What you - the poster - seem to have missed, is that John Semmems’ satire cuts closer to the truth than does the New York Times, Washington Post or LA Times....

The reason some folks take his satire for truth - is that he has caught the “essence” of the target - and exposed it to a glaring light of exposure...

Reading the AZ Conservative - will in fact convey to the busy reader MORE of the REALITY of the situation WITHOUT the actual facts, than most other publications......

True - it is satire, filled with false information - but also filled with the meat of “truth” very close to the bone.

John is a treasure and I look forward to his blistering comments.

I like his stuff too, but Redstate picked up his latest piece and ran it as news.

I appreciate your kind remarks.

Indeed, I am trying to get at the underlying truth behind the words and deeds of those who undermine freedom.

This entails examining discrepancies between words and deeds. It also involves speculating on the thought processes of people like Biden and Obama.

I think people find the made up quotes believable because it seems likely that this is what these guys are thinking or saying in private. Ocassionally, the private statements leak through—like Obama’s denigration of bitter Americans clinging to guns and religion. Given such clues, I don’t think my creative scripting for my satires misrepresents reality.

I hope my ridicule of these people helps to provoke thought and action that will save our liberty.
