Dancing with dirty hippies
October 13th, 2008I really did mean it when I said that I love Morgan. More than anything, I love her because we can disagree … strongly, to say the least … but both still see an individual – a person – when it’s over. She also laughs at herself and can take a joke. Two very clear, early signs of a sane person in a world gone mad.
Recently, we’ve had a tussle over the election. She responded to someone she thought was me, point by point. I think she mistook me for Sean Hannity. (If only I was that cute and had that kinda money. With my intelligence instead of his stupidity … Just, damn. I’d own the world.) She put words in my mouth and did some fierce battle with strawmen using talking points.
I intended to respond, but like most greedy, racist capitalists, I have money to steal from the mouths of poor, black inner-city children named Barack. It’s hard work and if I don’t do it, who will? So I haven’t found the time to respond to her DNC talking points, pivots and distortions one at a time.
This is my penance. (Wherein I come close.)
I’m not voting but I find the pursuit of power fascinating. So I’m a political junkie. I consider it an enemy watch. Seems like she does too.
Even though I think we’re friends, it seems like she has different enemies than me.
Anyway, I posted a very long comment on her blog and then realized it should be posted here. I didn’t intend it to be a blog post, but it became one and being a filthy, stingy, greedy capitalist, I couldn’t let her get all the profit from it.
If you want context, click the link above and pay Morgan’s pimp Google to see her post and the video. Here’s my comment, copy and paste:
Trojan Moose? No kidding?
Ever heard of ACORN or The New Party? (Google ‘em.)
Can I say Trojan Negro without being called a racist? Not likely.
I have no dog in this fight. I’m not voting and I’m not a McCain supporter in the least. In fact, you should also know that I’ve never voted for W and resent the fact that I keep getting forced to defend him- when I don’t agree with him or his policies – by the irrational, retarded, illogical hatred from the hard-core left.
I loved that video and it made me love Sarah and Todd even more. I hang out with people like that and I seek them out.
I cling bitterly to my guns and religion because George W. Bush failed me. (Apparently. That’s what Barry Hussein, the DNC and their chatterboxes all over the TV tell me.)
Do you people ever get out of the circle-jerk long enough to see sunshine?
I refuse to say the pledge of allegiance, too. Unlike your ridiculous atheist friends I refuse to say it not because because it mentions God but because it declares allegiance to a nation that is “indivisible.”
The correct side lost The War for Independence and Lincoln overthrew America. (It was also never about slavery because Lincoln himself was a horrible racist, promised he would never interfere with the slave trade and never did anything to help slaves. But I digress.)
If the original ratifiers of The Constitution had not believed that they were joining a free Union that they could freely leave at any time, there never would have been a united States of America. (Capitalization, or lack thereof, is intentional.)
Every state has the right to secede any time the people of that state so choose. Apparently, they just don’t have the power. Anymore. Thanks to Lincoln.
This is the difference between you and me. I’m a sovereign individual that respects others as individuals.
You prefer the comfort that comes from large groups that can afford to hire others to commit violence on their behalf. So they can remain comfortable and not have to mess up their nails or, y’know, actually see all that icky bloodshed.
Government IS violence. I won’t vote for McCain because he wants more of it. I most certainly won’t vote for Obama because he loves it even more than John.
They seem to differ only on the specifics of where it should be used- mainly – at home or abroad.
And please rid yourself of any notion that I’m a “conservative.” It’s not true and that thinking only confuses you while attempting to understand me.
(“Could you please get that gun out of my face? No, it’s not a racial thing, Senator Obama. I have no problem at all with the color of your skin. It’s the gun you’re pointing at me with which I’m concerned. If you could figure out how to show me the same respect I’m showing you we can avoid a fight.”)
Pfft. I’m glad you got all that out of your system. Now pick your hat up and dust it off. I hate to see you jumping around, and so red in the face. Chill. Relax. Life is groovy, baby. Don’t you know? And while you’re at it, read some porn. That always helps me calm down.
