Several pundits remarked today in blathering about President Barack Obama finally resorting to having the State of Hawaii produce his "long form" birth certificate, that what used to be considered the "fringe" of right-wing partisans has moved in to become the center of the Republican Party.
I absolutely disagree with that assessment.
Rather than the fringers moving in and becoming the mainstream of one of only two major political parties in this country, the mainstream of that party has moved out to the fringe.
What's the difference? you might ask.
There's a huge difference.
It's one thing for parasites that cluster around the edges of a host to invade and take over the body then consume it by devouring it from the inside out.
When that happens in nature, the host body becomes infested and if the parasite gets a firm enough of a foothold, the host is rendered helpless and dies. Pity the pure hapless host.
It's quite another thing for the host to migrate out to the fringe, embrace the parasites then suck them in and, of its on volition, transform itself into the fringe of parasites so that they feed off of each other and become indistinguishable from each other.
Here's someone who clearly and eloquently states the case behind, not only the 'birther' inanity, but the Republicans' merger with fringers. http://www.thegrio.com/politics/why-obama-shouldnt-have-had-to-show-his-papers.php
