For the life of me, I will never understand the LYING soapbox of spite...

Honestly. My eyes were just VIOLENTLY assaulted with this bullshit:

"Gov't has become entirely too big. More and more of our money is being demanded of us everyday to support this huge gov't we have. Through higher taxation, new things to tax, etc., they are taking in excess of 50% of your and my income. Every daily transaction has been taxed somewhere along the lines. And according to economic predictions from the CBO (Congressional Budget Office), the deficits are only going to get bigger and bigger as the years progress. So you know who is going to have the suffer the yoke of this huge gov't we have? - Our children. (We are only paying a fraction of what they'll pay.) They are going to be the ultimate burden bearers of this debt hungry monstrosity we call government. I alone can do nothing in protest of this unnecessarily big gov't we have. But in unity and strength change will manifest itself. Read. Educate yourself. Learn the lessons History gives us when gov't becomes too big...and most importantly...tell others. I know my child's future will be better off with a smaller gov't...I hope you reach the same conclusion."


Debt hungry monstrosity? Jesus H. Fucking Christ on a cracker, these people will just pull cray cray from out of thin air and get pissed about it. It's unbelievable. (I am not seeking help this time...even I recognize TOO far gone when I see it)

They make up a ton of nonsense and then provide no links to sources. I find arguing the facts with them rarely works, so I try to goad them into taking crazier and crazier positions that are natural extensions of the insane items they pass around.
