"If this writer thinks we a funny, she must think paying taxes, worshiping God, raising kids, staying married and following the law is funny too."
She's completely un-funny. Haven't read anything amusing out of her in years. She's a total race-baiter, too. When they were having problems in Madison around the Capitol Square because the "Hip Hop Crowd" was having too much fun at one of their bars and disturbing the new (white, yuppie) tenants of some nearby $500K condos at bar time, Boy Howdy, did she lay it on thick.
You should've heard her crucifying smokers when businesses in Madison were fighting the city-wide smoking ban. She is totally clueless on any social issue, and as for "diversity" she's a white female, always lived in the midwest, has a husband and 2.5 kids and the standard liberal Subaru.
Yeah, she knows sooooo much about everyone else's life. *Rolleyes*
Cross-cultural visits are nice, but I feel safer among my own.
We feel safer with him there too.
Imagine a liberal so color blind he couldn't find a person
of a different race out of all those people, now THAT is
progress ive.
Her, HER! Wouldn't want to be rude and confuse her gender.
Jinkies!
I didn't know Velma got contacts...
Did I miss something? The author does not seem to mention any actual guns that she saw there, focusing instead on the trinkets and stereotyping the attendees - maybe the actual firearms were too yucky and scary and threatening for her to get close enough to actually (gasp) touch one. Or was it just that she was so disgusted by the experience of mingling with those yucky and scary and threatening older white males that she left in disgust before she had a chance to be scared by the guns.
Recently, I (a former Scouter) was at a local Scout Jamboree, (doing a flint-knapping demo) when the bugler played "To the Colors". I just had time to drop what I was doing, get to my feet, face the flagstaff, remove my headgear, and place my hand over my heart -- when the National Anthem started.
Sad to say, walking across the parade ground toward me (with their backs to the flag) were two women in Denmasters' uniforms -- yakking away and ignoring the ceremony. As they came abreast of me, in my best "drill sergeant" voice, (with the volume cranked 'way down) I barked, "Ladies! Honor the Flag!!!
In obvious confusion, they turned around, looked around to see what others were doing, and, finally, saluted. One just put her hand over her heart, and the other (realizing she was in uniform, I guess, rendered a sloppy Scout (not Cub) salute.
As soon as the Anthem was over, they took off like a shot. (Apparently, they feared that I intended to to give them a "dressing down" -- and, truthfully, the thought did cross my mind). '-}
Later that afternoon, they brought their Pack by to see my demo. I couldn't resist saying, "I hope you both are going to go home, read the Handbook, and give these boys a good lesson on proper Flag etiquette at your next meeting...")
Had I been seated near this reporterette, I could not have resisted growling, "On your feet!". And if she didn't stand, my next word certainly would not have been, "Lady"... :-{
I hate people like that.
I still have nightmares about screwing up a flag raising or lowering or folding or not having my "cover" or some other piece of my uniform out of kilter, or making a mis-step while on Color Guard, etc. And I've been out of the Army for nearly ten years now!
I'm glad there are still people like you in this world that take this stuff seriously. It's obviously burned into my brain for all time, LOL!
Keep up the good work. :)
I remember hearing one of the pro gun gay group 'Pink Pistols' put it this way: "What if Matthew Shepard had been packing?".
"I'll bet her husband Matt is a sissy."
Can't say about that, but have you checked to see if Matt is short for Matilda?
;-)
Thank you, I will. :)
I doubt she's worth that either.
I guess the leadership and members of the board couldn't be there?
Typical lefty from Madison...
I say that we infiltrate a moonbat event in return...
Gosh, maybe it isn't the guns that are the problem.
Anyway, these folks sound like decent, safe, lawabiding folks. Not like the sleazy Democrats the author loves so much.
Yeah, and I bet she'd feel real "safe" there, too. Nitwit.
Another gutless wonder driven by fear of everything. Go find a hole and hide there, it is the only place you and your little liberal friends would feel safe.
Me and the rest of the folks at FR will go ahead and enjoy life without you.
Kudos all around for the facilities and the Warm Wisconsin Welcome from the NRA. :)
