So I'm laying in bed the other night watching the news and a story comes up about President Obama and the whole "birther" issue comes up. I lay there thinking this is just stupid. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about our President being a natural born citizen of the US. But, just because our present one has a name that isn't real popular because of all of the turmoil in and from the middle east over the past 10 years it is an issue. Anyway, this guy
Leo Berman pops up ranting on about how our Presidents birth certificate isn't good enough, blah..blah..blah. I think to myself he is an idiot and turn the TV off. So the next morning I email him to let him know what I think. Below is the chain of emails between us.
From: ME
I am ashamed that you represent our state. It is ridiculous to keep bringing up the subject that our president is not a natural born citizen. He is, stop beating a dead horse.
As a senator you are expected to address and deal with real issues not nonsense like this. When our country and state are facing the most difficult times in recent history this is what you think is important to talk about and spend your time on? Shame on you. Please spend your time on matters that will make a difference and not just bring your name to the limelight.
Concerned and Naturally born US and Texas citizen,
Richard Montgomery
From: Mr. Berman
And I'm ashamed that you are a Texan who believes the manufactured garbage that came out of the White House. You have to be a good Socialist to forget the fact that since Obama's father is Kenyan and not a US citizen, he is ineligible to be President even if he was born on Mars. It must do your heart good to see this man destroy our great nation. Don't respond, I won't open or read it. Goodbye. LB
From: ME
Oh really? You did, you just opened it. Ha ha I win, now get to work. Since it's obvious you're not doing anything today besides writing back and bantering with me do something useful and make me a sandwich. Please reply, I'll open it and read it.
I look forward to more feedback,
Richard
So far he hasn't written me back but I'm hoping to hear from him again real soon. I'm not holding my breath though. Oh Good times! This just goes to show that although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, and keyboard, old crotchety republicans do serve a purpose. That purpose, my and your ammusement. By the way my favorite sandwich would be PB&J w/ grape jelly just in case your wondering.
Enjoy,
dic
