OpenGov - Open Government Brainstorm

When I was a child, and I acted like a spoiled 5 year old and I whined and stamped my feet and DEMANDED attention because I didn’t get my way…my parents sent me to my room. And I’d holler and wail and stamp my feet until I realized that I would not be invited back to participate with the adults and have my voice heard until I changed my behavior and quit acting like an ass.

I could stamp my feet all I wanted, and nobody cared…because I was acting like a rotten little creep and no one wanted me around. When I got tired of being excluded from adult conversation I told my parents I was sorry and that I was ready to be a part of the discussion again.

We would talk and I would express my needs and they would listen. Sometimes I would get the things I’d ask for and sometimes they would explain to me why I wasn’t going to get things the way I wanted them, but they would be respectful and consider my wants.

It’s time for “birther” conservatives to be sent to their room and ignored. To be left out of the conversation by the adults until they are willing to quit making demands and screaming and stomping their feet…to be sent to their rooms until they are willing to work WITH their family members to make a pleasant, peaceful and respectful home for all of us…instead of dominating the environment with selfish, childish pettiness.

Dear luvwith,

I am sure that you are a nice person and in fact it is my suspicion that most everyone that voted for Obama is a decent soul. I just think that you all are ill-informed. Most of us so-called "birthers" have been following this issue for well over a year now, checking and re-checking research into this issue. We are not all right wing nuts. In fact I am a 60 yr old jazz pianist from upstate NY. I have 3 grown children and i love my country. Many of us are just scared. This is not the same country I grew up in.

Thanks for your comment and God Bless you

luvwith - look in the mirror and guit being so boring!

what does this subject have in common with the name of the thread?

To end the torture now, perhaps the moderators will remove all posts even tangentially related to the birth certificate. Obama is a citizen. People who think otherwise are conspiracy theorists, sore losers, or, sadly to say, racists.

Let him prove it. What is he hiding?
