The Purple Middle Finger – The Perfect Metaphor for Victory on November 7
Self

Posted on 10/28/2006 10:53:41 PM PDT by TakeChargeBob

We all remember the pride and tears of joy that we shed as we watched the Iraqi people proudly douse their fingers in purple ink and vote in defiance of death threat from the terrorists. They realized that they were in the middle of the War for their Civilization. We cannot forget that so are we. As terrorists are planning on ways to destroy our civilization, we have as much obligation as the Iraqi’s to vote in order to protect our country by not weakening in the face of opposition. Not caring that we are in a long battle with extremists who salivate over the possibility of committing mass murder and destroy our society, America is portrayed as the enemy by the Rats and the media who are consumed by hatred. Think about the wire tapping of calls to foreign countries and the extracting of useful information from the terrorists that have actually thwarted attempts to kill us. While to most Republicans, these acts are a slam dunk, to the Rats and the media, Bush is the terrorist and these acts are plausible reasons for impeachment. Look no further than the treasonous NYT disclosing harmful secrets in time of war. Abu Ghraib –anyone? Have we lost our minds at the possibility of electing the blame America crowd? The worst of these perpetrators are poised to take leadership positions in the House. Unlike our congressional leaders, the Rats know how to use the power in their positions.

The media is in full force throwing pre-election parties in anticipation of killing the Republican Congress. They gleefully cast negative stories and extol or conduct biased polls to revel in the fact that the Republican Congress is dead. The Foley revelation became a 2 week Mardi Gras with continuous drunken euphoria. How dare the sleazy Republicans quote Webb’s novels. But don’t forget Macaca. Many of us are disgusted with the overt bias that we are seeing. We are angered at the media behaving like Al Jazeera American style. How does it make you feel seeing the LSM (Lame Stream Media) get orgasmic over the anticipation of the Rat takeover?

The only appropriate response is a give a big FU and vote and get others to vote. How sweet it will be to see the faces of the LSM realizing that the Rats in this environment could not gain control. If they are also defeated in 2008, there is potential for their party to disintegrate. Purple reminds us to have no less determination than the Iraqi's in standing up for our county. The middle finger is our response to the Rats and the LSM. The perfect metaphor for this election is The PURPLE MIDDLE FINGER.

For those good people who are temporarily misguided by thinking to sit out or even worse vote Rat, there are many reasons that have been discussed why this is not the best path (i.e. Judges, WOT, Taxes, Immigration – a Rat congress will enact the Bush plan or worse with the result of millions of more Rat voters). The one idea that I would offer that a protest vote at this time will be a miserable failure because it will be misinterpreted as it will be taken as a vote against Iraq. It will be interpreted as we need to get out of Iraq immediately and thereby embolden the terrorists. Now is not the time for a tactical retreat. Think PURPLE MIDDLE FINGER.

One for each hand. Which symbolizes sticking it in the eyes of babbling boobs like Joe the Scarred Burro (what a jackass!). Oh! There's a few "Meet the Depressed" FReepers that goes for, too.

We're using a purple finger on our GOTV door knockers here. They are dynamite.

This doesn't make sense to me. Here's a picture I'm using on a discussion board:

The inked finger means "Look, I voted." It indicates pride in being a new voter in Iraq. They didn't put ink on the middle finger, just the index finger. Pride in voting doesn't jive with a "FU" message. Or maybe I'm not understanding the explanation.

There are no contradictions.

There are 2 messages. Purple is pride. The FU is to the LSM and the Rats who are undermining this country by the hate. It also represents wiping the smile off their faces and making them miserable. That would cause me great pride.

I hope that this explanation helps.

Turn this anger into action. Support a candidate. If you can, send a donation. It is not too late. If you can send a donation AND volunteer at a local HQ. If you can send money, volunteer and pray. Praying is our secret weapon.

Tarantulas aside, it's a super idea. I also like the twisted version of two inked fingers symbolizing sticking them in the eyes of the dems and the DBM.
