Remember the birther craze, based on the notion that Barack Obama was really born in Africa, and was therefore ineligible for the Presidency? Well, it's back, baby -- in mutant form.

Someone found an old agency promo booklet for Obama's first, never-published book. The bio described him as "born in Kenya."

As most non-insane articles that refer to Obama's birthplace -- including the first New York Times story on him, written in 1990 -- say it's Hawaii, you'd imagine normal people would find this just an amusing birther-ific coincidence.

But our subjects, the rightbloggers, are not like normal people. Their reaction has spawned afterbirtherism -- in which Obama is attacked, not for pretending to be from America, but for pretending to be from Kenya.

As everyone has heard by now, Pride Week came a little early to the White House as President Obama declared, "I think same sex couples should be able to get married." He didn't push any legislation, and he said legalization should be left up to the states. But he is a U.S. President who has endorsed gay marriage, and before last week there had been no such thing. So there's that.

Rightbloggers were against it, of course. But in their defense, it had nothing to do with their feelings about gay people -- whether they hated them or pretended to like them, they still felt the same way.

Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama came out in 1995 and has sold over a million copies, but to rightbloggers it is a constantly fresh source of discovery.

For years, some of them have insisted that Obama didn't really write it. A few weeks back, they made much of the fact that a passage from it revealed as boy in Indonesia he had eaten dog meat.

Last week somebody noticed that some people in the 17-year-old book were described in the introduction as "composites." Rightbloggers were outraged. Whoever heard of such a thing -- besides, that is, the hundreds of thousands of people who read it?

We're coming up to the first anniversary of Osama Bin Laden's demise. Some media outlets celebrated with cute headlines ("Osama Bin Laden Used Viagra And 'Just-For-Men' To Keep His Wives Interested In Him"). President Obama celebrated with an ad reminding everyone that he killed him.

To rightbloggers, this was an outrage. So was Obama cutting up on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. How dare he thus demean the office of the Presidency? That's their job.

For months, the growing probability that Mitt Romney, least acceptably conservative of the Republican Presidential contenders, would face Obama in November made rightbloggers moody and irritable.

They've been coming around, but slowly. When Newt Gingrich's supporters attacked Romney's years as a corporate raider, and Hilary Rosen sassed his wife Ann, some rightbloggers reflexively rallied to Romney's defense. Still, a more positive motivation for Mittism was lacking.

That came last week, via an old story about Obama eating dog meat as a boy.

In the past month, because they endorsed multiple (and sometimes bizarre) anti-abortion laws and denounced efforts to have contraception included in health insurance plans, conservatives found themselves advertised as making a "war on women."

But last week they were able to turn the tables, because a Democratic operative said that the wife of Mitt Romney was, due to her great wealth, unfamiliar with the world of work.

Or, at least, this is how recent history has been recorded by rightbloggers.

Last week John Derbyshire, a now-former writer for National Review, published elsewhere an article that was plainly racist -- by which we mean, its racism was not veiled or masked in the manner that has become common among rightbloggers, but overt; it asserted that black people were less intelligent than whites and more prone to violence, and thus should be avoided.

You have probably already guessed what comes next. While a few rightbloggers thought this was a bridge too far, and many ignored it (or, like Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds, pretended they couldn't read it), a depressing number found it a refreshing departure from "political correctness," or just plain agreed with Derbyshire's conclusions.

Conservatism is making a big comeback, folks. The proof? The tremendous success of Human Achievement Hour on Saturday.

What, you never heard of it? Well, you've heard of Earth Hour, right? That thing where all the stupid hippies turned their lights off for an hour to celebrate their precious, so-called "environment"?

Well, Human Achievement Hour was celebrated that same night by conservatives who left their lights on. And, on Saturday night, more people had their lights on than off. So conservatives win! Haw haw, eat it, stupid libtards!

One of the enduring myths of American conservatism is that there's still racism in this country -- and it's suffered by white people at the hands of blacks and white liberal race-traitors.

Normal people who've been out of their homes a time or two will find that puzzling. But for rightbloggers it's a home truth.

Don't believe it? Feast your eyes on the rightblogger coverage of the Trayvon Martin case.

Obama's coming up for reelection, and gas prices and unemployment are high. So why do rightbloggers concentrate instead on cultural issues like abortion, contraception and Rush Limbaugh's opinion of Sandra Fluke?

Some think it's because they're bunch of misogynists*. We think it's because they hate to lose arguments. When their heroes say something crazy, they're compelled to defend them, even when they know it's ridiculous. Can't let those libtards have the last word!

But last week many of the brethren found some gumption and opposed Rick Santorum's war on porn. This would be admirable -- had they not decided that Santorum was wrong because, by trying to stamp out porn, he had turned into a liberal.
