Our postmodernist “Progressives,” as did the black and brown shirts of a bygone era, would have us "Shut up or else."
According to the Kansas City Star (and thanks to JammieWearingFool.), a Missouri man whose land borders an interstate highway, and had the brass to post a sign that reads
Are you a
Producer or Parasite
Democrats - Party of the Parasites
Anyone who lives in Los Angeles and has had smaller scale things happen to their property (for their cars having bumper stickers unfavorable to Obama)

- are slowly coming to recognize the accuracy of the title of this post.

No surprise. The party of "Peace and love" is commonly the party of violence and hateful rhetoric.

ReplyDeleteVandalizing a sign is one thing, but a whisper campaign from the right like the one going on against Nikki Haley is far worse.
Some of Haley's critics, including at least one county GOP chairman and two pastors, questioned whether the candidate, a first-generation Indian American who was raised in the Sikh tradition, is really a Christian, as she says she is. It's a touchy topic for South Carolina, where race, religion and negative campaign tactics have a long, uncomfortable history in politics.
"This is the sad truth in politics: If you want to really make something stick on somebody, you make it very negative and you whisper it," said South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, who ran against Haley in the primary for governor but is supporting her in the runoff.
We are taught to know a man (or group of men) not by their words (or claims of affiliation), but by their deeds.
ReplyDeleteAnd Teresita believes that a whispering campaign -- a disreputable-on-its-face rumor mongering based on words, and more words, about more words -- is worse than arson.
Ah, Lilith's standards. Understood.
"Vandalizing a sign is one thing, but a whisper campaign from the right like the one going on against Nikki Haley is far worse."
ReplyDeleteWow. That is the very definition of dumbpiphany
LMAO Og.
ReplyDeleteAside: What I'd like to know is how you managed to slip that photo in at the wikidictionary entry?
I think Jesus is a democrat, considering how many times GOD mentions helping the poor.
ReplyDelete"Vandalizing a sign is one thing, but a whisper campaign from the right like the one going on against Nikki Haley is far worse."
ReplyDeleteTeresita, I think the wingnuts would like to go back to the good old days of no women rights, no civil rights, to the days where the white male ruled and labor was cheap.
Ahhh, and here we have an example in microcosm of the illness which is pervasive in our society at large. That would be the reality based adults vs the feelings/emotionally (and fantasy/alternate reality) based children.
ReplyDeleteSadly, we have the children "in charge" (apologies to those who are fully capable, functioning adults who are still "in charge" somewhere) at the national level, and at many state and uban levels as well. They also managed to fool a number of the sheeple out there, who in my NSHO, are even worse then the children. At least the children let you know where they stand, if not by their words, then by their actions and deeds. The sheeple tend to go which ever way the prevailing wind blows.
Og= sheepdog
Teresita=child
Raygun=sub sentient being neither adult or child, just foolish.
Me, I am old, foolish, a bit too full of myself at times, and tired of folks who refuse to see that which is so painfully manifesting itself right before their eyes.
Edit as you see fit Pascal.
Guy, I always wonder at idiots like duh!gun who forget that Republican party was the party of Lincoln, the party of civil rights, the party of womens' suffrage, the party of inclusion and equality. Wait, no, I don't wonder, they're morons.
ReplyDeleteThere they go again, mired in history, looking at the past when it has little relevance to this day and age. My proof is that you saw Obama coming and couldn't stop him. The good old days when women and slaves knew their place, and god Obama is restoring that, just not in spades alone.
ReplyDeleteThey can't get past their recent man God Ronnie RayGun (so his star wars DID work -- I'll grant you that), even though he ran huge deficits (he held his RayGun to the head of the Rat Congress, yes he did) and w recently proved beyond doubt that his ideals (which he didn't follow) are disastrous (wait, if he didn't follow his ideals, what does that prove? Ooooh my head hurts!).
They love history but don't learn from history, and though I'd like to blame the destruction of the economy by them electing simple Sarah, Obama will have already done that before 2012 gets here with the help of my favorite Republicans.
God help you all. BWAHAHAHAHA.
"Raygun=sub sentient being"
ReplyDeleteRather RayGun thinks (wish me beginner's luck) that is all we are, sentient beings, controlled completely by pleasure and pain. Animals, insects, everything is driven by the same forces of pleasure and pain. Well, maybe me, I'm an insect. Thinking don't come naturally to me and so I'm inclined to project my shortcomings onto the rest of you.
Accept my apologies.
Carry on all the rest of you who believe you were created in God's image so He has beings who may indeed endeavor to understand what it is He created.
Damn, it must be frustrating believing that your ancestry is a few self generating cells descended from primordial shit. No wonder duh! gun is always in such a horrible mood.
ReplyDelete"Damn, it must be frustrating believing that your ancestry is a few self generating cells descended from primordial shit"
ReplyDeleteReality sucks.
Amazing to believe a God created disgusting crap producing creatures, that he aborts (miscarriage) about 35 percent of the time. Not such a great and perfect God after all.
"Amazing to believe a God created disgusting crap producing creatures"
ReplyDeleteyeah, he made you, which means that the stupid amuse Him. They must, he made so many.
Of course the power of death (And, by the way, Life) is the unique property of the Creator. His motives, naturally, are beyond our capability to understand. You keep on believing you're an accident of the slimy cosmos, Duhgun. Won't you be surprised!!
"Won't you be surprised!! "
ReplyDeleteYou won't know the difference. In a blink it will be as it was before you were born.
See Og, I want so to believe this implication, so that any crap I leave behind I will not have to justify.
