I’m not willing to haggle. You think all those napkin sandwiches were calorie free? No way man. Her ass is so big that last time she went through security at the airport, she was arrested for ten pounds of crack. Badda boom. ---

Which post did you completely misinterpret to come up with that? Since I worked at least one job for 35+ years, obviously I did work to earn my Social Security. Of course, since you seem to think you know the size of my ass, that I have bunions (??) on my feet while completely ducking any response to my dare, I’d say you have once again proven one of my points - this one being many of you all pull facts out of your ass to try to “prove” the “truth” of your claims. > [@](#): > > The best thing you could do for your “cause” Here is another one - I have no “cause”. ---

Splendid! Then the “shutting the fuck up and never mentioning it again” portion shouldn’t require much effort on your part. You can even manage it while you’re sprawled on your mildewed sofa, gaping hang-jawed at _The View_ while waiting for the mailman to deliver the check I worked every day the past month to help fund. ---

This, more than anything else, is why I am a liberal. I don’t think that I, and I alone, have THE TRUTH; I am humble enough to admit that I may be wrong. But the perception that I get from the conservative movement in this country is not that people like me are misguided or ill-informed or even stupid - no, we’re clearly traitors. Evil. In league with the Commies/Al-Qaeda/babykillers/Satan. People who think the way I do need to be not persuaded but exorcised. Seriously, conservatives - if you want to persuade me and people like me that what we advocate is wrong, take your cue from David Brooks, not Sean Hannity. ---

Please. Liberals have been calling conservatives evil for years. You may not personally believe that conservatives are evil, but trying to aergue tjhat you are on the side that doesn’t engage in such name-calling and villifying is just ridiculous. ---

(Assuming you are correct) So what? 80+ million conservatives are ipso-facto EVILLL because one guy who shares their ideology is? ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > Yes. That is exactly and literally what I said. You take that and run with it. Well, as far as the old knees will let you get, grandpa. Well, let’s take a look at the chronology, shall we? **RR** : Liberals have been calling conservatives evil for years. **Silenus** : Is it name-calling when it’s true? **RR** : I’m actually proud to call myself evil as such term is defined by typical SDMB liberals. **Shot From Guns** : If Karl Rove isn’t an evil, lying, manipulative sack of shit, I don’t know who is. Now, if you didn’t intend that remark as some sort of evidence that conservatives in the main tend toward evil, I’d like very much to know what your real point was. And I’m happy to report that in the summertime my knees and the rest of me are fully capable of mowing my sister’s lawn, both of my neices’ lawns, and a neighbor’s lawn (single lady in her late sixties), all on the same day and in 110 degree heat to boot. So you can take your dismissals based on my age and shove 'em…dearie! 😉 ---

I don’t discuss things with you, **SA** , because you’ve proven yourself grossly incompetent at being able to assimilate any knowledge or opinions that are based on anything but your own life experience. So, I repeat, you go ahead and think whatever you like–you’re going to anyway, and I’m not going to waste my breath (fingers?) in a vain attempt to convince you of anything you’re not already dead-certain about. ---

Yeah, I’ve seen neighborhoods like that in Detroit and Cleveland. We call them postage stamp yards and talk about mowing them with Remington razors. 40’ X 60’ lots with 30’ X 40’ houses plus garage, driveway, and sidewalks. 😃 ---

We call them postage stamp yards and talk about mowing them with Remington razors. 40’ X 60’ lots with 30’ X 40’ houses plus garage, driveway, and sidewalks. I wish. 😃 Just measured our lawn. Turf areas (not counting house or drive) are as follows: Front yard: 72’ X 87’ = 6,264 sq. ft. Back yard: 66’ X 75’ = 4,950 sq. ft. Total area:0000000=11,214 sq. ft. Two of the other houses are roughly the same size with the third being a corner lot and quite a bit larger. So there! Put that in your smipe and poke it! 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/teabaggers-mock-man-with-parkinsons/533009.md?page=14) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/teabaggers-mock-man-with-parkinsons/533009.md?page=16)
