Addison Graves Wilson Sr., aka Joe Wilson, is the U.S. Congressman representing the 2nd District of South Carolina and the finest traditions of Southern Courtesy. As you may have heard, he interrupted a speech by the President of the United States during a Joint Session of Congress to call the Chief Executive a liar.
PolitiFact indicates that it was actually Mr. Wilson who uttered the untruth. Apparently the Congressman did not base his stridently erroneous opinion on the legislation in question, but put his faith in an anonymous chain email instead.
Any resemblance of Mr. Wilson’s likeness to Big Boy, a registered trademark of Big Boy Restaurants International LLC, is purely coincidental. Okay, we lie, but we use it under the satire provisions of the Fair Use Doctrine.

Actually, Mr Wilson is wrong. Basically, the it is the media who are the liars. They have and are lying about eveything Obama and that bunch of communists in Congress are doing and are planning to do to this nation. Their agenda is to please and appease the world and the EU and its proponents for a New World Order and to destroy the nation of Israel. Their plan for a New World Order cannot succeed with our nation strong and soveriegn. So, American as we have known it must be brought down! Obama and his cronies in Congress do not and will never honor our Constitution and it principles. They are dedicated to destroying our ONE NATION UNDER GOD! The only true God.

Oh. That explains why your comments and those of Mr. Wilson do not seem to conform with the facts — the facts are wrong. Got it. You and Mr. Wilson get the real facts from “The only true God,” personally. Tell Him we said “Hello” next time you speak with Him.
Their plan for a New World Order
The New World Order described by that Communist George Herbert Walker Bush or that Bolshevik Woodrow Wilson? And where do those Medicare-hogging illegal aliens fit in, the ones that make President Obama a liar?
Have a nice day and watch out for the black helicopters.
