Friends, I'd like to speak with you for a moment about a terrible disease that is reaching epidemic proportions in our nation. Politically Induced Mental Derangement (PIMD) is currently addling the brains of millions of our fellow Americans. Odds are you know someone suffering from PIMD. It could be a friend or a loved one, or even just that crazy guy down the street. The ugly truth is PIMD is ruining the United States.
Do you know someone who insists that the economy is worse today than when President Obama took office 12 years ago or that still believes he is an anti-American out to destroy our country? Have you encountered someone who believes it's O.K. for Donald Trump to mock a disabled person or to attack the parents of a fallen U.S. soldier because they are Muslims? Have you overhead somebody claiming the Hillary Clinton is responsible for the attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi? Have you been bombarded with venomous e-mails or Facebook posts with wild conspiracy theories from an acquaintance? Do you know someone who thinks it's ok for the police to shoot unarmed citizens or who believes climate change science is a vast global conspiracy? If somebody you know is showing one or more of these symptoms, they are probably suffering from PIMD.
Sadly, there currently is no cure for PIMD, but for $18.00 a month, that's less than 60 cents a day, you can help fund research that can cure this terrible disease. Now you can choose to avoid somebody suffering from PIMD but the ugly truth is that sooner or later they will find you, or possibly get their own talk show on Fox News. PIMD cannot be ignored. Won't you please help? The future of our nation depends on it.
Won't you help someone who believes this is a demonstration of true leadership?
Really true!

5. Think Sadaam Hussein attacked the U.S. on 9/11?
6. Believes President Obama hates police and white people?
7. Suspect the Sikh guy at the gas station is plotting a terrorist attack?
8. Yells "Speak American!" at the ATM?
