If it's a liberal getting engaged to another liberal, I agree. Send them a sympathy card instead.

On this theory, you could never congratulate anyone because there is always someone else who missed out.

Maybe they should erase the word “congratulations” from the vocabulary altogether. Someone’s bound to have their feelings hurt.

Trophies are expensive, and we’re going to be needing a lot of them. I suggest participation ribbons instead. Gray ones.

I seem to remember alot of congratulating when gay couples got married.

January 21, 2017, turn your TV’s and radios on mute. Liberals are going to be unhinged.

If Hillary had won, the word ‘congratulations’ would have been designated as a hate crime.

I’m starting to be inclined to bash liberals in the head with a baseball bat ... just on general principles.

Tho, when offering congratulations to a new couple it is considered Emily Post-wise good manners to direct them to the groom instead of the bride. (unless the couple is groom/groom, I would guess?)
