Rural Legend

What is Rural Legend?


1.

Similar to an Urban Legend a Rural Legend is a popular myth or conspiracy theorythat has become widely disseminated. A Rural Legend differs in that it is widely propagated amongst right wing conservatives, libertarians, evangelicals and government conspiracy theorists who often tend to be found in rural areas. Like an urban legend it is either a gross distortion of the truth or is all together fabricated.

HB(House Bill) 1388 is an Rural Legend claiming that the US congresssecretly passed a bill that negates the 1st and 2d amendments. Some variations claim that it allows for the resettlement of displaced Palestinians and members of Hamasinto the United States.

Other Rural legends are that president Barack Obamais not a natural US citizenbut instead some form of Islamic "Manchurian candidate" or even the " antichrist"

Another claims that FEMAis building internment camps in remote locations of the United States to house dissidents and other "enemies of the state"

Countless other examples abound and many are taken seriously by ill informed and paranoid people. The recent surge in firearms sales in the United States can be seen as a result of rural legends.
