As extreme as PeTA is in its moonbat corner of psychospace, I'm almost surprised that they didn't issue a Bhuddist fatwa against Obama, citing an ongoing insectile holocaust as justification for anyone to kill this killer in the name of dharmic duty.

But for PeTA to even take such a pro-fly position is more than absurd, considering their record for euthanizing pet dogs and cats at a far higher rate than most animal shelters.

Strange, isn't it, that any "right to lifers" value tiny clumps of cells as infinitely more valuable than women and their doctors, or that any "animal activists" value common house flies above cats and dogs.

As usual, PeTA is being hypocritical in the extreme, in the long-range fruit-bat pursuit of some goal that appears mysterious to rational observers.

PeTA is correct; Obama should not have so cavalierly slaughtered that innocent fly. For consider, were it not for flies, we'd be up to our nostrils in rotting garbage and carrion, and the microbial manifestations those harbor. The flies, notably bluebottles, are some of the most valuable animals on earth, and damn you Barack for killing one!

There is another aspect of the matter to consider; what if Obama is a time traveler, an nonfictional DR. Who, as it were? It is said that if you go to the past and so much as slap a mosquito, it can profoundly change the future. Could it be that BHO came back here for the express purpose of killing that particular fly in order to accomplish some nefarious and evil project in the future, or rather, his real present?

There's no doubt about it; what with climate change, the population bomb, and now a president's vicious pogrom against flies, we're all screwed.

LOL....Ummm....ok.

I think you need your snakes back filthy, you're obviously really bored.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

To answer the topic question: Yes. I'm reasonably sure they can be more retarded than they are now. After years of observing stupid people I have realized that the stupidest possible person does not exist, because there is no cap on how stupid people can be.

Oh, you think it's all a big, fat joke, do you? Think again....



We must be ever vigilant for this sort of thing. After all, Dick Cheney is a suspected, indeed probable, time traveler from the late thirties to the mid-forties Berlin, here to exact revenge. He has done far too well at it.
