Don't Troll Me Bro!: NFA: Remember back in the days of Reagan when Republican talk radio hosts where outraged at civilized criticism of a sitting president? They claimed it was anti-American and typical of the "Left".

Reagan? Hell, I remember being called a traitor, being told to leave the country, being told that it was people like me that threaten the greatness of Murika, and all kinds of other awful things for questioning decisions made by The Bush Administration, and questioning the motives of Dick Cheney. I'd say it was right up until Jan 2009 that anything less than lockstep allegiance to the POTUS was tantamount to treason. Not sure what happened that month, but something completely changed their minds about criticism of the POTUS.

I believe there was a blackout.

To honor this day,

- I will spell "honor" without the "u" you deem superfluous.
- I won't mention any thing that Canada do better than the US
- I will drink a watery American beer (perhaps a dozen) in your honor this evening

Turn off the Tragically Hip and crank some Springsteen while your at it.

I hate to fit the cliche but The Hip are actually my favorite band. I don't like Rush so there's that (many Canadians don't). Not a Springsteen fan but I understand why he is worshiped. How about I crank up the Black Keys or Jack White.

Springsteen doesn't kiss American ass either, he's actually rather critical of this country in his songs, so I don't understand why someone would just "crank up the Springsteen."

They probably don't read the words to those "f*ck yeah" songs, I'm guessing.

Meanniss: thamike: skullkrusher: I wasn't. Just strikes me as funny to condemn the defense of pretty much the #1 example of protected political speech - beating up on effigies.

Interesting. It strikes me as the #1 most futile and obnoxious example of protected political speech. It's like telling a cop to go f*ck himself, but without the beatings and criminal charges.

Yeah I tried that once 25 years ago. Still can't eat baloney to this day.

hehe last time I had baloney was in a Worcester, MA holding cell about 12 years ago. Dry baloney on white. Only time an adult should eat that sammich I think

skullkrusher: whidbey: skullkrusher: whidbey: I wonder what they'd say if I told them that there are Americans like me who don't give a flying f*ck about the 4th of July period, with or without Obama.

I wonder what you'd say if you found out that no one gives a flying fark about what you give a flying fark about

Skullkrusher you care about everything i say, enough to put your foot in mouth many many times while replying to my comments. :)

awww, I made it off of whidbey's ignore list!

Yeah well don't make a career out of it.

elchip: Cannot believe what I'm reading from you "Shocked and Dumbfounded" liberals! When late night comics rant and rave about conservatives you laugh, huh? Let's stop this Victim's Syndrome...I am a grandparent of a bi-racial beautiful child...I am from Greenwood...my kids go to school in Greenwood... if the clowns were making jokes about President Bush's literacy issues and lack of speaking skilz would this have made National News? STOP IT WITH THE RACE CARD ALREADY! I absolutely cannot for a minute believe this made the news...stop "commenting" and go enjoy your day! If you happen to be an Obama supporter so be it...we live in more of a conservative area...typically Republican driven...when comedians make fun of us and our belief system, our right to bear arms, our "redneck" behaviors in general...we laugh WITH THEM! Please stop the excuses! The fact that some of us will vote conservative is NOT because of O's skin color...it is because we are seeking HOPE AND CHANGE that we didnt find this time around!

I can get health insurance even if I lose my job that I couldn't get before due to pre-existing conditions. My dad got full time job with benefits for a Big 3 contractor after losing his job with a supplier due to the recession Obama inherited (he's educated white collar). My undocumented friend brought here as a child (from the freaking Ukraine) who had stellar grades, works his ass off, etc., can breathe for a few years and continue to be a benefit to the only country he's ever known. My ex who got PTSD (after signing up to fight the 9/11 terrorists and to get money saved for school instead got called again to Iraq the weekbefore finals) can finally get treatment.

I would like more done but there has been a f--k of a lot of change and more hope for myself and those I love thankyouverymuch.

Yeah, if baloney and milk from a paper carton hadn't been off the list since 7th grade, they certainly are by now.

Feel free to get Founders, Bells, Great Lakes Brewing, etc...

I drank Labatt on the first but mainly cause it's cheap. And I got plenty drunk on a 8% Michigan brew last Friday, eh.

Canadian and American beers are no longer that different. I travel to Belgium several times a year for work. I now find most Canadian and American beers to be basically flavorless now but like Canada, the US seems to have more and more microbreweries trying new things so I am hopeful. I will keep an eye open for the brands you mentioned.

Well, this is just about the worst thing ever.

Zombie Butler: I wonder, if I had laid down an American flag (to keep my feet from getting cow and horse shiat all over my boots) and walked over to the effigy to tap it lightly on the head with a bat that said , "you should've kept the public option" what would these fine participants in free speech would've said. It's always free speech when you agree.

/free speech is free speech

/I doubt I would made it to the parking lot.

they'd probably have no idea what you're talking about. Then they'd kill you for stepping on the flag

That's what real patriotism is actually about. No place is perfect; criticizing our own country when we fail to live up to our own ideals, and trying to get us to correct our errors is far more patriotic than just being a bunch of cheerleaders yelling "Go Team" all the time.

A lot of people confuse patriotism with jingoism, but they really aren't the same thing. People like Springsteen (and Woody Guthrie) are far more patriotic than Lee Greenwood or any of the "America: Fark Yeah" types will ever be.

Well it is apparent that both show a love of this country throughout their canon despite the harsh words.

Still, I'm not going to put on "Nebraska" and salute the flag. Or for that matter "Independence Day."

Tampa Fla. 3 meals a day for three days. For breakfast it was on dry toast.

big fat Puerto Rican dude tried to get me to hold a joint he was carrying in the drunk tank cuz they wouldn't search a white dude.
Umm... how about no, cellie

Good stuff happening for sure. My favorite beer of all time is an American microbrew (Founders) made with Canadian maple syrup (Canadian Breakfast Stout).

You said 'hockey' twice.

erveek: skullkrusher: terriblist: Gotta love all the people in the comments defending this crap. A whole lotta Bbbbut Bush Effigy!

stupid Americans defending a textbook example of political speech on the 4th of July. What nerve!

Skullkrusher rushes to the defense of people whose rights aren't actually being violated. Thank heavens that we have skullkrusher to defend people with whom he might even disagree against all threats, imagined or fabricated.

what if the one imagining others imagining threats is you? Then what do we do? Oh, I know, chalk it up as another example of you being a dishonest nitwit. Yeah, that suits

Meh, the only thing I'm outraged by is the really poor quality of the effigy. When's the last time you saw Obama in plaid and denim coveralls? I mean, if the announcer hadn't said "Obama" that could have just been any random welfare leach.

js34603: So should I be more or less outraged than the bush head in Game of Thrones?

/I'm thinking more is the Fark correct answer
//pointless outrage never in short supply

was anyone actually outraged by that?

sdd2000: I seem to recall death threats to three young ladies just for one of them saying- "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." We collectively owe her an apology if effigy burning is acceptable.

you send Death Threats to the Dixie Chicks? Damn, that's farked up. You certainly should apologize.

you are a puppet: Nabb1: Well, this is just about the worst thing ever.

Is it worse than when Michelle Obama hugged the Queen?

I don't believe in a monarchy, so Michelle could have hit her with a folding chair WWF style for all I care. Of course, that's kind of mean to do to an old lady no matter who she is.

no one noticed how you created an argument out of thin air and talked about imagined threats being defensed. Your secret is safe with me.
