Real Americans, please stand up

This post just has my imagination running wild as I picture little Bob precociously wrecking havoc on the unsuspecting teachers and students in grammar school.

I posted this last week ;-)in the thread "Does Everyone Hate Pres Obama"

No, that was the start of the article. :lol:

Very good column.

"..........I?m genuinely ashamed of us. How sad this whole mosque business is. It doesn?t take much, it seems, to lift the lid and let our home-grown racism and bigotry overflow. We have collectively taken a pratfall on a moral whoopee cushion.

Our goal in at least one of our Middle East wars is to rebuild a government in our own image ? with democracy for all. Instead, we are rebuilding ourselves in the image of those who detest us. I hate to see my country ? and it?s a hell of a good one ? endorse what we purport to hate, besmirching what distinguishes us from countries where persecution rules.

I remain amazed and really, sincerely, want to understand this. What can it be that is faulty in so many people?s thought processes, their ethics, their education, their experience of life, their understanding of their country, their what-have-you that blinds them to the fact that you can?t simultaneously maintain that you have nothing against members of any religion but are willing to penalize members of this one? Can you help me with this?

Set aside for the moment that we are handing such a lethal propaganda grenade to our detractors around the world.

You can?t eat this particular cake and have it, too. The true calamity, of course, is that behavior of this kind allows the enemy to win."

OMG I feel like I just accidentally opened the door on a swingers party.

I've been to a swinger's party. Looks nothing like anything here. So what exactly are you saying?

Just to let you know, if your next swinger's party resembles this thread, you've been had.

This thread makes me wanna take a shower.

Did you even read the column?

I'm still trying to find the sexual content but to no avail.

You have to put on your "John Wayne World View" goggles to be properly aghast Lucifer.... 😉

I feel neglected. I am never invited to the sowal swingers parties... :(

Real Americans, Please Stand Up
By DICK CAVETT


All this talk about the mosque reminds me of two things I heard growing up in Nebraska.

I had a 6th grade teacher who referred to American Indians as ?sneaky redskins? and our enemies in the Pacific as ?dirty Japs.? This abated somewhat after I asked one day in class, ?Mrs. G., do you think our parents would like to know that you teach race prejudice?? She faded three shades.

The rest of that year was difficult.

My Mother would have pulled me out of that school. That's pretty gross, actually.

Ahh! Us multi-cultural nihilistic hedonist left wing socialist commie transexuals.

Maybe you should crash one. That would be intrepid for sure!

Kurt has good security unfortunately. 😉

True, he is a bit of a camera buff.

Speaking of sowal swingers parties, are we doing a fall soiree? 😀

Well dang, do All Y'all swing?
