There is an epidemic taking hold in America that appears immune to intervention or therapy, and despite the best effort of the nation’s brightest minds to find a cure, it seems likely to remain virulent, but limited to a particular segment of the population for the foreseeable future. The disease’s symptoms are beliefs with the strong conviction despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and unlike beliefs based on confabulation, faulty or incomplete information, there are no known remedies for delusion. Unlike most severe mental disorders, this epidemic has a traceable beginning and a very predictable demise, but that is little comfort as it is just now reaching peak efficacy.
The current outrage and unfathomably ignorant claims from gun-fanatics that President Obama is sending federal forces to confiscate their precious firearms is a microcosm of the past four years of teabagger claims their liberties and freedoms are being trampled asunder. The fallacious claims go hand-in-hand with equally bogus charges the President is rending the Constitution apart in typical Fascist tyranny that leaves white, well-armed patriots little choice but to prepare for armed conflict to “reinstitute the basic tenets of the Constitution.” One might think the gun fanatics’ deluded claims the President is a dictator is the result of four years of tyranny, but the delusion began shortly after Obama’s inauguration and before the earliest stages of the healthcare reform debate. What is telling is that claims of tyranny, unconstitutional power grabs, and loss of liberty are the product of delusional thinking in that not one teabagger, gun fanatic, or real American can cite one instance of tyranny, loss of freedom, or unconstitutionality in any of the President’s actions. The overblown gun-control controversy is a perfect example of sheer delusion without a shred of proof the President is overstepping his Constitutional authority...

When the time comes, and it is indeed coming soon, guns will once again be the first symptom of FREEDOM.

Yo Bro, thank you for your service, I was just a few months from being drafted during the war. I had friends who didn’t make it home and some who came back broken. I am thinking we are all going to have to stand up to the turds and take our country back. I pray that when it hits the fan guys like you will stand tall again and I will be there to help. It is so bad I think this line is appropriate “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”!
I’m not an addict, I can stop anytime I want.
Great satire has a smidgen of truth. That was ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC!
aside from the Natural Born hilarity, that reads pretty much like the Editorial Staffs Opinion page in our local rag
Wow! Major idiot alert!
They are the most worthless things on Earth.
And they vote.
Must be from a website for delusional losers.
I’ve been laughing at it all day. I don’t know if its real or somebody writing a satirical letter to a newspaper but it shore is funny.
I live just down the road from Ann Arbor and I see too many real comments on that scale of stupid.
It takes real effort to reach this level of ignorance.
It is just hilarious!
I have never head of this website. Another leftist cesspool.
So, we’re functionally illiterate, while you are intellectually shallower than a dry riverbed with full consciousness that is of a mind vacuous of reason on a par with adult onset Alzheimers.
FO and die you putrid, Puss-O-Matic.

-The health care contraception mandate - tyranny, loss of liberty and soon to be held unconstitutional?
-Recess appointments to NLRB - held unconstitutional
-obamacare - loss of liberty and tyranny since most people didn’t want it (and unconstitutional despite what Roberts held)
-Ignoring Court orders on the Gulf drilling moratorium - tyranny
-every proposed limit on the right to bear arms - tyranny and unconstitutional
-Strong arming banks to cut off the financing to gun manufacturers unless they support obama’s anti-2nd amendment agenda - tyranny
-Supporting illegal immigrants over sovereign state legislation on illegal immigration - tyranny
Feel free to add to the list.
Very true!
The disease’s symptoms are beliefs with the strong conviction despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and unlike beliefs based on confabulation, faulty or incomplete information, there are no known remedies for delusion. Unlike most severe mental disorders, this epidemic has a traceable beginning and a very predictable demise, but that is little comfort as it is just now reaching peak efficacy.
I couldn't agree more! This guy's sharp; he's gonna go far! Wait, what? He's talking about conservatives????? Never mind, as you were....
And they're not real picky who they turn into one.
