Do it! Ban abortion! Break S.S.! Deny Gay Rights! Ignore Racism! |
|
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 04:46 PM by JanMichael
Give up on Living Wages! To hell with National Health Insurance!
Abortion? I'm a man, won't ever need an abortion, and it's icky and loses elections anyway.
Social Security? Got a good pension already plus old relatives with money, the CBO numbers are bull, don't need it.
Gay Marriage? My wife would kill me, it loses elections, don't need it.
Racism? I'm "White", addressing that can only affect me negatively, don't need that.
Living Wages? Already got them, at least I do, don't need it.
Health Insurance? I'm healthy, Insured through my job and 36, don't need it.
Am I still a Progressive/Liberal/Democrat?

1. Unless this is satire, no you are not a Liberal. |
|
Giving up fighting this battle is just as good as fighting for the other side.
(If this is satire, it may be more appreciated in the Lounge.)

i am still so pissed about this election that I too think, hell just give them what they want. They voted for it. Give 5 or 10 years of what they asked for. They won't like it, I guarantee it.
Then i calm down a bit and come back to reason.

19. I've been thinking of the US as a drunk |

We may have to hit rock bottom, before we decide to admit we as a nation have a problem and need to fix it.

5. Cut down all the Redwoods too, who needs 'em. |

I don't live in California anyway.
Dump sewage in the water: We'll all just shower with Pellagrino.
Then go 'round an yell Merry Christmas at the top of your lungs in malls: I made all my presents this year- no chance of running into you.
Don't bother counting all the votes: This is the New America where elections are just a formality.
:party:Happy New Year: Loved your post

where it belongs. And for God's sake (get it?) let's get some judges with some balls on the Supreme Court and gut this Bill of "Rights" like a fish.

8. Good effin' god, how do we get a message to these idiots? |
|
Are they not aware what's going on in place like DU. Are they too stupid to realize that this movement has legs, that we are not going let them go right anymore. Why run if you can't get the support to win? How are they going to win if they only court republicans and are continually slapping us in the face?
You know, in America all answers come down, one way or another, to money. I haven't worked it all out, but you can bet there's some dirty shit behind this.

16. Thanks. I had a momentary loss of memory. |

That "Felon" Purge thing is probably number one recently along with the "spoiled ballot" problem.

17. As soon as I heard hundreds of "Poll Challengers" were headed for OH |
|
on Nov. 2nd I knew this was a felon purge by another name. And we all know who got singled out.

15. They don't have to "suggest" ignoring it. |
|
It's simply done.
Certainly not by all.

"Your reply says quite a lot! HAHAHAHAHA Ignoring all of the other social ills is Ok to you then."
How exactly do you get that I think ignoring all other social ills than racism is a-okay? You just made it up, I assume?
