Even when spelling correctly, their signs pour on the stupid like lotion.
Looking through a photo gallery of the 9/12 FootShooter Fortress and came across THIS gem:



Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight . . . Freep in the Hat . . . you know, because that whole "Strengthening the Strong" thing worked out SO WELL these past 28 years!

Seriously . . . are there people who're FALLING for this "Trickle Down" garbage in 2009? I just find it difficult to believe there are at least 70,000 people in America that still buy this crappity-crap nonsense. Whatever happened to "You're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own FACTS"? What universe do they LIVE in?

2. Anyone at an event like that . . .
. . . using PUBLIC transportation on PUBLIC grounds near PUBLIC fountains and PUBLIC buildings protesting a National Debt Presidents REAGAN, BEWSH I AND BEWSH II were responsible for ringing up and calling the duly elected President adjectives that have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other (Fascist, Nazi, Communist, Liberal, Socialist, Peacenik, etc) is only taken seriously by them.

Everyone else just :rofl:s at them.

7. Hi there! What is lotion?
Don't you mean moisturizer? I think 'lotion' is the Southern term, correct? I had someone ask me if I had any lotion and the only thing we call 'lotion' around here is sun tan lotion!

10. Classic. Anytime they invoke "THE RED MENACE" . . .

11. Moreover, in many cases, that's the ONLY way to strengthen "the weak".
