Another stupid question on Askville
Oct. 21st, 2008 10:25 amWhat IS it lately? Oh yeah, right. The election.
Some moron asked "Do you want America's next president to have attended flag burning ceremonies, to redesign our flag, and anthem?"
The details of the question included a bunch of ridiculously obvious lies about Obama proudly proclaiming on "Meet the Press" that he and Michelle have attended lots of flag-burning ceremonies.
The stupid hurts. So once again I was forced to drag my tired ass out to defend a candidate that I don't respect or support:
The "limes" thing is a meme that people have been using lately on Askville to mock political questions - or at least, the recent spate of over-the-top "push-poll" type political questions that Republicans have been posting in the last few weeks.

No, I'd rather our next President torture people, spy on Americans (including personal calls made by our soldiers to their families), allow his cronies on Wall Street to run amok without regulation thereby crashing the stock market and the financial sector, abolish the centuries-old right of habeas corpus, and set up secret prisons where people - many of whom are innocent, and some of whom are teenagers - can be sent without trial to rot forever. All while running up a national debt so big that the Chinese will OWN us, and even our great-grandchildren will still be paying it off.
Oh, and please have him ignore the climate crisis too (although you probably think that it's a hoax, don't you?).
That sort of President would be SO MUCH BETTER than one who has had some obvious lies written about him by right-wing nutjobs. Thanks for opening my eyes!
