How Did I Ever End Up On A Ku Klux Klan Email List?

It’s been a week of surprises for me for sure. First, I saw 2 Barred Owls just sitting on a tree branch in the forest, then a beautiful Mermaid just sitting on a rock beside our local Quarry lake. Then, just to prove the old saying that “things” happen in 3’s, I somehow end up on an email list where I received content that could only have been written by members of a Ku Klux Klan Klavern.

The spittle and hate filled email is ridiculously titled “Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity”. Blaming this racist rant on Canadians is typical, cowardly behavior for Klukkers. After all, they do like to dress up in white sheets and hoods to disguise their real identities, so it’s no surprise they would be ashamed to admit their real citizenship(???). They are neanderthal, knuckle-dragging low-lifes.

This Top 10 List was sent directly to me by fellow blogger Joe Pitman (Somewhere In Time). I have absolutely no idea whether Joe agrees with the “garbagio” contained in this Klukker’s lament or why he saw fit to forward it directly to me. These Top 10 Klukker Kommandments did end with one good suggestion though:

PLEASE DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR ENTIRE LIST.

Well, my “entire list” is all the readers that follow my blog and I’m only too happy to do what the email message requested so that everyone can see for themselves the kind of stuff that hate filled racists continue to spread around. One way to combat racism is to shine a light on those that continue to practice it every chance we get.

For any Klukkers who might stumble across this post, I’d better explain that in Point 10 the “Obama” referred to is Barack Obama, the twice elected President of the United States and Commander in Chief of America’s Armed Forces. This is a fact that the Klukkers will never be able to get over.

Highlighted text is shown as it appeared in the original email sent to me:

Just makes you wanna shake your head in disbelief. Of course we look like idiots .... because we are. Number 10 Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event. Number 9 Only in America ...could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a  black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics! Number 8  Only in America...could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes. Number 7 Only in America...can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash. Number 6 Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically'  become American citizens (probably should be number one). Number 5 Only in America....could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as EXTREMIST’S. Number 4 Only in America...could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote. Number 3  Only in America...could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company(Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike). Number 2  Only in America collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money. And Number 1 Only in America...could the rich people- who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all. PLEASE DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR ENTIRE LIST.

Here are the other lucky recipients that Joe included on his email list. If Joe should decide to forward me any more Klukker literature, I’ll be sure to “send it out to your entire list”, as requested, and to print the names of those on his email list just in case any readers might want to ask them how to get their names added.

from: Joe Pitman to: Sherri Pitman, Jason Pitman, Dee Walters, Cecil Obrient, Bob Hill, Brice Bertram, Mike Leslie, Sylvia Crooks, Jim Hardin
