"I am not": A freeper rants in my union newsletter

[BJ]

Anyway here's the kind of guys I used to work with, not all of them mind you, at the Post Office. In fact this guy was my T-6 (he carried my route on my day off) for a while. I suggest reading this aloud to get the full effect.

I AM NOT...

In last months (name of branch newsletter) there was a one page political slogan.* I want to respond to it with some reason why I am not voting for a certain Presidential Candidate.

• I am not like the French...One Presidential Candidate wants us to be more like the French. the French were involved in the corrupt "Oil for Food" scandal. You know, that was the program where certain countries were given free oil & money from Saddam Hussien(sic) in exchange for looking the other way while he tortured and murdered thousands of his own people. But the French went beyond that helping Iraq build "Dual-use" facilities and provided Iraq access to their uranium mines in Niger, Africa. Why would he want us to be like that?
• 
  I am not a terrorist...Like the Radical Islamic Fundamentalists seeking to destroy our way of life. One such organization supporting the terrorists is Al Jazeera which had a booth at a recent political party convention. The party leaders made them take down their banners so the rest of America would not be able to see them on TV, but they let Al Jazeera keep their booth. It is interesting to note that ten out of ten terrorists are hoping for one political candidate to win and the other one to loose(sic). Why do you suppose that is?
• 
  I am not a Marxist...Like the self avowed Marxist, Michael Moore. He make his millions attacking our leaders and our way of life by making movies filled with half-truths and outright lies. Why not tell the truth?
• 
  I am not a member of the Communist Party...Like John Soros. The Hungarian and self avowed Communist. He has poured $15 million dollars of his own money towards a certain Presidential Candidate. Here is an individual who hates our democratic way of life and wants it to fail because of what we did to bring about the end of Communist Russia and the "Cold War." I wonder what he has seen or what he knows about a certain political candidate that drives Mr. Soros to invest million of his own dollars in support of this candidate. What do you think?
• 
  I am not like certain Hollywood actors & actresses...who, after making their fortunes in our freemarket, capitalistic and democratic society turn into parasites attacking and condemning the very institutions which gave them the opportunities they've had. What causes them to hate the very way of life which gave them the freedoms and opportunities to be successful?

The answers to these puzzling question are out there. All it takes is some objective critical thinking and a little time to do the research. Oh, you probably guess who I'll be voting for.

One simple truth is this: we are at war with terrorism. Our world changed after 9-11-2001. it's not business as usual. Yet this war is not new. This recent terrorism dates back some 25 years to the late 1970s when Jimmy Carter was President and Iran held some American hostage. If we don't defend our way of life today, tomorrow we may not have to worry about our jobs or what we are going to do in our retirement and our children may not have the freedom we hold so dear(sic). Evil thrives when good people do nothing.
(Name withheld to not further embarrass the author)
Michael Moore a Marxist? John Soros a communist? And the French got free oil and money from Saddam Hussein?

Look, I did a lot of acid in my day. And I drank more than my fair share of alcohol. But in my farthest out drug induced fantasy I never lost reality to the extent my former co-worker has. And the very sad thing is, he is not alone.
*Dump Bush

[CarolynEC]

1. *yawn*

:boring:

[BJ]

2. Snooze on....

or think it's funny, if you must. But remember, after November 2 these guys will still be there. Even if John Kerry wins the election there's a lot of work to do still. We might not get guys like my former co-worker to change his mind so we have to work with an eye to the future.

[deadmessengers]

3. Who's John Soros?

I'm not sure who John Soros is :shrug:

Is he referring to George Soros, who made his billions as a currency trader, that most capitalistic of activities?

[BJ]

5. Hey, I'm just retyping what's written.

But I'm sure he might be thinking of George Soros.

[Swamp Rat]

4. Instead of responding to the insane narrative I would ask the bearer of

this tripe why he is not in Iraq fighting for his leader. The ARMY is probably looking for a few insane bastards to go kill exotic people in faraway places.

[BJ]

6. Last I knew of him, he was in the Iowa National Guard.

[Swamp Rat]

9. Why is he here right now?

He should be in a foxhole right now, cleaning his rifle.

[BJ]

13. REMF perhaps?

[Swamp Rat]

18. That's one name for him. Little weenie republican coward is another.

There's no excuse for him to be here if he supports Bush. The ONLY thing I could say to him is:

If you support Bush, you MUST go to Iraq IMMEDIATELY. No excuses for age, prior service, physical disability, lack of intelligence, sexual preference, none whatsoever. Otherwise, you are a coward and do not deserve U. S. citizenship. If you do not go to Iraq first thing tomorrow, you MUST go to a hospital and demand a lobotomy... you are breathing my air.

