Should Conservatives Support Dastardliness? Why Booing Hillary Is Terribly Terribly Impolite

I am a recent graduate of Claremont McKenna College in Claremont (not that low class Montclare) where I studied the Classics and PPEE (Pomposity, Punditry, Excess, and Egocentricity). Currently I am traipsing around Europe from where I am condescending to post my remarks to you.

This year I am a Thomas J. Watson Fellow (and just to rub it in that is why my screen name is watsonfellow) studying Catholic (in the original Latin) and Islamic (in the originial squiggly lines) culture in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East (and if you're not impressed yet there's more).

I am a traditionalist Catholic who wakes up every morning to an alarm clock doing Gregorian Chants in the original Latin. I believe that scratching your crotch during Interleague Baseball games should be abolished and that Evelyn Waugh is the greatest snob of the century (I read all the Cliff Notes about him and saw the video of "The Loved One" 537 times.) I also support the idea that redundancy can be quite catchy as well as contagious.

First of all to prevent all the flamings, I should say that I am better than you because I am a traditional conservative, not one of you low-class populist conservatives. That being said, I thought it the height of rudeness for these firemen and policemen to boo and yell at the Senator this weekend. It lacked dignity and class. They should have kept their low-class populist mouths shut and have allowed the Senator to continue to believe that everybody loved her.

I wonder what Burke et al (I learned to quote Burke and et al in my PPEE classes to impress you ignorant populists) would have said about this conservative embrace of very questionable manners. Even my butler found this to be quite quite rude. In fact I'll never forget how he tut-tutted over it for a full 5 minutes.

The policemen and firemen should have just done nothing when she appeared on stage. Remember, we as traditional conservatives must not ever ever show our emotions in public. Much better for the Senator to just roll over the peons. Remember, the important thing is not to express your true opinions but to act in a dignified way.

Thank you and did I tell you that I speak fluent Latin, drink port wine, and did a lot of PPEE PPEE in college after drinking too much of that port wine (the labels were in Latin)?

Dastardly is the same as cowardly. You just have to keep it in its proper context, because HilDaBeast was the only dastardly one.

I remember seeing thim on TV after the big event and they were all covered with dust and grime, and just didn't seem to have proper regard for deportmemnt at all.

How terribly rude of those ruffians for not being spotlessly clean while digging through the rubble. Their deportment in this area reflects poorly on them and perhaps, upon reflection, explains why they booed the good Senator. And remember, ruffians may be seen (unfortunately) but they MUST NOT be heard.

You only need to read this thread to understand why Randy Newman, Lyle Lovett and Kinky Friedman just about gave up. (Answer: short people, who ain't got no reason to live!)

Thanks. That was hilarious. Are you Dave Barry? You should be.

[colorado tanker]

LOL! All I can do is repeat Rick's advice to Major Strasser, "there are some parts of New York I'd advise you not to invade" - or try to teach manners!

[glock rocks]

I didn't see it, but I heard a sound clip of it

well here, enjoy... hillary boo video...

[PJ-Comix]

Thanks. That was hilarious. Are you Dave Barry?

No, I'm better. BTW, I have been trying for a few years to get him into a humor writing contest with YOURS TRULY.

You should be.

Thanx.....for the insult. And for that I shall order my servant to thoroughly thrash you.

Where are all the "be nice to Hitlery" posts coming from? I think that FR is under attack from the left. I consider Bubba and Hitlery as intorerable scum well deserving of more than a little boooing. Rightfully, they ought to be sitting in jail cells. What is rude is having to be subjected to seeing them constantly out seeking public attention in their obsessive "it's all about us" quest for power. Someone needs to tell them to sit down and shut up while true Americans lead the country out of the mess that they created.

Please Sir, attacks on my college, attacks on my person, all this I can deal with. But to suppose that someone like me would engage in reading Maya Angelou and her ilk is going too far.....

For she will never enter the sacred canon of Western thought.

[PJ-Comix]

Good one, PJ. You caught his essence perfectly.

Actually more perfectly than you would be expect. Take a look at my post in Reply #58. It sounds like a good parody, right? WRONG. It is actually a word-for-word direct quote from the ORIGINAL watsonfellow that he sent me in a FreepMail just a little while ago.

Overconsumption of cheese blamed.

Cheese ?? I like cheese...but only very expensive brie,
or perhaps a lovely imported goat cheese with roast garlic cloves...
mmmmm
:o

[PJ-Comix]

How do you like my "parody" of you in Reply #58?

[woofie]

How do you feel about spontanious body function noise?

[JJ59]

fugs not frugs

[Twodees]

Given his general tone of self-adulation in the earlier thread I can easily believe it. What a devoutly self impressed little twit that guy is.

[TightSqueeze]

remember when the frugs and zappa had a freak-out contest?

The Frugs did they really exist, or was it just some bad double barrel? I do remember their unhit "It fells like homemade sh!t" Could it be that you and I are the only ones who know about them?

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

ROTFLMAO!

But, then, I read the post that you are making fun of- and you did a GREAT JOB!

I'm sometimes surprised by the apparent inability of some (not all!) Freepers to recognize satire, sarcasm, and the other fine arts when they encounter them here. (I once did a running joke about murdering drug addicts by mixing Anthrax with heroin and cocaine- and I think that only ONE of at least 70 respondents recognized it as satirical).

There are some pretty damn humorless folks here!

[Twodees]

[For she will never enter the sacred canon of Western thought.]

Yes, quite. Just as a bounder can never advance to being a cad.

[RightOnline]

I..............I.........feel.......................I feel so.......so chastened. Head hanging in shame.............indulging in self-flagellation.........again........and again.........and again..........and again............and, oh YES, AGAIN!.......and AGAIN!.........and.........................

[ninenot]

Obviously you are masquerading. You are really an Episcopalian. Conservative RC's who understand Right Order are populists (Viz: PJBuchanan.) Episcopalians are NOT populists, they are royalists, such as you. You have been unmasked, knave!!! Begone!!
