Please tell me how to reply to the ultimate freeper

"This was posted on a country music board I go to, Im not an American, but I would like to reply
to this person, any thoughts, should I use humor? should i go aggressive? What should I write
to this....."


I do not know who wrote this, but it reflects my feeling about the election outcome.

Obituary: On November 6, 2012 the once great nation of the United States of America, was found robbed, brutally raped, and murdered. She was known as the Lady who could always be trusted to provide aid in a time of need. With open arms she provided food for the needy, shelter for the homeless, businesses for the jobless, and happiness to those who chose to pursue it. She was the queen of honesty, trustworthy and dependable, beloved of people world-wide. Her accused murderer is a well-known Muslim dictator posing as a Christian President. Even though she had been warned by her God fearing neighbors that he was an abomination and shouldn’t be trusted she ignored their warning. Thru lies and deceit he led her down a dark alley flooded on both sides. After starving her for four years, providing her only with food stamps and government jobs, he then began to brutally rape her. Her left arm of New Jersey and New York was left to fester in the devastation and ruin of Hurricane Sandy, while her right arm of California which was broken in bankruptcy and corruption was bound behind her back. Her abdomen was found filled with illegal aliens, terrorists, and drug dealers of multiple countries crawling through her intestines trying not to be exposed. He cut out her heart, made up of the Military and Ambassadors of good will, with lies, deceit, and dishonesty. It was found burned, murdered, torn apart, and thrown at the feet of Russia and Iran. He slowly choked the breath of entrepreneurship, small businesses, and jobs from her already dying body, with his socialism, taxes, and Obamacare. Her hair, once beautiful locks of golden churches, that taught goodness, morality, and was filled with God fearing Christians, was found frayed and tattered. Pulled out by the roots in immorality, abominations, and pooled in the blood of aborted children surrounding her head.
With his forked tongue of lying, cheating, deceiving, murdering deceit, racial accusations, and class warfare he proceeded to divide her in half. Her end was viewed by all of his cheering brothers of the Muslim world.

People on this board tell tales of discussing things with these types, but I often end up calling them STUPID! This does not help things, I know. Good luck with it, let us know how you handle it.

Since Obama took office:... The Dow has DOUBLED from 6500 to 13,000; .....GDP is Up 11% from -9% to 2%; ......28 months of Job GAINS after Bush LOSING 4 million jobs in 2008/ 800,000 jobs a month; .....record corporate profits 2010 -11.
Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive.




.....Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.”
― Thomas Jefferson
“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.”
― James Madison
“ As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,"- John Adams
".... no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." -Article 6 US Constitution
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government in a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
--Thomas Jefferson

from the legalized marijuana out in Colorado. When she finally came back down from her high, she found that the country was actually creating jobs and growing again after being chained in the rich man's dog pound for 8 years. Then, she rejoiced for what her country had overcome and for the right-wingers who could be heard for miles with their moaning and gnashing of teeth...
