They kicked me Out!! Just because I'm a leftist!! |
|
Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 11:39 AM by BeFree
I got nowhere to go and no one loves me.
My large family has kicked me out and won't even listen to me anymore. Sure I told them they should quit buying into the corporations and give up all that crap they buy. That they should quit their jobs, get out of the stock market, turn off their ACs, heat pumps and their cars. That climate change was going to make the world miserable, endangered species were their fault, and that all their tax money spent on defense of the US is almost all wasted. Stop eating dead cows! Don't support big box stores! Open the borders to any and everyone! Give health care to everyone no matter what! Legalize everything and do it now, gawd damn it!!
But now they don't want me around. What's wrong with these people? They know I'm right. The world is doomed. Why won't they listen to me?
Headline Was: Brother can you spare a dime?

Maybe I'm missing something.

2. Why would you want to gorge on their feast if you don't approve of them? |
|
No wonder "they" don't invite you.

I removed that line. It was kinda hard to grok after the remodeling done on the headline. What it was meant to say was that after all my pleadings about their waste, I still hypocritically wanted to sit at the table and gorge myself on the feast of the few remaining resources.

8. Huh, wouldn't be a 'welfare queen' message, would it? |
|
Cause I saw a little calendar on the desk of a RW coworker a few years back that was about chocolate. One of the days had the statement, "A Democrat is someone who thinks they should be able to eat the chocolate you worked for."

9. Translation: Quit pointing out problems with the administration. |
|
You have no right to withdraw your support just because you don't like their policies.

This is some sort of passive aggressive slam against DU? Is that what you're saying?

Just Satire. But a real world look at how I am perceived by the centrists.

15. This was not even well done flame-bait. |
|
Just poorly disguised snark at the liberal left.

18. There would be no other reason to post this then to insult others in hopes of a fight. |

21. I appreciate good snark. This was not it. |

It's like watching someone play a Stradivarius while wearing boxing gloves.

11. Corporations are like dogs. |
|
Now, being a dog lover, I don't mind having dogs around. In fact I prefer to have dogs around. But I do mind it when people expect dogs to run things, and act like their food, their home & their lives are gifts from the dog, and when they cater to the dog because of that.
A dog is a good servant & a wonderful companion. But they are horrible masters.

12. Did you rip this off from FR? |
|
Because it reads like a broad caricature commonly found on rightwing boards.
