Politically Pugnacious

May 23, 2008 15:31

When I was a kid there was a very stupid game where someone would run up and punch your arm, then immediately yell "No backs!" Meaning "I can swipe at you but you can't swipe at me." It was stupid then and it's stupid now. I punched back then and I punch back now. FOR INSTANCE I can't believe a grown man I work with starts political conversations ( Read more... )

I don't want to argue with you, being that you're right and all.

The easiest way to end this argument would be to get a recording of Jeff Dunham's character Walter saying "dumbass" and just play it every time he opens his mouth.

dude...there's a difference between an argument ad a pissing contest, as my dear old departed daddy used to say.

and what happens when the shite hits the fan...

Urine Deepshit...

Hagee and Parsely,no Sage, it's Rosemary Thyme adds no spice to their conversation.

America's chickens have come home to roost?...at least the biggest Cocks have!

Here I am.

But I'm sorry, you can't convince me that when there are two wrongs, just because one is more wrong, it makes the less wrong one OK.

But that guy just sounds like a douche.

Where we disagree, Lon, is over the issue of whether Wright was wrong. So much of what he said is simple objective fact. Al Qaeda didn't attack us because they hate our freedom. They attacked us because we have military bases on their holy soil. "Chickens coming home to roost" doesn't mean "you deserved it." It connotes the much more meaningful - and, I believe, spiritual - "you reap what you sow." America is a society that nurtures violence. For instance, Iran, our "deadly enemy!" in the Mideast, has a defense budget merely 1% of our own. Even China itself spends only 1/10th what we spend on its military. We are purveyors of violence. The only way to deny that is to stick your fingers in your ears and bellow "LALALALALALALALA!" until you go blue and pass out. So the idea that a group might, finally, attack US on OUR soil should not have come as such a great shock. It happens everywhere else on earth. Often with weapons marked "Made In The USA." So our chickens came home to roost. Wright (who, BTW, was quoting someone else when he ( ... )
