(39 posts)Everybody uses profanity - some sparingly and others excessively. But, people who can only
articulate their opinions by using terms like "douche bag" and "dickhead" will never be taken
seriously by anyone. These are the kind of pointless invectives you see scrawled above urinals
in a bus station men's room.
George Carlin was right. The "F" word should be reserved for life-crisis situations, like being
pulled over by a highway patrolman when you have an empty vodka bottle propped between
your legs.
To me, liberal websites serve a dual purpose. One is disseminating news, facts and information
other media sources ignore or misrepresent. The other is providing a free-speech forum where
struggling students and ordinary working people can vent their frustrations. I don't mind reading
a short-winded tirade, cursing all the obnoxious gasbags, corporate toadies and psuedo-Christians
who peddle propaganda on Fox "News". Enduring eight miserable years of "Georgie Bush", followed
by four more years of GOP Obama-bashing, is enough to make the most reasonable person start
muttering X-rated insults at their television set.
I guess I like thinking we Democrats are smarter and "classier" than the hairy, almost toothless
Bozo who held up this sign at a Tea Party rally: "Fuk you, baby killer Commys!"
