So, at some point, you may have seen the supposed Kenyan "birth certificate" from Barack Obama floating around. The supposed definitive proof the he was born in Kenya. There is it. It must be the proof. The White House could manufacture their evidence, but no way in the world could this be manufactured. It's the truth. And the truth will come out. As you might suspect, there is a wee little problem with this. Not that you need any proof, since if you are reading this, it likely means you can follow words and concepts and form coherent thoughts. But sometimes it's nice to have the proper information to refute racist, crazed insanity with. Other than saying, "Are you racist, crazy insane??!" As it happens, I came across something today with helps with that effort. So, okay, then let's start with one, established fact. Type into any search engine a basic question, like the one below from Google -- Good, fine, got that. Barack Obama was born in 1961. That's well-established, and fully recognized. Even by the racist, insane crazies. Then, type in the appropriate follow-up question. Such as...well, this. Er...gee.
Kenya didn't even become a country until two years AFTER the "Kenyan birth certificate" for Barack Obama was issued!! Go figure. What a concept. Though hardly necessarily, it's nice to have actual, black-and-white proof. And yes, the pun was intended. The thing is, though, you know what this means? Barack Obama must have also lied about when he was born...

Max, thanks for your note. And for following the breadcrumbs from Mr. Evanier. I haven't done enough research to know whether Kenya's birth certificate forms changed after the country was officially established. But your larger point is most-particularly valid -- there is probably literally nothing that would convince a birther that their belief isn't true.
