I’ve got a better solution: don’t give anything to environmental wackos ...

I loved my brown uniform (1505's) but I was in the service.

Loved my jungle (see Rain Forest) fatigues more.

I doubt that any one person could maintain The List of Everything Progressives Want Banned. Some jobs are just too big to do.

"There is nothing that makes people festive that progressives do not have an issue with."

I call them "atheistic Puritans." They don't like it. They're the classic "t*rd in the punchbowl."

Yeah, but the Sunday comics are printed on cheap newsprint.

They sound like Puritans.

Why are liberals so set on telling people what to do? They are certainly misnamed, as they don’t believe in liberty.

I know. It was patently obvious that the Fox News guest meant no harm.

It’s an expression has been around forever. It requires a liberal to conjure a way to find that particular chestnut “racist”.

Libs will bend, twist, fold, spindle, and mutilate reality to get it to fit their agenda.

Sadly, loss of contact with external reality is the main symptom of psychosis. Fits, doesn’t it?

Leftism is caused by envy, which is a side-effect of vanity. Unchecked envy matures into hate, then murder, war, and voting Democrat.

Every time you wrap a gift, a narwhal dies.

Exactly, Diana. You do as you please, and give others the freedom to do the same.

I don’t think that her idea of using the brown paper as a Christmas craft project is a bad one. It’s not a new one, either. In fact I think my sons and I made “treat bags” out of small brown paper bags that we decorated to give cookies as gifts, years ago. A bag or wrapping paper decorated by a child can be a charming part of a gift for grandparents, for example.

What IS objectionable is that she wants to DICTATE that other people do this. That is NOT OK.

And, FWIW, I don’t know that using brown paper bags has much, if any, positive impact on “the environment.” I’m a great “re-user” of things like shopping bags, shipping envelopes, boxes, etc but the “green” I’m concerned with is in my wallet.

Oh...I am so putting that on a t-shirt.

Exactly. And never forget that Socialists LOVE to spend our money well before they spend any of their own. (If ever, LOL!)
