Why is this comedy video in the 'Politics, Philosophy, and Religion' section?

Is this man a birther, or is he making fun of the birthers? Fact is, the accusations are garbage and quite exaggerated, so it could be the later.

Would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar
and be better off than you are
or would you rather be a Republican?

He’ll rant against the Liberal, the Commie, the Queer
he’s happiest when wallowing in fear.
His mind is narrow but his back is broad
He’s quite, quite certain that Barack’s a fraud
and by the way if you hate majority rule
You may grow up to be a Republican.

Oh would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar
and be better off than you are
or would you rather be a Conservative?

A Conservative’s a fella who believes in hard work
he thinks that Pelosi’s just a jerk.
He’s for smaller government and prayer in school
but no new taxes – that’s his Golden Rule
But if you love guns and several foreign wars
You may grow up to be a Conservative.

Oh would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar
and be better off than you are
or would you rather follow Rush?

Now Rush he’s a fan of small d-mocracy
with just a touch of jingo and hypocrisy.
He’s got all the answers to our nation’s ills
and he’ll sure explain ‘em as he’s poppin’ those pills.
So if your brain has been lately turned to mush
You maybe oughta follow Rush.

Not all your Fascists step like a goose
There are more and more on the loose
Spreading lies and heaping abuse.
They’re so much better than you are
That’s why they’re shootin’ down your star.

Why do you assume one must love war to be a conservative?

Conservatives are usually business oriented and war is great business.

thank you very much for that! i was singing along with it.

now if you could do one about country joe mcdonald's "the fixin' to die rag"-

"come on, all you big strong men,
uncle sam needs your help again!
he's got himself in a terrible jam,
way down yonder in afganistan!
so put down your books,
pick up a gun,
we're gonna have a whole lot of fun!

[and it's]
one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
don't ask me i don't give a damn,
next stop's afganistan!"
[and it's]
five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates-
well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
whoopie! we're all gonna die!

Now come on wall street don't be slow,
why man, this war's a go-go.
There's plenty of money to be made,
by supplying the army with the tools of the trade.
Just hope and pray when they start the bombing,
they drop 'em all on ol' Bin Laden.

[and it's]
one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
don't ask me, i don't give a damn-
next stop is afganistan!
[and it's] five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates-
well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
whoopie! we're all gonna die!

So come on mothers throughout the land,
pack your boys off to fight taliban-
come on fathers don't hesitate,
send your girls off before it's too late!
Be the first ones on your block to have your kids
come home in a box -

[and it's]
one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
don't ask me, i don't give a damn-
next stop is afganistan!
[and it's]
five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates-
well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
whoopie! we're all gonna die!
________
i could only fill in a bit of it, maybe you can make it a really new antiwar song for the new century.
and to all readers who question the good taste of this song, remember it is satire after all.

Smaller businesses may suffer, though.

As for my vote - "other" - while I'd vote for Obama if a US citizen, I'd be a very lacklustre and critical supporter. Opinions of Obama would be analogus to these folks view - his centrism isn't helpful, but he's the least bad of the two major parties in the American duopoly.

I urge everyone with a grain of sanity to give this clownish video a I star. It's about time the wingut echo chamber get punctured.

I'd love to see this genius's evidence for "multiple social security numbers". A lot of the crap this "concerned citizen" is peddling has been debunked here, here, and here.

Obama haters are raciest paranoid psychotics that should be locked away, they are just sore losers who fail to see that he was voted democratically into power, at least these tinfoil hate wearing nut jobs are a minority in the US, unfortunately they scream the loudest and are potentially extremely violent if they don' get their way.
I flagged this video as offensive

I think censorship is going a little far. I agree with the Pharynguloid tactic when dealing with clowns: POINT AND LAUGH.
