I have this incredible urge to post a sign outside my house with an arrow pointing to my neighbors across the street Underneath the arrow it will say SHEEP>>>>.
The husband is an ex military whatever or reservist. I don’t know because I wisely did not welcome them to the neighborhood when they moved here. He has an american flag with markers under it. Which I thought was touching actually. But worst of all he has a sign stating vote for Bush on his front lawn. I realize he has been brainwashed to “obey his commanding officer” but I just want to humiliate him.
No I won’t do it. I know he has the right to his opinion. I know he legally has the right to post his political beliefs anywhere on his property. But it just irks me that he could be so unenlightened. And BRAG about it!
I’m appalled by Dubya’s track record and cannort wait to vote for Kerry, but really, I don’t want you on my team. That sort of “my political view makes me enlightened and anyone who disagrees with me does so out of ignorance” attitude isn’t pretty from either side of the political aisle.
You “wisely” did not welcome him to the neighborhood and you want to humiliate him? Just because he put a political sign in his own yard that you don’t agree with? How lovely.
Damn, I had to check this was still the SDMB. Sensualips posts an anti-Bush sheeple thread expecting the usual response, but then gets a pile-on! I am dazed and confused.
You have assumed that just because the man is exmilitary, has a flag on the lawn, and endorses Bush that he is a brainwashed sheep and that he would change his political views if only you could show him the ‘truth’. Your view of politics sound like a Jack Chick tract. You even admit to knowing very little about your neighbor. Yet, you assume he’s a brainwashed sheep.
Somebody is displaying their ignorance and expecting applause for it. But, it’s not your neighbor.
“Somebody is displaying their ignorance and expecting applause for it.” I wasn’t expecting applause, just humor. My booboo.
“I hate Bush but I hate your attitude even more.” Hate is the reason women should be running this country. It is usually irrational.
Well that’ll teach me for expressing my views on such an openminded, tolerant, board. I thought that since I placed it in the PIT I was allowed some leniency. Guess not.
“I am dazed and confused” actually I think someone already has that nickname here.
Without even talking to him? Oddly enough there are plenty of people who might hold different opinions and ideas then you and they’re not all stupid.
I guess we’re old fashioned when it comes to humor. We expect humor to be, you know, humorous.
So you’re hateful feelings towards your neighbor aren’t rational? I guess that’s the first step towards recovery.
When you express yourself as an arrogant self absorbed asshole don’t expect everyone to love you. Hell, if you had a Kerry sign out and your neighbor bitched about you we’d say the same things about him.
“Today the President severed diplomatic ties with Canada. When the Canadian prime minister asked her why she had dones this, the President responded ‘If you really cared about me, you’d know.’ In other news, the bill subsidizing free chocolate for all US citizens remains tied up in commitee.”
