Remember this guy? He's the one who accompanied his wife to her office party (or something like that) and when the host offered him a drink, instead of responding with a polite "No, thanks", stated, "I don't drink with you", then for the life of him couldn't understand why the other DUmmies thought he was rude. Well, he's back at his socially retarded best:

5. If you're british, you can leave the term "mate" off when speaking with me.
Oh, this guy's a charmer. :rotf:

11. Very true, just makes no sense that they would think it's expected.

12. If this is your deciding factor
Then are there any holidays you would celebrate? All holidays celebrate something that happened in the past, and even for those that were alive at the time it's not like everyone could or was at that place at that time.

19. Most holidays are celebrated by people with a relation to the event.

20. And obviously you can not relate to anything about this country or its history
Not knocking you, just pointing out the obvious

14. Is there anything you don't take umbrage with?
For what it is worth, I can't imagine anyone caring one iota whether or not you celebrate July 4th Independence day.

50. Whew. And there I was feeling shitty for not inviting you to the party... Updated at 1:57 AM
NOW I feel better. Actually, I don't give a damn what you choose to celebrate. No one I know does either. You're completely inconsequential.
I see it as another reason to get together with family and lifelong friends, go boating on my private lake, cook hot dogs and hamburgers, drink mass quantities of alcohol, smoke tons of weed, play lots of 8-Ball, and finish a perfect day off by watching one of the coolest fireworks shows in all of Southern California. My party will be starting Friday night, and continuing until Monday morning. Just me, my wife, and 16 of the coolest people I've ever known. And don't you worry, every toast that's raised over the weekend will be raised without you in mind.
Practice a little tolerance and don't shit on anyone else's celebration of whatever the **** they want to celebrate.

54. So celebrate share the potato or what ever half assed holiday your country of origin has. Updated at 11:51 PM
If I was living in Haiti I would certainly help them celebrate their hard fought independence. Most countries have some sort of patriotic holiday. Admittedly some of them involve burning catholics in effigy but still it is only polite if you live in the country to join in the fun.
The prevalent fear of poverty among the educated classes is the worst moral disease from which our civilization suffers.

56. It is gracious and
civil and very humane to share in another's celebration and be happy for them. Very few people see it as insulting.

57. I would feel that I would be insulting them by doing it. Not judging what anyone else does.
It must be a blast to be around this fellow.

He sounds like every other self-proclaimed liberal at the DUmp. They hate children, they hate holidays, they hate cops and love criminals.
I wouldn't want to live in their world for a day. Something tells me it won't be as wonderful as they imagine.

I read most of that thread earlier and was surprised by many of the DUmmies responses. Some of them almost sound like they know what July 4th means.

Liberals especially the DUmp variety, are terminally miserable. Democrats own both houses of Congress, they have their point man in the Oval Office, and as was predicted here and at CU, the primitives are as miserable and full of intolerance and hate as they have ever been. Like an old friend always said "you can't polish a turd".

What an F-tard.

Good...he can work the forth sans the overtime pay.

At least he is consistent..
4th of July -2008 http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4226174
And here is a holiday he would like to celebrate -- United Nations Day - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6814256
but then again, he claims to be Irish American, and flies the Irish flag..

35. No the bullshit that we are all simply "Americans" is bullshit
I am not an "American," I am an Irish-American, and yes I fly the Irish flag. And of course I have loyalty to my heritage that is on par with my loyalty to my country.

Dear DUmmy,
Thanks for once again showing the world what miserable idiots you are and noe please eff off. :bird:

Man, even the other DUmmies are calling him out on his anti-social BS. :lmao:

No. 13 and 35 up there....now that's some funny stuff! What a miserable sonofabitch. I find it hard to believe he even has a wife. I'll have to row over and check it out sometime today. I loved Cherokee's response.

Exactly. It is the event that officially started the process of making us an independent country rather than a colony. Guess what DUmmy, if you want to be exact, nobody's ancestors were in THIS country when the declaration of independence was signed, because guess what, it didn't exist yet.

I bet he'd celebrate "National Free Weed Day".....since he has to pay the other days.

Yep, regular life of the party!
I doubt any of your kin were around in 1776! If they were, they were more than likely collaborators with the British! I think ya ought to call the guy "Matey"!
Frikkin' un-American butt nugget!

