Obama is going to sign away the US and everything from our shoes to our sovereignty at the Copenhagen climate whatever even though he is probably not going.

Helpz! Helpz! Armz yourselfs wit teh teabagz! Lordz Monkeyton haz decreed it. We alwayz listen to teh British.

Gah! I told him Bollocks! Was he running off to join the Tories lead by Lord Monckton and become a monarchist? Wouldn't that be strange for a teabagger? Gah!

4. This is what I actually sent my cousin when I got down to it:
If I was beside you I would slap you because you are hysterical. Get a grip on something, and I hope it will be reality.

President Obama isn't even going to Copenhagen to sign anything. He has also made an entirely different framework than the one proposed at Copenhagen.

I read the treaty. My answer to our being coerced to signing away anything is Bollocks! That is such a stretch in interpreting a clause here and there, that it becomes an entirely different document.

I can only assume that you have worked yourself into a lather over the election and every minute move supposedly made. You are going to wear yourself out, and give yourself a heart attack.

I may be politically on the other end of the spectrum, but I don't intend to give anybody a blank check. I don't trust the government now any more than I did under GWB. I make up my own mind from a variety of sources, and don't screech at every shadow.

BTW I didn't like GWB worth a damn, but I worked through the process and VOTED. I didn't arm myself to the teeth and threaten to revolt. GWB was my president, but I worked through the constitutional process to try another way.

People have used every idea under the sun to oppose the results of the election. This country has withstood a lot, and the processes set up by the Founding Fathers have worked and gotten this country through very hard times.

I have more trust in following that process than I do in a bunch of hooligans with no better idea than a half-assed rebellion that would leave everything destroyed and under somebody's gun. It wouldn't necessarily be the government's. I have no desire to be under theirs or ANYONE ElSES.

5. I was in a convenience store in
Marianna FL and was talking to the clerk while my other was fueling our vehicle. She told me she had to go to the bathroom, so I told her I would "hold down the fort" while she was away. I was looking at the prices of a single pack of cigarettes and mentioned when she returned about how expensive they were. They are in excess of $5.00 a pack!

She responded that "Yeah, THEY say Obama is trying to raise the taxes on them". I guess I had had all the "they say" I could stand, because I told her it was total bullshit. I also told her the President was not trying to take away her guns. I told her I was so tired of ill informed people repeating what they heard from this Church member or that friend. I told her she needed to stop watching Fox propaganda and become informed. I usually keep my tongue, but she sent me over the edge with that one. In the end she agreed that much she hears proves to be untrue.

We have a huge hill to climb on the south.

7. Yeah, that's been making the rounds. This one has the added benefit of a British accent.
Extra authority in that.
