To be honest, to get American freedom, we did have to kill some crackers.
I like the alternate universe John McCain we get during a tough primary fight.
I see libertarianism as more of an ideal to strive for than a workable political philosophy.
I strive to be libertarian, except where impractical. I strive to be nice to my fellow man, except when I have to punch him in the face.
Compromise: We secretly legalize drugs but don’t tell anyone… especially not law enforcement or judges.
I still don’t think kids should be able to do drugs. They’re just not cool enough.
I was intimidated on the way to the polls because someone was outside playing Pantera really loud. Little different.
Accidentally read some of Sullivan’s blog. The Atlantic really should charge a nickel a gander for their freak show.
I don’t watch basketball and don’t know who LeBron James is, but I’m going to go ahead and declare him overrated. He’s certainly no Justin Bieber.
Maybe Obama can go on TV with LeBron and make it an “Unemployed Going Back to Work” special.
Gosh, Frank, sometimes you infuriate me with your attempts to reason with others. We had to kill limeys, not crackers.
It’s certainly obvious that Cleveland isn’t overrated. Pitiful old Cleveland.
Obama can end Unemployment by declaring the unemployed
“Unrestricted Free Agents”.
Unemployment = 0%
Unrestricted Free Agents = 10%
-Counting unemployment now has a lot of number fudging. Unemployment during the worst of the great depression was about 18-20%. Current unemployment counted the old way honestly it is about 15%. Underemployment meaning accounts working as janitors adds up to about 20%.
Is the left going to admit that the stimulus did not work yet? Stimulus could be broken down to a few parts. All fueled by debt. Can not imagine why that did not jump start the world economy.
-Tax cuts for people who already dont pay taxes,
-State and Union Bail outs
-30 year backlog of Liberal pet projects and wish lists.
-How stupid is American English? Our smartest kids make a competition out of just trying to spell crap right. Language should be fundamentally basic like addition or subtraction within the metric system. What we currently have is more like advanced algebra converting fractions of pounds – ounces – gallons, yard-inches system.
-I hope all of you realize that after a 100 years of consolidating federal power and with all the new legal precedents set by the Bush and Obama administration that we will essentially be electing a king in every election.
-I would say marriage is harder then super mario but easier then battletoads. I guess marriage is closer to double dragon difficult.
-The problem with your identity being based on hating someone else is that even terrible people have lapses of decency.
I think Frank is referring to the Confederate crackers we had to kill after they helped kill the limeys. Anyway, I’m just glad all Americans can once again join hands and, in the brotherhood, kill foreigners.
Why would someone want to kill Foreigner but not Flock of Seagulls or Journey?
FYI: unrelated post I wanted to tell you about but couldnt figure out appropriate place to post it as there werent any comments on your nuke the moon page.
re: nuking the moon might not be so crazy – it might help terraform the moon really really fast. See this page.

“To be honest,to get American freedom, we did have to kill some crackers”. However, I would rather fight side by side with a cracker any day because they make for excellent fighters and fight dirty. If it weren’t for the blockade they would have won. Period.
“Accidentally read some of Sullivan’s blog. The Atlantic really should charge a nickel a gander for their freak show.”
Thanks for the morning chuckle Frank.
As far as for kids not being too cool enough to do drugs, I think they are just too stupid to enjoy drugs.
40+ million organic compounds – all drugs. So many to choose, so little time. Coffee!!
On a more serious note in regarding American freedom: We were a great nation because we were all unified as one Nation under God. It took Americans to win wars and make us number one in our endeavors, and Americans came in all races and religions from every part of our great county. If one wants a sober look into reality, all they have to do is scroll down the list of Medal of Honor recipients. When entering the Alamo, a list of all the dead are on inscribed on the wall, most of them from Europe. We are now a divided country run by a criminal administration.

