My photo essay, "EVIL, LIBERAL MASSACHUSETTS!"

[Bluebear]

Well, the frost is on the pumpkin. Everywhere in Massachusetts, us vile morally lacking liberals are preparing for the winter.




Mark McKinnon, a longtime senior media adviser to Bush, was talking about us up here when he told Ron Suskind: "....up and down the West Coast, the East Coast, a few blocks in southern Manhattan called Wall Street. Let me clue you in. We don't care. You see, you're outnumbered 2 to 1 by folks in the big, wide middle of America, busy working people who don't read The New York Times or Washington Post or The L.A. Times. And you know what they like? They like the way (Bush) walks and the way he points, the way he exudes confidence. They have faith in him. And when you attack him for his malaprops, his jumbled syntax, it's good for us. Because you know what those folks don't like? They don't like you!''




And who can blame him. Everyone here is on welfare, being liberals, you know, and it is a festering cauldron of sin since that gay marriage ruling came down. Sex on every corner. Disgusting.






Us evil liberals are fixated on taking the family values away from "heartland America". We are not heartland, we're just far out drug-addled folk, ya know. And we want to change the rest of America with our liberal politicians, too.



Our President says Massachusetts is "out of touch" with real America.




It's hard, we wish we could be normal like the "mainstream" but we're so...so different! No values. No ethics. It's not easy being us.





Anyhow, come up sometime...IF YOU DARE. We're sure to corrupt ya. It's hell on earth here, the Republicans tell you that every day!

1. Now I want to move to NH.

Wow.

[Bluebear]

2. C'mon up, baby, but beware!

We're wild. Wild, I tell ya :)

[XanaDUer]

6. It's seriously gorgeous.

And it takes a lot for me to say that.

:hi:

[papau]

3. Very Nice - explains why some folks took a cut in pay to live here

:-)

[Cerridwen]

4. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Wish I could find a job there. Yep, I've been looking. Now and again. Ever since I visited *mumble* *mumble* years ago.

Absolutely beautiful. You even have seasons. *sigh*

:hi:

[Stephanie]

5. Can you imagine if Kerry made sneering caustic remarks about Texans?

What if Kerry said Texans are ignorant rednecks?

[Bluebear]

11. We've allowed that side to make us villains.

that's what prompted this little essay!

[Kukesa]

7. How lovely -- how absolutely lovely. Thanks a bunch. n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

8. Love it!

Thank you for posting your photo essay.

[Vickers]

9. Dude, why did you Photoshop all the devil worshippers out?

:shrug:

Seriously, your post brings in to sharp focus the divisions the neocons have brought to this country. We are all pretty much the same and want the same things, and they have convinced people we are fundamentally different.

Our differences are our strength!

[Bluebear]

10. It took a lot of doing. Why, there was "666" clearly visible in the ocean.

But I shopped it right out of there. bwahahahaha.

[glitch]

12. Beautiful! and funny - thanks for sharing! nt

[union_maid]

13. I was in Evil MA last weekend

Was sooo horrible. It was in one of the most evil parts - the Berkshires - colleges, music, art. Almost as bad as Boston. So decadent that there's almost nothing open after midnight. They get all their devil worshipping done during the day!

Was with a bunch of old hippies, too. From all over the country. Indiana, Texas and places like that. I hope they don't get reported to the home office or anything.

[polmaven]

21. If you are really looking for evil,

you need to come back in two weeks, but to the other side of the state. Living next to "The Witch City" I can tell you that, as wicked as was May 17, it can still run only a close second to the evil that is Halloween in Salem.

[whalerider55]

14. thanks...

moved to MA 22 years ago. c'mon in, folks, the water's fine.

remember, MA was the only state that went for McGovern, and that Ed Meese was once asked if he'd ever been to a communist country- and his answer was yeah, been to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

ahh... the good old days.

[MassLiberal]

18. yep, remember the post-Watergate bumper sticker...

"Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts"--those sure were the good old days.

Thanks for the beautiful pics of my great home state!!

28. Hi MassLiberal!

15. I really miss home, i was born and raised in Medford Mass

and lived there until i was 30. I live in california now but hopegully we will move back there someday. My dream is to retire at Chatham.

[Arkana]

16. Wow, I never realized how evil my home state was

Now I have to move to RI. :)

[renegade000]

17. CRAZY EVIL MASSACHUSETTS LIBERALS

[whalerider55]

19. buncha...

long-haired radicals.

[Bluebear]

20. oooh they look WILD-EYED!

[WildEyedLiberal]

24. We WILD EYED LIBERALS are the best kind!

...Even if I am from the aw-shucks Heartland, myself. So, I'm not sure I'm as evil as you.

