new repuke mantra...if its on the internets it's not valid...my crazy aunt
you all will remember, I fueded with my aunt last summer about * she loves him, I hate him ect...abortion and all that.

Saw her again this weekend. She asked

"I don't remember, did you say you watched Fox news" I said

NO (would have said hell no, but my mom was there)

She said

"oh well you aren't one of us then"

I said

"if not being a fox freeper rush loving ditto head can't think for myself person, then no I guess I am not "one of you"

I then asked her what she thought of bushy saying GOD told him personally to invade Iran..

she said where did you hear that? on the internet??? you know its not true if its on the internet...


I said what??? now you don't believe the internet???

I told her no actually I saw the BBC interview but the link was on the internet...what did they make that up too???


She walked away!

2. My mom basically says the same thing
"Everything on the internet (including MSM news sites) is fake. If it's not on TV or in the local paper, it didn't happen." I almost threw up when she said that last year.

5. Same old song and dance. It's getting old.
You should ask what to believe if a story is both in the MSM and the Internet? I guess then they are both wrong?:rofl:

peace.

15. never thought about that...
what pisses me off is the fact, that they label us as not of faith.

I am probably a better christian and way more TOLerant than she will ever be!

HOW dare she judge me!

10. I think we have to watch this. TV is covering Blogs & Internet so
much lately that some sneaky rovian slime story could make us look bad.

Tim Lahaye ministries: www.timlahaye.com/index.php?a=ok
