Issues such as the expansion of Americorps, gun control, the ability to turn off American access to the Internet and the North American Union make the Ruhls feel their fears are substantiated.

Because Americorps is a Nazi organization? :eyes: Oh, and Obama is going to take away their guns, right? Oh, and I LOVE this part about how Obama has "the ability to turn off American access to the Internet." Did you know that?? That there's a great big spigot in the White House that controls the access of all the American people to the Internet, and Obama wants to TURN THE SPIGOT AND SHUT IT OFF? That all he has to do is turn that spigot, and all the Internet stuff will stop flowing down to us through the series of tubes and we won't be able to access it anymore?????

Um, yeah. The guy who tore a swag off your float is the "extremist." And by doing so, he DENIED YOU YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT. I mean, in that one small action, he squelched you completely, completely robbing you of your ability to get your message across to people, ever. Which is why YOU ARE TELLING YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER ABOUT IT AND THEY ARE WRITING A STORY ABOUT YOU.

...Oh man. I have to go to bed. :banghead:
