Linda: I agree with you basically. You have to understand that DC libertarians live in a liberal Democratic terrarium and easily fall into the cultural assumptions of the ruling class media with whom they socialize. That's why they are berated by other libertarians, often unfairly, as "cosmotarians," "Beltway libertarians" ("Craniacs," "Kochtopus" etc).
-- Kyle and others: I agree that EVERY other issue is more important than where Mama Sotero's placenta hit the ground.
John: I agree with you that birthers aren't really "birthers." They are transparency advocates protesting media bias and cover up (akin to the cover up of Clinton's sexual assaults and John Edward's love child with a deranged stalker employee and Teddy Kennedy's murder or manslaughter of a staffer he had probably impregnated and obviously committed adultery with, and the Kennedy administrations cover up of JFK's adultery and possible (delegated) murder of Marilyn Monroe -- not to mention Jesse Jackson, Dodd, Waters, Rangels etc financial shenanigans -- i.e. their constant cover ups of major character flaws of Democratic leaders) and Obama's lawyers spending millions to seal these records, including transcripts, client lists etc.
Let's not call each other names. (Unless I do it!) Let's have a forum where people can express weird, unheard of, and undesirable opinions, including your own. And you are free to ignore them or object.
By the way Kyle, I have seen no reply to the Denninger video that purports (persuasively prima facie IMHO) that the release document is obviously a composed image and not an image of a unitary original document.

First, I believe it's more productive to talk about "sealers" (who supported keeping Obama's birth and other records secret) and "anti-sealers" (who support making them public record) than "birthers" and "anti-birthers."
Second, I would support impeaching Obama for *real* reasons, such as violating the War Powers Act, and for other violations of the Constitution and of his oath.
The problem is that it would make Joe Biden become President, and Biden is actually worse than Obama.
Let's start by impeaching folks like Eric Holder, Hilda Solis, and Kathleen Sibelius, who actually carried out the policies that Obama wanted, e.g. racial discrimination by the US Department of Justice.
I'll also point out that, like Bill Clinton, Obama is doing a good job of poisoning the Democratic Party.
15 years ago Andrew Sullivan (whose brain had not yet been damaged by AIDS the way it is now, poor guy) said that he wanted Clinton to be the "last man standing" in the Democratic Party, and Christopher Hitchens (whose health had not yet been ravaged by cancer, poor guy) said Clinton would soon have "no one left to lie to."
I figure the same applies to Obama.
