ROFL!!!!!!!

That was great!

Thanks for giving me a good belly laugh, Seth!

Atheling2 --

I'm still pretty hysterical about it myself, LOL!

So liberal, so true, so effin' funny!

This is a dilemma faced by many liberal families today. They have the "I voted for Bush" skelaton in the closet. Other than that problem, this seems like your normal liberal nuclear family.

Big Dog --

You are so right, LOL.

And if it hadn't been for liberals just like these, Jerry Springer wouldn't have had a show.

I have not posted before, so I hope everyone recognizes my comment as sarcastic humor about this funny piece.

Big Dog --

Welcome, and feel free to bring all the sarcasm you want -- given the state of current events, sarcasm makes more sense than most of what is construed as straightforward speech.

Dear Worried about My Reputation,
By all means you must be honest with your fiance.
Your family reputation leads me to conclude that your nephew must have worked for Jack Abramoff!

BB --

Now, now. If the wrong folks inside the Beltway read that, they might accuse you of rubbing salt into old wounds. :-)

Great humor, Seth. Thanks for the laugh.

And the left claims conservatives are disfunctional?

You can rest assured the crackhead didn't vote for bush!

Old Soldier --

To judge from what we read, see and hear on an almost day-to-day basis, the Dems are the party that supports everything that goes against the grain of American morality, such as drug use and child porn, so I doubt any of that Springeresque crowd voted for anybody other than Algore and Jacques Kerry. :-)

Plenty of folks with conservative politics in prison.

The Aryan Brotherhood come from your side of the spectrum.

Arthur, what are you babbling about now?

Arthur, what are you babbling about now?

Speaking of the 'conservative state of mind'. Timothy McVeigh was a registered republican.

LOL?

Arthur --

I repeat: What are you babbling about?

Just providing a couple examples of the 'definitive state of the conservative mind', Seth.

And Charles Manson was a liberal, so what's your point?

so what's your point?

The point is that overgeneralizations, exaggerations and outright lies are just so funny when applied to ones political opponents.

At least that's the point I took from the original post in this thread.

Oh. And the other thing that is so funny is the implication that conservatives are somehow 'better' than liberals.

Arthur --

Correction: Not better, just exponentially more in tune with reality, more respectful of American traditions and the intentions of our founding fathers and infinitely more apt to practice what we preach.

Ha. Ha.

Among intentions of the founding fathers was to insure the continuation of slavery and denial of women's suffrage. Fortunately there were progressives around to use the constitutional mechanisms available to end both.

Activist judges and all don't you know.

Those some you had in mind?

Seth,
Er, 'more in tune with reality' [Eek, Iraq is full of WMD/Nukes]
'more respectful of American traditions' [We can torture whoever we want]
'intentions of our founding fathers' [let's use the military to enforce democracy on the world..
Adams loved that one]
'more apt to practice what we preach.'[never try diplomacy when force is available] There are conservatives, there are neocons, but I agree with Wm Buckley, the 'new' rightwing is a little
out of whack. (Ok, Seth, the left has been out of whack for years..at least in my case, arguing
with my teachers, arguing with my professors, arguing with my government...luckily the wife is
more moonbat than me!! Anyhoo, perhaps Arthur was expressing concern over name-calling and categorizing people's beliefs? It was a cute
'Dear Abby' and certainly could have been written from an opposite perspective, lord knows what we see in Dear Abby.

Let's lighten up everybody. The letter is a too-long shaggy dog story; the punch line would have been funnier if the author had shown more restraint earlier.

Any efforts to use this as a lauching pad for serious social commentary is even more tedious than the letter writer's wind-up before the pitch. Tomorrow we can commiserate with (or eviscerate) the [fill-in the blanks] conservative who's agonizing over whether to tell his fiancee about his uncle having been the Kerry local campaign manager in 2004.

Let's save up the vitriol for recalcitrant issues. like the various attacks on free speech coming from all political directions, home and abroad.

Arthur and BB--

I could take this dialogue well into the future, LOL, but --

Civil Truth is too right to argue with here, though I might not have too much trouble with participating in having Arthur PNG'd and deported to France, LOL. Everything in its place.

Thank you, CT.
