Falling into a coma while watching a Super Bowl game is a strange experience. It happened to me last night. Yesterday afternoon I came down with a cold that got worse and worse. By the time the Super Bowl started I was barely on the conscious side of comatose while lying on my couch trying to watch the game. Basically I was falling into and out of consciousness during the first half of the game, barely aware of what was real and what wasn’t. My last lucid thought about the Super Bowl was the ceremony honoring the veterans, including the military currently serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. At that point I JUST KNEW this was going to irk the DUmmies as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Is anyone else here appalled by the nationalism in the Super Bowl?” As usual, the DUmmie whines are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, still recuperating from a touch of the flu, is in the [brackets]:
Is anyone else here appalled by the nationalism in the Super Bowl?
[Gee. I wonder what the answer to that question is going to be? Such a toughie.]
yes my husband. he just turned off the superbowl to watch sci-fi channel.
[What was on the sci-fi channel? “Attack of the Forty Foot Bolshevik?”]
The false appearance of national unity the fraudulent linkage of a sordid colonial war to WWII. If our national prestige could fall any lower with our traditional allies this will do it.
[Yeah. Our traditional allies are going to be influenced by the Super Bowl.]
I know, it's insulting to those who fought in WWII for them to use WWII to glorify the imperialist wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
[I thought the Democrat talking point was that being in Afghanistan was correct but Iraq was wrong. Thanx for the clarification since you have shown that the DUmmies think even going after Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan was bad.]
I'm glad I am not watching it. I used to be a loyal football fan--no more. I suspected this fascist overview would reign--sports events are susceptable to propagandist devices now. If it is true--I shy away, much as I like sports.
[Maybe you should become a curling fan.]
It's the 1936 Berlin Olympics Redux
[And that is Leni Riefenstahl’s camera you’re feeling up your butt.]
amazed. disgusted. and somewhat sickened. kind of like Germany and the nazi Olympics... or what I would have expected in communist Russia in the days of old...spreading the "freedom" bs a bit thick and deep and the militaristic rah-rahs gave me a nauseating jolt. have turned off the telly at this point. Frankly i would have preferred another Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction...
[This year we were treated to a DUmmie mental malfunction.]
IT IS SICKENING... I used to live in Jacksonville and I can't believe the way in which the bush fascist empire has taken over a previously incredibly healthy get together sports time in jacksonville...There will be true celebration on the streets of MURRRIKKKAHHHH the day the bush fascist empire falls...as it has always happened anywhere when dictatorships of the right or of the left fall.
[Election Day must have been tough for you. Very tough.]
The Super Bowl is tonight? Wow, guess I just forgot....Have they scored any home runs yet?
[No but the hockey puck got slammed into your head.]
Actually I was far, far more appalled that New England won. But that's just me.
My grandfather.
The DUmmies seem to think so.
I don't think they'd take me. If my account is still there, it has been inactive for months, with only about 200-300 posts. Plus, I've never donated.
best line from Back To School:
"Violent ground acquisition games such as football is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war."
Well, half of them are on some kind of anti-somthinorother, and the other half have to come up with more ways to keep them on the gubment dole, so what do you expect to come out of their mouths?
"Violent ground acquisition games such as football is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war."
ROTFL!
What is the Norway ping list?
Signed,
Clueless in Atlanta
lol-I just saw that movie the other day. The DUmmies came instantly to mind.
Madam, I am sorry; my omission.
I thought I had already "recruited" you for the "Norway ping list" some time ago. But as many on Free Republic complain about "too many pings," I add only those who ask to be on it.
The "Norway ping list" is a pale imitation, a sordid emulation, a sorry excuse of a clone, of the most-excellent, magnificent ping lists put out by P.J., Mr. Silverback, Doug from Upland, and Charles Henrickson, on their specific interests.
One cannot be too modest about the "Norway ping list."
Anyway, in all seriousness, the "Norway ping list" is a two-times a day posting of events in Norway, one of our most gallant allies in the War against Terror, with a financial and military presence in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
The "Norway ping list" got started because--believe it or not, there are real genuine authentic Norwegians (in Norway, even) in Free Republic, and one of them complained a couple of weeks ago that Free Republic is "anti-Norway."
So as to rehabilitate the image of Norway, this ping list.
Alas, nothing much happens in Norway, the Nebraska of Europe.....
OK, I'll give it a whirl. I'm not Norwegian, but what the heck.
<<not Norwegian either, but what the heck.
Hope you feel better.
I know; I was being sarcastic. ;)
Welcome aboard, PINGEE #599.
I'm back and feeling LOTS better. I'll have another DUFU up later this morning and another one up tonight.
They are just sickening. They should all move to France since they hate America so much....
Hey, PJ!
Another gem.
(satire alert on)
Ah, if only Bush really did control the media. If only Leni Riefenstahl were still alive to make a Bush version of "Triumph of Will." If only Rove could channel the spirit of Joseph Goebbels. We could have had an inaugaral to make the Nuremburg rally look like a Sunday school picnic.
I can picture platoons of black-uniformed Homeland Security stormtroopers marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to the rousing strains of John Williams' "Imperial March". (the theme from Empire Strikes Back.)
At last, we would be one nation, one people, ein reich, ein volk, Haliburton uber alles!
And due to the threat to Liberals from "reactionary elements outside the government" they would have to be interned- temporarliy, of course, for their own protection.
And these DUmmies actually think this is a fascist state out to get them? They have no clue what could happen to them if they really did lose their freedom!