I welcome them to leave.
My family was grateful and proud to move here.

He can't be of Irish descent....no way...
I've never known anybody of Irish descent to turn down a reason to party.... :-)

I don't know -- it's probably just me but I refuse to believe this guy is on the level when he writes this stuff. It's just so off-the-wall goofy that I see him laughing his butt off as he's responding and twisting the DUmmies into knots! :-) Does anyone else see it this way?

Naw, it's typical DUmmie speak from the anti-American crowd from the DUmp.

2nd ship after the Mayflower for my lineage. Most of my relatives ended up on Mt. Riga in Ct. - making them 'raggies' - oddly enough, raggie is still used to describe folks up there, as a derogatory term. - it now equates to 'white trash' :rotf: - other relatives of mine who live around the NY,NJ, PA area simply refer to them as 'them mountain people' :lmao:
From The Urban Dictionary...
A term similar to the "N" word in its power to insult, unique to Northwest Connecticut. Refers to lower than low white trash. Winsted residents are sure it refers to some people from Norfolk. Norfolk residents think raggies come from Torrington. Torrington people believe that raggies live in Winsted. And so on.
At the Greenwoods School in Winsted, calling another kid a "raggie" was cause for detention. Mothers would wash the mouth of any child who used the "R" word.
White trash have a car on blocks in the yard, & a couch on the porch. Raggies typically have a couch on the lawn and a car on the porch.
Look out for a two year old raggie throwing rocks at passing traffic. (Route 44, Route 8)

Most of mine migrated to what would become West "by God" Virginia, then later, cause they couldn't sit still, ended up in Kansas at the start of the Santa Fe trail and went into the supply business for those headed to Oregon.

There's Native American in our family too, but most has been bred out over the generations. After all, it was lonely out there on the prairie.
All except for the complexion, high cheekbones and the Buffalo Nickel snozz, every male on my dad's side, including me and my sibs, (my sister too, much to her dismay), still have that trait. Arapaho and Cherokee.

I'm actually one of the few surviving with my surname. As in less that 300 worldwide. There is a far more common Irish surname with a slightly different spelling, and a few shortened versions-- I wonder if I can apply for endangered species funding ? :-) Out of curiosity, I banged my surname into Google Maps to find street names. There are seven. Seven ! -- the biggest is in Boston - its about 4 blocks long. The others are all inconsequential little lanes, cul-de-sacs, or connectors.
The one curious physical trait we have is we all tend to grow extra parts - mainly internal ones. My sister has extra ribs, extra bone material and something like three additional sets of teeth. She looks perfectly fine -- actually she looks a lot like Kylie Minogue. My dad needed a bypass - I say needed because by the time they got around to doing it, they discovered he grew his own. Years ago I cut my hand up on a car fan, broke fingers, cut tendons, severed nerves. I grew them all back by the time they removed the cast. The doctor who removed the cast then re X-rayed my surprisingly functional hand and told me that if he didn't set the hand himself, he would not have believed it was ever broken. My oldest kid had migraines, which I figured were hormonal (and I was right) but to be safe, they gave her an MRI - and discovered she has an extra network of blood vessels feeding her brain. There are a lot of other stories like this...

So I guess we're not endangered any time soon!
Oh and the extra bone parts, must be a Native American thing. Our family has the same thing. It's the extra teeth that are a bitch! It shoves all the teeth together and makes dentists rich! I have an extra rib on both sides too.

Yup, just seven streets for my surname - one in the UK, one in Canada, one in Indiana, and the rest in Massachusetts.
No kidding on the teeth - I need to have another two wisdom teeth out - they are so far back that they are interfering with my jaw. I don't know if the extra parts is a Native American thing for me - but it wouldn't surprise me since my ancestors were here for so long. Genetics is a fascinating topic.

I had two wisdoms taken out when I was 16 and the frikkin' things grew back! The dentist told me it was the first time he'd ever heard of such a thing!

Monacan on my mothers side. Have the dark hair and cheek bones but the European skin tone. I don't tan in the summer but usually turn a nice shade of red.
But I guess I can say I am a Virginian through and through. :-)
