in case you didn't know

for anyone just tuning in ^[1], this is the definition of a conspiracy theory constitutional crisis of biblical proportions:

former president bush knows his successor could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. former vp cheney knows his former boss' successor could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. former presidential hopeful mccain knows his former rival could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. former presidential hopeful clinton knows her former rival could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. former vp hopeful palin knows her former running-mate's rival could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. vp biden knows the only official ahead of him in the chain of succession could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. the republican national committee knows their rival party head could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. 40 republican senators know the president could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. 178 republican congresspersons know the president could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. 173 electoral voters know the president could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. 9 supreme court justices know the president could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. 6 joint chiefs of staff know their commander-in-chief could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. ken starr and every 5-star conservative attorney in the country know the president could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. rush limbaugh, glenn beck and all the president's biggest critics in the media know the president could be an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it beside making jokes. hawaii's health department knows the president IS IN FACT an illegal usurper and won't do anything about it. hawaii's republican governor lingle knows about her health department and won't do anything about it. BUT ... ... a ragtag assortment of mostly anonymous but scrappy self-proclaimed "patriots" of dubious qualifications and even more dubious personalities from across the internet not only know the president is in fact an illegal usurper, but, despite the combined apathy of everyone who matters and who should take action, CAN also do something about it.

well, either that, OR ...

barack hussein obama ii IS IN FACT the legitimate, fair-and-square resident of 1600 pennsylvania avenue and everyone who matters knows the birthers are all full of shit.

jeepers ...

... just how is a genuinely open-minded citizen supposed to know which is true?

for the sake of every real american and their children's children, we simply cannot afford to choose wrongly ...
