No, she really is a nice person and we get along well. No trouble now, none expected ahead either.
As much as you have apprehension about the race situation, I fear the the insidious creeping inflow of Muslims into this Nation and It’s government with their Koran, burkas or not. Read today where the UofCalifornia has added a Muslim lady to the Board of Regents. No fear of Sharia law hear even though the Muslim has been outspoken about the rights of Muslims. I recommend that if California can flaunt Muslim activists in the university system that donations from alumni who believe otherwise should be stopped. Count me in.
Then you might say something like "That text you sent me turns out to be one of those Internet urban legends. Here's a link to Snopes.com that says it is not true: http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/koch.asp."
Plus maybe something about how easy it is to be fooled by "Internet facts". She will probably be embarrassed that she sent the text to you.
I really do have a feeling that we are witnessing what the Lord meant when he said a lot of people would be “deceived.” He is even going to send a strong delusion to deceive everyone except the elect I beleive. I’m seeing what I think is the beginning of this. No other way to explain it really.
I don’t know, I can explain it pretty readily with “people are stupid.” (And they always have been.)
>> “she didn’t know that”
A “low information voter” as the saying goes...
Context and perception are everything — something Hitler and Goebbels understood quite well.
You want to cool it a bit.
Low information voter brought on by SRM dereliction of duty. It was the only way 0 bummer got elected.
Re: Gotcha by 10 seconds...
That’s because there is somehing wrong with my stupid computer and it keeps kicking me off line! Grrrrrr.
By golly, Zimmerman has just as much a right to wear a short-sleeved shirt as anyone! Would they take THAT away from him, too? :-)
That is exactly what I did do. I texted her the URL of the Snopes page which debunked the Koch stuff. Haven’t heard anything from her since. I’m thinking she is too embarrassed to text me back, since the Snopes webpage (which is run by LIBERALS) clearly said the rumor is FALSE.
Sounds like NSA's messin' with your modum.....
Probably.
A friend once regularly sent me lists of what I call "Amazing Internet Facts." One list was full of particularly obvious falsehoods, so I took the time to research and debunk all ten items on the list. I showed him that not one of the "facts" was factual.
He still sends me emails, but that was the last such list.
