the way of the democrat

There is no way to describe what a Democrat should do other than that he should adhere to the Way of the Democrat (kvetching).

I find that all men are negligent of this. There are few men who can quickly reply to the question “What is the Way of the Democrat?” This is because they do not know in their hearts. From this we can see they do not follow the Way of the Democrat. By the Way of the Democrat is meant kvetching. The Way of the Democrat is kvetching. This means choosing to kvetch whenever there is a choice between doing and kvetching. It means nothing more than this. It means never to see things through, being futile. Sayings like “To kvetch with your intention realized is to kvetch honorably”, and so on, are from the weak liberal Bushido. They are unresolved as to whether to keep to their original plan when faced with the choice of doing and kvetching.

Every man wants to act. They theorize with accomplishment kept in mind. “The man who runs for office when he has failed in his intention is a demagogue” is a heartless definition. That to kvetch having failed is to kvetch uselessly is a mad point of view. This is not a shameful thing. It is the most important thing to the Way of the Democrat. If you keep your spirit correct from morning to night, accustomed to the idea of kvetching and resolved on kvetching, and consider yourself as a useless blatherer, thus becoming one with the Way of the Democrat, you can pass through life with no possibility of accomplishment and perform your office properly.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me! :mad: :barf:

This doesn't even pass muster as intelligent political discourse, let alone as insightful satire. I can't believe I'm even dignifying it with a response.

Yeah, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton ... all people who talked, or kvetched, and did absolutely nothing. Real smart, valid point there, cowboy. Did it take a long time for you to think that one up? Did it hurt?

If you don't like to discuss issues, and apparently you don't, maybe you should STAY OUT OF A DISCUSSION FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe we should simply resort to calling each other Demosocialists or Republicofascists and call it an intelligent debate. Who cares about facts when you can have propaganda.

Yeah, it does hit a nerve. If this thing stays up, I guess I'll have no resort but to start posting cartoons about how Republicans are idiots.
 
If the original poster will please edit the post/or the picture of Mr. Fish asking.

Out of all the cuss words out there, the f one is one that I highly find offensive.

Also, read the board rules. A rule was made about using the board censor, changing letters to get pass the board censor, and finding other ways to cuss on the board. Your picture falls under the finding other ways.

Please either delete or edit :).

Plus, it's OT.

Offending picture removed.

That done, as a contributing cartoonist for that notorious bastion of conservatism, Harper's Magazine, Mr. Fish has the best credentials for unloading on Hillary with a litany of her husband's record.
 
So did you or Mr. Fish come up with the "kvetching" bit? Or are you simply framing your own statement with vaguely related cartoons?

Edit: ah, I see, you're making a silly play on some Japanese text. That's great, you take two cartoons that aren't your own, insert words into a text that isn't your own, and pass it off as intelligent and witty political criticism. Why don't you just write "Democrats suck!" and frame it with some angry emoticons? At least it would be original.

Why do I even waste my time?
 
I really would like a discussion but if it doesn't stay right dead on track the moderators close the thread. Heck sometimes you want to drift a bit to elude to why you think something and how you come up with your opinions.

Talking of democrats in the past compared to now would get the thread shut down IMHO and with no warning about the drift. So count me out lest I can give a one word answer:D :eek:

I like that idea Leif. Why so touchy? The only name calling I saw was you calling names. What's the matter Ann Coulter come over and give you a back rub this morning?:D
 
I'm touchy because if I came on here and did the same thing in reverse, I'd get twenty-plus responses chastising me for being a Demosocialist traitor commie pinko scum, and I'm a little tired of it.

If you really think that Democrats suck, then write an intelligent post to that effect so that people can post intelligent responses to it ... and write it in your own words. I really detest pseudo-intellectual people who take and chop up texts not their own and try to pass it off as intelligent commentary.

You know, you've got some people (not many) who post here and make jokes about shooting liberals and about deporting people with whom they disagree. This isn't even necessarily within the political forum, but scattered throughout this site. Is it any wonder that a great many people, who might not otherwise, dismiss "firearms enthusiasts" as "dangerous gun nuts"?
