Nah, that's just left wing propaganda. You really shouldn't be spreading it, because it damages the country when lies are promulgated.
It's an internet meme. You start with two insane steps, and have a third, unknown step, and the 4th step is PROFIT!
The joke is that the two steps are mildly insane and only slightly related, and the 3rd step is impossible.
Sorry, I'm so accustomed to dealing with people who think profit is a dirty word that whenever I hear the word (especially in the context of the Iraq War) I normally assume the worst.
I guess it's my turn to miss when someone is making a joke.
