poll: do the primitives misunderstand us?

[Erasmus]

If liberals understood their own philosophy, they'd realize it is systemically self-contradictory.  Given that they manage to blissfully hold to this sort of self-defeating belief system, I highly doubt they understand much else.  I voted no.

[Tucker]

For my part, I don't care if they do or not.

They'll take our making them look like DUmmies and like it.

Which of course is exactly the case, sir.

[formerlurker]

No way; I have a Hell of a lot more respect than that.

As you know--I've said it often enough--you and NHSparky are my paragons, my models, here, when it comes to good, seasoned wisdom expressed in writing, just as JohnnyReb is my ideal for story-telling, and GOBUCKS manages to say things I want to say, but can't quite say them.  And Ballygrl of course inspires me to be nice.

Myself, yeah, sure, I do okay, but there's a juvenile streak that can't be grown out of, given the social retardation of the deaf.  As the bug-eyed property caretaker here has reminded me more than once, "Boss, when you die, whenever that is, you're still going to only ever been 19, 20, 21 years old."

My writing's an honest, accurate, true-to-life reflection of what and how I really am, and that's it.

So I'm great at the funnies, but suck at the wisdom.  When I get around to winning the Powerball lottery, and if you'd agree to come onto the payroll as my ghost-writer, I'll not only pay a good wage, but you'll have a better, more luxurious, office than my fellow alum Skins, and prettier secretaries.

Cough...... come again????

Oh now, madam.

I've been around a while, and know nearly all members here pretty well.

When I think of both of you--you and NHSparky--the first thing that comes to mind is "cerebral wit."

Honest, I do.

Ask him how the Angels are doing, then ask him how many Red Sox games he has watched this summer (I KNOW YOU HAVE WATCHED MOST OF THEM SPARKY DON'T DENY IT) to catch some of that cerebral wit.

What I've always appreciated about NHSparky is that he's solid, he's full.

There's not an empty space in his body or his head.

NHSparky is solid.

[formerlurker]

Scoobie you will have to let me know when he starts building a Tom Brady shrine in his game room....

[formerlurker]

NHSparky is solid.

One more year in Cow Hampshire and he starts adding "wicked pissah" to most of his posts.    Bet the farm on it.

[formerlurker]

Frank, I am just giving him a hard time.  I have never seen anyone such as yourself give him such praise.  Shocking it is.   

[franksolich]

I just checked; apparently I've been operating under a misimpression.

I always thought NHSparky was here before you and me, madam.

Nope.

I was here, and then a few days later, you were here, and then several days later NHSparky was here.

But I'll never forget the first time I saw NHSparky here for the first time; the first thought that came to mind was, "this is a guy who knows what he's talking about; I'd better listen to him."

I got the same thought from wasp69, when he came aboard.

<<admires people of Substance.

[franksolich]

Oh, and judging by membership order, it appears NHSparky brought vesta111 here with him.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Tsk, tsk, you say all that nice stuff about him, and then you go and throw that on top of the pile...

 

[BlueStateSaint]

I said "yes, some of the time," but I think that they don't care if they misunderstand us, the Hate on that side is so pronounced.

[formerlurker]

Oh, and judging by membership order, it appears NHSparky brought vesta111 here with him.

Yes, yes he did.    Sparky has many stalkers.  It's all a part of his irresistible charm.

H5, and I owe  you a dozen more.

Two games behind the Rangers, last time I checked.  And honestly, I haven't watched all that much baseball this summer, period.  It's been a busy year thus far.

There's a time for wit, a time for honesty, and a time to simply ignore the barbs and tell it like it is.

I think coach flatters me from time to time, to be sure, but at the end of the day, I'm as acerbic, witty (if you want to say that) or any other adjective you'd wish to ascribe to me.  I don't pretend to be online what I'm not IRL.  WYSIWYG, to repeat the abbreviation.  I don't have enough time in my life to be anything else.

Oh, and as far as the DUmmies go, I don't hate them, but I don't pity them either.  Their station in life is the result of their own poor life choices, and for them to blame their existence on forces external and unseen is cowardly, IMO.  But what galls me all the more is that others are expected to cover for their poor choices and enable them to make additional poor choices, and continue said cycle ad infinitum.

We're telling them the gravy train is slowing--not stopping yet, mind you--and they wax apoplectic about it.  C'est dommage.  It had to happen sometime, DUmmies.  Energy (or in this case, your livelihood) cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form.

[NHSparky]

Oh, to be fair, I've taught the boy child to say "wicked pissah" and like it.  Scoobie also got me a shirt that says it on our trip to the North Country.

But Tom Brady shrine?  Nope.  Not gonna happen.  I'd have to move my John Elway shrine, and as you know, that just isn't going to happen.

[NHSparky]

Oh, and judging by membership order, it appears NHSparky brought vesta111 here with him.

A fact for which I've been punishing myself like a medieval monk since her arrival and first incoherent posts.

Indeed, sir, and well said.  

I took the question to mean conservatives in general, and not just CCers.  They say that "teabaggers" are "tyrannical" and "authoritarian."  Where in the hell do they get that from?  We want the boot of the government off our neck, and they see that as some kind of dictatorship?  They do not understand the Right in the least.  

My thoughts exactly, and the reason I voted 100% of the time. They cannot comprehend any other way to think. Just look at the tired playbook they use, and have been using, for well over 50 years now.
