Freeper / Repuke Knuckle-dragger --- Chain Email of the Week

[NoodleyAppendage]

Sadly, my father is lost to the mindless throng of Freeper clones and he sees fit to include me in his Repuke chain email missives. Here's the latest and I'll post others under this thread as they come along. Often it's instructive to see what the de-evolution sect is up to...

Love This Comeback

One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops Everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.

But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U S flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock.

The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:

"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY COUNTRY and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that, had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."

Everyone within hearing distance cheered!

IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all
your proud American friends. I just DID

2. That's been going around for a couple of years now.

It's just an urban legend. If I was you, I'd just ask my father to quit sending this stuff as it offends you.

And, good luck in my not receiving these emails.
