<p>Now listen&#8230; whatever I write here goes. </p>
<p>Read this slowly. I just want to make sure it all sinks in.  </p>
<p>Here are the rules; I tell you what to think. Don&#8217;t argue with me now. This is best for all of us. </p>
<p>You do not think for yourself. I repeat, you do not think for yourself. You can go ahead and make you&#8217;re own decisions, but its better if you let me form them for you. </p>
<p>It takes time to think, and frankly, who really wants to do that? That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s topic &#8211; who should it be? Well, who else but the President of the United States, Barack Obama; and his proposed overhaul of the U.S. Healthcare system. </p>
<p>I have all the facts on this issue. I did extensive research. </p>
<p>So here is what you&#8217;ve been waiting to hear&#8230;</p>
<p>If I tell you your grandmother will die as part of a death panel under President Obama&#8217;s Healthcare Plan, its because its the truth.  </p>
<p>If I tell you 3/4 of the people opposing Universal Healthcare at these debates, haven&#8217;t read the legislation, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you &#8220;Obamacare&#8221; is the best thing to ever happen to this country, I&#8217;m telling you the truth.</p>
<p>If I tell you that Barack Obama is a racist, yet he was raised by white parents, I&#8217;m telling you the truth.  </p>
<p>If I tell you Barack Obama &#8216;only&#8217; cares about the interests of poor minorities, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you Barack Obama, and not George Bush, is responsible for this financial mess, I&#8217;m telling you the truth.  </p>
<p>If I tell you &#8216;some&#8217; white people at townhalls aren&#8217;t racist, yet they rip up a Rosa Parks or Obama poster held by a Black lady, I&#8217;m telling you the truth.  </p>
<p>If I tell you racism, which was supposed to temper down with a Black President in office, is at its strongest point in years, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you Sonia Sotomayor is an unqualified, racist Latina judge, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, I&#8217;m telling you the truth.  </p>
<p>If I tell you I have the birth certificate proving it, I&#8217;m telling you the truth.</p>
<p>If I tell you our President is a socialist, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you that &#8216;socialist&#8217; is just a code word for nigger, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you our President&#8217;s main goal is to destroy this country, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you that the election was rigged by liberals, somehow, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you to give Barack time, I know things will turnaround, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you Healthcare won&#8217;t get passed, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you old, James Von Brunn killed a Black security guard in Washington D.C, because of his deep hate for people of different faiths and colors, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>If I tell you Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy, I &#8220;might&#8221; be telling you the truth.</p>
<p>If I tell you James Earl Ray killed Martin Luther King, I &#8216;might&#8217; be telling you the truth. </p>
<p>And lastly, if I tell you that this healthcare debate will end in our President dodging bullets; or some innocent bystander getting hurt, I&#8217;m telling you the truth. </p>
<p>And that last truth, is one that we don&#8217;t want to come to accept, but there&#8217;s a strong chance we&#8217;ll have to very soon. </p>
<p>And who&#8217;s fault will it be? Well, it can&#8217;t be me. It can&#8217;t be Beck or Maddow. We may tell you what to think, but at the end of the day, we don&#8217;t tell you what to do.  </p>
<p>Or atleast, we think so&#8230;</p>
<p>*Obviously, most of the things I wrote here don&#8217;t reflect my real views. I was just mocking both sides of the media and the impact they have on people.*</p>
