A would-be terrorist who only succeeds in setting his balls on fire does not a national emergency make. And I think I'd say the same thing if this happened under Bush; we need calm in situations like this, not fearmongering and blind loving panic.

Man with all the heat Obama is getting you'd think he spent almost a full 3 years on vacation days while presiding over two different wars, one of which had no practical or substantial connection with the 9/11 attacks and that he and his entire administration lobbied for under false pretenses.

Blagh, hate this poo poo, just got one last week about how the native Americans called Obama "eagle too full of poo poo to fly", I deleted it. Er here it is http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/eagle.asp Sorry if this is a repost! quote:Senator BARACK OBAMA, was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York. HE spoke for almost an hour on HIS future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should HE one day become the President. HE referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed 'YES' for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. Although the Senator was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his 'red sisters and brothers'. I wish we weren't all so god drat apathetic so we could backlash against this poo poo and do some legendary fuckery. Umph fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jan 9, 2010 |

Stupid Email posted:No mention of "Pearl Harbor Day," which commemorates the death of over 2500 American Service Men and an untold death toll of civilians on that fretful day. Wikipedia posted:The overall death toll reached 2,350, including 68 civilians, and 1,178 injured. Are they conflating Pearl Harbor with 9/11 that badly?

Update on the bootstrappin through a snowstorm email: http://www.snopes.com/katrina/soapbox/snowfall.asp The best part is here in my opinion: quote:The e-mail makes the claim of the snowbound Dakotans that "No one howled for the government." Yet in a 31 October 2005 letter to President Bush sent through FEMA, Governor John Hoeven of North Dakota did indeed "request that you declare a major disaster for the State of North Dakota as a result of a severe winter storm/snowfall, accompanied by record-breaking snowfall, rain and high winds, that occurred on October 4-6, 2005."

So many of those things, if I lived in Oklahoma and just found them out through that email I'd be like "drat, we're a bunch of assholes." The only one that sounds harmless is the gun thing, which means it's probably oversimplified and gives Oklahomans the right to shoot browns from their car or something.

I'm pretty sure illegal immigrants would like to live in this country legally and just move without going through proper channels because it's next to impossible for them, not just because they want to live some lovely life off of the grid.

quote:Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003 What the hell kind of nonsense is that? Why do these people think you can just declare yourself to free of federal mandates and then it's so? Also, the South will rise again? With Montana and Utah? Honestly, the whole "we'll just ignore everyone else and pass whatever bills we please, constitutionally be damned" attitude is prevalent in my state legislature and it drives me insane. That's my money (in the form of taxes) that you are wasting on some stupid personal crusade that will never pass muster with the courts. Meanwhile, DCFS could really use some more caseworkers and there are 35+ kids in a class, but at least those damned feds won't be telling us what to do. Jimminy Cricket.

I think the problem is that many conservatives think illegals like being illegal because it means they dont pay taxes and they see on the news about illegals getting free health care, food stamps, everything from bleeding heart liberals and basically dont know what theyre talking about.

For those suggesting Snopes as a good source of debunking (it is), your dumb relatives may not take it so seriously. I have at least 3 that refute anything researched by Snopes, because the founders of Snopes are in fact totally "in the tank" for Obama (i.e. commie sympathizers). Just a heads up. I've received this twice now.quote:Subject: Snopes under fire
