Political: I am dumber for having seen these things

[valarltd]

I am embarrassed to be related--even by marriage--to the person who took this seriously:


It makes no sense.
Every government wants to eradicate troublesome elements of their society. They do this by education, exile, imprisonment or genocide.
But no government wants to eradicate ALL of its society. That makes no sense. Without people, or a country, or a society, there is no need for government, and worse, no tax base.
What're they going to do once all 300 million people are dead? Tax the squirrels? Acorns as the new currency?

Seriously, people.

Also, "martial" not marshal. The Marshall marshaled his forces and declared martial law.
(Meme-maker, you have a call on the homophone. Meme-maker to the homophone please)

Of course, there is always the option that they only mean Real People: straight white Christians like themselves. Because they've been told for years that their government wants to lock them up for their guns and their faith.

Again, seriously?
You're 75% of the population. And if the government wanted you gone, you think they'd bother creating a crisis? No, a few drones and a couple pain rays, a rocket launch and you're gone.

And then there's this gem:

Relevant bit at 10:50

“The problem is with Mark Pryor and Barack Obama refusing to enforce our immigration laws, and refusing to secure our border. I’ll change that when I’m in the United States Senate. And I would add, it’s not just an immigration problem. We now know that it’s a security problem. Groups like the Islamic State collaborate with drug cartels in Mexico who have clearly shown they’re willing to expand outside the drug trade into human trafficking and potentially even terrorism.

“They could infiltrate our defenseless border and attack us right here in places like Arkansas. This is an urgent problem and it’s time we got serious about it, and I’ll be serious about it in the United States Senate.”
(emphasis mine)

Or stripped of the obscuring language:
"The Muslim terrorists are going to get the Central American kids to conquer Arkansas! Fight the scary brown hordes! We have enough scary black criminals as it is!"

*slow blink* because Arkansas is SUCH a strategic target...

I'm only surprised he forgot to suggest they were using weaponized Ebola.
Ironically, he voted to handle the Islamic State crisis the EXACT same way as his opponent did.

The "quarantine the general public" made me LOL. Isn't putting everyone together in one place, rather than isolating those infected or exposed, pretty much the opposite of what quarantine means?
