-Atom- posted:An interesting and very factual blog that I've been reading lately. For more you can find the site here... Jesus Christ do these motherFUCKERS ever actually read the sites at the links they send to others?! From the "history unfolding" blog link sent by your brother: http://www.blogger.com/profile/05020082243968071584 David Kaiser posted:The email circulating widely attributed to me comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler is a forgery: see snopes.com/politics/soapbox/proportions.asp. Comments are welcome, but comments that are both abusive and anonymous will be deleted. http://snopes.com/politics/soapbox/proportions.asp The long passage sent from your brother is not from the guy's blog but it's a bogus email falsely attributed to him. I still think you should send this information to your brother just on principle, but I'm sure like most right wingers he just won't care at all that he's sending around fake poo poo attributed falsely to another man for some reason. He won't be embarrassed, or mortified, or anything probably. Send it to him anyway though. They just DON'T CARE. Edit: Actually it's worth spending some time on the guy's blog, it's well written. The part that really pisses me off is that he's obviously an Obama supporter (read the stuff from Nov 08). No doubt some right winger got pissed off reading his stuff or arguing on his blog and specifically picked him to falsely attribute this piece of poo poo email to. You should forward the Obama supporting stuff to your brother. Zwabu fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Apr 12, 2010 |

Lansdowne posted:I just got this from my uncle. I'm really tempted with replying with redstatesocialism.jpg, then again, he seems to think that mayors wield this much power when it comes to poverty rates, so I doubt it would do much good. How many of those are considered red states or even purple states that elect conservative governors or have state legislatures that are split?

That's actually my sister, but I could give you a laundry list of things she's been doing since she changed her entire political ideology. Obama is a socialist/nazi/muslim and not a natural born citizen of the United States. Pretty much views anything Alex Jones as gospel. Chemtrails. Is beginning to fast for 10 days at a time to get rid of 'toxins' because people have been doing it for 'hundreds of years'. Her five year plan consists of getting married to the guy that put this nutty poo poo in her head, have 1 or 2 kids, live in a subterranean home and basically live off the land and maybe getting off the grid. Seriously she did a complete 180 when she met this guy. I think it's mostly to do with the fact that she's a gigantic racist, just graduated from college and works a low paying office manager to her boyfriend's parents orthodontist office. She just views most of her hard work in college as a waste of time subconsciously and has a very 'gently caress everybody' attitude since she was dealt such a lovely hand. That's my theory anyway, or she's just loving crazy.

Posted this truthout article to my facebook (the "We were just told to shoot people and the officers would take care of us" one): me posted:If it wasn't already obvious enough, we have an endemic problem in the military:http://www.truthout.org/iraq-war-vet-we-were-told-just-shoot-people-and-officers-would-take-care-us58378 Cue my dad goin' with the ol' "war is hell" standby: dad posted:I would say we have an endemic problem in the country. The problem is that some folks forget that war is not a police action, the soldiers job is to kill people and break things. Innocent people get killed and not always by mistake. Previous generations looked an the fire bombings of Dresden as a necessary tactic to wear down the enemys will to fight. Nagasaki and Hiroshima same thing. A war does not end with negotiations and treaties. It end when one side looses it's will to fight. Jackholes from winter soldier should be ridiculed into the dark corners of the shame and summarily pissed on just for good measure. Their purpose is to destroy Americas will to fight and win wars. The Iraq war was a war of purpose. Our goal should be to win it. Tried using sound logic/reasoning/history/fact, whoops I mean Liberal propaganda: me posted:Wait, there was an actual legitimate purpose to the Iraq war? News to me. I wouldn't really call it a war either, it's been more or less an incredibly wasteful occupation the moment U.S. forces entered the city. I'm not sure how we "win" the huge mess we've made over there. Now I'm outed as the America hating, troop loathing liberal doom-and-gloomer that I really am. Also, American Exceptionalism: dad posted:Yes there was/is a ligit purpose to the war. lets set that aside for now. I'm more interested in why it is that there does not seem to be much about how this country is, as it exists. that you admire. It is fine to hold liberal views but buying into all this "evil empire" crap is just going to leave you cynical. This is a great country that has accomplished great things. Our military is the most professional and capable in the history of the world. The volunteers should be harolded as american heros and not a reckless gang. The military leadership, including the president should be respected, not ridiculed. When crimes are committed by our soldiers they are held to account. I have confidence of that. Please try to remember that we now have a dog in this fight. And instead of trying to "imagine theirs no countries, it's easy if you try" just try to imagine this world without our country. We are not the problem, we are the solution Seriously, I think my dad thinks that the world is like a Tom Clancy novel and every soldier is Jack Bauer, shining arbiters of freedom and democracy around the globe.

All of that in total really would make me wonder if she's sliding into mental illness, and I don't mean that in a "condescending liberal" way. Identifying strongly as a right winger and detesting liberals and left wingers is one thing, but that whole set of beliefs seems like it belongs to someone whose train has run off the rails of reality.

Mooseontheloose posted:How many of those are considered red states or even purple states that elect conservative governors or have state legislatures that are split? You know, I was a bit curious myself, so I compiled it all together at the state level. I determined the color by some bullshit formula I made up. 1/3*(2008 Presidential Vote) + 1/3*(Senators) + 1/3*(Representatives) States ranked by % Below Poverty Line States ranked by Federal Spending / Taxes Paid Scatter plot of these two things Scatter plot with trendline and removed DC outlier Note that wicked strong R^2 Conclusions: 10/15 of the states with the most in poverty are "red" 6/15 of the states with the highest fed spending/taxed ratio are "red" There is a weak correlation between poverty level and fed spending/amount taxed "It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still POOR" is wrongwrongwrong Sending this to my uncle would have absolutely no effect

One from last year making the rounds again as May approachesquote:President Obama has decided that there will no longer be a "National Day of Prayer" held in May. He doesn't want to offend anyone. Where was his concern about offending Christians last January when he allowed the Muslims to hold a day of prayer on the capitol grounds. As an American Christian "I am offended." if you agree, copy and paste no matter what religion you are. This country was built on freedom!!
