Game Plays Out 2011 Obama Coup

Ron Paul fans behind scenario, which also finds Glenn Beck dead

(Newser) – For the burgeoning ranks of political paranoids, a scenario in which President Obama dissolves the Constitution, bans guns and drags the US into a union with Mexico and Canada seems not all that far-fetched. Now, thanks to some Ron Paul supporters, you can prepare for 2011 (yep, that soon!) with an online game called United States of Earth.

In the game, “patriots” fight to take back the country from Obama—who’s declared himself the “Legendary Lost Imam”—and the Cong, leftovers of the Democrat-controlled Congress. Glenn Beck is dead, but with Michelle Malkin firing up the troops with a second Declaration of Independence, victory is at hand. So why, libertarians, make Obama the target? “For the most publicity,” one tells Mother Jones. “There's a lot going on with Fox, the White House, and we wanted to capitalize on that.”

The right-wing fundamentalist christian game where the "believers" killed the "non-believers" for points was just as desperate ... the right wing uses games to lure in their base because truth and fact and intelligent discourse would never work with the lower IQ crowd.

It's (i used an apostrophe because it is a contraction - as in, there is a letter missing it is = it's ; just want to make that clear before the forces of grammar unleash themselves upon me!) anyway, IT'S A GAME! Treat it as such. Censorship may start out with good intentions, but there is not one historical precedent of it ending well.

Guys I created a new game. It's called 9/11 THE TRUTH. It's pretty good. To win, you have to convince possibly hundreds of federal employees to take part in the conspiracy, and then after the deed, you will have to spend the rest of the game keeping them all quiet. So I guess it's kind of tedious, lots of meetings and paperwork...but should be fun!
