I know I’m wasting my time, but thought I would at least give it a shot this morning. I’m trying to see if I can cut through the Republican sound bubble by providing some facts to the delusional folks out there who believe everything they read on the Internet is real. The bubble they all live in is pretty thick (like their skulls), but here’s my best shot!
If your news begins with the phrase “What the mainstream media isn’t telling you,” then what your media is telling you is bullshit. It’s a lie. There are litte facts, nor truth to what they are feeding you. To make a good lie, you have to provide a little truth to make it believable but it’s still a lie. It’s shit. It only tastes like meat because a little passed through the colon undigested. The reason mainstream media outlets aren’t printing or distributing the crap you’re getting is that it doesn’t meet any aspect for the standard of professional journalism.

This is just one example of the little photos I see on Fakebook each day. Facebook should really be renamed Fakebook. Most of what is on there is fake. Here’s an example of what I mean:
Yep…like that model you slept with in college, it never happened. None of it. Not one thing on here is true except that it’s a picture of the President. However, if you ask a Republican, they will eat this shit like it’s sugar!
Here’s the TRUE story:
When Whitney Houston died, Governor Chris Christy (A Republican)
ordered all the flags in his state to fly at half-staff. The President was never involved. It was done by a Republican. When Christy was criticized for the move of honoring a Houston, he said ““I am disturbed by people who believe that because of her history of substance abuse that somehow she’s forfeited the good things that she did in her life.” He also had flags flown at half-staff when Clarence Clemmons died, one of the band members for the E-street band. You see, both were from New Jersey.

Another popular image of the President is with Whitney Houston and Chris Kyle, the most deadly sniper. It turns out the President wasn’t involved in not flying the flags at half-staff for him either. Governer Rick Perry (another Republican) chose not to fly the flags at half-staff when Kyle was killed because as flag tradition requires when a service member is killed in the line of duty flags are to be flown at half-staff. Kyle was not in the military, or serving his country, when he was killed.
Now, let’s talk about the five service men killed while serving their country. It turns out the President DID order the flags to fly at half-staff. Even Fox News reported on it. So how do you explain the ignorance of this meme when even the noise in the bubble is reporting correctly? You can’t.
If you would just take 30 seconds (that’s all it took me to find out this was all bullshit) you would be able learn so much about the world that you thought was real is really fake and that you thought was fake is real. I read a lot of criticism of Democrats and the President, but none of them seem to be steeped in any truth. You like to call liberals stupid and lazy, but is it really them? Are they stupid and lazy?
At least this one took the 30 seconds to research the facts.
