Lately I have been shutting up rightees by
saying forcibly. "If I wanted your opinion, I would watch Fox news!"
It is astonishing how well it works, to shut them down.
sometimes I add "Propagandist" just before opinion, depending on how angry I am.

4. That's a good one!
Opinions are like assholes -- especially if they come from Glenn Beck.

6. "In America, everyone
gets an opinion" just wasn't working anymore.

10. Especially for Fox viewers ...
... who are being fed an opinion.

11. My son in law is not an out and out wingnut or teabagger but he leans that way..
He's also a former Marine..
The funny thing is that he won't shoot with me any more because my groups are nearly half the size of his, he really doesn't know what to think of an aging hippie that can outshoot him by that much.
I'm not sure if I've told him I was on the rifle team for four years in HS or not..

:panic: Ohh, good one! What's next? 'Your mama wears combat boots'?Someone said that to the boy once. He just smiled and said "Yes she does". :-)

Just in case Ol' Hercules don't believe me, I figured I'd show 'em what a real bullet wound looks like. This is just my calf muscle, I'd have to pull my pants down to show ya where it went thru my thigh!
It's about 8 years old now and actually looks pretty damn good now!
It was a real mess when it happened! My thigh and calf were carved up like a Thanksgivin' Turkey!(http://a.imageshack.us/img825/4683/bulletwound.jpg)
I was real fortunate it glanced off the bone or it coulda been much worse!

You know, I live in one of the most liberal areas in the country. I have plenty of liberal friends. I've never had these kinds of encounters. At what point would you be in a public place where this would come up? The only even remotely "controversial" conversations I ever have is laughing with the person next to me at some ridiculous tripe in the tabloids. Bat boy is universally funny, as are Elvis sightings and someone being abducted and impregnated by aliens.

The worst thing was, I was about 70 miles from the nearest ER.
I used the HandyMan's Secret Weapon, Duct Tape, to close the wound until I delivered the idiot who shot me to the local hoosegow! I mean c'mon, first things first ya know! hehe!
Actually, it didn't even hurt until the nurse started scrapin' it out with a wire brush in order to clean it up! I swear that lady was related to the purp!
Cool......I love real men.
Oh really? If anyone wanted yours, they'd' pry it out of George Soros' anus.I'm generally pretty liberal, but I have to admit, that's pretty funny!

I've been meaning to talk to you about your avatar. On my iPad it is very small and looks like a mans arm that is....hmmm, how should I say this??? Pleasuring himself.

I wish one of these nut sacks would try their Fox News meme on me. I haven't had cable since 2003, so I've been Fox News free coming up on seven years.
I don't have cable. I have seldom heard Rush and never Beck.....I got the way I am all by myself and have been conservative all my life.
I tell people that all the time, my Mother was a Democrat and my Father was a Republican, I was born a Republican, I've always identified with them, I never identified with Democrats, I was freaking single digits and I was rooting for Nixon, to my Mothers horror I cried when Nixon resigned, I cried when I couldn't vote for Reagan the 1st time because I wasn't old enough. I love Rush and Conservative talk radio because they agree with me. These people will never get that though.
And to all those from DU lurking? my Mother the Democrat, the woman who campaigned for Stevenson, Kennedy, Johnson, RFK, McGovern and Carter? she became a Republican about 5 years ago, and she's said she doesn't recognize her old party anymore, 1 of her Sisters was considered a Communist in the 1950's, she became a staunch mega Conservative in 1980.
My family were all democrats until Carter screwed us over. Been Repubs ever since, with the exception of one sister and a brother that took too much of the brown acid!
Just in case Ol' Hercules don't believe me, I figured I'd show 'em what a real bullet wound looks like. This is just my calf muscle, I'd have to pull my pants down to show ya where it went thru my thigh!Guess I'll have to take a road trip north sos we can compare scars...LOL

OUCH, Ree! That one almost looks like it's still open/fresh.The pic was taken 6/8/10 so it was only about 6 weeks old..it's darker purple now, but still looks raw at times
I have a scar that's still on my left arm from when I broke the hell out of it a decade or more ago. Still very visible. That one I think, is going to be extremely visible for a long time.Not to bad...it does still burn and itch from the inside sometimes...the one on my butt hurts more..LOL
Hopefully it doesn't hurt too much though.

Ya ever been shot at, hero?
Yes I have, wasn't hit though. :-) That leg looks like it may have hurt a wee bit when it happened. Glad to see you walked it off. :rotf:

:rotf:Yea, that little f&cker....I got scars NO man should have....
I'm sorry to laugh, but I have a cat too. Her razor talons have plunged themselves inside me many a time, and in many a place. But never there! Oh my Lord!!
Just hearing you describe it is honestly painful. I will remember to remain FULLY clothed around my cat at ALL times. :-)
Ditto. I don't like getting around Oreo without being fully clothed (armored, even). Her claws are Hell, and she has zero reservations about using them.
