What I heard at a class reunion last weekend.
Little old lady, age 68. This was a 50th HS reunion.

"Well, I got down there to vote, and voted, and then, I don't know what happened, they took me to the hospital and I was in a coma, and then two weeks later, I found out Obama won the election, and I was so nervous and upset about that that I broke out in shingles, and I wanted to go shoot him myself."


:wtf:

She got off the subject, and I wanted to ask her what Obama had done to her personally.

And in the little town I live in DH heard some guy say "Yeah, I think Timmy McVeigh did the right thing...but he shoulda bombed the White House. There's gonna be more of that stuff goin' on."


:wtf:

Just wonderful being surrounded by wanna be terrorists. :sarcasm:

1. I guess she was worried that Obama himself would go to her hospital bed
and unplug her life support.

7. You graduated from Dr. Goebbels High School and Indoctrination Center?
You must have been the worst student there.

So, I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised.

11. Which I guess we'd both have to agree is even less surprising

Oklahoma's legislature and some of its residents have been known Texas quite rational in comparison.

12. We have fierce competitions in "idiot politicians" in several states.
Including Texas, Oklahoma, and what I call the "Third World/Third Coast" which goes from TX to FL.

The state motto of Texas should be "Thank God for Mississippi! We're only 49th in everything!".

14. I have ceased to be amazed at the stupidity of some people...
For one thing, and this is the most obvious, did she ask her attending physician what happened that put her in a "coma"? I'd be much more worried about what happened to me medically than who won an election if I "woke up" 2 weeks later...:eyes:

As for the other guy, I am predisposed to think of this one who is the standard coward, terrified that "people in turbans and ski masks", are going to single him out for a "jihad" style attack. A few years back, here in Nebraska, some moron in tractor with a rifle shot at at a plastic bag in a corn field, from his tractor! The round went across the road, striking a car, so the State Police were called in to investigate. The guy was charged with willful neglect in the use of a firearm, endangering a motorist, and terroristic threat. He paid a $950 fine + court costs, (terroristic threat charge was dropped). He told the judge he thought "Arabs had landed the night before".

Fortunately, the crazies are a minority, but the few that are out there are stupid enough to be dangerous to the rest of us.

16. They are every where around here.
The local rag has editorial headlines on the front page screaming AMERICA IS A CHRISTIAN NATION.

I mailed them a copy of the Treaty of Tripoli with the first sentence of Article 11 highlighted, hoping they would read it and their heads might explode. However, that is assuming that they can read, and that is dubious.


I shit you not.


This is why all my friends are Black.


The county went 2 to 1 for Grandpa McCain and Churchy Spice.

17.  I know..as much as I hated how bushcheney got in
and preceded to take our country down..I never even thought about their demise.

The enemies who hate the President are more like badges of honor than anything.

18. Sick! To wish death on someone because you don't like their politics.
