not my words, but i must agree

[glassgowkiss]

something i found on internet:

Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.

 

And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?

 

Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?

 

No, No. Get the fuck out. We're not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don't get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I've been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off.

 

Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What's more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don't think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn't be so fucking arrogant if I wasn't paying for your fucking bridges, bitch.

 

All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a shithole," we said, but you had to have your fucking orange juice.

 

The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

 

Let’s talk about those values for a fucking minute. You and your Southern values can bite my ass because the blue states got the values over you fucking Real Americans every day of the goddamn week. Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? It’s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, that’s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think that’s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we're-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible Belt is doing its fucking part.

 

But two guys making out is going to fucking ruin marriage for you? Yeah? Seems like you're ruining it pretty well on your own, you little bastards. Oh, but that's ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we're fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you're fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that's a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don't talk about religion as much as you because we're not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes? No, you're too busy erecting giant stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in buildings paid for by the fucking Northeast Liberal Elite. And who has the highest murder rates in the nation? It ain't us up here in the North, assholes.

 

Well this gravy train is fucking over. Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your ass.

 

And no, you can't have your fucking convention in New York next time. Fuck off. "

[stinkyclimber]

Brilliant. If only the politicians could be so brave as to say even 10% of this stuff (because of course, some of it is awfully skewed or selective, but fuck it, the sentiment is right, and it is more enjoying to read than the usual political bumph.)

 

Canada might want to adapt it for our own use: replace any references to "the South" and "red states" with "Quebec", and references to "the North" and "Blue states" with "the Rest of Canada". I may just try that right now.

 

Oh, and we'd have take out the bit about killing half a million people to stop them from leaving...Canadians are much too polite and patient to bother progressing to actual violence over political disagreements (thankfully).

 

Carry on.

[Thrill]

hey Glass, you are my hero, man!

[barkernews]

Glass,

That made me want to stand up and salute!!!

Blue states rule.

[bunglehead]

Hmm..that kind of puts into words what I've been thinking for a while.

[catbirdseat]

You share a common vocabulary with whoever it was who wrote that. A good read. He said all the things we liberals think but are too civil to express.

[Bill_Simpkins]

The South solves all of their problems with guns and Jesus.

by no means i am liberal. i believe in finacial responsibility. i believe in freedom of speach, travel and expression. this administration is the closest thing to a communism you guys dare to experience. i strongly think people ought to compare what this administration is saying and doing and people should start asking some hard questions before things turn to complete shit.

what about the separation of church and state? do we want to end up with our own version of taliban-jesusland?

I woke up today to some Republican asshole on NPR going on about how the "condescending" liberals pissed off voters with their elitist attitude. I can't believe that they can get away with such bullshit... it's yet another of the fallacies that gets repeated so many times in the media that it becomes the new truth.

 

Concrete examples of local Republican condescension, from Dino Rossi:

- Let's put unwed mothers into group homes, because they and their families can't take care of themselves.

- "...does it make sense that every insurance plan is required to cover acupuncture? I think most reasonable people would say no."

 

My girlfriend flies into a rage whenever she hears Rossi talk about either of those things.

[bunglehead]

Or how about that new Senator from Oklahoma that said something like "Lesbianism is so rampant in Oklahoma achools that the girls have to go the bathroom one at a time" Give me a break.

[selkirk]

Republicans can be just as condescending, it's just occurs on other issues. They seem to be under impression that they are the experts and absolute authority on all things moral.

[slothrop]

That same Senator wants to give doctors the death penalty for performing abortions.

[iain]

Only tools complain about rampant schoolgirl lesbianism.

[selkirk]

, either that or he's still successfully supressing his secret life and his "friends" at the lodge, and finds all girls icky.

Arguments are so much more convincing when "fuck" is used at least once a sentence. Typical left-wing eloquence...

[Blake]

A bunch of the "founding fathers" (Jefferson, Washington, Henry.....) were Southern slaveowners.

[catbirdseat]

Yes and Jefferson freed his as I recall, though Washington did not.

[Blake]

Yes and Jefferson freed his as I recall, though Washington did not.

 

Other way around. Washington freed his his slaves in his will, Jefferson just raped them.

[dryad]

Blake, what exactly is your point? Did anybody ever suggest that Washington and Jefferson were perfect models of progressive ideology by modern standards? Of course they're not. They didn't want women to vote either. Times change, and one can only judge historic figures relative to the standards of their own time. No state-sponsored religion was a pretty radical concept back then, for example. Oh wait, maybe it still is.

[Alpinfox]

...Jefferson just raped them.

 

Do you have any evidence to support that accusation? I've never heard that before. I've always heard that it was a consentual affair (as consentual as sex between a slave owner and his "property" can be anyway).

[Blake]

Blake, what exactly is your point? Did anybody ever suggest that Washington and Jefferson were perfect models of progressive ideology by modern standards? Of course they're not.

 

Dryad, this is what i was responding to by posting that mnay of our founding fathers were southern "red-staters":

 

Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?
