You just can't make this stuff up.

A Kentucky man has filed a demand to see Barack Obama's birth certificate. I know, I know, this is hardly new, but this guy is amazing--he's the stereotype we all have created to explain the past success of the Republican party.

Among the gems...

Essek lost by more than 100,000 votes when he tried to unseat longtime Republican U.S. Sen Mitch McConnell in the primary election this year. He later said on a Web site "maybe I got a little carried away, like my wife said."

But what Essek really wants is to have someone else pay for his loony fantasy:

What Essek filed was actually a request for permission to file the court case without having to pay a fee.

"I also affirm, owing to my poverty, having not the money, request all fees of this filing and service be waived," he wrote, citing his income in the last year as $15,000.

An organizing man, our Essek:

Essek said in the motion that he is founder of the Society for Liberty and Prosperity. Last week he said the society had no members but had scheduled an organizational meeting Saturday night at his home just north of the Tennessee line, has set up a Web site and is seeking members and donors.

No members! But what sort of agenda does your society have? Alphabetically, please, so we can keep up.

There are other objectives, too, according to the society's Web site, including defending rights, opposing tax increases and (in the exact words) to "eschew barbarism, collectivism, Communism, conformitism, despitism,, fachism, favoritism, imperialism, institutionalism, liberalism, Nazism, nepitism, progressivism, racism, sexism and Socialism."

And the finishing touch:

In November, he voted for John McCain because of Sarah Palin, he said.

1. i am also against 'despitism'...especially despite what all you smartasses think...

[kiva]

2. But how do you feel about

'nepitism'?

[islandmkl]

3. even the most fool-hardy among us know that 'nep' and all it encompasses...

is one of the scourges of 21st century society...it must be nipped in the bud at every opportunity...

[islandmkl]

4. wait...'nepitism' was mis-spelled in the article...

he, being a good animal lover (no assumptions made or assigned) is against NOPETISM...everyone should have at least one pet...that should be a law...i believe that what he was referring to...

[kiva]

6. Thank god...

I was just picturing a society of nep nippers, which is scary. Much better to think about him as an animal lover--but wait, how does that explain his admiration for Caribou Barbie the wolfkiller?

[islandmkl]

8. you're not quite understanding the deeper meaning

of animal lover...

[kiva]

10. Ewwwuuuuuuu!

Definitely opposed.

[Cleita]

5. Fool! But there are so many of them.n/t

[Turbineguy]

7. The results of inbreeding

with animals.

[DoctorMyEyes]

9. opposition to spellcheck

from what I can see

[Colobo]

11. Opposition to education, you might say...

[Beartracks]

12. Spellcheckism? Oh, I know...

... If spelling isn't important, then you must be against "elitism" too. Surprised that didn't make his list -- although there *is* a double-comma between "despitism" and "fachism", so maybe that's where it was supposed to go...

[DoctorMyEyes]

13. LOL! n/t

[Beartracks]

14. Unconvinced?

:eyes:

So..... If you think Obama's birth certificate is forged, then precisely what other documentation will satisfy your "patriotic curiosity" beyond a shadow of a doubt? What kind of proof will you not simply question the veracity of? Just because YOU remain unconvinced does not mean the matter has NOT been settled. It DOES mean, however, that you are not really interested in receiving a satisfactory answer.

Touch of paranoia, perhaps? A need for vindication and acceptance? Fear of abandonment? Tell us about your mother...

15. He's looking to be the next Joe the Pee, book deal, fame and donations.

[kiva]

16. Maybe he could use the donations to expand his society.

They obviously do such important work. :eyes:

[bluedawg12]

18. Yeah, him and three beagles. LOL.

[demwing]

17. I totally relate. I HATE Fachists and Despits

I totally eschew them, too. Especially when they nepitize each other.

[NJGeek]

[RushIsRot]

20. President Mercer, is that you? Why the name change?

[No Passaran]
