Recently she sent me this forwarded email entitled "We Noticed."
I have filled in my own responses...

"WE NOTICED"
President Obama:
Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as
a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.
During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our
tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance
was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not
honoring our tradition.
America is supposed to be the "melting pot." This means that not everyone will have the same religion. Having said that, why should someone be forced to comply with the "traditions" of a religion that they do not follow...The Pledge of Allegiance is a cult-like chant to God, and if you're religion does not follow God, then why say it?
YES, "We noticed."
During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you
intended to visit all 57 states.
YES, you're a moron.
Obama never seriously said that there were 57 states. It was a joke. He was remarking on how lengthy his campaign trail had been...watch the video below, he even cracks a smile. Perhaps you robots can't pick up on things like humor...

We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.
Shutup.
YES, "We noticed."
When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a
flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto
the pile without leaning over.
YES, you're a moron.
Are we seriously nitpicking at the technique in which he placed a flower onto a pile of flowers?...
YES, "We noticed."
Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on
an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great
country.. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and
our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the
British Crown beyond belief.
YES, you're a moron.
Why not apologize for America's screw-ups? We are not perfect, and we should not parade ourselves to be. People respect honesty.
"Share our pride..." ? Should we be proud that we're killing millions of innocent people (both Americans and non) ?
YES, "We noticed."
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that
9/11 was " America 's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied
having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could
be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor
Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.
YES, you're a moron.
So, the only reason he disassociated himself from the church/Pastor was for political backing?...The idea that he was just as outraged as anyone else by the comment is just too out there isn't it--because if he left the church because he was offended that would ruin your whole argument about how he is un-Patriotic.
YES, "We noticed."
When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered
why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth.
Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built
her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your
election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from
Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a
very remarkable one.
"With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth."--Um...that doesn't even make sense.
I would like to take a guess: I would suspect that 75% of the people who think America is the greatest country in the world have never been to a different country...
To me, living in a country where not everyone can get married does NOT make it great.
To me, living in a country where being female means you make an average of 75cents on the dollar does NOT make it great.
To me, living in a country where being of a non-caucasian race determines your job/salary/worth does NOT make it great.
To me, going to war, spending ourselves into debt because of it, and killing innocent people (of all denominations) does NOT make it great.
YES, "We noticed."
All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded
yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the
positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority
of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or
affection for this country and her traditions.
YES, you're a moron.
Unqualified?
Joe Biden:
-one of the youngest Senators in history.
-one of the longest serving Senators in history.
-former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee which helped bring US military assistance in the Bosnian War
-former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee which dealt with issues related to drug policy/prevention/civil liberties and led to the creation of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and the Violence Against Women Act.
Nancy Pelosi:
-the 1st female Speaker of the House (which means she is next in line for the Presidency after Biden)
-having said that, she is the highest ranking female politician in American history.
-the 1st female in US history to hold the position of House Minority Whip (second in command to Minority Leader)
-the 1st woman to lead a major party in the House (as Minority Leader)
Gosh, they sound so unqualified...
YES, "We noticed."
You are 14 months into your term and every morning millions of
Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to
saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package
that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.
YES, you're a moron.
This nation was heading toward bankruptcy LONG before Obama was elected. No single person is to blame for the debt that we're in. It is a snowball effect.
YES, "We noticed."
We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not
in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled
"un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let
you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem
isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right
to speak out.
YES, you're a moron.

YES, you're a moron.
Peaceful protesting is one thing. Throwing bricks through politician's office windows and placing coffins on politician's front lawns is a completely different story. The reason you are being labeled "un-American", "racist", and "mob" is because you are acting like that.
YES, "We noticed."
On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only
Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in
whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are
Americans.
YES, you're a moron.
This is perfect proof of the problem with our country. It took a violent attack on our soil to bring us together...and how long did that last? maybe a year or two...then we went back to "us" and "them." Times of tragedy shouldn't be the only times we are united.
And YES, "We noticed."
There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could
help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy
this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.
YES, you're a moron.
PLEASE don't bring race into this. Race has NOTHING to do with qualification, expectations, or duties.
Also: what exactly has been destroyed since Obama has been president? The insane number of people without healthcare? Because millions of people now have healthcare and 98% of working Americans got a tax cut because of Obama.
YES, "We noticed."
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You
propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you
don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report
your proposal as what it is, a disgrace.
YES, you're a moron.
Oh please! Because of this whole flower ordeal you think he doesn't care about 9/11? Get a clue. Stop scraping for reasons to lash out at him. He's doing something respectful and honorable and you're trying to say it doesn't make a difference because he doesn't "share your reverence" ? How would you know?! I sincerely doubt that.
YES, "We noticed."
You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that
you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits
and policy.
YES, you're a moron.
Obviously, ordering the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp is an act of mockery against the Constitution.
Obviously, signing the reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (that provided coverage to an additional 4 million otherwise uninsured children) is an act of mockery against the Constitution.
Obviously, proposing new regulations on power plants, factories and oil refineries in an attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to curb global warming is an act of mockery against the Constitution.
Obviously, signing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (which expands the US federal hate-crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability) is an act of mockery against the Constitution.
Obviously, trying to repeal stupid legislation like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is an act of mockery against the Constitution.
Wow, all those things really embarrass and offend me...OH WAIT--no they don't. And those are just a FEW of the great things he's done.
Educate yourselves people.
YES, "We noticed."
We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans
come together again, it will be to remove you from office.
Stop trying to be intimidating, it's not working.
YES, "We noticed."

ReplyDeleteIt is ridiculous how angry conservative people make me. I know I shouldn't let them get under my skin, but their stupidity and lack of knowledge of the issues makes me cringe.
Thank you for posting this. Your responses were right on point, and I agree whole-heartedly.
Your Liberal Friend,
Maureen
I love this post and I could not have said it better myself. It seriously pisses me off when non-conservatives get labeled as "un-American"... seriously? Because we want our government to be more involved and help those who need it, we're un-American? Fuck you.
ReplyDeleteI have such an issue with this "america as a melting pot". It makes it sound like everyone is put in this big pot and being made to all feel the same way. overseas the claim their countries are "mosaics" where they dont force everyone to follow teh same beliefs. just saying.
ReplyDeletei agree. my point in saying that though was to point out how in the beginning the term was to display how unique/different everyone was but that they were all together.
ReplyDeleteyou're completely right that the actual term is a mediocre one. i've heard "stew" which i like a tad more (as far as food metaphors go lol) because in a stew everything retains its own individual characteristics but are all put together to create something great.
Nice to be your friends. Your blog contains useful information. Many thanks
