Holy shit! Maybe Republicans are finally getting a clue!


A Republican friend sent me this, which she said came from facebook ....


I feel the need to drop a little truth on y'all. So buckle up...I'm about to be politically incorrect.

We don't need to take America back. No one stole it. It's right here...you're sitting in it. Chillax.

Mexico isn't going to pay for the wall and we're not going to deport millions of people and break up families. If you think either one is a good idea, you're not smart and probably not a person I want to hang out with.

We don't live in a democracy. Technically we are a Federal Republic. But in reality we are ruled by an oligarchy. If you don't know what that is, look it up. Reading will do you good. You probably need to do more of it.

FoxNews, CNN, and MSNBC have an agenda and are not "fair and balanced" or in any way unbiased. I'll reiterate...read more. Read newspapers (even online ones). Read lots of opinions and sources and then (stay with me here), THINK! Form your own opinion based on as many facts as your can brain can tolerate.

Speaking of facts...there actually is a difference between facts, opinions, and propaganda. You should learn the difference. (Another opportunity to show off your mad reading skills.)

Science is real. We know things because of science. Don't be afraid of it. You have an iPhone and Facebook because of science. It's your friend.

Global warming or "climate change" as the cool kids call it IS REAL. Anyone who tells you it's not real is not a smart person and probably should not be dressing themselves or caring for children.

Racism exists. And you are probably a little racist and should work on that. Seriously.

American Christians are not under attack. We are not being persecuted. We wield so much power in this country that politicians pretend to be Christian just so we will vote for them. No one is trying to take your bible away from you. The gay people are not destroying our families—we don't need any help from them, thank you. We do a fine job of that by ourselves. So stop saying we are persecuted. You sound stupid.

Poor people need help. If you're not helping them but complaining about how the government helps them with your money you are not a nice person.

Be nice to the people who teach your children. Don't send them nasty emails or yell at them. Their job is 10,000 times harder than your stupid job. You are not a professional educator so just shut your mouth and be thankful someone is willing to teach your offspring.

You don't know what Common Core is. You think you do, but you don't unless you're a teacher. So stop complaining about math problem memes on Facebook. You can't do the math anyway.

ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States. We do not need to rebuild our military. Our military is the strongest, scariest, most badass killing machine the world has ever seen. So stop being afraid and stop letting politicians and pundits scare you.

Guns do in fact kill people. That's what they are designed to do. If you feel you need a gun to protect yourself in America, you are probably living in the wrong neighborhood and should move before you go out and buy a gun. There are like a billion places to live where you won't need a gun, or even need to lock your front door.

If you do own a gun, then make sure you know how to use it really, really, really well. Seriously...get some training because you still don't know how to record stuff with your DVR. Go to the gun range and shoot the thing a lot. Learn how to clean it properly and be able to disassemble it and reassemble it with your eyes closed. It's a freaking gun and it deserves that level of care, proficiency and respect. And for God's sake, keep it locked up and away from your kids.

If you are even a little bit crazy, sad, or pissed off...you shouldn't have a gun. And the Founding Fathers would totally agree with me.

Stop being suspicious of American Muslims. I guarantee the guy sitting next to you in the cubicle at work is probably more of a threat to you than any Muslim. He has to listen to your uninformed ranting day after day and has probably already imagined very colorful and creative ways to end you.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and all the rest are ENTERTAINERS! Stop getting your opinions from them. (Here's where that reading thing can really be an advantage.)

Stop sharing Facebook memes that tell me to share or else Jesus won't bless me with a laundry basket full of cash. That's not how prayer works. And I don't want money delivered (even from God) in a laundry basket. Nobody ever washes those things out and they just keep putting nasty dirty clothes in them. Yuck!

We are the United States of America and we can afford to house every homeless veteran, feed every child, and take in every refugee and still have money left over for Starbucks and a bucket of KFC.

