The ultimate answer for RW spam / chain emails

Send this one back at them. Btw, this has met all of the fact checking requirements for such emails:

<b>Ronald Reagan's warning to George W! </B>

David Schrier, the former personal diarist of late Ronald Reagan, related this story to a close friend. His friend couldn't keep this a secret:

When Ronnie was in the last throughs of Alzheimers, he still had some very lucid moments. His legendary recall of names, facts and places came back to him, albeit in fleeting moments. One night in Santa Barbara he called out to David at 3am. He told David to "get that Bush kid on the phone" (that was his name for George W. Bush).

David told him that it was the middle of the night. Couldn't it wait? But Ronnie insisted. So David got patched through to the western white house in Texas. David, wanted to know what was so important that it couldn't wait until morning and he also had come to recognize the moments when Ronnie was 'his old self.' He listened as the two leaders talked. This is what he heard:

"Whatever you do, don't occupy Iraq! You will regret it if you do. No country in history has been able to occupy and hold a foreign nation without bringing about it's own demise. We knew this when we got the soviets to invade Afghanistan. We knew that if we kept them there long enough, the Soviet Union would go bankrupt. And it worked. Don't fall into the same trap! The fate of this great nation is at stake. Don't occupy Iraq!"

The call ended. But David was forever struck by what he had heard. Years later he found he could not keep this to himself. If Ronnie was to give this nation one final gift, this would be it. So David wrote this story and began to send it to everyone who would listen.

You can help this country benefit from the last nugget of Ronald Reagan's wisdom. Forward this email to at least 6 people in the next 20 minutes. Do it now. Make a wish and say "Saint Teresa" Spin around 5 times in a circle and then press "Send." You're wish will come true within 10 days.

3. What fact checking?

Btw, this has met all of the fact checking requirements for such emails...."

I can't find any source or verification for this story.

5. So I can assume the inverse is true?

You couldn't find anything to debunk it either? Must be true then!

Sounds like the perfect letter to send to a freeper and or * lover. Saint Ronnie(automatic head bowing gesture) scolded God's chosen Earthly representative(similar head bowing gesture), what to do?

Point taken.

8. I checked your profile. I see your problem now.

I can see from your comment section you are a deep thinker. I did enjoy your comments by the way.

Well anyway I don't think the OP went over your head, but it may have slipped under your feet.

LOL Have a nice evening.

10. Thank you.

I considered the possibility that the OP was posting "tongue firmly in cheek," but just couldn't be sure. LOL

You have a nice evening, too!

:hi:

[KurtNYC]

11. Yes - tongue could not be further into cheek

"all fact checking required for such emails" = zero fact checking. More like 'fact inventing.'

[silverweb]

12. Indeed.

When I saw your post #4 just a few minutes after my original response, that became clear.

Well done! :D

6. I 'almost' wish I hadn't spamblocked all those morons so long ago. almost

That's rich. I'm not sure the mouthbreathers would bite, but it could be a fun experiment.