So I responded to the diatribe you left on my “Pot, meet kettle” post. But since we’re now turning our comments into posts, I’ll duplicate my response here:
Um, Digital Cowboy, let me start by asking you a question. Are you really incapable of defending yourself without throwing out stupid insults?
No offense, but it seems you resort to name-calling before you even get to the point and by the time you do you end up in such a self-righteous lather I don’t think you take the time to even check for the holes you leave in your arguments.
Without calling names, I’m going to take what you say point by point.
First of all, ACORN is a reprehensible organization. Everyone knows that. They represent the worst in organized voter fraud and Obama should renounce the funding he gave that group, period.
But voter fraud and dirty tricks are nothing new to Republicans. There are already efforts – reported efforts – of conservative operatives spreading leafelets on college campuses warning young voters that if they show up to vote they’ll be forced to pay for outstanding parking tickets, etc. Flyers with the wrong voting dates were circulated in poor neighborhoods during the last election. So take it for what it’s worth.
Now, per the video. I guess it’s the blonde hair, but I’m confused about how someone who says “Country First,” and blasts Obama for not loving the nation enough can be part of an organization that professes to hate the US.
And you can spare me the history lesson. As a daughter of the South, I know that the war between the states wasn’t about slavery. If it had been, the Emancipation Proclamation would have done away with it completely, and not just in the southern states. Slavery was still alive in well in the North, where free labor was needed to run the Yankee war machine.
The war was to stop secession and I’m glad we lost. Do you really think individual nation-states could survive today? Do you see no purpose to this union at all?
And now to quote from you:
“You prefer the comfort that comes from large groups that can afford to hire others to commit violence on their behalf. So they can remain comfortable and not have to mess up their nails or, y’know, actually see all that icky bloodshed.”
Um. Again you’re off the mark. We have guns, quite a few. My husband even loads his own bullets. If it came to defending my home I’d have no problem whatsoever. Your insults do nothing more than fill space and make your head seem even more empty.
If you’re going to come here and debate me, Cowboy, then man up and take me on like a big boy. Don’t throw verbal slaps like a little girl, okay? It’s unbecoming of the man I suspect you are.
Government is fraught with problem, but it is a necessary evil. We just need to get back to where it’s seen as the servant of the people, and not its master.
I don’t know why I have such a hard time posting here. It’s weird, but my posts just kind of disappear.
Anyhoo, I answered your post here where you originally commented on my post “Pot Meet Kettle.”
I don’t think you’ll like what I have to say, but that’s OK.
And I sent you that thing you wanted, too, although I was kind of surprised you would even ask.
Hippy.
I see now why you invited me over, DC. You seem to be seriously lacking in commenters who can express themselves in more than one word.
You must be quite lonely.
I don’t recall ever inviting you, but I’m glad you’re here.
I suspect I know who Herman is. If I’m right, he’s a close friend and that was a joke.
Don’t worry about my loneliness. I don’t have time to be lonely because government dweebs on small salaries find me fascinating.
Blogging – either here or as a participant elsewhere – is low on my priority list these days. Readership is low as a result. I don’t have time to care.
One last thing… You mentioned that you admire the fact that Barry was a “community organizer” and then say he should distance himself from ACORN. He’s been trying by using his usual tactic of outright lying to downplay his long string of associations with anti-American hate groups.
You do understand that when he lists “community organizer” on his resume that he’s mainly talking about his work with ACORN, right? He didn’t just fund them with millions of foundation money back then. He also worked as a trainer for their terrorists and as their lawyer. He also hired them to commit this particular vote fraud with $832,000 of his presidential campaign money. For the sake of both sides, that was filtered through a front group to try to hide it.
You can’t decry ACORN and separate them from Barack Obama. HE IS ACORN.
And vote fraud isn’t their greatest current crime; they (and Barack) are directly responsible for the current mortgage crisis.
It would be funny if it wasn’t true.
Barack Obama is the most skilled demagogue that has ever lived.
It’s been said that government is a disease masquerading as it’s own cure.
Barry will fit right in.
It’s kind of like Christians, I guess. They say one thing and then do another. ;-)
Maybe he’s just weak, DC….
what? Im agoat.
