A Birther is someone who believes that the US president was secretly born in Kenya (a country that did not exist at the 
date of his birth), and that a conspiracy involving his parents, the state of Hawaii and local Hawaiian newspapers was 
started before he was born to disguise that fact.  Birthers with lower lead content in their blood claim that he cannot 
be President because - like past Republican President Chester A Arthur - both of his parents were not American citizens 
at birth.

This is not to be confused with a "Deather", though by and large they are the same folks.  Deathers believe that the 
effort to reform the US healthcare system is a veiled effort to euthanize the elderly of America, reasoning (not to 
stretch the meaning of the word) that - as happens in such socialist hell-holes as the UK, Sweden and Canada - once The 
Guvernment is given complete and unquestioned control of healthcare they will choose to deny medicine to old people.  I 
believe the theory is that this will endear the ruling party with the younger voters who will then inherit Grandpa's 
old slippers.
