Recently I received an e-mail from this real liberal girl I know with the subject line of “Inauguration Day.” I figured it would just be some liberal pissing and moaning, but it turned out to be something much more stupid. Here’s how it went:
Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not One Damn Dime Day" in America.
On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose what is happening in our name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms of consumer spending.
During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours.
On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target...
Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please don't buy
any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter).
For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy down.
The object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war in Iraq is
immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for starting it and that it
is their responsibility to stop it.
"
Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for the
people of the United States of America, not for the international corporations
and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations and funnel cash into
American politics.
"
Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The politicians
put the troops in harm's way.
Now over 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis have
died. The politicians owe our troops a plan - a way to come home.
There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No petitions to sign. No left
or right wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you
take action by doing nothing. You open your mouth by keeping your wallet
closed.
For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our religious
leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility to end the war in
Iraq and give America back to the people.
Please share this e-mail with as many people as possible.
Now when I read this, I shit myself. What the hell kind of propaganda this shit? 100,000 Iraqi’s have died? And Michael Moore didn’t make a movie about it? No way. I had to find out where this girl got her information. I responded:
Where did you get that stat that 100,000 Iraqis have died?
To which she responded:
This e-mail got sent to me by a friend of mine. I didn't do the research for it. I don't really know if the stats are correct. I just like the idea of not spending anything as a form of protest. Sorry I don't have more information.
Great, I hope you feel good. You’re dumbing up more people. Just what we need in America, more dumbasses. Good job Ms. Liberal. Your liberal bullshit might work on someone else but I’m smarter than most people, so I don’t buy it for one second. Knowing this chick thinks that Bush voters are some of the dumbest people on the planet, I attempted to be funny and responded with this:
Not saying I support the war in Iraq, but not having acute sources or facts or figures or sources for those facts or figures just makes you look like a Bush voter.
(I don’t support Iraq but I’ll make a separate page on that later.) She was offended (if she can’t take a joke, fuck her). She responded like this:
hmmmm. If I didn't know better I'd say u were calling me a Bush voter. 1. I missed voting in the election by three weeks. 2. I do not support Bush in any way, I do not appreciate liars or manipulators. 3. I have heard about this "not a dime" day from other sources besides e-mail (mainly conversations with very politically conscience older family members of a dear friend of mine. 4. I did not read over the e-mail before sending it on because I thought the important part was spreading the word about this "economical protest". 5. Yes the facts could be screwed up and if they are it is not very truthful to spread them around but 6. I find I dislike Bush and the war enough to hope that if they are false they will at least serve the purpose of getting more people to stand up for the rights that Bush is suppressing. 7. I could easily believe that those stats are accurate.
I’m going to break this letter down because its just too stupid to make fun of all at once.
“If I didn’t know better I’d say u were calling
me a Bush voter.”
Very good, she picked up on the joke. Second, there’s one thing I hate, “u” I
mean seriously all it takes it two fucking letters to make you sound much smarter.
“1. I missed voting in the election by three weeks.”
Oh boo hoo hoo. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.
“2. I do not support Bush in any way, I do not appreciate liars
or manipulators.”
Liars or manipulators? Oh you must mean when your getting lied to because in
the first e-mail you stated, “100,000 Iraqi’s have died,” and “the
politicians put the troops in harms way.” Actually, President Bush
put the troops in harms way. Your statement should be singular because Iraq
is an executive decision and the Congress had no role in deciding to send
our troops to Iraq. And, “100,000 Iraqi’s have died?” That
one is a flat out lie. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to find anything
that supports this. It’s all just a bunch of liberal bullshit.
3. I have heard about this "not a dime" day from other sources
besides e-mail (mainly conversations with very politically conscience older
family
members of a dear friend of mine.
Well, I’d say it looks like you forgot your end parenthesis. When I first
heard about this I was confused; liberals are constantly bitching about how
bad the economy is yet they advocate, “For 24 hours, please do what you
can to shut the retail economy down.” Good move hypocrites. Just go play
in traffic now. I got a plan that will make this “boycott” bullshit
irrelevant: for every dollar you don’t spend, I’m going to spend
three. How ‘bout them apples liberal ass monkeys?
4. I did not read over the e-mail before sending it on because I thought
the important part was spreading the word about this "economical protest".
Wait you mean to tell me, you just accepted this bullshit without reading over
what you were sending? Sounds like you’re not very politically conscience
or the “politically conscience older family members” are just feeding
you liberal bullshit. Go educate yourself and form you own opinions instead
of being spoon fed this crap.
5. Yes the facts could be screwed up and if they are it is not very truthful
to spread them around but
Oh, I’m sorry. I seem to remember you complaining about “liars
or manipulators.” Shut the fuck up, worthless piece of shit liberal hypocrite.
6. I find I dislike Bush and the war enough to hope that if they are false
they will at least serve the purpose of getting more people to stand up for
the rights that Bush is suppressing.
Bush is suppressing our rights? Oh, you must be referring to the Patriot Act.
Guess what? That thing is being broken down and declared unconstitutional left
and right. Did I mention it was an act of Congress that the president signed?
That means that at least 51 U.S. Congressmen and 218 U.S. Representatives are
also “suppressing” our rights. Get out!
7. I could easily believe that those stats are accurate.
And that’s why you’re a liberal dumb ass.
Notice how in the original e-mail this “protest” is referred to as “Not One Damn Dime Day.” Then notice how there isn’t any other profanity in the entire e-mail. Is this because they think that by only referring to their retarded protest as “damn” because they think they’re going to go to hell for having it or because they’re just too much of a bunch of pansies to use any other vulgar language? ‘nough said. I’m sick of these liberals pissing their bullshit propaganda in my ear.
21, 756 Liberals hate me for making this page.
