birthers

It seems to me, if Obama was white, there wouldn't have been birthers demanding to see the birth certificate or claiming still that the one provided is a fake.  McCain was born in Panama, but I didn't hear any talk about that.  there are many who still believe Obama isn't an American...when all known evidence shows he was.  from this lie comes the myth that he's some secret communist secret weapon and that his goal is to destroy America.  This is the empty chair, the make believe president, that republicans fear...a monster created from their own myths and big lies.  no matter what evidence reality provides, there are millions of Americans who hate Obama, think liberals are plotting to destroy America, and that republicans are honest, church going folk with strong moral values and the only hope for America...because all they listen to is republican propaganda and everything that disagrees with the propaganda is part of the huge conspiracy against them, so all other news media are the ones lying, but Fox is the one bringing the truth. 

Both sides see the evil in the other side.  I see both.  I see the good they try to do, too.  It seems there are certain issues that people are deeply passionate about, and those issues are how they vote, so politicians pick one side or the other, continue the debate, the blame, and keep us distracted, so both parties can work together to do the evil biddings of the coporate overlords.  that's the conspiracy that makes sense to me.  I see the obvious manipulations of FOX as well as the failure in other networks to report the truth, to tell the American people the real information, the important truths...most people like me become apathetic or activists.  I ache to become more revolutionary.
