You Can't Reason with the Irrational

So, by whatever fluke of legislation allowed this to happen, the White House gave the Birthers what they've been screaming for and released his full birth certificate this Wednesday. When I heard this, I knew it was a mistake and I could almost hear the Birthers crying foul. See, the Birthers are conspiracy theorists and are, by their very nature, irrational. Giving them more evidence that undermines their preconceived notions is how you debate with a rational person. For the irrational, you just have to smile, nod, pet them on the head and give them a cookie. No evidence you give a conspiracy theorist will make them stop and say; "You know, I might be wrong about this." Any evidence you give them will, to them, prove their positions correct.

"Of course he's showing it now! It's been three years, it'd take them at least that long to make the best forgery of all!"

So, basically, what's happened is he gave the Birthers what they asked for and now they're more sure than ever that he wasn't born in the USA.

And you know what's fucking hilarious? He could have been born on the moon and could still hold the office of the President. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution states that Congress shall have the power:

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

Obama's mother was a citizen of the United States and that alone makes Obama an American citizen. But don't bother waiting to hear that bit from the Birthers.
