Black Will Not Tolerate Any Discourse Or Debate

RECEIVED Sun., May 22, 2011

Dear Editor,
    Re: “Page Two” [May 20]: Louis Black is entitled to his opinion. It is clear that he will not tolerate any discourse or debate on the subject, that he enjoys his bully pulpit of 1,100-3,000 words. Letter writers who disagree may do so in 300 words or less but not in series. Mr. Black’s editorial, you might note, contains no facts. It is a series of generalizations (logical fallacies) and of mischaracterizations of Alex Jones. He makes no mention of the asserted problems with the president’s birth certificate issue, so certainly does not refute any of them. I will note one of the main problems of the most recent document: it is obviously computer generated. The president’s birth certificate would have been typed. Each typed character is an individual imprint, no two are exactly alike. But each letter in the birth certificate trotted out is identical to its counterpart, as are the letters of this post. Someone in the president’s closest circle would have forged it, which is why it is amateurish. If the president is not a United States citizen, this is not insubstantial or inconsequential. It would be a constitutional crisis of some significance, if less crucial than our illegal wars and bankrupt economy. Black is also entitled to his opinion that if our criminal government were removed, no one would have any idea how to run a constitutional operation restoring the balance of the three branches.
Sincerely,
Kenney C. Kennedy
