I BEG of you..Tell me this post on Craig's List is satire
or we are doomed

quote......
Our army and political system is ALWAYS being run by GOD INSPIRED GENIUSES ELECTED BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE. If they weren't blessed by GOD, HOW THE HELL COULD THEY BECOME PRESIDENT???? Thus, I'd trust ANY President to do the right thing. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE PRESIDENT. Screw Habeus Corpus, it's just some words on paper. The real issue is security, isn't it??? Do we really need all these "enumerated" rights??? Hell no

end quote....
There is a lot more if you dare

2. It has to be satire. If it wasn't it was written by
a deranged maniac. A repuke would have said now it is perfect but not under Clinton.

16. Actually, yes. She moved to Florida
and her whole political outlook changed. :shrug: And BTW, she's in her 70s. Very bizarre. We used to have political screaming matches until I couldn't take it anymore.

17. Supposedly there is about 10% of the population who is like that
According to pollsters, you can reliably predict that about that number will ALWAYS support the President, no matter who he is. Very weird but there you have it. :shrug:

4. I think it is satire....
Despite the capitals, there aren't enough misspellings and grammatical crap.

I can say it wasn't me....

8. Hope it's satire, but personally know too many people with that mindset
to find much comfort if it is satire. For too many, it is the sum total of their efforts in defending America.

10. You're only doomed if you agree with such dribble. . .
there's nothing new or unusual about this or countless similar idiotic sentiments -- American political life has always been a struggle between the forces of reason and those of insanity.

And if it's satire, its poorly written and weakly constructed, so again, my guess is you're only doomed if you agree with the basic premise.

12. Anyone who uses "By Gum!" in a post
is being satirical.

13. Was Clinton a God inspired genius?
If so, why did they have to impeach him?
