Good observation. Like crabs in a basket, they don’t let any others escape.

Liberals just don't like seeing purple.

“When you’re almost 60 years old and you’ve been through some things with segregation, this is important.”

And when you're in your mid 40's, and have been the victim of some "reverse discrimination" things because you're a white male, it is friggin' hilarious!

When I saw the picture of the Mall yesterday, I was reminded of Mecca. Replace the Reflecting Pool with the Kaaba, and the sea of red with a sea of white, and you’ve got the Hajj. Lots of similarities between the two groups of people.

“The president should do something to compensate all the purple ticket holders,” she said. “It’s historic, but this put a real damper on it for all of us who came here and failed to get in.”

A call for reparations already?

A friend of mine, who happens to be a liberal in college, was down for the inauguration. He said that the people there were very obnoxious and there was line-cutting all over the place.

He just got a lesson in what liberalism is all about.

This is liberalism in microcosm. Unable to free themselves of the group, they simply pee on themselves and anyone near them. That gets funnier each time I read it. Best laugh I had in a while.

This is something everyone must recognize about the left.
While we would gladly let them extricate themselves and attempt to live their liberal socialist utopia away from us and outside of our influence,
it would be antithetical to their ideology to allow us to go and live unmolested.

Although I see this as about the only option to save human freedom at this point in history, we must recognize that the left will use all means necessary to keep us under their control.

A quote from the article!

At 5:30, I stood in line doing the right thing with tickets,” she said. “This has been ridiculous.”

Welcome to the liberal world my friend.

LHe just got a lesson in what liberalism is all about. Me-first-ism backed with the power of taxation.

I don’t FOX NEWS any more and I’ve been wondering if Shep and Whorealdo have been on air crying and demanding to know why the government left these folks in such a state.

“Cynthia Butler said she had been waiting with her purple ticket since 4:30 a.m. and never made it to the gate. The 53-year-old Arlington, Va. woman said she walked 12 miles, only to get stuck in the crowd.

“The president should do something to compensate all the purple ticket holders,” she said. “It’s historic, but this put a real damper on it for all of us who came here and failed to get in.””

Honey, hurry up and get in the Obama mooching line. Maybe they will give you another hunk of gubmint cheese for your purple ticket.

All it would have taken was one "There's free Pie over there" and the stampede would be on....

Hey, world . . . get a clue:

in the OThuga dictionary

“little people” = “useless eaters” to be exterminated.
