Although I haven't seen a lot of photos of the birthers themselves, I suspect that they are predominantly white, anglo-saxon protestants, but I could be wrong, and have been many times before.

I also suspect that the birthers are virulent racists who are absolutely messing their pants over the sight of a black man in their white house.

And did you know that 'birther' ain't in the dictionary?

So this isn't too hard to figure out.

Although I do know a black conservative who said the other day to me he knows Obama wasn't born in Kenya, but "If somehow, this controversy got him out of there, I wouldn't care. Country first. That fool is destroying MY country"

I tried to point out how ridiculous a statement that was, on so many levels, but I gave up.......some of these people are just not worth it.
