Spare me the stupid-ass hate emails about Obama

When I get an email about some of the stripping away of civil rights that is rampant in the USA, I am encouraged by the increased awareness of the problem. A recent one is about how INTERPOL has been granted immunity in their actions within US borders. As often happens, the email contained a mixture of true and inaccurate information. With Snopes, UrbanLegends and just plain Googling one can verify and qualify these emails.

What irks me to no end, is when the email begins with something on the order of an insult or accusation followed by the name Obama, thus trying to add credence or verification to the alert. Epithets like Muslim President, or Terrorist President, or any number of defamatory titles, don't do much more than turn me off from the story and sour the chances of my giving much legitimacy to the email that follows. It actually acts very much like cursing or an over-abundance of profanity; I tune the rant out. Too bad, in the case of an otherwise serious email notice.

Here's a question: What kind of bone-headed idiot thinks that Obama is anyone? Are people so duped and brain-dead that they think that Obama is truly running anything other than his mouth? I learned long ago, and so did Obama, that if an American president doesn't play ball with the Power Elite/Military Industrial Complex/Insiders--who finance both sides of any war and control the world-wide propaganda machine known as The Media--the best he can hope for is a "last warning", by something like receiving a video rendering of the Zapruder film with his head super-imposed over John F. Kennedy's. It's that cut and dried. Believing that Obama is anyone who truly holds any decision-making power, other than deciding how he's going to cover his ass, is living in a deep delusion. It would be like thinking that Bob Saget controls policy on NBC. Obama is nothing more than a slick announcer for a very dangerous TV show called America.

So, spare me the fucking lame emails. Even if the content is credible, I won't get that far.
