“Once again I give you thanks for your merciful love, kindest Lord, for having found
another way of arousing me from my inertia.”
--
St. Gertrude the Great
The middle finger is the first refuge of the 14 year old.
Or the maturity-challenged perpetual adolescents.
So is this (content warning, don’t hit the link if you don’t want to see filth - ’nuff said.)
But remember, these are the people who thought spelling out the world F-U-C-K at Woodstock was, I don’t know…daring and intellectually liberating, or something.
They’re still adolescents trying to demonstrate their cool. It’s sad. Pathetic. Unsurprising.
Intolerant. Un-inclusive. Projecting. And they’ll never grow up.
These are not the liberals I grew up with. The liberals I grew up with respected the opinions of others. They welcomed dissent. They believed utterly in the Bill of Rights, particularly the first amendment; free-speech for everyone.
You do realize that Obama gave the finger to Hillary Clinton when Hillary and Obama were running for the Dem ticket. He pretended to scratch his face and used the middle finger. Some in the audience saw what he did and knew what he meant and laughed. At the time I saw the video clip of this I thought what a juvenile he is. A grown man giving the finger to a woman and smirking as he did it.
Good Lord, that was awful! I couldn’t get through the whole thing in one sitting–had to stop for a few minutes and then come back to it. I did like the stat about the number of middle fingers show as proportional to the number of PhD, though.
I fear for our country, but I place my trust in God.
These are my neighbors. And this is pretty accurate. And every one of those middle fingers belongs to someone who thinks of himself as open minded, intelligent and thoughtful and above all decent. They have the key to paradise on earth and they want nothing more than to bring happiness to all. But first they have to destroy the republicans because the republicans are Satan’s emissaries here to spread misery and suffering.
I cannot believe that you folks believe what you see on Utube. This video is so over done and over edited beyond believability. The audio background is looped over and over again with multiple layed sound effects. I could hardly stop laffing at the obsurdity of this. One should consider the outbursts at McCain rallies instead. At least they present uneidited, unbiased news reporting. You all come to New Yawk. I’ll show you all a good time, ya hear.
[Oh. Puh. Leese. The "outbursts" at the McCain rallies amount to one or two idiots saying stupid things and being overplayed up by the press. Quite different from the Molotov cocktails being thrown at McCain signs, tires being slashed and assassinations being fantasized and oh yeah, the filth, the cartoons of Palin being beaten up and the suggestions that Bristol should abort her baby. Hateful people, but it's okay - they're on the left and entitled to all their hate. Right? And I know the Upper West Side. Edited or not, that's how it is. - admin]
I’d think The McCain-Palin people were being deliberately provocative here, and I can’t imagine they were surprised by the response — but they certainly made their point. (I wonder, had they not had cameras, if it would have come to actual violence?)
OTOH, I’ve seen McCain-shirted groups at Republican voter-registration tables in the middle of the extremely left-leaning Santa Monica, and nobody bothered them at all, as far as I could see. Is California just too laid-back, or is New York a different animal, so to speak?
THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY ANY POLITICAL PARTY!
NOT ONLY THAT– it is POLITICALLY CORRECT!!
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
‘Welcome to heaven,’ says St. Peter. ‘Before you settle in, It seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.’
‘No problem, just let me in,’ says the man.
‘Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.’
‘Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,’ says the senator.
‘I’m sorry, but we have our rules.’
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening Dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who
Has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
‘Now it’s time to visit heaven.’
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
‘Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.’
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: ‘Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but
I think I would be better off in hell.’
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a
barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ‘I don’t understand,’ stammers the senator. ‘Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
What happened?’
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ‘Yesterday we were campaigning…
True story . . . I was protesting an appearance by Bill Clinton. A liberal woman came by and flipped us the finger from across the street. (What bravery. What fortitude. What originality.)
I got on the megaphone. “Thank you, ma’am, you’re number one with us, too!”
She screamed back “FUCK YOU!”
Me: “Now, that’s a very flattering offer, ma’am, and I thank you kindly, but I’m happily married and my wife might not understand.”
I think she decided to quit while she was behind. :o)
Bridey, they were at a street fair exercising their first amendment rights. Only a liberal would call that provocative. Only a liberal would think they own the street, only a liberal would think they have a right to not be around people of different opinions, only a liberal would think that expressing a conservative opinion is, on its own, provocative.
Give some thought to your statement and try to realize what you are really saying with it.

Well, as Martin Luther King said, “Unearned suffering is redemptive”. A person could get really nostalgic for Hubert Humphrey. Even for Boss Tweed…

As I said, this sort of thing is a mug’s game. All it demonstrates is that both sides are amply endowed with supporters short on civility.

I’ve always felt that a significant number of those on the left are self absorbed children. Nice to see I’m not alone in that view.
