I was surfing the web this afternoon, doing my part to fill Hillary's war chest and bring back our beloved hurricanes, when I stumbled across a shocking video that made me so angry I almost shut off my computer and put my clothes back on in protest.
It seems that a Reno TV news crew recently* discovered a Mexican flag being flown above Old Glory outside a local drinking establishment.
Granted, it may have been an innocent mistake. The bar's Hispanic owner is new to this country and perhaps had no idea his display would offend so many people and spark such national outrage. I am sure that if someone had simply taken the time to explain to him that the U.S. flag is not only a symbol of racism and genocide, but a blatant show of support for Bush's Illegal and Immoral War in Iraq, he would have gladly taken it down. But before anyone had a chance, a Vietnam-era veteran and true patriot, Jim Broussard, marched past the cameras and, in a courageous show of civil disobedience, cut down the blood-spangled banner and dared anyone to try and take it back.
Fatty Pillpopper Limbaugh will probably call Broussard a "phony soldier" for daring to show such patriotic dissent, but personally I haven't been this proud of someone who wore the uniform since John Kerry wiped his ass with the flag back in '71. Broussard obviously isn't one of those jingoist morons who joined the military because he couldn't get into college and now obediently waves the flag around because he's been brainwashed to love America. No, he's one of US, and I'm glad to see that the ACLU is jumping to his defense. This is a man who, despite his military background, has nothing but disdain for the emblem of U.S. imperialism many died pointlessly for, and respect for those brave undocumented workers who pick our fruit and clean our toilets everyday for our freedoms. Goddess bless him.
*alright, so I've been a little out of the loop, okay?
Larry,
you should re-read your second paragraph...

Uhhh...What do you believe makes it classic? Usually satire has at least some element of truth to it. That's what makes it satire. This isn't satire all. This is just taking the usual babble which has little to do with reality and piecing it together to make another nice little story. I think the rights direct "reporting" sounds pretty much the same, though the opposite.
"And you even threw in the 'KB gambit' ... doing a post and hoping people don't actually research it .."
That was the only good part because it's accurate. I DO post, not necessarily hoping, but rather assuming based on a LONG history of evidence, patterns, etc...that they, meaning YOU, will not respond. When this happens it helps to further demonstrate the weakness of your positions, but then is it really necessary for me to have to mention this? I'm really surprised I haven't been banned yet. I MUST give credit the the blog owners for being more open-minded that most of their followers.

Ha!
Take that George “Jingo Jet Jockey” Bush!
And, eat the worm!
Sweet Hillary is coming!
Free ATM cards, Tijuana Thai sticks and Mexifornia Mud.
Remember the Alamo!
And, I am not talking about the Car Rental Agency or the Mexican Phone Company, Taco Bell.

Actually I am fairly open minded. I don't care what color someone is, who they love or whatnot .. but unbalanced stupidity, or willful stupidity isn't something I will stand for .. which is why I don't bother debating you most of the time

That's your personal opinion. Other people might think otherwise. That's what blogging is all about. You want to show the world what true satire is according to you - then start your own satirical blog and write whatever you like.

Why would that happen (apart from banning for lack of civility)? Democracy is discussion, after all. People are allowed to have differing opinions and it's not required to be a professor emeritus of political science to form or have one, although a degree of common knowledge is necessary. It is also obvious that either side of political spectrum has its own "intellectuals", who have learned much or written a load of books in their lives, but still have differing opinions. People can also change them in the course of years, like David Horowitz did. People also inject emotions into their opinion, and this is also a very important factor, because emotions are often circumstantial and not objective.
kb said:

These are called readers/commentators, although like-minded (that's natural for any blog on the web, including leftist ones). The owner of this blog is not a leader of any kind to have any "followers". He's just posting some entertaining stuff for the world to read, and commentators add to it their own twist. If you don't like it, that's your right. Trying to "disprove" political satire (or attempt at satire, as you'd put it) doesn't sound quite reasonable to me. Trying to change people's opinion or worldview by insulting them after every two words is also not that smart.

Goddess and Gaia have to fight for Chomstein's devotion. Perhaps in a pit filled with mud, or Jello?

Truly Enlyghtened Lyberals, I mean, Progressyves, refer to the AmeriKKKan Flag as "Old Gory" because of Bu$Hitler's Illegal, Immoral & Fattening War For Oil & Sunshine.

I heard about that. Good luck on trying to collect unless ol' Phred has some fire insurance of his own. His war chest may be down what with all those protests...

I stumbled onto this site the other day in a bonged out stupor and have since read it all (comments too) and I gotta say I love this place!
Hope you all don't mind if I stick around and maybe had my 2 cents worth now and then.
Laids.

I once tore up my stoopid Marine Corp brother's flag but alas, two things happened instead:
1. I couldn't tear it because it was made in America and those idiots made the fabric too strong.
2. My brother beat the crap out of me
. I called the police to file an assault charge but had to recant my statements because my evil Marine Corp brother threatened to show the coppers my medical marijuana garden in my Section 8 Housing.

come around any time you want, Mr. Godless Commie. There's nothing we progressyves enjoy more than the correct perspective of a Godless Commie. Socialism is but a progressyve stepping stone on the road to truly evolved communist enlyghtenment. You will be our guiding (red) light to the workers paradyse!

"2. My brother beat the crap out of me"
Holy Shi'ite, Arbs! You look a tad-bit Arab in that photo. In fact, I'm wondering if your name isn't actually Arabiter.
No wonder your brother went Semper Fi on your ass. I hope he disarmed the vest bomb you were wearing after the ass-kicking.

I second the motion, Methinks. Nothing spells PROGRESSIVE like a Godless Commie.
Godless Commie, just tell us you're gayer than all hell and you will be instantly elevated to Senior Progressyve Status at this site.

Would a diety fight, e.g., Goddess versus Gaia, be a lot like a catfight, i.e. HOT?!?! Perhaps some baby oil or something. I'm just sayin'...
Have a nice day!

Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov
Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz!

Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot!
Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya
Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!
And now I must put bong down and pull pants up. Ahem, did say I 2 cents? Well, now I have spent entire weeks allowance. Farewell for now comrades.

Godless Commie,
You're welcome here as long as you tow the party line. We welcome anyone and everyone with open arms, but step out of line and we'll assasinate your character, spread false stories about you, and otherwise ruin your reputation.
We're a very tolerant bunch don't ya know. Just read our bi-laws:
1. If Bush cures cancer, having cancer was somehow a good thing that was oppressed in our bodies and had to live in "The other America."
2. A womyn having a "choice" means that she can whack any kid even remotely attached to her bosom.
3. Deciding to have a "baby" is definitely the wrong "choice" and you will be shunned as a breeder.
4. No matter how successful the Iraq "war for oil" is going, it can never be won. Not if we and Senator Reid have anything to do with it.
5. 9/11 was an inside job. You can only debate if it was Bush and/or the Jooooooooooos who caused it.
6. Global warming is more dangerous than cancer, heart disease, AIDS, famine and war combined. (In fact, global warming has probably caused the former)
7. Terrorism is a "bumper sticker." Somehow, those 3000 "little Eichmans" on 9/11 had it coming to them because of how evil our country is (Hollywood is excluded of course).
8. Jimmy Carter was the single greatest President this country has ever known. 'nuff said.
9. Cindy Sheehan is braver than her misguided son Casey. All he had to do was die for his country fighting in a war. Cindy actually went on a hunger strike!
10. Bush stole the election in 2000. Even though the media hand counted those chads and proved that he won fair and square, that fact does not change our belief that the wise and powerful Al Goracle was robbed.
11. Peace loving democracy Israel: Bad! Peace loving rocket firing at Israel, suicide bomber killing Jooos hating Palestinians: Good.
12. Bush is Hitler. No rational explanation needed.
13. No matter how many people they kill, maim, behead, torture, etc. Islam is a peaceful religion. Do NOT piss Muslims off by drawing a cartoon of their boy Moe however!!!
14. Judeo-Christians are the real terrorists. Abu Gharib proved that! End of story!
15. Remember when that Dr Martin Luther Kings guy said we shouldn't "be judged by the color of our skin, but the content of our character"? Scrap that. People of "color" are entitled to the good jobs regardless of their ability 'cause whitey has been keeping them down.
Any questions my friend?
