What the hell?
Yesterday, my cousin posted the following bit of conservative wankery in his FB status:
WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Press 1 for English. Press 2 to disconnect until you learn to speak English. And remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, JESUS CHRIST. And the AMERICAN SOLDIER. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. If you agree... copy and paste in your status
Have you ever seen such drivel? First a whine that other languages offend the writer's delicate ears. Then some jingoistic twaddle comparing American soldiers to Jesus.
I'm trying to think of what I could say to this. It's in poor taste, but there are no glaring factual or logical errors to rebut. What's the proper way to tell someone they are being a jackass?
