Right. Because being a greedy-racist-idiot-bigot-coward is clearly better. You, RMTex, batman & others are just as guilty of stereotyping & villifying the riceboys, basso, Republicans, and conservatives in general as they are of yall, Democrats, and liberals. Which makes all you guys pretty much useless in a civilized exchange of ideas.
In some ways you're right Buck. I stand guilty as charged at times. But... There was a time when liberals and democrats would just limply stand back and take the insults. Not anymore.
That would have been the 90's, right? When the Dems were winning elections...instead of losing half the electorate to that greedy-racist-idiot-bigot-coward Bushboy. The GOP's been playing the rope-a-dope with y'all for a number of years. And it's painful to watch it work so effectively. Ugh! ANd Gary...where the frick did you get that poster???? Between that (the Commodore is a venue in Vancouver that hosted some great music -- and had a spring loaded floor that bounced up and down -- I saw the Smugglers a bunch back in the day -- but must have missed the libpigs and leaky dicks) and the Smiths thread in the Hangout -- I just may have to go out and see some music this weekend.
I know, and to an extent I can't say I blame you. The tenor of public discourse during the Clinton Years and the demonization of the very word "liberal" by the partisan right made me very, very upset. Currently, the leadership of both parties just pisses me off to no end.
Bingo. If the Democratic Party continues its apparent Kos-MoveOn-ification, it's doomed for the next few years. And that wouldn't be good for anybody, or the country.
Drinking is down due to the meds I'm on, but everything else is the same. Actually, chasing the seizure meds with a rum & diet coke is a nice end of the workday buzz.........
bnb, the libpigs are awesome you should check them out- batman jones- drums, mc mark- rhythm guitar, RocketMan- lead guitar, thadeus- vocals. i sometimes sit in and play the cowbell. don't laugh, the cowbell is one of the most underappreciated instruments in rock and roll. as for the leaky dicks, they are a trio and more of a choir than anything else. basso- bass, T_J- tenor and of course bigtexxx- soprano. they are not my cup of tea, the only musical accompaniment is the recorder, which they all play.
Chuck Norris stood on top of a mountain and proclaimed I AM A LIBPIG. theGary hit him across the face with an electric guitar and roundhouse kicked him in the groin. With tears streaming down his face, Chuck Norris returned to the top of the mountain and said "OK, I'm really a registered Republican after all".
