My oldest son went off to college and became a Democrat. If that isn't enough, he constantly tries to convince me that our familys conservative values are wrong and I should vote for Barack Obama. Well that's not happening, but he still tries.
Last week he called me and said, Mom I sent you a book. It will totally change your mind about the election. The next day I receive a package with Paul Begalas (that hateful Clinton shill from CNN) book called Third Term. My first response was Third Term, well that would be much better than the alternative.
I thumbed through the book and in addition to the usually liberal garbage, it contains cartoons, one of which portrays Bush and McCain as the characters in the movie Brokeback Mountain. I didn't even recognize it at first, my son pointed it out and thought it was funny. Well it's not. Portraying our Commander in Chief and a hero like John McCain in this deviant light is offensive.
I've been lurking at FreeRepublic for a while but after I saw these comics I created an account. Its a few days later and I am mad as ever so I decided to write my first post.
Normally I would chalk this up to liberals being liberals, but Begala is on the Communist News Network every day spewing his hate. I needed to take some action. In addition to writing this post, I sent a letter to CNN demanding they remove Begala from the air or at least remove him from Presidential Campaign Coverage. After calling John McCain gay in his book he is no longer fit to be on TV.
I also emailed several Family Values Organizations I am a member of and the McCain Campaign and asked them to speak out. I ask my fellow Freepers to speak up as well. I realize my voice matters little, but as a Christian I need to stand up against this hate.
You need to post a link ma’am.
Your first post was excellent.
Welcome to FR!................!
Sure, it’s offensive - and like everything else so far, this will backfire on them, too.
It’s a vanity. No link required........
Sorry it’s inside a book. Is there a way to put content like that up?
This coming from a DUmmiekrat is strange. If he is using the term “gay” as a derogatory slur, then he must believe that being “gay” is bad and worthy of contempt. Not a good position for a DUmmiekrat to be in.........
I have a child on the way and I would probably feel like a total failure as a parent if she turned out to be a liberal. Anyone know how this can be prevented?
You might want to send this info to Michelle Malkin (at Michellemalkin.com), and if you can get a scan of the offending cartoon that might help.
On an opinion vanity? Um, nope.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. /s
rebadger points out that your post is a vanity and as such requires no link.
I was in a bar in DC once with some friends and after a while Paul Begala turned around and yelled “what the bleep are you all laughing at?”. We told him we had been throwing darts at the back of his head for the last half hour.
Huh??? begala making a suggestion that gays are freaks??
Your first post is great. It is a reaction to Begala’s consistently nasty persona. In the past, Begala and Carville had some kind of TV show where they commented politically. I can’t remember which show or what station.
Begala was always small minded and mean spirited, almost evil. Whereas Carville was more of an ‘entertaining’ liberal, not gutter minded.
Begala’s persona is almost sociopathic in his presentation.
Nice Job and welcom to FR
Here’s a few gems for you now democRAT indoctrinated son.
The democRAT party is the home of every type of criminal and pervert imaginable.
Democrats...the party of Slavery, Segregation, Sodomy, and Sedition
Give a Liberal a thought and he’ll repeat it mindlessly all day. Teach a Liberal to think for himself and he’ll vote Republican for the rest of his life.
What the liberal mind is passionate about is a world filled with pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice.
They are poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised, exploited and victimized. They bear no responsibility for their problems. None of their agonies are attributable to faults or failings of their own: not to poor choices, bad habits, faulty judgment, wishful thinking, lack of ambition, low frustration tolerance, mental illness or defects in character.
None of the victims plight is caused by failure to plan for the future or learn from experience. Instead, the root causes of all this pain lie in faulty social conditions: poverty, disease, war, ignorance, unemployment, racial prejudice, ethnic and gender discrimination, modern technology, capitalism, globalization and imperialism.
In the radical liberal mind, this suffering is inflicted on the innocent by various predators and persecutors: Big Business, Big Corporations, greedy capitalists, U.S. Imperialists, the oppressors, the rich, the wealthy, the powerful and the selfish.
Freedom of speech must never be suppressed, except for criticism directed at minorities, non-Christian religions, homosexuals, communists, illegal aliens, and other constituencies of the Democrat party.
For the moment, the ideological heirs of those that believe the flames of liberty must be extinguished and the aspirations of the individual curtailed for the alleged good of humanity have grown more sophisticated in their methods of getting the people to comply with their agenda. However, as Americans draw ever closer to the breaking point of just how much they are willing to put up with as frankly we are fast approaching the threshold where there is precious little left for the state to steal, we must ask with concern will the aspiring despots among us resort to the violent tendencies of their philosophical progenitors in the attempt to bring about socialisms ultimate triumph
He will wake up when he gets his first regular paycheck after he graduates. I know I did. I was a lefty loser until 1975 when I graduated and found out I was expected to make it on my own.
Hope you aren’t paying his college bills. Nothing makes it easier for the left on colleges to enroll young men & women into their ranks than kids with too much time on their hands while having their tuition and board being paid by mom & dad.
Consider charging your son $1000 to $5000 for each presidential election in which he votes democrat. Don’t collect now; just charge him in your estate. Pass the money on to another relative.
Can you give us the name of the book? I’d like to dig into this further.
