I consider the following post to be ugly, and the mind that created it dangerous.

I can see the headlines now.

Judge Michael Malihi, after a bout of depression kills himself. Let's see, have there been many small airplane accidents in Georgia lately? Well, they're probably due for one. Oh wait, heart attack? Stroke?

I'm sure they'll think of something.

Who are "they"?

When the RNC no longer has use for the birthers they will be relegated to their rightful non-place in history. What else can you do with a tool that is worn out and no longer serviceable?

People keep making that observation, because other people keep conveniently forgetting it.

Additionally it isn't pointless to those who remind us of that fact, it's only pointless to those who don't care. I don't care, you don't care, but some people DO care, and it's not up to us to dictate to others whait they should or should not care about.

For the Birthers here still deluded into believing the President will attend Thursday's hearing.

Judge's order in ‘birther' case unlikely to draw Obama *| ajc.com

By Bill Rankin

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Even though President Barack Obama has been summoned to a court hearing here Thursday, don’t expect the Commander in Chief to come.

Obama will embark on a three-day trip following his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, White House press secretary Jay Carney said during a press briefing Monday. The White House has said that Obama will be in Las Vegas, Denver and Detroit this Thursday.
...

Marietta lawyer Melvin Goldstein, who is not involved in the case, said if the hearing goes on as scheduled without Obama, Malihi could refer the matter to a Fulton County Superior Court judge. It would be up to that judge to decide whether to enforce the subpoena and, if necessary, hold the president in contempt, Goldstein said.

Eric Segall, a Georgia State University law professor, predicted that won’t happen.

“There have been many, many lawsuits trying to litigate the issue of the president’s nationality,” Segall said. “They have all been dismissed and this one should be too. In light of the frivolousness of the case, the judge has no valid authority to require the president to appear in court.”
In fact, even Obama's lawyer may not attend.

It could just be Judge Malihi and the Birthers, making noise, accomplishing nothing.

You know something, it has been 147 years since a president from Illinois let Sherman burn Atlanta and then leave a path of destruction to the sea. Now another president from Illinois is trying to impose his will on Georgia and defy their law!

This is all pointless. If the birthers had a video recording showing the President Obama being born in Hawaii and if it were attested to and notorized by God Himself, and if the founding fathers came back in person to tell them that anyone born on U.S. soil was a natural born citizen, they still would not believe it. Because, at the end of the day the President would still be black and that is all that matters to them.

Really? That's what they thought? If that was the case then, why did they need the 14th Amendment and why didn't they just leave Citizen in Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5?

I guess it depends on what your defintion of "if" is!

So, how fireproof is Atlanta these days?

It appears some would still prefer the "one drop" definition.
