WAITING TO BE BORN

You met Jon before in the form of a short poem in this post. I was so impressed, I encouraged him to get a blog to share his talent with the world.

Well, it's not quite ready yet, but he pointed me to a taste of what you're in for when he does fire up his blog, and he gave me permission to post it.

Background: Over at thenewterror.com, there's a discussion forum. Someone posted a nice story about how some Marines coming home from the Iraq War boarded a plane to cheers, applause, hugs and kisses. A pleasant piece making a point of how Americans should be proud of their armed forces and be grateful for their sacrifices.

Then the troll showed up and posted this:

************

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT: BARF!
IT NEVER SEIZES TO AMAZE ME HOW FULL OF IT AMERICANS CAN BE, SORRY, FORGIVE ME, I MEAN NO DISRESPECT FOR THE ARMED FORCES OR THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT TRIED THERE VERY BEST ON AND SINCE 9-11, BUT THE HYPOCRIT ACT OF THE US BEING THE SUPERFUNKYMASTERS OF THE WORLD MAKES ME LOOSE BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER. LIKE THE US IS PERFECT AND EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE SHAPPED IN THEIR IMAGE, CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT ELLECTION TO SEE WHAT JOKER WILL RUN THE LOONYFARM NEXT.

JUST AN UNASKED AND MOST LIKELY UNWANTED OPINION, BUT THE HIGHER UP THE HORSE YOU ARE, THE HARDER YOU FALL.

AGAIN, WITH NO DISRESPECT,
EZ

****************

 

This worthless worm-meat was begging for a clue-bat enema. Jon obliged him with one of the best anti-idiotarian skull-smashings I've seen outside of Misha's Imperial Palace:

 

**************

I will take no disrepect regarding what you've written here, if you will not feel disrespected regarding what I write here. If, somewhere during your reading of this, you are disrespected, then should consider me disrespected

First, your entire post is intended to disrespect. As any NOOBIE knows, using all CAPITAL LETTERS is the same as YELLING at the person reading. That is considered by many to be rude and offensive. But that doesn't disrespect me.

Second, it is ironic that the very medium you use to convey your message WAS INVENTED by the people you speak of. The ability for you to voice your opinion as you do WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE if it were not for the hard work of the people you deride. And if it was run by "your people", you wouldn't even be able to speak your opinions. But that doesn't disrespect me.


And let's get something straight - when you say "AMERICANS" - you mean ME buddy. I'm an AMERICAN. The government of this land is not some elite cartel of snobs I've never elected. This country is governed by people I put there. They do MY BIDDING. So if you have a problem with how AMERICA does something - you have a problem with ME - personally - and with ALL AMERICANS.


Now. Regarding us being the "SUPERFUNKYMASTERS OF THE WORLD" - yeah we are - we earned it! We didn't require 3 month vacations, 30 hour work weeks, and extreme protectionist labor laws. Historically, the residents of this country are the ones who wanted to become the SUPERFUNKYMASTERS OF THE WORLD - and we DID. My ancestors LEFT the little stink-hole you wallow in because IT SUCKED for them. They busted their asses to make a better life for them and for me. And that's what I'M doing. What are you doing? Sitting on your under-worked, under-paid, under-achieving ass - swallowing every lying, distorted, slanted report Reuters chooses to feed you. Tell you what, why don't you start your day here: www.instapundit.com, then follow ANY link you want from there. When you've read all you want, THEN go read your local news and see if what you are being fed is what's REAL, or is contrived. WAKE UP! Your life is closer to George Orwell's 1984 than mine. And that's double plus bad.

A final point on AMERICA being the SUPERFUNKYMASTERS OF THE WORLD; We are the #1 economic country in the world. No doubt about it. A comparison of the economic output of the G8 - which is the top 8 economic producing countries OF THE WORLD - rates the US as #1. Even more than that, the US produces more economically than the other 7 countries combined. Please see the above paragraph for how we got that way. Capitalism is what made this happen. Not Communism. Not Socialism. Not Left-Wing Liberals. Not Hippies. Hard Work. Equal Opportunity - not Equal Results.


No, the US is not perfect. As it is made up of humans, it cannot be perfect. But we are not working toward perfection - just better. Better lives, better health, better water, better air, better cars, better boobs, better orgasms, better computers, a better society - a better future. We compete - we improve - we WORK. Should everything happen in the US' image? Hell YES! WHY NOT? Look what we did after Sputnik! Bring the next competitor on! We're getting bored over here.


Regaring a 'JOKER' running the 'LOONYFARM'. Boy - those are fightin' words. Let me give you a little lesson in US Governing here. WE choose who represents us. We choose Senators, and Congresspeople, and a President - and they agree on Judges. When you call the leader of this nation - of these people - a 'JOKER' - you imply that the people are jokers. When you call this country a 'LOONYFARM' - you infer that all the people are loony. How - please explain - is this NOT SUPPOSED TO DISREPECT ME? Which part of "Hey, you are crazy, and they guy who speaks for you is an idiot!" is NOT SUPPOSED TO DISREPECT ME? But I'm not disrepected.

And, finally, the implied "doom prognostication" of "... HIGHER YOU ARE, THE HARDER YOU FALL ...". Oh ppplease. Spare me. But, rather than look at me, and my country - let's look at you. What if this "dream" of yours came true? What if the US did fall? Well, I presume you mean economically, because there is no other way for us to fall, really. So, given that, how would this effect you? Well, for starters, the Internet would be a lot smaller. Moore's Law would probably be proven false, which means your next computer - oops, you wouldn't have a next computer. You'd probably be a bit hungrier, because as the #1 exporter of food in the world, other countries would no doubt be a little short on the 'generosity' area. You'd probably be a little colder and darker too, as most of the oil production and refining is done by US technology and personell. What - you don't think the "Rich Arabs" pump their own oil, do you? Oh ppplease. They consider it beneath them to pump their own gas. Also, there is a concept in Supply Management called Logistics. Do you think that all of the goods traveling around the world would get to where they need to be - when they are needed - before they spoil - without US Satellites and technology? Do you think that latest computer game would make it to your local store (from the US company that wrote it) without DHL dropping it on time? Oh ppplease. So - be careful what you wish for Junior. You probably won't like what you get.


Personally, I have no problem with you sharing your opinion. However, I'd appreciate it if it didn't come out of your ass.

Oh - and I'm not disrepected - unless you are.

I get tingly all over reading this.

Give Jon some applause and encouragement in the comments, please.

ABOUT THE LINK MADAM

 

Susie exposes all her darkest secrets in this post.

 

Ok, not so dark, but it's still good reading.

 

And I can't help noticing that in a post that's supposed to be all about her, she spends half of the time talking about the other people in her life. Which is just the kind of person Susie is: thoughtful, kind, sweet and considerate.

 

She also called me the second funniest blogger she knows. I can't stop blushing.

 

And to think the first thing I did when I met her was make fun of how pink her site was. Aw, Susie, I'm sorry. You can pink for me anytime.

 

Wait... did that sound dirty? Nevermind.

So, George, how many times do you have to punch a socialist to keep him from turning into a commie?

JOEY'S GOT IT GOIN' ON

Heh. I've just been over to Single White Male. Joey did some photoshopping on Michael Moore. Sweet!

And he also took a bunch of old lawyer jokes and substituted the word liberal. For some odd reason, I find they work even better this way.

(Blogspot just blogspotted on me, so I can't give a useless permalink to that one. Just scroll north of Moore's pic)
