What (the Fuck) we're up against!
A revealing picture of the enemy is presented by Lizza in the latest TNR. Can you say "culture war"?


I don't use a lot of big words. /But I'm bent on love if you know what I mean. / I ain't int'rested in bein' politically correct. / I stand right up and say what I believe. / I'm a little rough around the edges, but I think I'm exactly what you need.

--From Travis Tritt's "Rough Around the Edges," a song frequently played at Bush campaign events


Muskegon Republicans are not subtle. Two thousand party activists from this southwestern Michigan county are gathered in a hangar at the local airport, waiting for George W. Bush to arrive. They aren't subtle about their love of God and country. First they bow their heads in prayer. A young man explains that the Bush supporters are gathered "to lift high the name of Jesus Christ." Addressing God and speaking of the president, he declares, without eliciting a murmur of concern, "We know you appointed him to the position." After the prayer is the Pledge of Allegiance. After the Pledge is the national anthem. Next, four stout women lead the crowd in a cappella versions of "God Bless America," "God Bless the USA," and a medley of other patriotic songs.

1. LOL, "up against"
You say that with such great desperation. I read those lyrics and nearly pissed myself. If these repukes want to find a common bond with some inbred country twanger, let them.


BTW, I didn't need to click the article link. You heard 1 repuke you heard them all!
