@Don Alaska I must commend you on making what can be said to arguably be the best post you have done. The facts representing Obama's illigitimacy are certainly well-esconsed in the non-biased history of it all. Most troubling to me is the fact that our country, being "of, by, and for the people", has become "of, by, and for the government", in reality. This happened, IMO, as a sad and deplorable result of insufficient numbers of Americans becoming gradually more and more incensed beginning around the start of the last century, and continuing on to a state of apathy today.

A large part of the current situation was created as a consequence of two men in the early 20th century--John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson. Although preceded by Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson was the vital pusher of the Progressive Movement, whose primary tenet was that the Constitution was not adequate for "modern day America" and should be set aside. That philosophy was pushed even further by another Roosevelt--FDR--who pushed the U.S. as far down the road to Socialism as he could before the war interrupted his "Progress". John Dewey was an "Education Reformer" who developed the idea that the Public Schools could be used to make the populace more malleable and able to be "shaped" to the will of the government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey
