I wonder if Vitalogy, Trixter, Skeptical, Missing KSKD, among others are taking the day off as a holiday.

Why don't you two take your labels and "Shove Em'".

*yawn* Don't you two have anything better to do?

Go Dark!

And no, I'm absolutely not taking the day off.

Why?

Because I'm not a socialist!

EAT THE RICH!

This is a bull shit thread anyway, let's rock!

Yeah, that one might hurt too.

Labels indeed!

Missing, are you by any chance on your employer's clock?

Deane, are you by chance being an ass?

"Deane, are you by chance being an ass?"

It was a legitimate question. Are you sensitive about it?

As is mine!

"As is mine!"

Of course not. Now, your turn to answer.

No.

And that covers all your questions.

Never ask a lib a straight question on May 1st.

They're too busy celebrating with their Internationalist Fellow Travelers.

Herb

I don't even know what that means. I'm going to bet that " Fellow Travelers " are an organization that was part of the culture of the 1950's.(?) And it was probably that era's " boogy man " of which some just can't let go. Always gotta have a boogy man, according to my Grandpa.

Man, I cannot wait until this culture of fear becomes even less influential.

Then again, maybe Fellow Travelers are just dirty hippies or Reefer Madness extras.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellow_traveler

My bad. It dates to 1917.

"Always gotta have a boogy man..."

Damn right!

"They're too busy celebrating with their Internationalist Fellow Travelers.

Herb"

The Red Scare must have scared Herb pretty bad.

Somehow, I knew that the Herbster would be the author of this thread. Hey Herb, Deane, Digitaldextor, and Nwokie: I'd better not catch you guys dancing around a maypole today!!

Now that Herb is the message board's anti-Communist policeman, I can't wait for him to suggest a comparison between himself and Joseph R. McCarthy.

Funny, we so-called socialists only get one day to march and look like idiots, while the neocons have 364 days to do it.

"I can't wait for him to suggest a comparison between himself and Joseph R. McCarthy."

Aw, I'm not worthy to have tied Mr. McCarthy's shoes. Now THERE was a true American.


John Hawkins: Now I heard that you wrote an impassioned defense of tailgunner Joe in the book. Is that the case? If so, why do you think Joe McCarthy has gotten a bad rap?

Ann Coulter: I know he got a bad rap because there are no monuments to Joe McCarthy. Liberals had to destroy McCarthy because he exposed the entire liberal establishment as having sheltered Soviet spies.

John Hawkins: Despite the fact that Communism has been a blight on the world that eclipsed even Nazism, why do you think so many people on the left even today see no problem marching at a rally organized by Communists or supporting Communist regimes like Castro's Cuba?

Ann Coulter: Communism is like vegetarianism in that it's actually not very healthy for most people but leftists continue to defend it because it seems like the thing to do.

Joe McCarthy was as a terrible American and a terrible human being. It figures that you'd look up to him. Talk about fellow travelers.

If not for honourable men like Mr. McCarthy, you'd be eating borscht and talking Russian.

Herbert Milhous McCarthy

Bullshit. McCarthy was more un-American than any commie sympathizer ever was. I can see why you like him though. He's underhanded, fearful, paranoid, and very un-American...just like you. Fellow travelers as you like to say.

Just like Rashes and Itches, the two just go together.

Birds of a Feather!

> Herbert Milhous McCarthy

You said it, not I...

:-0

At long last Herb,

Have you no shame sir?

Other than his being a tad liberal for my tastes, I have no problem being associated with Mr. McCarthy.

Herb

So you do then have a problem with the Constitution?

Naw.

It was written by God-fearing folk.

Herb

Yet you seem to have a certain reverence for individuals who do not respect the Constitution.

"So you do then have a problem with the Constitution?"

Please, Herb - allow me:

I have no problem with the Constitution, but I do have problems with those that would defend an ideology that seeks to destroy the birthplace of constitutional democracy.

As another great American once said, "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!"

Barry Herbert Milhous McGoldwater


How'd I do, Herb?

Gee, I might just become a neocon - it's easy and fun!

You have the right to keep and bear arms but you can't take a frickin bottle of water on the plane! And don't call anybody and complain about it as you never know if your phone is tapped or not.

"...you can't take a frickin bottle of water on the plane!"

Hey, no homeland attacks since 9/11.

If it works, don't break it.

Herb

...you can't take a frickin bottle of water on the plane!

No, but a woman (or anybody for tha matter) can take a pair of aluminium knitting needles on board!!

I can see it now: "Alright, we're going to Cuba. I've got a bottle of Diet Coke and I'm not affraid to use it!"

Yeah, right! Lets hear it for the TSA.

To Herb and Deane_johnson:

Why not give us a day? Lord knows we work ourselves into an early grave so our bosses can walk away rich and we walk away, no wait we don't walk away we just stay on the middle class treadmill staying in the same place. Don't tell me about your family values when you bash on the worker.

What the average worker faces today. Inflation is rendering the US dollar less attractive as a global currency, slashing its purchasing value at home. Jobs continue to leave in droves without ample replacements. Food and energy prices are rising at their fastest rates in 35 years. Health care is becoming a purview of the wealthy. Post high school education, which should be a free to anyone at any point in their lifetime, is becoming prohibitively expensive. I pray that Americans do the right, moral and honorable thing and elect political leadership not rooted in jingoistic fervor but a message which speaks the TRUTH.

That rules out electing any politician or lawyer!

I’ve always felt that lawyer’s have done more to muck up the system than any other occupation in the history of the republic. Most lawyers do little to create but rather make things more complicated. It would be nice to see a person of merit without a law license reach the highest echelons of government. From time to time it happens, but then partisanship takes over and practicality flies out the window. Both sides are guilty of this and in the end, we the people suffer.

Well put!

At the same time, I'd rather have lawyers in a nation of laws, than despots in a nation of men. Gotta take the good with the bad sometimes.

Actually, if we all worked at being better people, we wouldn't have the need for so many attorneys.

Ditto. I rather have it out with a lawyer -- someone who knows better than to hurl out a nitwit comment and have it become part of the record -- than some of underground dwellers in this forum.

"Don't tell me about your family values when you bash on the [socialist] worker."

Read your history about the IWW, wobblies and the hard core left. May Day is all about socialism and promoted by commie front groups.

Wanna honour the worker, whilst avoiding the outright pinkoism? Then celebrate Labour Day.
