Birthers in Atlanta should not take FEMA help : a test ?

The money comes from the office of FEMA, and we "own" the office. Take the money. This has nothing to do with whether or not Obama was once a citizen of Indonesia and still is.

No, that is not the point:  The point is not that "Birthers"  should not be allowed FEMA $$$,  should be denied it,  or should not take it:  The point is that they themselves declare this an illegitimate administration,  and encourage OTHERS not to take stimulus funding.  If they are people of their word,  they would act so in this case as well.  This is a question of psychological self-understanding,  FEMA is just an example.  

Disagree. If Obama is or was ever a citizen of Indonesia, he is an illegitimate occupier of the office.

Money to help Americans does not come from him. It comes from the American government. American citizens and legal residents are entitled to the money. 

The blogger assumes that it is morally right and consistent for the birthers to reject the money. I don't see why.

Where is the statement by a birther that residents in need of help should refuse the money? I don't see such a statement.

I only see a statement by a non-birther as to how birthers should think and behave.

We usually agree, but I still maintain the fact that those in political positions, i.e. governors, city officials et al, who use their power to take a political stance that adversely effects American citizens and withholds services based on strictly political differences, no matter what it is, is wrong.  If a constituency of any legislator is harmed or suffers from partisian politics, that legislator is answerable to them.  I consider a legislator to be the arm of whom he represents, not the whole body. 

Yes,  I see what you both mean.  I think what I identified with,  in the blogger post,  was the very simple idea that:  "This is an illegitimate Usurper of a President,  and since Biden and Pelosi were in on it,  the entire administration is illegitimate"  (this is,  in fact, their argument)---yet when it comes to declaring federal emergency  -  and it does need the President to do this, and allocate the FEMA funds  -  then it suddenly becomes legit.  Very simple, like, "if you hate me, don't take from me"----it was really a tongue-in-cheek post,  we all know they will take the $$$.  

The fact is. The money will not come if OBAMA does not sign off on it. He's the only one that has that power and authority.

Never happen birffers are lacking in the "consistency gene" If they want to make sure the constitution is supported but have not problem with homeland security -- it is really fun to watch the cognitive dissonance  make their little heads explode.  I see tea baggers -- I see dumb people.
