18. Exactly .... we cant let GOP monopolize patriotism...

Edited on Thu Feb-18-10 10:50 AM by Clio the Leo

.... monopolize it and make it mean "a celebration of Great White Men."

The Democratic party reflects the cultural and social diversity that makes this nation what it is. It is OUR party that reflects the welcoming spirit that America is known for. It's time we stop letting the GOP act like they are the only true patriots.

14. I just heard it live, and that was the most depressing thing I've heard in a long time.

Working people are even more screwed.

19. and you could make a turd sound like a brick of gold!!

there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term was "Political Correctness."

The winner wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

sounds like you have this one down pat!!

He's always doing things before I'm awake and have my coffee here! WTH! Doesn't he know there is a time zone difference?
