Ok, another crazy RW email sent to me,

From Conservative Republican news

For your enjoyment:

""Dear Conservative Republican News Reader,

Below is an important message from one of our friends in the conservative movement. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you.

Thank you,
Conservative Republican News

American Liberty PAC

Fellow Patriot,

Obama is arming himself to the teeth. Are you worried?

You should be.

Right now, over 40 federal agencies have ARMED divisions including the Social Security Administration and the Postal Service!

In one tiny Alaska town flak jacket-wearing, assault-rifle wielding shock troops from Obama's ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY swarmed a local mine in search of...

...violations of the Clean Water Act!

Please complete American Liberty PAC's vitally important, NATIONWIDE SURVEY ON OBAMA'S FEDERAL ARMS BUILDUP -- NOW!

My friends, I've never been more fearful for the cause of liberty than I am right now.

Right under our noses, Barack Obama has tooled up federal law enforcement to wartime levels:

He's armed his Executive Branch minions with billions of rounds of ammunition, hundreds of thousands of guns -- and even armor-plated combat vehicles to patrol American streets!

His Department of Homeland Security recently ordered 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammunition. That's FIVE bullets -- including internationally banned exploding hollow points-- for every single American citizen.

He's created SWAT teams right across the country in innocent sounding departments like Education, Parks, and the Bureau of Engraving -- teams he can deploy to subdue us whenever he wants!

He's even built a town in Virginia -- complete down to the last streetlamp -- where these forces can practice subduing citizens -- like us! -- in typical American locations.

I am not making a word of this up. It's all absolutely true.

That's why I must ask you to complete ALPAC's NATIONAL SURVEY ON OBAMA'S FEDERAL ARMS BUILDUP.

Obama is arming the Executive Branch organizations he controls for the sole purpose of crushing any resistance to his reign.

We must send an urgent message back to Washington.

We must especially reach Constitutional patriots in Congress and let them know that we need them to step up, do their duty and cut off every taxpayer dime going towards this unnecessary and dangerous arms buildup.

Naturally, the mainstream media are ignoring his actions. So, I'll share your outrage with all branches of the national news media: radio, cable, broadcast TV, newspapers and the internet -- as well as the power brokers within both parties, the U.S. Congress, key American Liberty PAC allies, -- even the Obama Administration.

Let's fix this once and for all. Right now! It has never been so important that the voice of real Americans be heard.

Please, take a moment right now to complete NATIONAL SURVEY ON OBAMA'S FEDERAL ARMS BUILDUP.

Thank you for your support. And God Bless America.

Sincerely,

Kelly McCarthy
Executive Director, American Liberty PAC



P.S. Obama has exploded the size of the Executive Branch, he's awarded himself powers even 3rd World dictators envy and now he's amassing a massive arms cache to enforce his executive rule. Please, complete your NATIONAL SURVEY ON OBAMA'S FEDERAL ARMS BUILDUP immediately. There is no time to lose.



NATIONAL SURVEY ON OBAMA'S FEDERAL ARMS BUILDUP

Your individual SURVEY will be kept CONFIDENTIAL. Thank you for your participation""

They keep asking for me to take their "survey".

Just a few months left and "he's comin' to git ur guns"

But a long time rw friend used to send me the same thing. I didn't respond back all the time but probably over half of them I did. Some of them are too long to go through all the fake stuff. So on those I'd pick a few points and hit them asking if he understood how easy it was to figure out he was believing in and pushing lies. One of the emails had something about armored hummers being sent to Universities. Checked on that. It was for them to look at improving the armor so our soldiers weren't being killed by ied's. I asked him if he really wanted out military heroes to die.

I think he sent me that stupid birther letter about 5 times with slight modifications in it as it morph'ed. It took all 5 times telling him John Wayne's daughter has said she didn't write or have anything to do with it. And it isn't a way to honor someone using his name to spread lies. But I'll probably still get the same stupid email next year.

He was my best man in 1969.
We flew together in the air guard and at TWA and NCA.
It wasn't until he came to live a few blocks away (at my urging) that I learned that he really isn't real bright.
Not when it comes to politics, anyway.

He bought ? cases with 5,000 brass cases for reloading. He's really a good guy and I know him enough that he doesn't get ticked off so not worried about him doing anything. Doesn't do those stupid open carry protests etc. Really he doesn't agree with the open carry law here in Texas. He was a union hand and I keep asking him why he votes repub. Since they say he was the problem with America. Did he really think he was evil like the repub's keep pushing? Not a bright one either.

This guy has a degree in electrical engineering, so he's not stupid.
He was a captain for many years with TWA and then NCA (Nippon Cargo).
FAA rated instructor pilot, check pilot, and test pilot.
But just fucking...'gullible'...? when it comes to politics and Obama.
I think he's really a racist but won't admit it.
He claims not to be a repug.
"I just vote for the person."

He's 76 and born and raised in Tuscaloosa, so that might tell you something.
But hell, I'm 75 and was born and raised in Birmingham and I managed to evolve.
WTF indeed.

This nonsense went on and on about coddling the felons, etc. It took 2 minutes to look it up and see that it was a prison built in Austria, indeed based on the idea of humane treatment of ... nonviolent criminals. Sent this info back to him, never got another email. Oh well, love my uncle, but with him it's like the documentary about how Fox news changed her father.
