Okay. I need a response to this.

[devilgrrl]

Anyone get this obnoxious GOP christmas wish?

For My Democratic Friends:

"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress,
non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious
persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with
respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of
others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions
at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the of the generally accepted
calendar year 2007, but not with out due respect for the calendars of
choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make
America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any
other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . And
without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability,
religious faith or sexual preference of the wishers.

By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This
greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no
promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is
revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted
to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for
a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday
greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement
of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the
wisher."


For My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Greg

What a pile of feigned crap.

[MrCoffee]

2. I find that "Fuck you, you inbred moron" works for all occasions

[Az]

3. Jus tell them

May you be joyous no matter what you celebrate.

Its a time of joy. Going negative means they win. Let them be the one on the moral lowground. You hold the highground.

[Jim__]

4. To all my friends, happy Holidays.

It's not worth further comment.

[Lerkfish]

Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican



By John Gray Cincinnati, Ohio - [e-mail] -
July - 2004
As read by Thom Hartmann, Dec 19th, 2006

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee.
He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water
because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum
water quality standards.

He takes his daily medication with his first swallow
of coffee. His medications are safe to take because
some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their
safety and work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his
employers medical plan because some liberal union
workers fought their employers for paid medical
insurance, now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this
day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man
liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing
industry.

Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo;
His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient
and the amount of its contents because some crybaby
liberal fought for his right to know what he was
putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath.
The air he breathes is clean because some
environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop
industries from polluting our air.

He walks to the subway station for his government
subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable
money in parking and transportation fees. You see,
some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public
transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity
to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with
excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid
holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union
members fought and died for these working standards.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll
get a worker compensation or unemployment check
because some stupid liberal didn’t think he should
lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he
can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured
by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to
protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who
ruined the banking system before the Republican Great
Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage
and his below market federal student loan because some
elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government
would be better off if he was educated and earned more
money over his life-time.

Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father
this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets
in his car for the drive to dad's; his car is among
the safest in the world because some America-hating
liberal fought for car safety standards.

He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third
generation to live in the house financed by Farmers
Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to
make rural loans. The house didn’t have electric until
some big government liberal stuck his nose where it
didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification.
(Those rural Republican’s would still be sitting in
the dark)

He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad
lives on Social Security and his union pension because
some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he
could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to.

After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for
the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show, the host
keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives
are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved
Republicans have fought against every protection and
benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) As he hears
Rush say, "Roosevelt is dead. His policies may live on
but we're in the process of doing something about that
as well," Joe agrees, saying, “We don’t need those big
government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m
a self made man who believes everyone should take care
of themselves, just like I have”.

17. Being in a festive, generous mood, I am sending this to all my freeper acquaintances...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. This Was Actually Pretty Funny. It's OK For Us To Lighten Up Sometimes, Not Take Things So

seriously and recognize when something is well done and humorous.

Hey, it might be stereotyping us inappropriately and is from the side of our political 'enemies' etc etc, but ya still can't tell me it wasn't funny.

This is one I actually found to be quite benign, well done and definitely in a lighthearted humorous tone.

[Az]

20. It better be ok for us to laugh

Cuz have you ever seen a conservative try to tell a joke? Laugh, wish them the best whatever they celebrate and keep the highground.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

21. I got one. Boring.

[teenagebambam]

22. My father-in-law

is a "Limbaugh Republican", AND a rabid atheist. He might take offense at the last line.

[Shakespeare]

23. If the show were on the other foot, a wingnut would respond with frothing rage.

Yes, you should do the magnanimous thing and be gracious about it, because that's who we are as liberals. That's a reflection of the kind of person you are. However, it doesn't explain away or excuse the fact that the person who thought it was funny to send this--expecting to get a rise out of liberals--is a complete and utter jackass.

[Trajan]

24. How about "Happy Holidays" ? ....

I mean really ... why waste your breath with these numbskulls ? ...

[uppityperson]

25. "Thank you." Drives bullies nuts when you don't respond.

[TahitiNut]

26. How pharisaical of them.

:eyes:

[roamer65]

27. Respond with "Happy Holidays".

That's enough to send any Kool-Aid drinking Faux News lover into orbit.

[applegrove]

28. If you don't respond to a wedge when it is presented to you..it goes away..

like a tree falling in a forest...nobody hears

[SmokingJacket]

29. For some reason, no one ever sends me Republican crap.

I'm a woman, and on the short side, but I'd give someone a fat lip if they sent me that.
