A Brief Summary of the RNC

September 4th 2008 17:07
RNC 2008
At the risk of blowing my blood pressure through the roof I watched the RNC and all the speeches. Of course there were moments i was throwing things at the TV and shouting like a mad woman, but I made it through and learned some important lessons. Like you can disagree with everything on the Democrat's platform, hate most Democrats, and still call yourself one. Yes, I'm looking at you Lieberman. I also learned that McCain was a POW, and was a POW, and was a POW, and was a POW. I learned that country first means screw the citizens second.


Of course what I really learned was the lessons taught outside the convention hall. Like when in doubt arrest journalists, arrest marchers, tear gas protesters, and arrest concert goers. Also women with flowers and people who love the earth are clearly terrorists.

The convention can only be summed up in song. So I'm handing over to a favorite group of mine, NOFX




With our ass in the air and our heads in the ground
There's no sense of despair, without sight, without sound
We hold our ears and shut our eyes
Distant screams morph into lullabies
We beat indifferent drum, we pound it till we're numb

We validate, rationalize, corroborate each others lies
Pat my back and I'll pat yours, benevolent conquistadors
We piss down throats, shit in cupped hands
Wipe our asses with all foreign flags
We beat indifferent drum, we pound it till we're numb

20 feet high, 2 feet thick, barbed wire, razor blades
The wall was built to keep them out while keeping us in goose step parades
We don't questions what we've become
We march to the beat of the same indifferent drum
We beat it till we're numb, we beat it till we're numb

Well, you must be very young, since you do not refer to the Democrat Convention in Chicago where the police extracted so much blood from the protesters. An objective blog would make such a comparison for distinction.

You are obviously a rabid Democrat. This means you probably would have voted with your fellow legislators to stop the 1964 Civil Rights Act and you would never have voted Lincoln into office -- and thus no Emancipation Proclamation. I remind you that the Republicans helped both become law.

Get real. Both parties have their faults.

We all appreciate your opinions but without the true facts we are forced to make assumptions. Something most of us do not like doing. So, please, if you are going to blog, please try to be objective.

Well Edgar, I'm not young enough not to know history and to know that the Republicans of today have nothing to do with the Repubs of back then ever since they sold out to the Southern White voters. Why would I vote Republican based on what they did in history when the party of today has none of those same values?

But thanks for being a typical Republican and assuming everyone that isn't you is an idiot! I love it when you guys show your true colors, if only you would do it more often.

Oh, and Edward, if you don't like the way I blog don't stop by. I'm not writing for you, get over it.

Summer, I'd wager I'm probably damn near as old as your parents, and I totally agree with you....you rock, and hopefully there are many more like you in the young generation...(by the way, I like NOFX too, saw them in Seattle a few years ago)

And I'm much older! I remember 1968 well, although not 1860! The values of the modern GOP have no similarity with the ideals of Lincoln's party. Both Jess and you, in my opinion, are right on.
