1. Ha ha ha
I thought this was going to be about a Beck-type freeper--by using Ghostbusters the authors of the video have shown a much more polished response. Glad to see the general is doing what will win hearts and minds.

3. The existing problem is that today's republicans truly are, without a scintilla of doubt,

5. People who read or seek info are less likely to believe what they are told vs
being told what to believe.
