This e-mail has pretty much everything: ACORN, Americorps, death panels, rationing, illegal aliens, and government controlled motorized wheel chairs.

Throw in some gun control and Obama's Islamic upbringing in Kenya and we could rule the world of forwards.

What the loving christ. I thought this was a fake one that you wrote up.

I just received this email as a forward.

I had some time off yesterday and took apart that "here's whats in HR3200 email."

Edit: On second thought, I posted it in the Obamacare thread. Go here

Edit2: Does anybody know if the second half of this email actually exists?

Don't add to the problem! Anything crazy you make up, there's some dumb fucker out there who will believe it. Someone will honestly believe that commies are genetically incapable of religion and therefore don't have souls or something. If they don't have a soul, they aren't really people right?

Hey, isn't Obama a communist?

I like how the entire thing is predicated on the unspoken assumption that being a communist is an unnacceptable position in American politics. Nobody would warn the president that there were libertarians skulking about.

Obviously the majority of people in the world only eat American wheat. Not, for instance, rice.

Even in wheat production USA ranks third after China and India. Maize is one where US production overwhelms rest of the world, but I think United States needs oil more than Arabs need corn flakes or tortillas...

Yeah... what do we produce, like 20% of our consumption? The increase in price of gasoline would be so drastic half our country couldn't afford food anymore. Hope you like paying $20 for a loaf of bread!

I love how conservatives don't get theres a huge difference between "don't kick out illegal immigrants" and "it's racist to make every vaguely tannish person show ID"

This is a core component of a conservative mind, I think. You see it everywhere.

Say something sympathetic to Palestinians? You're "defending terrorism." Because some Palestinians are terrorists, I guess, that means saying anything the least bit nice about them means that you love everything that every one of them does!

Think that America should realize it's just one country in a large world and that yes, we actually should consider the opinions of other nations sometimes? Why do you want America to SURRENDER ITS SOVEREIGNTY?

Your friend's awfully nutty and he certainly believes "most if not all" people act as if they make decisions by following basic formulas. I'm surprised the wild impracticality of the scenario didn't even register with him. For example, just how are people going to go off to work as doctors and scientists and whatnot AND practice subsistence farming? Working 80 hr weeks doesn't leave a lot of time for...whatever you do in Utopista. Who's doing the cooking and cleaning? Who's going to make the clothes? Does he know how long and hard it is to do laundry by hand? There's a reason society has moved towards industrialization and specialization of labor.

Also, who lets 7 yr olds govern?!!

Strangely, a properly constructed teepee would hold up well in both. A large stable base and a low CG means the earth shaking doesn't really do anything to it, and as it so happens cones produce downforce no matter what direction the wind comes from, so a hurricane would just anchor it into the ground better.

Of course, the operative phrase here is "properly constructed"

Teepees are not solid objects and are not going to behave in the manner you seem to think.

It's from Glenn Beck's call for all federal employees to be paid no more than the average US citizen (because all federal employees are useless government teat suckers and not hard working millionaires like him). Which as someone pointed out was also one of the big ideas to come out of the Paris commune so heavily praised by Marx and Lenin.

So if you guys want to have fun you can respond to those guys that if Lenin thought it was a good idea they must be on to something.

Yes. Air traffic controllers at O'Hare should definitely make ~40k/year. That will definitely attract people qualified enough to handle the lives of hundreds of thousands of people per day!
