More modern way of living (UNREAL!)
Carteret County, NC News-Times ^ | Jan 29, 2013 | LOW INFORMATION VOTER

Posted on 02/09/2013 5:42:42 AM PST by dontreadthis

(Editor's note: The following Letter to the Editor, published in the Jan. 23 edition, has gone viral on the Web after a reader linked it to a Fox News Facebook page. It had received more than 4,000 comments and been shared more than 12,000 times by Tuesday morning.)

Beaufort, N.C. Jan. 17, 2013 TO THE EDITOR: Republicans and “so-called” conservatives are at it again. They are claiming that the Constitution gives people the right to have guns without the permission of the government. If that were true, then how could New York and Chicago have laws against it? We Democrats are sick and tired of Republicans constantly using the Constitution to cover up their true plans, which are to make us all afraid of everyone else. Our great president came from a civilized part of the country where there is strict gun control, and he is only trying to bring the benefits of that more modern way of living to the rest of us. I don’t know the exact statistics, but I’m quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it comes to gun violence. But do Republicans and conservatives listen to the voice of reason? No, of course not. All they want to do is whine and complain about how gun control and wealth redistribution violate the Constitution, as if the Constitution were all that great, anyway. There are a lot of things that need to be changed about the Constitution, I’d say, and President Obama needs to change it. The Republicans are just trying to stand in the way, because the president is black. They even dared to question whether he was born in this country. I think all this demonstrates that the Constitution needs to be amended when it comes to the qualifications for being president. Right now, it says that a person has to be 35 years old and be a natural born citizen. Well, that is obviously unfair because there are a great many otherwise qualified people who cannot run for president because their mothers had to have a C-section. But because the Constitution was written a hundred years ago, nobody even thought of the discrimination that would result from a doctor having to deliver a baby in this unnatural way. Now that we Democrats are in control of the government, that’s just one more thing we should change in our drive to make life fair. Please withhold my name because I don’t want to get crank calls.

LOL! This just has to be satire. Not even the low-information voters could be this confused. (I know, I’m giving them a HUGE benefit of the doubt, but still.)

Because there is nothing below single-cell organisms.

The original letter reads like the comments on the local paper’s forum from what I call “the usual suspects”. These are the commenters that show up daily to provide their anti-God, anti-gun, anti-Republican, anti-freedom, etc. responses to various articles or letters to the editor. I jump in to give responses that balance the scales somewhat but it just gets tiresome. I’m constantly amazed at the number of lib-progs in northeast OK.

A hint for the genius: The "C" in C-section stands for Caesarian. The procedure has been around for a very long time.

Wow. So much brain damage. Here’s my favorite part....

“but I’m quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it comes to gun violence.”

Whoo! The stupid is strong with this guy.

PPTTF...huh, this is tame compared to some of the ramblings over at DUmmieLand. Some over there don’t want to amend the constitution, the want to get rid of it all together and replace it with the communist manifesto.

I was wondering if they were allowed to roam freely, or are they restrained in some fashion?

What's the history of the newspaper? Some local papers are not radically leftist and will publish a genuine letter that makes a leftist Democrat look stupid, while the usual far leftist rags will edit it or suppress it altogether.

Still, I don't know of any print rag that would knowingly publish a letter satirizing Useful Idiot DemoRats.

"This absolutely has to be satire."

No, it's called the "final product" of the American educational system.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.
