America Speaking Out - A comedy forum, apparently
Today, I discovered a delightful site called "America Speaking Out"; a website created by the American Republican party, putatively for the purposes of creating an online forum where Americans can let the Republican party leadership know what they're thinking about. The structure is a simple one: Anyone can join, free of charge, with a very quick registration. They can then immediately start posting polls on relevant topics, which are unmoderated and can be commented upon.
The trolls have found this place really quickly, and I am proud to count myself among their numbers.
I really have no qualms about this one; the idea that the Republican leadership was ever going to allow their voting habits to be guided by a site like this is absurd. This was never anything but a transparent publicity stunt. It deserves to be mocked, and so I am more than happy to take part in that mockery. I've put up a few polls already, which seem to be treated fairly favourably:
A few topics I've come up with:
-I've noticed lately that America's birds are getting a little on the small side. The North African Ostrich is the world's largest and therefore best bird. Why is it that the greatest country on earth doesn't have the world's biggest birds? Liberals want our birds to be small because they hate the Constitution. Jews did 9/11.
-Given that the source of all sin is the Devil, and therefore all of our worldly woes, does not it logically follow that in order to truly secure our great nation from harm, we need to defeat the devil himself? We are taught that suicide is a mortal sin, and that all who commit it go immediately to h*ll. What I propose, therefore, is this: Mass suicide by our armed forces, so as to occupy H*ll, depose the devil, and bring democracy to the inferno. Liberals and communists would have us believe that the deaths of our entire armed forces would weaken our national defense, but this couldn't be further from the truth: With the devil dead, Islam would no longer exist, and we would therefore be safe from external threats.
-I see a lot of homeless veterans who have debilitatng physical and mental illnesses suffered in the line of duty and are now begging for change on the street. I feel that by giving them this change, we only encourage current and future members of the armed forces to suffer these illnesses, thus weakening our national defense. Rewarding this behavior is unpatriotic, and anyone who disagrees with me is only helping the terrorists.
-Won't someone please think of the children?
It seems the membership of this new site is having a rollicking good time. Won't you join us?
