Great to have you join us! It's really ridiculous. And saddest and most discouraging of all - THESE are the people who will make damn sure to get to the polls and vote. I wish more of us voted - to cancel them out. It just grates on me to think - OUR side, that isn't infected and rendered mentally impaired by watching Pox Noise, those of us among liberals who keep ourselves well-informed, believe in and value science, and appreciate the much-needed separation of church and state, OURS are the ones who are more likely to stay home.
And now that I've written that and really looked at it, I must admit that sadly it does make me start wondering - "well, then, exactly WHO are the stupid ones?"

Agreed. My mom's friend sent these obnoxious emails around, and forwarded chains of others.

How will the 'South rise again' if you are too fucking stupid to know which direction is south?