I hear that thanks to BP, y’all’s crackers may be endangered…at least the oyster ones.
Crackers, huh?
I seem recall they were Brits. Brits and Yankees look a lot alike which probably accounts for why there are so many dead Yankees buried here in Virginia. It was an honest mistake, one tyrant looks pretty much the same as another. Want ’em back? They are taking up a lot of prime real estate.
Libertarianism will probably disappear when drugs are legal.
“I still don’t think kids should be able to do drugs. They’re just not cool enough.”
I agree. They should first learn to look cool smoking a cigarette before being allowed to shoot heroin.
I was intimidated on the way to the polls because someone was outside playing Pantera really loud….. If we aren’t going to investigate (and we aren’t) two men from the Black Panthers intimidating voters with a nightstick and verbal threats do you really think we’re going to investigate someone playing Pantera really loud? Besides we have more important work to do stopping the people of Arizona from inhibiting the flow of potential new Democrats into this country from Mexico…..and don’t think we’re finished with the CIA either!……..

“However, I would rather fight side by side with a cracker any day because they make for excellent fighters and fight dirty. If it weren’t for the blockade they would have won. Period.”
Yup. The crackers got passed out drunk celebrating secession while the Navy snuck most of their warships out of Southern ports, then blockaded said ports. War is too serious a matter to be left to a bunch of drunk crackers. I guess that’s where the expression “you snooze, you lose” comes from.
Proud Infidel: In many respects it is difficult to debate if the South could ever have won, considering the North was industrialized with a population to back it up. But I would like to sometimes think it would have been possible. The war was almost like a family feud, which to an extent it was. Much like what is happening today. You are right though, “you snooze, you lose.” No debating that.
Cilla, given that the South got most of the better military officers, if the blockade had not been in place the South’s chances of winning would have been much better. They could have made up for the North’s population and industry advantages had they been able to trade freely with other countries, in my opinion.
Proud Infidel: I concur with your opinion. Period. Lol.
I refuse to be baited into the Civil War discussion except to ax my random thought kestion:
* If there’s absolutely nothing civil about it, why do they call it the Civil War?
Random thought: There is a tick in my dog’s ear. I can’t remove it by myself because she’s spastic and thinks I’m trying to play with her when I try to hold her head.
Sigh.
I’m glad the North won and here’s why. If the South would have won the American Civil War then the United States would have been reduced in size, power, and wealth. This means it would most likely have not bought Alaska from Russia. This means I would not have been able to relocate from California to Alaska back in ’75. This means I’d most likely still be living in California today. This means I’d be overtaxed, and unhappy just like all of my friends and relatives who still live down there…..and that’s why I’m glad the North won!
@zzyzx: I hadn’t thought of it that way. I’d add that if the South had won, they prolly would have gotten even with us by denying us good BBQ.
I think it’s cute that Marko’s tick has a pet dog.
Drudge reports that San Francisco is banning the sale of all pets except fish. I guess a lot of gerbils will be happy about that. They didn’t specify what kind of fish, I’m kind of hoping it’s piranhas.
Marko, do the liberal thing. Have a heart-to-heart with that tick. Seeing your point of view, I’m sure the tick will remove itself from your dog’s ear.
That reminds me of the time my dog Sasha so kindly deposited a tick on my underwear lying next to my bed while I was asleep. Specifically, it was the crotch area of the underwear, and the result was understandably horrifying when I discovered it about an hour later.
A tick (or Democrat) in the crotch – or the ear – will spoil your whole day.
And Dohtimes, it’s equally cute that his dog has a pet Marko.
So, we spun the tick around, and it decided to let go. Can parasites become dizzy?
If I see Black Panthers outside our polling place, I’ll sing ‘Kum-bye-ah’ and offer them hugs until they break down in tears and go home.
I’m not sure we want to know…but then again maybe if they can we can spin the entire administration on its ear and they’ll leave?? Does that logic sound right?
I strive to be libertarian, except where impractical. I strive to be nice to my fellow man, except when I have to punch him in the face.
And the world all of a sudden made so much sense it had no choice but to implode upon itself. I’m partially libertarian, according to those online political/personality tests that have been floating around the innertubes since the late 90s. But that dinna mean I’m a libertarian. (Don’t you just wanna call them librarians? I know I do.) But when frontal lobe goes from push to shove, conservatism (with a nice pointed index finger) always wins.
