I WANT TO BET WITH STUPID

These two should loan their tin foil hats to Ga. Rep. Repug. Paul Broun, who is among those warning of the dire consequences of an Obama Administration and who think he is a secret Muslim plotting with terrorists to destroy Israel and turn America into a Muslim and/or Socialist and/or Marxist and/or Gestapo run country


To all of the wingnuts out there predicting disaster while cowering in their basements in their tinfoil hats to ward off government mind control rays, and to all of the bellicose Conservative Pundits living in their right wing fantasy world in a parallel universe who have managed a near 100% failure rate on their observations and predictions during the Bush Era, I have a proposition for you. Get 99 of your friends, and each of you put up $1,000 against my $100,000.00. I will bet that none of the following actual honest to goodness wingnut predictions I have received via e-mail, sourced from the Internet (so they must be true! No further checking necessary!) occurs within 2 years of Barack Obama being sworn in and assuming the presidency:

(1) Barack Obama is sworn into office on a Koran, reveals he was a Muslim after all and announces that we are now a Muslim nation.

(2) Barack Obama announces that he was a terrorist (or a supporter of Hamas/Al Qaida/ the PLO/ radical Pakistani religious group) and that he will now use U.S. planes to bomb U.S. cities and/or take over the United States in the name of (the previous organization or any Islamic group).

(3) Barack Obama states that the United States is now a (you can pick either one) Socialist/Communist country and all industry and wealth is now owned by the government and all wealth will be redistributed to the poorest and those who refuse to work.

(4) Barack Obama dismantles the U.S. military and surrenders to (pick any of these) Al Qaida/Iran/Kenya/any other African or Asian nation.

(5) Barack Obama will admit that he wasn't born in the United States of America (or a legitimate birth certificate will show up that conclusively proves it in the view of the major news organizations, including Washington Post & New York Times).

(6) An investigation by any governmental agency or responsible news organization (again, Washington Post & NY Times must agree on this one) proves that Democratic voter fraud or ACORN voter fraud allowed Barack Obama to win the election.

(7) President Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.

(8) President Obama will ban gun ownership by Americans.

(The last two were added to pay homage to Georgia Congressman Paul Brown, who aptly describes his own mental faculties: "It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is,.... I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may - may not, I hope not - but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.")


Off the top of my head I can't think of any other crazy crap that's been floating around the Internet. But if you point it out to me I'll add it to the list. [Note: this post has already changed to add # 7 and #8.] Remember, all you need is one of the above batshit insane things to occur and you get $1,000 and I lose $100,000.00 Surely you can find at least 99 other people wearing tinfoil helmets who believe everything sent to them via e-mail or that shows up on the internet (else the Nigerian oil minister would be broke by now).

My point is that I would really like to see the purveyors of this crap put some money in my pocket. We can select a trustworthy stakeholder. If you can't find 99 others to match, you can put up as much as you want, up to $100,000.00. The deadline for accepting this offer is November 30, 2008.

(Note to first poster who comments that he has never seen any of these predictions on the Internet: Read Rep. Broun's statements on #7, which was added after your post, and go to Conservapedia's entry on Barack Obama: "President-elect Obama could become the first Muslim President to be sworn into office at his inauguration on January 20, 2009, possibly using the Koran.[4]..... Obama is the first person having ties to a known former terrorist to gain control over America's nuclear weapons" http://www.conservapedia.com/Obama
