RR A hodge podge of charges but I didn't see you respond to the ones I made you can see by scrolling down? Comrade B In a message dated 2/11/2013 7:35:49 P.M.

FACT: Obama just signed 23 executive orders for gun control. FACT: Obama has declared war without Congressional approval. FACT: Obama has ordered numerous terrorist drone strikes that have killed 100's of innocent women and children. FACT: Virtually all of the mass shootings were done by teenagers who were taking prescription psychoactive drugs which are known to cause irrational violent behavior, something that is never mentioned in the mainstream media. Why not? etc., etc....These are just a few of the facts from that documentary off the top of my head. Even if some of the things cannot be proven, in view of all the indisputable facts I have to assume that it's at least possible that everything in could be true until proven otherwise. RG can tell you that when you are playing poker the way to judge whether a person is telling the truth or is bluffing is by replaying every move the person made in the hand and put them it together into a story and ask yourself if the story makes sense. Conspiracy theories are no different than scientific theories. They explain all facts. They aren't necessarily true, but they offer the best logical explanation. When you are playing poker you are constantly constructing conspiracy theories about what hands your opponents have. Not all of your theories are correct but when most of them are then you win. I almost always win at poker. -RR -----Original Message----- From: Pixiehat <pixiehat@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Feb 11, 2013 4:25 PM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: The Executive <ZZZBO Nor does it make it fact.

Bush was was just as bad. Just so you don't think I am a right wing or a racist, I voted for Obama in 2008. This last election I didn't vote because there was no candidate that I approved of. -RR -----Original Message----- From: Sblumen123@xxxxxxx Sent: Feb 11, 2013 2:54 PM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: The Executive Lee, RR, JS, DR and the rest of the gang Checked out the link all the way and in my humble opinion BS all the way by a member of the run of the mill anti Obama herd sheepie who falsely posts me as being anti 2nd amendment, pro banning guns altogether, puts a bunch of false words in my mouth and stupidly clings to his idotic plain english, H.R. 5542 means only a tax on imports. Listen to this jerk and he will have you believe that President Obama is a secret Muslim, Hitler, Karl Marx communist, although a Karl Marx communist wouldn't be a bad idea.

I was under the impression that this was a forum to share information and have discussions. To the best of my knowledge all the facts presented in the documentary are true. If have information that contradicts what is said in the documentary then please share them it with the rest of us.. By describing it as you did, it appears to me that you are expecting us to believe it to be so. ;lee Thanks, RR -----Original Message----- From: "Lee, NI7I" <pixiehat@xxxxxxxxxxx> .
