Absolute Absurdity

The President of the United States is an American citizen. The man who ran against him in 2008 is also an American citizen. Can people quit saying otherwise?

The President of the United States has nothing to do with how high gas prices are, no matter if he's been involved with oil companies or not. Can people quit saying otherwise?

Past Presidents of the United States are not "borderline [mentally challenged]". Can people quit saying otherwise?

The following are quotes taken from "loose acquaintances" of mine:

-"Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer, is a murderer. She loves to watch people die because of lack of organ implants. Greedy [censored] politicians."

-"Unsurmountable proof that the education system in [America] is lacking. The city of [redacted] where i live was purchasing land to build parks. The combined total of all this land was appraised at $29.4 million. You know what [redacted] paid for it that came out of the taxpayers pockets? $49 million dollars. Now i'm no mathematician, but it seems [redacted] payed double what it needed."


-"Took Obama all this time to make a suitable forgery for his birth certificate."


After some minor edits and censorship, I managed to clean that up, and all grammar and spelling errors are not mine. But really? Shall we progress through the accusations, starting from the ones I wrote at the top of the page and proceeding down? 


1. No candidate could even get into the primaries without a valid birth certificate. That SHOULD be the end of this, right? No siree. People still think that a candidate made it through a vast majority of states, and almost a year of campaigning without having a birth certificate. Yeah right. John McCain's citizenship is also being questioned. American Government, eleventh grade: US military bases are American soil. John McCain was born on a US military base. Thus, John McCain is an American citizen. Myth: busted. 


2. The president doesn't have a dial from $0 to $10 sitting in the Oval Office that controls gas prices. He doesn't lower it when he has a good day or raise it when his Cheerios are soggy in the morning. It's all international commodity trading and futures trading. Whatever the price is in the international market, gas prices will reflect that after a delay period of a week or so. This rule applies to George W. Bush as well. Just because he had ties to oil companies doesn't mean he's magically allowed to influence a global commodity market. Not that simple. 


3. Apparently, George W. Bush, aside from being able to control every country in the world with a wave of his hand, is also borderline "mentally challenged". The only reason he became president was because his father was a powerful figure in politics. To that, my friends, I respond "bullhonkey". Plenty of people who have powerful fathers never become president. Lacking skills in the public speaking department does not mean your IQ is sub-80. I heard a quote saying he was a "mass murderer" recently. Completely asinine accusation. You don't get to be president of the United States if your IQ is sub-80. Say what you want about GWB, when you look at the facts, the seeds of the financial collapse go back to the Carter Administration, Reagan Administration, and Clinton Administration. Masterminds of deregulation are still high-ranking officials within the Obama Administration today. I could go into more detail in another post in the future, let me know if this interests you. 


4. Ah, yes. Apparently Governor Jan Brewer has a favorite pastime that involves watching people die because she withholds their organ transplants. Definitely, because she has all the control in the world over organ donations. She was recently elected "Supreme Empress over Bodily Organs". I'm sure that's exactly how that went down. I honestly don't even know what this is referring to, but one look tells me that it's completely false. 


5. On to the education system, and how that made the park that costs $29 million actually cost "double" at $49 million. Maybe the education system really IS lacking, if 49 is 29 x 2. I was completely unaware of that. Again, not sure what this is referring to, but my main question here is "how does this have anything at all to do with America's education system"?


6. See #1. 


I'm getting sick and tired of hearing the absolute garbage that I outlined in "my" posts, the first three. The last three were one-time examples of radical political ignorance, and how misguided a person can be. 


Stay in school, kids, and for the love of David J. Matthews, please think before you open your mouth.


PS: I'm going to TRY posting more often, so apologies for the one month hiatus.
PPS: What do you want to read next, the plight of independent candidates in America, or something about the  financial recession and how the blame is unfairly placed on George W. Bush?
