I am praying for Bill Keller and his friends

And if you’re the praying kind, I encourage you to do the same. This birther-mercial is running in Texas, and a few other places, and, speaking as a trained fundamentalist, I have to say I enjoy very much the ominous music. Though it is instrumental, and we didn’t have instrumental music at my church, it sent a delicious shiver up my spine, just as did those old get-your-ass-to-church hymns.

But the birthers just won’t let it go. They don’t want to move off their claim that Pres. Barack Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii. They want to believe that he is a foreign-born man who by law cannot be our President.

This was tiresome when it started, and now it’s crossed over into something else again.

We’re in two wars. Our health care system is broken beyond belief. Sin and degradation stalk our land, and yet, and yet, and yet this ignorant conversation continues.

There’s more at TPM.

Here’s more on Gary Kreep, who’s been rocking the political world since the ’70s.

Here’s  more on his United States Justice Foundation. And here’s  more on the United States Judo Federation, which must get rank-sick of people who mean to go the “justice” people and type the address wrong. Perhaps we should follow that organization’s lead when it comes to the birthers: Judo: The way of gentleness.

And thanks, AlterNet, for the link.