Unless you can trace your family line back to someone who made deerskin pants look stylish and could field dress a buffalo, you are a descendent of an immigrant. Please stop saying that immigrants are ruining our country. Such comments are like a giant verbal burrito stuffed with historical ignorance, latent racism, and xenophobia all wrapped in a fascist tortilla.

That's all for now. I feel better.

Holy shit i think you made this up!

And then everything that followed was the exact opposite of politically incorrect.

 Oh man, these people are so damned stupid Im starting to have trouble even thinking of them as human. The GOP as it has stood for almost 8 years now has given these mutts almost everything their evil hearts have desired and they still treat them as the enemy.

[USA4ME]

I listen to political advice from idiots who hold up green signs.

And then everything that followed was the exact opposite of politically incorrect.

And lies except for this one nugget of truth:

If you do own a gun, then make sure you know how to use it really, really, really well.

Otherwise this is the most ****ed up republican I have ever met or heard of.

That bouncy was painful to read.

Zero bongs.

Surprise! Surprise! It's some whack-nut blogger who thinks he's smart, and he's not.

I have never said that legal immigrants are ruining our country. However, I have said that illegal aliens are doing serious harm to our country....

what a stupid, condescending , politically correct rant

Yeah, had to look up this LaMonte  person on FB:

https://www.facebook.com/lamontemfowler/

He's got an anti-Trump image that quotes Sean Penn, he is as radical and left-wing as Dannyboy is.

[ExGeeEye]

We're not a nation of immigrants, really.  We're a nation of conquerors and colonists. 

Immigrants came later.  The first few million stood on the shoulders of the conqueror-colonists and reached higher.  In these latter years, immigrants (mostly the illegal ones) seem content to get on the shoulders of the (now-)natives...and sit and whine about the meanies who are holding them up.

Time to shrug...

I say this as a descendant of immigrants, the earliest known of whom landed in the existing colony of New York (conquered and colonized by the Dutch, then conquered by the British), immediately set about farming, and became progenitor of others who fought for independence, international recognition, and freedom inside and outside the US (War of Independence, 1812, Civil War, WW2, Persian Gulf I) while pursuing peacetime occupations of farming, construction, manufacturing and business.

I have never said that legal immigrants are ruining our country. However, I have said that illegal aliens are doing serious harm to our country....

It's just another misrepresentation by the left, like when they suggest that gun owners are fascists or people who want to reduce the role of government want anarchy.

The whole thing is just thinly-veiled talking points. If the person circulating this were really a republican, he would know that republicans would shoot down the anti-immigrant BS right away.

You READ it?  I didn't make it past "break up families" (any Conservative and most Republicans know families are allowed to go with the illegal alien being deported).

This is -1 bongs.  I GET the DUmmie's bong.

Read some of the comments.   They are as out there as that nut job.

One in particular stood out to me:

Very well said! Most of them are correct. However, a critical thinking will reveal theses:

“Science is real. We know things because of science. Don’t be afraid of it. You have an iPhone and Facebook because of science.”

iPhone and Facebook are part of engineering. There is a heaven and hell difference between science and engineering. Math and physics are all wrong. Here is one example to illustrate the point: Newton’s first law – an object will continue in motion in a straight line with a constant velocity. Have you ever seen such an object on earth or in space? No, never. Newton assumed isolated environment, which is impossible in nature and engineering. For more examples check out the free book https://theoryofsouls.wordpress.com/

“Poor people need help. If you’re not helping them but complaining about how the government helps them with your money you are not a nice person.”

Poor is created by the rich. You cannot become rich without making me poor. There is no win-win situation. Win-win violates the laws of nature. It is always win-lose. In every win-win case, if you look carefully, you will always find a third part who will be the loser. Our economy is like a bar magnet. The strength of the north pole (richness) is same as the strength of the south pole (poverty). Unless you remove money, poverty cannot be eliminated. Create money-less (MLE) economy. Take a look at the MLE chapter in the above book.

Seems whack-a-doos attract whack-a-doos.   There is a whole lot of there.

Yeah, made the same mistake.  I really liked the "Math is wrong" comment.
