Wanna Read Something Frightening/Hilarious?
Found this as one of my friends' status messages on Facebook.
"Taken from the 'Being Conservative' fan page....."Today would have been President Reagan's 99th birthday. We've always missed him, but his current stand-in makes us miss him now more than ever. Let's hope and pray the 2010 elections bring us closer to his political philosophy. We should thank God we're Americans, not apologize to the world because we are. Happy birthday President Reagan."
I can't even BEGIN to make the list of all the things that are wrong with that paragraph.

1. Who the hell is apologizing for being an American?
I can't think of anyone. 
I'll give you a hint his name is Barry.

12. Here's What I Wrote In Response To That
"My last post may have come off more confrontational than I wanted it to, but I have this odd compulsion to counter myths with truth. I figured people would prefer to know the truth rather than deify a myth, but I guess I was wrong. And since when is stating a fact "disrespect"? He's the one who did those awful things. I just pointed them out."
Oh, by the way, I didn't just post that link. I also posted a one-paragraph summary of the things Reagan did as President (expanded the size of the government, raised taxes, increased the deficit, supported amnesty for illegal immigrants, was pro-gay rights, pro-gun control, and pro-labor unions, ignored his military advisers, committed acts of treasons and violations of international law, etc.) This, apparently, was the "disrespect" I showed the God of Republicans. I DID end my post with the phrase, "THIS is the best president the Republicans can come up with? How embarrassing." Maybe THAT was the "disrespect." Beats me.
Hmmm most of the things on that list are out of your playbook.

Sounds like the democrat platform.
