Pol. thread - what a garbage fwd. i got

[Flasch186]

Keep in mind this came from someone who is entrenched in a very very strict religious right church but nevertheless, its filled with insinuation, misleads, leave outs and just thought it screamed of ignorance. I blasted it back at them with links that either added information to some (since not all are false) but also disproved a bunch, like "no mass graves found in Serbia"? AHEM!!!!! and it conveniently left out their taxable income whic bush had about 75% more, and just a bunch of stuff like that....

anyways

I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my
head

saying

You should blast them. It's amazing to me that some people are really that stupid. We had a discussion about this on Gone Gold the other day:
