American Majority has now also done the same thing, even calling it “truthers and birfers” just as Erickson did. Sheep. Follow the leader…. They are all following their leader…and it must be Obama.

I have never been to that website either as I have seen Erickson on Hannity several times and had already concluded he was an idiot. He is a good example of people inside the beltway losing their minds and forgetting about normal lives.

You have oft heard it said ; that we are a nation of immigrants well…..
The Founders/Framers had no intentions, what-so-ever, of permitting NON- U.S. immigrants to install their offspring as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces aka “The President”

Red State/Conservatives?
I went to this web site for the first time, thought It was for Obot’s. Maybe they are the Country Club, Beck/O’reilly variety of Conservative who get a little queasy when things get uncomfortable. Cowards
I have more respect for the Dem’s who challenged John Mc Cain on the NBC issue.

Dear readers of The Post & Email,

Eric Ericson has posted his “final thought” on the Eligiblity Question…

http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/02/14/my-final-thought-on-the-birther-issue/

Read it, it’s juicy…

“final thought” is a misnomer, however; as it seems that Erickson is not really capable of the exercise of his rational faculty, and actually seems emotionally tied up with the impulse to deny such a use….for someone with a law degree, Erickson is a shocking example of a closed liberal mind.

I’d never heard of this Redstate.com website, so it didn’t matter much to me, but it was very funny when I heard my husband say this morning that he was deleting any future communication from them after he read about the “no further posts regarding the Obama b.c.” I had no idea that it was one of the ones that he frequently read. Over 40 years together and there’s still some surprises. We are both conservative, but read different news sites for our information. I tend to think that it gives us double the conservative news exposure.

Mr. Charlton replies: Redstate.com proposes itself as a leading Republican news source from Washington D.C..

What I do not understand, being someone who has never affiliated with any party, a sort of political neophyte…is how naive politically Redstate.com’s editor is.

If the opposition is making fun of you for an issue, you don’t stop talking about that issue, you first investigate as to the motivations of the opposition and why they feel so vulnerable on that issue, and if they are vulnerable, you don’t comply with their ridicule, you double your push of that issue and use it to defeat them.

If you are afraid of the laughter of your enemies, you only show yourself to be pyschologically and emotionally unprepared for war.

I gather that this Ericson does not come from a military family, because he shows little signs of the virtues which reign therein.

If I were a big supporter of Redstate.com financially, I’d give them a phone call and ask them when did they lose both their marbles and their masculinity.
