Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

Serious senators should shun the shibboleth "deal" sham shoved shockingly down their throats by the shaky seven. The sheeple should awaken, shake off the shoddy leadership of the McCainiac shills, shouting down their senatorial shinola, and seeking to elect straight-thinking strong conservatives.
(Sometimes I make an ESS out of myself) ;-P
What a great day to celebrate another year of life! Happy Birthday, gee.
An odd week for me. Found a pile of old "National Review" mags from the late 60's - early 70's, and I've been leafing through them. Only to have the Watergate hubbub resurface in the news.
What's most interesting is how nothing's changed. Except, of course, what was considered leftist fringe is now liberal shibboleth.
"Pro-choice" is the liberals' shibboleth
It stands, like a ninety-foot monolith
By the left's allocution
Part of our Constitution
Like most of their premises, fib or myth
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Am I on time?
Morning! A quick one, then I'm off to work-
The MSM's new shibboleth-
Their latest icon of slime
Is the one who dropped the dime on
Partners in the Watergate crime
But is Felt really "Deep Throat"
Or is his confession just a ruse
By the ratings-challenged networks
To try to make real news
Or is it that his family
Finds itself down on luck
And so promotes a sleazy book deal-
Anything to make a buck
It's orginal function was a filtering device, the unknown (to the user) nuances of which would belie the user as a spy.
So, it's kinda fun that the Left goes apoplectic when we spot their code words and call them on it. Politically correct terms, refusing to call a terrorist a terrorist, always using the phrase, "right wing" to describe a Republican, and never using "left wing" to describe a Democrat, are all shibboleths that helpfully identify the smiling speaker no matter what else they may profess.
We've even evolved to shibboleth sarcasm with phrases like, "pajamajadin" or "not that there's anything wrong with that" or, "I have the utmost respect for our troops, but..."
Now, off to work!
Happy B'day, G.
Believing the Bible
has become
a big shiboleth
branding those
who choose to believe
that their genitalia's bing
has more beatitude
than the Holy Spirit.
Deep Throat's uncover
Ends media shibboleth.
'Twas all politics.
We have our secret back!
(No "2" !!!!!!!!!!!)
Interesting that the ole Isreali's were makin' fun of their tribemens who lisped. Now, the lispers are in cahoots with the Jews and eastern liberals to destroy Isreal (er, support the Arabs/Palestinians) against America.
Oh well, shibboleth cometh and shibboleth goethe.
(Happy Bday, GWMoore!)
Would Ann Coulter devise a shibboleth in order to talk to a liberal (if we must)?
Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence.
