bullrun, dude, can you talk about anything aside from “libs”? Maybe make a post about something like … oh, Lord of the Rings. People on the Straight Dope really seem to like Lord of the Rings, for some reason. Bacon and anything related to bacon, also. Maybe you’ll get some respect if you rant about how the damn libs are trying to turn everybody into Subaru-driving lesbian hippie vegetarians, and thus Barack HUSSEIN Obama is going to take your bacon away, or how in Lord of the Rings, the Dark Lord Sauron is the equivalent of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, and that the Hobbits represent real hard working, salt-of-the-earth entrepreneurial Americans from the rural South. Make those rants accessible, man.
What? That’s just his middle name, that’s all. I ain’t implyin’ nothing. He used it when he was inaugurated, and it’s on his Kenyan Muslim Socialist Islamic birth certificate.
Hey, Starving Artist talked to one of those black people once, and they assured him that they took no offense at the hosing, being as they needed a shower and all.
Heeey, watch that shit, “Mark Twain” wrote passable books about children.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens broke your (and my) heart … with a pen warmed up in hell.
Jim Crow law enforcement
Mine owners from around 1870 through 1941 and a bit later
Automobile companies, (particularly Ford) through the 1920s and 1930s
California farming conglomerates
If you are unaware that every one of those outfits can stand “proudly” next to the unions for intimidation, (and actually suffered far less retribution than unions), then you really need to get out more.
In fact, one can make a good case that the unions learned their intimidation tactics at the hands of American business–and no American business has ever been seriously held accountable for the violence it inflicted.
One, I’m not a “Commie;” two, I hate bon-bons; three, the last I heard, crack costs way more than a dime; and hell, I’m fairly liberal and sandals make *me *angry! And, for this not-a-Commie, God still hasn’t been proven to my satisfaction! I don’t deny the existence of a God, but neither do I embrace it. IMPO, you need therapy. And, I’ve met very few sincere religious devotees who are such bigots as to insult themselves by calling Blacks “darkies.” Not only that, but when even illegal immigrants have children who are born in the US, the children are no longer “illegal immigrants” – they are citizens! You’re arrogant, but not in a good way.
Actually, I could use a new pair of sandals, and some flipflops. I mean, the ones I have are cute, don’t get me wrong. But you can never have too many pairs of shoes.
Seriously, I don’t get WHAT the OP has against sandals.