[Anakin Skywalker]

24. Typical freeper braggarts.

LOL. Yeah! Let's see these "talk big" types fight in iraq. As soon as you bring that up, watch for them to squirm and make excuses.

[mitchum]

23. I hope his "patriotic" ass is soon deployed

[punpirate]

7. Statements such as this one...

... strongly suggest to me there's a component of the country with not just cognitive dissonance, but profound cognitive impairment, as well.

When one can't tell the difference between supposition, fact and insane ramblings, one comes to conclusions such as these. :crazy:

[BJ]

10. The sad fact is that Democrats fight for the Postal Service.

Republicans have been trying to privatize the USPS since Reagan. Poppy Bush really pushed the concept. Yet, the last carrier annex I worked out of there were nearly as many Republicans as Democrats, perhaps even a slim majority. These guys and gals said they were staunch union but voted against their own best self-economic interest.

[punpirate]

17. Wish everyone would read...

... "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

Lays out that syndrome very well. Makes no sense to vote for people who promise cultural change and who then use those votes to undermine the economic well-being of the voters.

[Anakin Skywalker]

25. Exactly!

I remember Rush mouthing off about how FedEx and UPS are so much better than the Postal Service. Lots of Republicans are stupid this way. They believe all the hype that Bush makes about his religion and his fear-mongering about terrorism, and completely ignore their own economic interest.

[skygazer]

8. Yeah, why would we want to be like the French?

Instead we should remember how we treated Iraq - by selling weapons to Saddam which he could then use to terrorize his populace. Much better.

[smirkymonkey]

11. He forgot something...

I AM NOT....

A rational, thinking, sane human being...like the liberals over at Democratic Underground. Those who would vote for John Kerry and John Edwards, who will be kicking George Bush's and Dick Cheney's asses on November 2nd. Or is that November 3rd? I do not know, because I am a complete moron and I pick my nose just like my chickenshit leader George "Jesus" Bush, who is not insane because god told me so.

[sphincter]

12. Puzzling...

How can people just swallow information like that? I mean, he must have gotten the facts from somewhere, right? What ever happened to critical thinking? Bet he believes in the toothfairy and Harry Potter as well...

[BJ]

14. No, he'd say the tooth fairy and Harry Potter are Satanic.

I also remember this guy, besides being a "Cheesehead" Packer fan, thought of himself as religious.

[NightTrain]

15. Since I have a lot of friends in Montreal...

...I deeply resent that anti-French bullshit.

Hey fucktard: the French helped us win the American Revolution, AND they gave us the Statue of Liberty. So fuck you!!!

[NYC Liberal]

26. And about 20% of the country with the Louisiana Purchase.

Since they hate France so much, they should be advocating returning it.

But since when have Rethugs ever cared about being hypocritical assholes?

[mediaman007]

16. Since terrorism has been around since Jimmy Carter...

who was asleep at the switch between January 2001 and September 2001?

I guess it took September 11, 2001 to remind Bush* that there were terrorists. Clinton told him. The CIA told him. Clark told him.

Now he's enabled more terrorists with his massive blunder in Iraq. He not only created more terrorists, he armed them too.

Your buddy is a turd.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. Terrorism has been around since the nineteenth century

:-)

One of the czars of Russia was killed by someone throwing a bomb out of the crowd.

[mediaman007]

20. Yup, but I was relating to the original post.

You are correct though. The United States responds like we were the first to be terrorized. The World has been dealing with terrorism forever.

[progressivebydesign]

21. After Bush hosed the Post Office workers during the anthrax attacks..

.. you'd think that guy would get a clue! Remember when Bush and all the politicians got Cipro, after the first anthrax death? The postal workers, who were ON THE FRONT LINE OF THAT ATTACK, were treated like second class citizens. How a postal worker could EVER vote for that fraud, is beyond me.

[orwell]

22. Enlist

Bring him an Army enlistment form.

[NightTrain]

27. Re: "I am not like the French."

My reply:

"Va chier!"

OR:

"Va te faire mettre!"

[SemperEadem]

28. sounds like us DUers need to formulate a cogent reply

to be printed in the newsletter to remind him that no one knew the extent of his ignorance until he poured the contents of his small brain out on the page... get the names, facts and dates right, s0n, before proving what an uneducated ass your are.
