Word For The Day, Tuesday July 18, 2017
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
ovine [oh-vahyn, oh-vin]
-adj
pertaining to, of the nature of, or like sheep.
[1820-30; < Late Latin ovīnus, equivalent to Latin ov(is) sheep + -īnus -ine]
Baaaa, er, um, ping, that is.
Ovine... synonymous to democrat voters (see -> sheep)
The ovine nature of liberals is central to elitists holding onto power.
The FR religious forum
Has a lot to opine.
Some pray and some complain,
And some come just to whine.
Some expound, and others teach,
And theology, comb so fine,
Some have aging wineskins,
In which they stuff New Wine.
I’d rather serve the Shepherd
Even if it’s ovine,
Then serve unrighteous mammon
(usually depicted as bovine!)
:-)
McConnell has something in the oven
And it’s just nothing but mutton
He’ll go no further
With this nothing burger
Blithely shepherding his flock that’s ovine
The sycophants of Sanders are ovine
But Bernie loves money, says, “Yo’ mine”
To the snowflakes and jerks
Socialism just works
They think Venezuela is so fine
Sheep lie
:-)
That’s really good!
Oh, hey, Russians!

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Republican Reps. Lamar Smith and Randy Weber say Russians apparently funneled money to U.S. environmental organizations to spread an anti-fracking message. They quote a former secretary-general of NATO, who said Russia “engaged actively with so-called nongovernmental organizations — environmental organizations working against shale gas — to maintain dependence on imported Russian gas.”
If Dems are ovine,
we had better be lupine
and have a nice lunch.
Why Thank You! :-)
Yup. Russians.
Well it only took 6 1/2 years to turn my Senator into a liberal democrat. Portman no on repeal.
Don’t people know it’s things like this that got us Trump?
Treason, too. And collusion.
Even the repeal being talked about wouldn’t repeal the ugly regulations. It’s a farce. I would rather nothing be changed and Dems celebrate that they have preserved Obamacare.
I don’t see a path to free market reforms that does not involve going to single payer and then letting the dense see how much it sucks.
People who once lived behind the Iron Curtain were real good advocates for free markets.
DJT is attempting to hack away at the O-vines of creeping socialism choking our society that his predecessor had cultivated which fostered an ovine & bovine populace, all while battling with the Rovine element of the Party that he purportedly represents…
Looks like that’s what we are going to get. No changes. Death spiral.
Probably single payer after that.
