“Ah do enythin fo mah keeds. I loves ’em.”
Was the constant bleat of my former neighbor Roger, a drunken layabout who often bitched all day about the tall grass and then sent his wife out after she got off work to mow it.
I often thought to myself, Really, Roger? Suppose you would get out of that bottle for your kids? Put down the smokes? Toss out the one hitter? get a job? Stop making your wife support your useless ass? Buy some clothes for your kids instead of making them garbagepick at goodwill?
No, what Roger actually meant was “I’ll do anythiing for my kids if it’s not too inconvenient, looks heroic, and doesn’t involve too much exertion”.
Many of the people I know, they get this. Unfortunately a powerful lot of people do not.
“I love my country. I would do anything to keep the freedoms my forefathers fought for”
Really? What are you doing today? Are you whining about how someone else is doing it wrong? Bitching about the choices we have, or the lack therof? or are you finding ways however small to fix it?
Trust me, you don’t want a bloody revolution. As often as not, the wrong people end up on top, in those. And frankly, most people are ready, willing, and able to capitulate the moment their cable quits. If you’re not capable of dealing with the drudgery of the tedious and arduous war of attrition and subversion, and the soul sucking futiliy that it brings on a day to day basis, if the shit hits the fan you aren’t going to be much use either. Love your country? Love your freedom? Will you do anything? How about if it’s not easy, convenient, heroic, or fun?

Try to help some one else every day
Do something you really don’t want to but still needs doing every day.
Do something you like to do every day
Do something to improve something or someone every day.
No days off. Nuff said.
And find some way to make the morons pay, no matter how small it is.
Spend some time forward deployed in the military, THEN come home and kick the lazy F’ers asses… And yes, MAKE THEM PAY!
Even Liberals are laughing at Roberts:

I once interrupted an argument two guys were having over a college football rivalry. The Wimpy Mamma’s Boy was droning on about how the other guy’s team only won the Big Game that year because it was full of felons and that a dozen or so players had been arrested in the last year. When I’d had enough I reminded WMB that, last time I checked, there are no mugshots on the score board. A win is a win.
I don’t care how Righties sugar coat it…. this was a Big Fkn Win for Lefties.
Hell, it may have even a Big Fkn Deal. Literally. The Lintwife wondered aloud how much bigger Robert’s bank account is now than before the decision. Damn. Even I hadn’t thought of THAT angle.
God I love that woman.
Agreed, I don’t want to see a revolutions (at least not of the shooting kind). The one that started the good ol’ USA was a rarity, it left the people freer than they started. That doesn’t happen too often, and I don’t think we have the people to lead such a revolution again.
Also agreed that we need to turn it around. I like the way Bill Whittle puts it, that’s it’s a ratchet, we tighten it one click at a time. If we go forward three clicks and back two, we still have a net gain of one even though losing the two sucked.
Every Republican running for office this year, from President right down to local dogcatcher, should be trumpeting the fact that Obamacare is a tax, even the Supreme Court said so, and all these after The One promised no tax increase on people making under 200K. Stop messing around with issues like abortion and gay marriage that turn off half the people that might vote for you, start banging the drum of repealing the Obamatax and bringing about fiscal responsibility and getting government out of the way of improving the economy.
Oh, the candidates can each send me $100 for my consulting fees. I promise to spend it all on domestic beer from local businesses, but reserve the right to buy foreign-made liquors (with the attendant import duties) from those same businesses. See, I support local business AND pay taxes to the government.
“See, I support local business AND pay taxes to the government. ”
I do like the way you think, even though I don’t drink.
“I do like the way you think, even though I don’t drink.”
I decided a number of years ago not to drink any more. At the same time, I decided not to drink any less.
I’m allergic to alcohol. I break out in handcuffs.
Those pesky hand cuffs. They do seem to abound around a good drunk.
I also had to stop drinking but I did it because drinking made my face hurt. I’d drink, fall on my face, then it would hurt.
I’m trying to weaponize mustard gas for my AR via a flare launcher. It’s baby steps, but we build upon our successes.
Shotshells full of capsicum powder. Easy peasy. Add some salt for the one-two punch of WTF.
Gadzooks don’t get me started on people who refuse to lift a finger to do anything for themselves…and then complain when they experience poor outcomes.
Never their fault, oh no! It’s this, or that, or the other thing; it’s not because they couldn’t be f-ed to do something.
I was hoping for infectious blisters and alveoli scars, but capsicum works.
Beer goggles. ‘Nuff said.
