Another one of "those" emails. Anyone seen this one?

Subject: : I'm voting for this guy

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENTAL CANDIDATE, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.


Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , S pain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home . On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , Germany , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, me z amies.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2 its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tank s and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired o f the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only ear ned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America .. Thank you and good night.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

(Please forward this to at least ten friends and see what happens! Let's get this to every USA computer!)

:wtf:

1. u can reply with this one

2. "please forward this to ten friends..."

They won't be my friends after that bullshit...

[Nay]

3. What's hilarious about these emails is what it tells us about the

idiots that write them. For example:

"...foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS."

The writer thinks the US sends foreign aid just out of the kindness of its heart...they have no idea that "aid" is the way the big govt and big corps steal and control the rest of the world! Also, just in this one sentence, the writer also believes that this govt WANTS SS to be funded, and its just all the foreign aid preventing it...how do you tell these idiots that there's a concerted effort by their pub masters to drown SS in the bathtub, so that writers like this idiot can continue to work til he dies?

And we wonder why the ppl in charge think we're morons...

[Nitrogenica]

4. They have too much confidence in their bullshit. Turns off more people than buy into it.

[Firespirit]

5. WTF is right...

I'm trying to figure out the ideology on that one.

TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!, anti-environment, hardcore John Birch style isolationist, and Europe bashing, but also anti-NAFTA, pro-SS, and concern about poverty.

It may be a total waste of time, but this person sounds possibly reachable if they care about poverty and labor. They have a very xenophobic attitude and blame "other people" for the problems we face, but maybe that could be worked on with a bit of educating.

Maybe.

:shrug:

6. That's what really threw me about it too.

It's all over the map!

Crazy shit.

Ironically, it came from my sister who is a huge fan of John Edwards. :silly:

7. I saw that

about five years ago

[booley]

8. Why can't cons make a non-ignorant argument?

I mean really! Lets start with basic math.

"...foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS."

How is less then one percent of the federal budget going to pay for a war that cost several times that?

And this isn't even getting into the ignorance of history or geopolitics or the gross bigotry of the post. Did the writer even know that Russia is NOT in NATO? Or much of our oil we get from Canada?

[uppityperson]

9. To pick 1 "Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France "

Ever heard of HIV? Guess who was the first to figure out what it was? (yes, I am one of those that give credit to France, though shortly afterwards someone in USA got it also)

Better yet "please take me off your mailing list", delete.

[Nay]

10. Or "Medecins Sans Frontieres" - docs that respond to every

disaster? Even NOLA, when Bush couldn't be bothered?

[uppityperson]

11. Took a while but I finally worked out a deal with MSR

I send them money and they don't send me flyers, etc, asking for more money. It took a couple phone calls but they finally got me on their do not contact list, even though I donate. "use the money where it is needed, not to ask me for more".

I really like MSR
