     Kleim argues: "Boobus Americanus does NOT operate rationally; he has no opinion, and cannot form an opinion independent of the Jewsmedia. The ONLY thing that can 'convert' Boobus Americanus is more and more Negro crime, less and less jobs, greater and greater hardships of all kinds. Joe Sixpack will do absolutely nothing until the flow of his beer ends. The average American moron must be FORCED to think, and no amount of racist propaganda concealed Buchanan-style in patriotic wrappers will make the masses consider 'the Truth.'"

     Boobus Americanus - like its cousin Boobus Britannia and other close relatives - has become so conditioned to both the concocted threats of the ogre du jour and to an omnipotent and omnipresent government scarecrow, that it is willing to surrender, without question, its wealth and liberty for the sake of "protection."

     I'm trying to compliment Barry. After all -- he has spent his life seeing things -- and then doing them. Things I would never have thought he was capable of. Just like a monkey, he can pick up an acorn and call it a steak sandwich ! And people believe him !
     
     After all -- he was a colored boy -- born in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no talent above that of a young ditch digger. But he convinced Boobus Americanus that he was an American -- a white man -- and qualified to be president. And .... our good friend .. Boobus
     Elected him !
     
     Go Barry, Go ! Do it again !!!
