White, straight man pretty happy sexism, homophobia and racism all sorted out now

A white, straight man has announced that he is satisfied that homophobia, racism and sexism are now all sorted out and we don’t need to worry about any of that anymore.

Simon Williams, an IT consultant from Chipping Norton, made the announcement at a local pub as he ordered a pint of real ale.

“Let’s be honest,” he began, promisingly.

“Trendy right-on people go on about homophobia and sexism and racism, and giving more rights to gays, black people and girls.

“But what they’ve got to realise is that we’ve sorted all that now, in the real world everyone treats black people, women and gays as if they were normal.

“In my company, you be sacked for calling someone the n-word, and rightly so. If that’s not proof there is no longer a racism issue in this country, then I don’t know how I can help you.

Mr Williams went on to explain that he was fine with women and even homosexuals in the workplace.

“We’ve got Mrs Stewart who’s in charge of HR. Now, she must have got that job on merit because you’ve only to look at her to know it wasn’t for her looks.

“Also, there’s Toby, he’s one of the coders. He’s a bender and no one’s got any sort of problem with that.

“I mean, obviously you don’t want to spend too much time talking to him on your own in case he gets the wrong idea, but in a group, he’s fine. A good laugh actually.

“It’s not the 1970s any more people. It’s sorted now, we don’t need you all banging on about more rights for women, blacks, or homosexuals.”

Mr Williams was clear about what society should be focusing on.

He went on, “Thing is, we’ve spent ages focusing on rights for all of that lot and we haven’t really thought about rights for normal blokes like me.

“I haven’t had any new rights for ages.”

The Drumpf Who Stole Democracy



You’re a liar,

Mr. Drumpf!

Your tongue is forked and split:

Every time you move your jaw,

You leave us all in awe -

At the sheer amount of baloney you emit!

You’re a con-man,

Mr Drumpt!

And con’s not short for condiment:

You’d think one time or two,

You would say something that’s true -

Even by some freakish accident!

You’re a scumbag,

Mr. Drumpf!

You’re a nasty piece of work:

The portrait you create

Is smeared with fear and hate -

You’re an all-around, bona fide total jerk!

He is a fucking genius - Paris and Paris Agreement are EXACTLY the same thing



Time for this shit to get serious..... you are being lead by a fucking dangerous moron and as Europe goes up in flames and Brexit is causing economic chaos we no longer have the time to pander to the man child.
I have just finished listening to Bagman podcast by Rachel Maddow - everyone has to listen to this (Agnew and how he fucked everything right about the system to make a buck). Normal Rachel brilliance and a huge lesson on how nasty fucking criminals will always try and take democracy and pervert it for their own ends.... History repeats itself. Has to. No-one ever the fuck listens.

From your ally in the UK. Feeling rather cross....

Right wing take on us LIBRULS! -;)

Apparently Conservatives are just too nice; just too polite. They want to believe us liberals have good intentions that we are just misguided, but they can’t because we are evil…. Hehe

Drum roll please

Enter if you dare in the mind of a pretty blonde right wing commentator who has sooooo very neatly summed up all the reasons why she hates liberals. Gotta tell ya, it is a good thing I had my secret librul decorder ring for rightist doom and fear mongering with me cause this is a doozy. Read for your delectation and delight so you didn’t have too…. Pens at the ready please to tick all that apply

We promote planned parenthood so we can commit genocide on the poor and people of colour
We think people of colour are inferior
We think women are inferior
We want to take their guns away
We want a totalitarian state
We want to stamp out Christianity because we are guilty sinners
We promote evolution because we are guilty sinners
We think we should make all the rules
We want to teach kids about sex because we are promiscuous
We insist on concerns about global warming cause we feel guilty about partying?!?!
We are censoring free speech, because if only conservative voices were properly heard everyone would be a conservative
We are racist, sexist, bigoted….

Oh My!

You see what she did there – take everything that is nasty about the right wing and make it all about us….. clever or deluded….I think I know the answer to that.

The original article can be found here: https://www.wnd.com/2018/12/this-is-why-i-dislike-liberals/ However IMO we should try and limit the number of clicks world nut daily gets....

PS I think she is lying about having a lefty friend. I know of no-one on the left of politics who would consider such a thing!

Massachusetts church's nativity scene features infant Jesus in a cage, wise men separated by fence



The nativity scene, conceived by a church committee, also features the three wise men separated from the Holy Family by a fence. A sign reading, “Peace on Earth?” hangs above the display. “We thought we would kind of put a mirror image of what it would look like if this happened 2,000 years ago,” said Father Stephen Josoma. “It’s kind of a mirror image of where we are at today.”

Currently more than 100 children separated from parents at the southern border continue to remain in U.S. custody, as Trump administration continues to illegally block asylum seekers, who, like the Holy Family, also fled their homes to save their children’s lives. “Is this what peace on earth looks like?” Father Josoma asked. “It’s hard to say we are a people of peace when we are sending soldiers with tear gas to stop people.”

Just a little bit of genius right there. Of course the ones who need to see it would have to remove the planks from their eyes first

Brexiters who've spent over two years saying 'you lost, get over it' still waiting to discover..

..they’ve won



With TheresaMay’s Brexit deal with the EU no closer to being agreed by parliament and many promises already broken, Brexiteers who’ve spent 30 months saying ‘you lost, get over it’ are still waiting to find out precisely what they’ve won.

As the third anniversary of the Brexit vote appearing on the horizon, the mystery Brexit prize was causing much excitement among patriotic Brits who are delighted they’ve successfully taken back control, despite watching what can best be described as a ‘clusterfuck’ unfold before their very eyes.

“I can’t wait to find out what it is that we’ve won,” enthused Simon Williams of Brexit campaign group A Nation United in Sovereignty (ANUS).

“I am hoping it’s a car or a nice holiday, something big and expensive now we’re not wasting all that money on massive pensions for those corrupt faceless Eurocrats Nigel Farage warned us about.
