DOIN IT WRONG.

Today's "liberals", I mean. By the classic (and dictionary) definition, a liberal is interested in continually increasing individual liberties, not finding ways to limit them.

But now "liberal" means some hippie-ass PETA crap in which you cannot say badwrong things or eat some red meat or shoot inanimate things on your own property, just for the hell of it. No, today's "liberals" are not really any different than the Jesus & Fear crowd on the right. Together, they are the No Fun crowd, and in a CIVILIZED society, they'd be laughed out into the wasteland, and they would breed no more.

But I'm not in a civilized society, I'm in America, and I am told I have to choose between Sean Hannity and Air Fucking America, and the very thought of this false dichotomy makes me want to exhume William Jennings Bryan and shit in his festering ribcage.

Oh, goddammit.

Can't disagree with any of that. Other than others may disagree with your ability to define liberals of today.

So you seem to find the idea of shitting on dead people pretty enticing.

Have you spoken to your therapist about that?

So they were all boys in puffy pants and long coats the 18th century and now they're girls who really should go see a hairdresser?

Hey, the guy standing on the left was the best pit fighter of his day, and the girl is Barbara Streisand, America's Wailer-in-Chief.

yes well, in any case, I guess there's no law against fighting in funny clothes. Check out WWF! I don't think there's a law against wailing either.