[Bluebear]

30. No, you can't be as evil as we are out here

But we'll work on you, as you know.

[bicentennial_baby]

22. I truly love my state

Thanks for the reminder. :thumbsup:

[Rockholm]

36. I LOVE MASSACHUSETTS!!!!!!!

[UdoKier]

23. AH, WICKED TAXACHUSETTS!

You should see the horrors that take place here in San Francisco!

Approximately 15% of the population is apparently GAY!!!!! And another 5% or so look "hippie-ish". And worst of all, even the majority of us who are straight and dress "square" - we get along with and like them just fine. In fact, we're often just as liberal as they are!

There are demonic "peace sign" stickers on some cars, why. men even feel free to walk HAND-IN-HAND in the Castro!!!!

Honestly, if I could, I'd pack up and move to a civilized bastion like Dallas, TX or Salt Lak City, but it's hard to go, what with the affordable housing and wonderfully reasonable cost of living here in the Bay Area. ;)

[sr_pacifica]

26. Ha ha

San Francisco used to be my home. Now I live in equally affordable Santa Cruz County!

[UdoKier]

27. Did you live in Pacifica?

It's not quite as chilly here in the Richmond, but my sweatshirts really earn their pay. Pacifica is a cute town, and really underrated.

I haven't been to Santa Cruz yet, but I'd like to sometime. My knowledge of it is basically the movie "The Lost Boys" and the damage to the downtown from the Loma Prieta quake on TV. I understand it's a pretty quirky place.

[sr_pacifica]

29. Sweatshirts

I'd say they are the most useful garment up and down the northern/central coast of California.

Udo, I live, actually, in Corralitos, near Watsonville, which is south of Santa Cruz and not very quirky. If you think Pacifica is cute, you'd love the little hamlet of Corralitos.

My impression of Pacifica is---too overcast, brrr.

But we all share one thing---I'm sure we are all on Bush's shit list.

[sr_pacifica]

25. I really like Massachusetts

And if I wasn't allergic to cold winters, I might move there. I like the culture, people---what I know of it. My sister lives in New Hampshire and I visit Mass. everytime I visit her and her family.

I think its absolutely disgusting the devisive remarks Bush makes. Imagine if Kerry started talking about NeoCon Texans. "Blah, blah, blah, ...the NeoCon Texan George W. Bush." Of course, he never will, because he believes in Uniting the Country, not Dividing it, unlike George fucking "W" Bush.

:grr:

[Sleepless In NY]

31. Wish Kerry would say: "Dont Mess with Massachusetts"

Just once! Such a beautiful state with such a rich history.

"Massachusetts" has become bush's code word for "that place they let gays marry" to his right wing nut jobs. I wonder if bush ever considers the sons and daughters of Massachusetts that are fighting in Iraq, in his war. Wish someone would remind him.

[tilsammans]

32. I am a liberal BECAUSE OF Massachusetts!

My dad's family is from Mass, and I've spent lots of time there over the years. It's definitely influenced my political thinking.

Your photo essay is very clever -- thanks for posting it!

[dddem]

33. And to top it off...

The Sox won last night!(not that I'm getting my hopes up - this is the Sox after all!)
I love Massachusetts, and I love that we piss off Bush! I've never felt so proud!
Now I'll get in my cah and go get some chowda.

[VaYallaDawg]

34. Hey, PlasticTurkeys

Thanks for the terrific photos. They make me very envious. I live in a beautiful state too, but unfortunately it got overrun with the mouth-foamers about 20 years ago.

[Fla Dem]

35. You brought a tear to my eye. I miss my Massachuetts home.

[wicket]

37. I am a PROUD Massachusetts resident

Thank-you for posting this!!! :) :thumbsup:

[Mad_Dem_X]

38. Wonderful pictures!

There's nothing like the Northeast in the autumn. I've been to Vermont twice and would go back again in a heartbeat. :)

[Tracer]

39. A lovely photo essay, PT.

But just as an aside, I would like to permanently put to rest the term "Taxachusetts".

It is a FACT that Massachusetts is 36th in terms of taxation.

[Bluebear]

40. Thanks for everyone's gracious comments

Much appreciated.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

43. It's actually 40th in overall tax burden, #1 in education, #2 in wages

and conversely, way up there in cost of living.

[skippysmom]

41. This horrible, evil, un-American Masshole

thanks you very much.

[elperromagico]

42. Yew Massachewsits libruls with yer fancy camras and proper grammur!

Hell on earth, I tells ya!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

44. Thank you-and Mass. is even more beautiful than your pics!
