Post something about yourself, and I will make a sweeping generalization!
I will try to be as condescending, insulting, and unfair to you and the things you hold dear as possible.

Just to start you off: Real liberal Democrats aren't afraid to be talked down to by actual progressives such as myself.

:D

1. I'm to the left of Franco and Pinochet,
and abhor torture, concentration camps, Thatcherism, and aggressive invasions.

3. To the left of Franco?
When will you sad, sad Steelers fans stop reliving the "glory days" of the 70's? Real football fans cheer for the Cowboys. You know, America's Team?.... Why do you hate America?

5. A "polo" shirt, eh?
I'm sure Prince Charles and the rest of the rich, do-nothing elites are very proud of you.

12. You kitten-people are all alike.
Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 06:00 PM by Blue-Jay
In lieu of a rational discussion of the issues, you'd rather post pictures of fluffy, yummy kittens. You also wet the bed more often than the bird-kooks.

18. You should be sharing a cell with Martha Stewart.
People that compliment their own cooking too much are over-compensating for feeling of being unloved.

19. I could use a better camera, myself.
People who take too many photos get on everyone else's nerves. "Wait! Look at that!....No wait! Stay there!.....Lemme redo this one, you squinted too much in the last one...."

Oooo! Ralph Lauren, is it? La-Di-Freakin'-Da! Nothing worse than a slave to fashion in my opinion. It's people like you who keep the Chinese wage-slaves living in conditions not fit for Emo Phillips. Congratulations, guv'nor.

On edit: I apparently cannot spell "tables" today....

50. I have a good friend (a progressive but not a DU member)
who several years ago was annoyed that her car was acting up. It'd run and then suddenly the engine would die. Finally, one day, she dropped it off at the dealership where she had purchased it, and which happened to be across the street from where she works.

They called her on the phone and said "Lady, you won't believe this...."

Well, it seems that a family of squirrels had taken up residence in her engine, had chewed through some vital things that propelled the car forward -- there was even a dead one somewhere in the system.

Well, they removed the corpse and its mourners and replaced those engine parts that needed replacing. From that day to this, she is paranoid about squirrels and calls them Satan.

She also got a new car very soon after this episode.

You have spoken for the others of the thin-skinned variety, and they have screamed a resounding "Waaaaah!"

(to be honest, I'm starting to get a little weary of insulting people. I have a difficult time being mean to folks for no reason, even in jest, for an extended period of time.)
