Fw: The One!


Is this a fairy tale??? VERY SAD BUT VERY TRUE



Preview of a Sunday School lesson.

" And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land
called America, having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will
to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known
as The One. He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no
meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you.





My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my
association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you
with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land
that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that
all he has built must be destroyed."

And the people rejoiced. For even though they knew not what The One
would do, He had promised that it was good; and they believed.

And The One said "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me
change everything about it!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!"

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,"----

And the people said "Sock it to them!"

"---- and redistribute their wealth."

And the people said, "Show us the money!"

And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"

And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal
my money and give it to the deadbeats??"

And The One ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were
hacked and publicized.

One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?"

And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero
military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical
terrorists?"

And The One said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with them and
show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever
wanted to kill us all!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat
our weapons into free cars for the people!"

Then The One said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."

And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."

So The One said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats
pay!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"

Then The One said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your
homes!"

And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.

And He said, "I shall mandate employer- funded health care for EVERY worker
and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every person unlimited
healthcare and medicine
and transportation to the clinics."

And the people said, "Gim'me some of that!"

Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."

And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"

Then The One said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity
rates will skyrocket!"

And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we
don't care for that part about higher electric rates."

So The One said, "Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover
your expenses, we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your
troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's
grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free
medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing . . ."

And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and
ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others
simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto a
rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed.
Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a
means of support.

Then The One said, "I am the The One - The Messiah - and I'm here to save
you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"

But our foreign trading partners said unto Him, "Wait a minute. Your
dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay
more . . . "

And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"

And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have
embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate
power. Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"

But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat
upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty
nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or
shelter or hope. And the Change The One had given them was as like unto
a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all
that they had built.



And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish,
"Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"

But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.

    Is this a fairy tale? Nope, it's happening RIGHT NOW!

[Liberator]

And your point is?

If you are posting this in support of what it is saying, then you have done a complete 180 from some of your previous positions.

If you are posting it to ridicule and laugh...get a new schtick.

What you have in The One is a traditional "Chicago Style" politician.  There is no positive change where he is going.

[General Battuta]

The funny thing is that the criticisms of Obama here, and the narrative they're placed in, are basically no different from the criticisms the left leveled against Bush.

[Unknown Target]

Ew I got politics on me...

[iamzack]

It's just a silly, silly attempt at mimicking ye olde fictione.

[Mongoose]

People forward stupid, politically-tinged e-mails to each other?  Shocking! 

[Turambar]

Heh, and the Republicans try and spin it that libruls are the ones who try and manipulate emotional responses into votes.

Silly folks have no grasp of altruism and synergy.

[Liberator]

I grow weary of both parties.

The dems are attempting to change the country in ways I don't want it to and lying about it beforehand.

The republicans are lying about doing things I like and trying to change the country behind my back.

[DeepSpace9er]

the first part seems like a somewhat decently thoughtout ripoff of biblical style.. but then he gets lazy and its not as funny anymore.

[IronBeer]

Don't think I'll get involved in this one.

[Knight Templar]

tl;dr

[Blue Lion]

Yea I'm not gonna read that whole thing.

[esarai]

Esarai sees an expression of unsupported and unwarranted hysteria.

[blackhole]

"Hey look mom, dumb people!"

"Don't tease the conservatives, dear."

[General Battuta]

I think we should be careful about making dispositional inferences about other groups. Negative stereotypes are dangerous heuristics.
