View From The Porch: "It's not ______

"It's not _______ when we do it!"

Is broadly painting group of people as "bigoted simpletons" not, well, a little simplistic and bigoted?

The lack of self-awareness occasionally displayed by the Smugocracy is simply stunning.

RevolverRob said...: I always think about these things like this, "If you want to call someone a bigoted simpleton, I'll show you a mirror."

This kind of crap is what usually gets the hair on my wookie-suit all up. Because it's things like this where people run off half-cocked, at the mouth, and then believe what they say...That stuff let's me know that, "Live and let live" will never come to pass in this world.

"

By the light of the Star Spangled flag of our nation.
Where each radiant star gleamed a meteor of war,
And the turbaned heads bowed to its terrible glare,
Now, mixed with the olive, the laurel shall wave,
And form a bright wreath for the brows of the brave."
