The mentality we are dealing with

[LuckyTheDog]

This sums up the Tea-baggerist world view pretty well, I think:

The leader of this end to Western Civilization is none other than the usurper President of the United States, a person who was ushered into power by billions of unaccounted petrol dollars, doing the bidding of the Ayatollahs from Iran, doing his best to, one day, fly the flag of Islam over the Capitol and the White House. Goodbye, United States Constitution.. But it took many Americans to pave the way for our impending destruction: Attorney General Eric Holder; Janet Napolitano of Homeland Security, who still refuses to uphold the law by deporting illegal immigrants; members of Congress; numerous government employees, many with the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. who have known that Obama is ineligible to hold the office of President; and thousands in the media who have refused to address the issue of multiple Social Security numbers among other felonies committed by Obama.

We cannot allow this travesty of justice to continue for another four years. The election is next year, so NOW is the time to apply pressure on our elected officials and government employees to keep Obama’s name OFF THE BALLOT. Had the secretaries of state done their job vetting the candidates in the first place, Obama’s name never would have been on the ballot in 2008. It just goes to prove that we have a one-party system, because both Republican and Democratic secretaries of state utterly failed the American people when they failed to vet Obama the first time.. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. The cost is the United States of America: either she will stand, or we’ll give it away. It’s our choice.

In closing, a word of prudence and caution. Being prepared for any contingency is admirable. There is absolutely no downside in being prepared for the worst. When I bought my house, it didn’t have a storm cellar, a safe haven from tornadoes, so I built one. We haven’t had a need to use it yet, but that doesn’t mean it was a wasted effort; on the contrary, the peace of mind that I’ve been afforded has been worth it. Same with owning weapons: I’ve yet to use one, save for target practice, but if I need it, I have it handy. I suggest you do the same.

1. Yikes. Rabid curs. n/t

2. Generally, one euthanizes rabid dogs.....

which has a certain clarity, but one can't do that to humans.

4. in certain myths

children were not allowed to live because of defects. These curs would have been some that would not have been allowed to stay and infect the entire population.

3. Never fails to amaze me how someone can spread these lies with such vitriol

and do so anonymously. You'd think they'd proudly identify themselves. More amazing I guess is that there are those who buy into this crap without even questioning it. I get these kind of e-mail forwards from a relative. I have tried several times to respond with facts from sources other than Snopes (now that it's been pronounced liberal and thus not to be believed), but my words fall on deaf ears, so I've given up. The messages are so meanspirited, a couple of times I sent my relative the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi about being an instrument of peace (she's Catholic and thought that might get to her), but alas, that too fell on deaf ears. The mentality of these Obama-haters makes them hopeless, in my opinion. Pissed Off Vietnam Vet fears for our country because of Obama...I fear for my country because of those like him.

Lizz Winestead has it right. They are hopeless.

6. " the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) have acquiesced to any and all requests from the White House,"

"acquiesced to requests" from their Commander in Chief????

Thanks for digging that shit up!

8. Terrorists

And we negotiated with them once so why wouldn't they try it again. Never, ever, negotiate with terrorists.

9. No way to really get a handle on how many there are of this psycho's ilk in the US

I suppose they number in the tens of millions, to varying degrees of insanity, paranoia, and hate-fueled bigoted ignorance, but what really is or could be considered the cut-off point? Where does the boundary line lie between rational thought, and teh out-and-out crazy?
