I've said it before, I'll say it again, the NeoCons are fucking stupid.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

I have a conservative friend. She's an MBA from a high end school who sends me the "Bad American" email purportedly by George Carlin.

A sample:

YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN
by: George Carlin

I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, try to do it in English

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

It gets worse. You can read a version at Snopes here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/carlin.asp

Did the person who originally wrote this ever see a Carlin routine? Do the people who get this know anything about Carlin's humor or are they so blind in their Rush-induced stupor that they think anything that's written and has good things about Guns and John Wayne has to be the truth?

I have to feel sorry that so many are so fucking stupid. BTW, I did reply with a link to Snopes.

1. Yup.

Dumber than a box 'o rocks.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. A very quick scan proves it's not Carlin. Absence of

Fuck! Damn! and Shit!

Definitely NOT Carlin. :)

[Beelzebud]

4. That and it almost all of it goes against how Carlin looks at things.

Whoever wrote this doesn't know jackshit about Carlin.

6. I thought the same, exact thing!

3. It's a tribute to you that you call her a conservative friend. In your own

way you are influencing her life and miracles do happen, she may become less conservative.

A :toast: to Tom Yossarian Joad

[tabasco]

5. People who have difficulty getting a Big Mac at a McDonald's

are pretty fkkking stupid.

Their hate is so apparent in that line.

7. The next thing you know...

These damn ignorant shits will be spreading a quote attributed to Gandhi that says, "War is good!" Or maybe even one with Thomas Jefferson saying, "The US Constitution that so many people died for is really 'just a piece of paper' and you can ignore it any time you want."

[sweetheart]

8. But i don't hate america?

America, your cars, shiny aeroplanes,
your big buildings and your fancy houses,
your giant factories and your big hotels,
and the huge sports stadiums, who can forget,
and the massive 12 lane freeways of hot black tarmac for miles and miles,
and a brainwashing system of schools to keep the virus subhuman.
America, all your giant tanks and nuclear bombs,
all your beautiful military bases and
rich people so glorious and noble,
Oh america, your magnificent prison on a hill,
with your superthick walls and immigrant-prison wing,
oh america you empty unconquored half-raped woman,
Look down on your baby from the cross and cry.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

9. Holy shit! Reads like a pissed off Carl Sandburg!

Nicely done.

[sweetheart]

10. thanks

I just read my first Carl Sandburg poem, very nice... :-)

No disract to sink your thread, i sometimes wonder whether there is
intelligent life anywhere on the planet, and your threads are an
inspiration, TYJ.

Is anyone out there awake?... slightly conscious or even
remotely not braindead. There are so few signs of intelligent life
on this planet, likely a space probe from mars would not detect any,
only a degenerative cancerous virus that rots out the planet.

Are the neocons stupid? They don't even register, a lifeform lower
than any dog or snake even, lower than a grasshoppper and a cow,
lower than a mite, than an amoeba, more on a par with a virus, not
even as high as a bacteria... really rather extremely nano-horrorshow..

I toast you TYJ, with this dram of fine Ardbeg 12 year old, Islay peaty
single malt, good health, proust, namaste.

As good wishes travel around this planet, a good wish to all who fight for a better world.

Long life and prosper. :toast:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

11. A'ight! An I'll return your wee toast wi' a lift of of fine glass of

a nice, crisp Argentinian Cabernet 2002.

:toast:

12. k

ick... not I, threadkiller

[HornBuckler]

13. one of the many examples

of the right trying to hi-jack the left's genius......

I've posted it before - and got flamed to the core about it btw -

The liberals have a stranglehold on most of the creative genius.

How can you be a proud conservative and listen to the Beatles/Stones/Dylan/Hendrix etc etc etc etc etc

We have carte blanche on the greatest musicians - although every time I bring this up I get flamed. Maybe not now?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

14. You would never be flamed by me on that statement.

It does seem the vast majority of talent rides th eblue bus.

BUT... They do have Ben Stein. :sarcasm:

[HornBuckler]

15. Haha!

Thanks man - I appreciate it -
It's so fucking true though

What/Who does the right have to admire?

a bunch of shit bag politicians? they have so few artists/musicians/comedians to draw admiration from......

the funny thing is - they'd never admit it.
