TD,
Nice rant. I'll rate it a Niner out of Teen. You are simply not mean enough. Some of us can hurl a lot more vitriol and invective. Ironically, I felt sorry for Jowl-of-the-Pest and had to go back and edit what I'd written to her because I could not stand to be as foul, vindictive, evil and selfishly uncaring as she is. I hope she appreciates it.

Attempting to carry on an intellectual debate with the “wingers” is in reality a lost cause
Not all the time. Occasionally one simply needs to engage in some primal screaming. They are, of course, coarse and impossibly dull. But that's not the point of the exercise. Sometimes one is simply in need of the catharsis of clearly hurling a javelin of jive through the heart of contrived.
Of course, I could just devolve into the maelstrom of mendacity and light up me-Nora (how many got this joke?) on this thread:

But I digress. Exactly which knight of Christmas is this anyway? I'm seeking an epiphany...... or was that a Stephanie?.... but I digress...

You say the manliest man things:
Prime example is the “blood thirsty” cry of want-to-be machos who have never wore the uniform of military activist
Well, following in John Wayne's footsteps, I got into my uniform in my youth on the barricades that we were erecting against the military-industrial complex in Madison. Blue jeans, bandanas and gloves to toss the pepper spray canisters back at da man. I was proud of my kinship to the irregulars at Bunker Hill and that legendary tea party in Boston (What wuz dey smokin? Did de toss da darjeeling and hoo ahh wid da bud?). We poked fun at, if not the eye out of, the Red Coats. Hellbent as they were on suppressing Injuns in Pleiku, Khe San, Kham Ran Bay, the Montagnard Distict and the red light district in Pubic Bay on R&R. (Rum&Racks). Semper Fi! Syphillus? Fie!

If the lack of military history isn’t enough, when you toss in the parallels to Hitler’s game plan of fooling the naïve public with charges of being “non-patriotic” if you didn’t buy into his lust for genocide and world domination, we now find the “wingers” accusing the common men and women of this country of not having a job because they support the transferring of such jobs overseas.
Anyone, like Jowl-of-the-Bowel, who supports George Bush is a traitor to America. They are reprehensible and vulgar. They are excrescences of bile who would sell their mothers for the parts. They sell a downer cow and rot an American's brains for a C-Note. Free markets, baby! Gimme some a dat lovin'! But they don't have to care about that brain they rotted becase they already shipped that fool's job to Bangalore or Shanghai. Time to just part this fellow out. Such a sad parting, notwithstanding. Graduates can't find jobs? Just stuff 'em in front of a VCR and let 'em watch Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft cavort.

However, I would challenge anyone to deny (denial being the favorite discourse for those lost in the defense of their fanaticism) that the Great Depression in this country was caused by the unequal distribution of wealth.
The Vanderbilts, Astors, Mellons, Rockefellers, Roosevelts and Kennedys never sufferd a depression. What are you talking about? No one important suffered. Jowl-in-a-Towel can relate. Not, mind you, to humanity. But to her class of asses.

The Revenue Act of 1926 promoted and signed into law by one Calvin Coolidge, which reduced federal income and inheritance taxes.
"The only thing new in this world is the history you haven't read." -- Harry Truman.....
You know what? I wasn't familiar with this 1926 Act. That's fascinating. And it explains a lot more than what Dorothy Parker said after Coolidge died: "Who could tell?"

But as to this issue of jobs being moved overseas and the parallels in that dastardly realm of HISTORY that is forgotten by the wingers, it appears that most of them are too young to have lived during the GREAT DEPRESSION.
Are you f*cking kidding me? Everyone's living through the great depression. How couldn't we be? Why is 1/3 of this nation on anti-depressants? Because they've all become convinced they aren't real men. Or whatever Jowl-of-the-Hindquarters is. There is no place for humanity in the brave new world order that the shrub family is creating. Now that's depressing.
Merry Christmas |
