Pathetic.

1. Melvins - Sacrifice

Can you hear the war cry?
It's time to enlist
The people speak as one
The cattle, the crowd
Those too afraid to live
Demand a sacrifice
Of your life

Can you smell their stinking breath?
Listen to them
Wheezing and gasping and
Chanting their slogans
It's a grave digger's song
Praising God & State
So the Nation will live
So we all can remain as cattle
They Demand a sacrifice
Of your life

Can you smell the fresh blood
Steaming into the soil?
As our patriots, Fathers, mothers and lovers
Admire the military style
Praising God and the State
Crying tears of pride
For all the fools slaughtered
For the maimed, the dying
And the dead
So the Nation will live
So the people will remain as cattle

They Demand a sacrifice
They Demand a sacrifice
They Demand a sacrifice
Of your life

2. Even more pathetic when liberals say it.

And some do.

[unpossibles]

3. I don't know - I find it most pathetic among the Right if only because

they are the ones who like to talk about drowning government - without once stopping to consider that it makes more sense to be the government than to destroy it. We the people and all that jazz....

9. Aren't we the ones who often quote Franklin...about trading liberty for security???

sheesh

[unpossibles]

12. Yes, but I still think that the right tends to be worse about wanting a daddy state

Seriously. They tend to pass much more restrictive morality/vice laws, more stringent terror laws, and in general to be more worshipful of authority figures. Yes, it definitely happens on the left too, but not to the same degree at all.

4. And just what did the mean ol' liberels want to save you from

that you are just too smart to do on your own? Let me guess, they want to take away yer gunz!

[konnichi wa]

8. Ahm just a dumb ole Okie, I cain't do nuthin on mah own.

I really hope you were being sarcastic...if not you're welcome to have the gummint save you from yourself and everyone else - cradle to grave.

[Arctic Dave]

10. No sarcasm at all. It must be nice living your entire life without

help from anything. Somehow I don't that happened. But what is it that the "gummit" is doing that I should be offended for because I should be doing it myself?

[konnichi wa]

11. Evidently the OP was referring to something I didn't recognize,

I assumed it was a general comment...which I find idiotic without any context.
IOW, there's probably 'more to his story'
Or not.

5. The GOP Needs To Change Its Mascot From The Elephant To...

a scared rabbit.

[Initech]

7. Or how about Super Chicken?

6. And then they complain about Obama and the idea of "big government".

Fuckin' hypocrites, each and every one of 'em! :eyes:
