This is so funny! Now, why would we think otherwise?

If it weren't for the Constitution, we would all be in handcuffs!!!

The connection to the Chamber of Commerce is interesting and scary. Looks like the normal knuckle-draggers aren't getting the job done. Now they're calling in the troops - Air force trolls! It's cheaper than paying CIA agents, I guess. We should all be sending copies of this story to our representatives and local newspapers.

This is another item to be broadcast far and wide:

I sent it out on facebook and twitter - can you?

For reasons that most people understand, I have avoided facebook. The facebook contract gives them control/ownership of just about anything you post, including photos. And I don't tweet...yet. I'm thinking of getting into that.

Not a problem about the facebook though I find it funny that their site could be used to spread good information to others.

If you visit other social sites perhaps you could place the information there.

Twitter is fairly easy to get going. Even a technology challenged individual such as I have been able to use it.

Good to hear from you.

We fight on.

Yes, trolls are to some degree paid psychological operatives, I do wonder how many of the trolls here are just one operative in Langley or Utah or where ever the fear based controllers base this mind manipulation crap. This is of course totally unacceptable in an free and open society. But who will police the police-state?

Thanks for posting the link interesting indeed. I suspect only the tip of the iceberg.

I'm nearly speechless. Is this the kind of America we want to live in? The public is being tricked and brainwashed at every turn AND they're paying for it with their tax dollars. The joke is on us people. Time to wake up.
