Well, figuratively.

Go Delta!

it may be juvenile but it is greatness.

Pure genius in its juvenile greatness...


"FOOOOOD FIIIIIIGHT!!!!!"

I went to law school at the University of Oregon because of that movie!

now, that there are few reliable common cultural references. Different generations, different groups of Americans, may not get each other's references.

of me to agree, but what the hell...


+1

And it survived! An amazing moment when FDR stared down Hermann Goring.

It wasn't even over when the Norwegians burned Atlanta during the Civil War!!!

Thanks.

I prefer mine shaken, NOT stirred.

I was born in 81, when did that movie come out and why haven't you told me about it yet?
Thanks a lot, America!


Sincerely,
A millennial who never understands pop culture references if they happened before her time because she's busy playing candy cane saga and watching Game of Thrones.

One must have a working knowledge of "Animal House," "The Blues Brothers," "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," and "Trading Places." Especially when we old people are around.

I always feel like i was born too late. Missed all the good stuff, but i was on time for AIDS and the dare program. Sux.

Was it over when teh Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Probably as many hits as "get a brain morans"

For Halloween. going to go search now.

I have a vague memory.

But here is the thread.

Great costumes otherwise.

You can't fight in here. It's the War Room!!!

I have ta run though; I have to deal with my parrot. I can't tell if my parrot is dead or whether he's pining for the fjords of Norway.

It's only a flesh wound.

An easy one, but still...

Keep your toes dry!

make my day!

Novus Ordo Seclorum!

Some folks in this thread took the OP title seriously. Didn't get the cinema connection.

only white, male, landowners could vote. It took bloody long enough and plenty of blood spilled too, but we have been moving towards democracy relatively quickly. We're not there yet, and this is a setback, but we're a lot further than where we started. That said, we have a long way to go, and we better stay involved.

So increased participation in that system is also not democratic. Yes, more people are allowed to vote for which multimillionaires will represent us, but who we are allowed to voted for is determined by those with money--both in terms of available candidates and geography. How come CA, where 1/5 of all Americans live has the same Senate representation as Wyoming, where almost none of them live? And there is no one to prevent someone who wins through dirty tricks by the skin of his teeth from causing a global disaster. The simple fact is we have no say in most of the important decisions that affects us. All this also assumes that power resides in the hands of elected officials. Obviously, it doesn't. Most of us are virtual slaves to our bosses. Those folks have real power over us and almost no accountability.

you make some points, but that's our government "by the people." More participation is more democracy, just ask anyone anywhere who doesn't have it, and we keep fighting for more. Ask an African American who can now sit at any lunch counter or a happily married gay couple, or a teenage girl who has school sports if we have "no say in most of the important decisions that affect us." These are tiny examples representing a much bigger picture, but, the point is, we give up our "say" when we give up.

It was Russia that attacked us at Pearl Harbor.





Putin was partly behind it (he was young).

Obama's error made it all possible (the attack never would have happened
without Obama's malfeasance).

To do bad things before you're even born.

Final proof of Obama's evil.

they moved Pearl Harbor from its former location in Kansas...

He let Wall St off scott-free after the 2008 crash.
Damn socialists LOVE those big banks.

He insisted on NO PUBLIC OPTION and NO SINGLE-PAYER,
but included Insurance Company profit$ wthin ACA.
Those damn socialists LOVE big Insurance Companies!

He Pursues TTP and other trade deals.
Damn socialists LOVE 1-sided trade deals favoring Corporate interests.

He pushes for Public School Privatization via Race-To-The-Top/Arnie Duncan, Charter Schools,etc
Damn socialists LOVE handing public schools over to private investor$.

He went to the University of Chicago--An established socialist/commie haven.
===============================================================================================
Well, there you have it---Irrefutable proof Obama is a total socialist.

Proof beyond all challenge.

hysterical!

And if the Know Your Meme site pops up in search results, be sure to check it out.

I thought *maybe this time everyone will get it*.

Nope.

for either googling

or...

"correcting" someone by PM so one doesn't look like a clown in public.


I had to learn that lesson many times myself...

Google is my first go-to if I don't understand something posted.

And if a correction is warranted, I consider whether posting it would embarass the OP author or if a PM suggesting an edit would be better. If possible to post a good-natured, humorous correction that will be taken in that spirit, fine. If not, PM.

Can we fix it?

Talk about playing checkers (Dems) vs 3-D chess (Rs)!

... to an organized campaign to take control of the media, the courts and the vote itself. One that has pretty much succeeded.

Is Democracy dead? I don't know but anyone that doesn't realize that it is on life support with many organs failing is just kidding themselves.

And it ain't over now.

'Cause when the goin' gets tough . . . the tough get goin'!

Who's with me?

Let's GOOO!!!

Now, it ain't what we want it to be. Very little is...

But I saw this fellow from Illinois, an Afro American, run for President and win.
So..he wins...short time later (by political terms)..this fellow proposes and gets passed a health care program, that is imperfect too, but..it got passed and approved by the Supreme Court, and l read over 7 million signed up, and 2 or 3 million got covered that wouldn't have been covered if this had not passed.

Yes, the tide changed since then, and it can change again. . No one knows. The enemy has made complete fools of themselves with their hatred of that law, and that President. Many who need this insurance, and will use it, and save lives, will come to our side. It may take some time, but I believe that will happen...sometimes Democracy takes a rest, but returns. I never, never thought they would get Nixon. Impossible I thought. Who knows what positive stuff can happen. Like I said, the guy from Illinois actually won in spite of the stupid ass right wing.


Oh...I guess I took this too seriously...but that is ok, aint the first time, and won't be the last..

Okay. How, oh guru?

Hate to tell you, but if the the system is corrupt, engaging the system doesn't help.

what a hoot, what a hoot, what a hoot!!!
