No, we spend our Sundays making fun of goofy, arrogant liberals. In fact we do this every day.

I wonder what will happen to Alaska over the next 8 years if Obama wins and Palin continues to govern.
As far as the argument 'only intelligent' people should be allowed to vote, well, my question is: Who gets to determine who falls within the 'intelligent voter' parameter?Why Mensa ofcourse!

Well, aren't you handy? You know what they say..if the women can't find you handsome they can at least find you handy.
Edit: Actually, this saying comes from the "Red-Green Show". You should know it, it's a Canadian production. I'm sure they have cable in Toronto.

Lame response...
Hey, there's lots more where this comes from... you're like the politician all the editorial cartoonists hope will get into office.
Figured you for a Red-Green guy.
I also went to UCLA and studied in Florence (that's in Italy, Ron.)
Working on the next installment. Sig heil! -
UCLA, Florence....WOW!! Now why the hell did you find it necessary to tell everyone this?
Keep 'em comin', stud.

Since you seem to be obsessed with tracking me down and obviously read a previous post I merely thought it prudent to offer a few more destinations to your itinerary.

Hey do me with Nixon holding his hands high with the peace sign. Put me on Margaret Thatcher's body. As I think of others, I'll inform you.

Guys, chill!
Lets not cross the line.
It's only politics, we cannot change each others views and when it gets too personal it's no longer a debate.

Just goofin' with a goof. I got this one all riled up.

Ron, this is like fighting a duel with a guy who is shooting blanks.
I feel a pointy hat and bedsheets comin', Bubba. -

You've got the pointy hat, now go sit in the corner. -
[quote="bellwells"]This one is especially for Paris and ought to really ruffle his feathers:
Hey Solo, I was actually avoiding this redneck bigot until he called me out. Sorry man, but if a racist photo of Obama, or any black person, shining shoes doesn't send a chill through you with respect to where Ron and his kinfolk fit on the food chain then I don't know what will. This is not about rational political debate, it's an insight into a man who degrades all human beings who do not fit within his warped world. Personally, I have about as much regard for him as I do for the minor annoyance of stepping in dog shit.
...Got to admit tho, the Hitler turned out pretty good. Maybe a couple more just for fun...then I'll chill. -

Isnt that a bit hypocritical?

You know, some black people do shine shoes. Some of those shoes belong to white people. It's not racist, it's reality. If the image had depicted Joe shining her shoes, would it have been sexist?

So, akin to remus's question, does this constitute "insight into a man who degrades all human beings who do not fit within his warped world"? Just curious...

I once read a a sci-fi short story where they finally decided to elect the President by lottery, which everyone was joined in, so any "Joe Six-pack" (that's not condescending, I guess, when a Republican uses it?) could actually be President. Somehow this election reminded me of that, and how: the people just want to be able to vote for someone like themselves, however they define that, qualifications and issues be damned.
Well-done shoe-shine photo. Comedy that plays with our prejudices is tricky. Some people don't get it. This is sort of a double-whammy.
EDIT: I'm changing my mind. In case my comment is misunderstood: I took the picture to be playing on our preconceptions of race and racists. I have to admit it was not in good taste. It would be seen as demeaning and hurtful to people who don't deserve it. Not criticizing others here, just reflecting on the picture itself and that it accurately depicts, sadly, what some people believe.

Hi,
Just come across this thread.
Ron, as usual, there are those of a liberal/left persuasion who nearly always resort to these sort of tactics. Considering they nearly always think of themselves as your intellectual superior (they went to university, so they MUST be clever) they resort to methods similar to those used by primary school children.
They call you names and pass around insulting pictures of you. Really intellectual!They are also quick to display their outrage when anyone dares to make jokes about certain ethnic minorities.
Of course, they see no contradiction in making insulting comments about your "kinsfolk". It seems perfectly acceptable for them to call you a redneck and imply that you are all inbreds. The hypocrisy of this seems to escape them.I know that not all liberal/left types are like this.
From reading this, and past threads I know, for instance, that Peter probably holds completely opposite views to me (and you?) regarding most political issues.
But he treats other views with respect and is prepared to discuss in a polite and civilised manner.
In an ideal world, this is what all rational adults should do.But it’s not an ideal world.
I suspect that Paris is more likely to be of the (more commonplace?) liberal/left type who wants "hate" laws passed. Rather than enter in to debate with you he could simply have you locked up and the key thrown away. What a nice liberal trait!These people can be more dangerous than any religious zealot.
Regards
Mr S -

OMG... The 'joke', as you call it, is intended to provoke the racial stereotype of black people knowing their place in society. This isn't Alabama in the 60's, or is it.

[quote="Mr S"]Hi,

Ron, as usual, there are those of a liberal/left persuasion...You suffer from a common malady called 'selective logic' syndrome. It's okay for Ron to debase Obama and black people and profess his hatred for 'Japs' and others because he is expected to do that given his political/moral bent. However, someone who takes a more liberal stance is expected to simply bend over and take it.