It bothers me that you and your ilk believe we will have to answer for our foolishness. I shouldn't, because I believe there is no God, and I am right and you are wrong, and it hurts my feelings that anybody believes my beliefs are wrong. You shouldn't be allowed to hurt my feelings. (Ooooh, this hurts my head again. Insects have it so much easier, that's why I believe we are no better than them. So there!)
On the other hand, what if you picked the wrong God? You are telling me if you were born and raised in the middle east you would not believe in Allah? Oh, I forgot, those who believe in Allah force adherents to believe. The world of the Christian God has rid itself of that sort of enforcer because it's not free will when it's forced. Their biggest problem is that their institutions are badly infested by people like me -- new-agers and greenies.
So I guess they're okay except for their belief in God. Oooooh, my head hurts so bad.
Rep, the hurt will stop when you leave off trying to convince people there is no meaning to life.
ReplyDeleteI know, dear rep: emptiness is so hard to live with, and misery loves company and all.
You don't have to remain miserable you know. Free choice.
Here's a little quote that you'll dismiss, and so it won't do you any good, but I'll pass it along to you because then I can say I offered you help.
"Seeking to retain a moral attitude is not unlike seeking wisdom. It is a virtue you can seek both for its own reward and for its reward for you -- in the long term. Anti-wise factions will continue to try to subvert both. Disappoint them. Let them entertain the notion that their sophistication trumps your innocence."
Hey Pasc, you need to work on editing others posts, as my avatar does not show when you edit my posts.
ReplyDelete"Seeking to retain a moral attitude is not unlike seeking wisdom"
ReplyDeleteI don't mind your seeking, just get your morals out of my life. Let me live free.
The religious right crazy's are the biggest hypocrites the planet has ever seen.
"I don't mind your seeking, just get your morals out of my life. Let me live free. "
ReplyDeleteI'd knew you'd dismiss the advice. Nobody is forcing you to do anything rep. The offer is open-ended.
-------------
"The religious right crazy's are the biggest hypocrites the planet has ever seen. "
Hell of an assertion by you Rep. You declaim the Right but leave out the religious Left who tend to be the nastiest.
Let me demarcate this. There is a clear difference between submission (Islam by definition, and many other religious institutions infested by Leftists) and free-will (what the Judeo-Christian God allows his creations as they discovered wisdom too often the hard way). The religious Right grants the tolerance, only the Left, religious or otherwise, INSISTS upon it.
How did that difference escape your notice? Or were you hoping I’d have no answer to your slander?
Is Allah and God one and the same?
ReplyDeleteIslam demands submission to Allah.
ReplyDeleteGod entertains disagreements with Him.
Islam denies that anything is outside the possible for Allah, including his dishonesty to mortals.
God sticks by His promises, and that's a promise.
Two big differences like that says the answer is "No."
Hammer away Rep.
So Pasc, God is going to condemn to hell the billion or so Muslims?
ReplyDeleteHow do you know you hooked the right God Pasc?
Rep: So Pasc, God is going to condemn to hell the billion or so Muslims?
ReplyDeleteI did not say that. Would not say that.
Someone born into Islam is living in a state of terror of being declared an apostate. God would not judge someone automatically for being born into such a dilemma. The consistency demands that each of us would be judged fairly.
I assert that you know the difference between right and wrong Rep.
Thus Rep, you wrong at your peril.
Do nothing hateful and you'll do fine Rep.
How do you know you hooked the right God Pasc?
ReplyDelete"Someone born into Islam is living in a state of terror of being declared an apostate."
Not to long ago that was the case for Christians also. If Palin gets in those days may be upon us again.
Whats wrong with humanists? Why can't you just be non hateful for the sake of it?
The problem Pasc, is the bible is nearly as bad as the Koran in terrible things that God has commanded or has done. People skip over those passages or make some excuse for them, but they are still there, just like in the Koran.
What if we get some crazy in power,like Palin, who decides the US problem is homos, or witches, or children who disrespect their parents, or ???
Rep: How do you know you hooked the right God Pasc?
ReplyDeleteRationality. Nothing to do with the supernatural elements. It's the sense of justice. You haven't studied it so it's meaningless to you. I'm telling you because you asked. Remember, I'm not a follower.
Knock it off about Palin. I consider her to be one of yours. The prospect of her being the GOP nominee gives me nightmares. That's for less for anything she has said, and much more for what she has done. I'm convinced that she is a Statist, thus as bad for the nation as GWB.
Rep: What is wrong with humanists?
You who hate your own species.
Yes Rep, what is wrong with humanists?
"It's the sense of justice."
ReplyDeleteBut what about the 1 billion or so Muslims that grew up in a Muslim household? Why can't they feel your justice?
"Knock it off about Palin. I consider her to be one of yours." AND "You who hate your own species."
She is about as anti abortion and anti birth control as you can get. Seems like you would love her.
Pasc, do you believe evolution?
1. Didn't say they couldn't.
ReplyDelete2. I'm not fooled by her as I was never fooled by GWB. She is a member of the side you adore. She's merely a chess piece manipulated by people you and I wouldn't recognize if we bumped into them. She's as pro-life as Og is a Neanderthal.
3. Yes.
Okay, Rep, your turn, and it's a question you raised: What is wrong with humanists? You who hate your own species. And in your instance, the suggestion that your own life could have any meaning sends you into fits of denial. What is wrong with humanists?
What is wrong with Humanists,
ReplyDeleteor
What are wrong with Humanists?
Help me out. Which is right?
"She's as pro-life as Og is a Neanderthal. "
Don't think you need to go that far..
"Pasc, do you believe evolution? "
What about evolution Pasc, what do you think?
