      As my daddy says, even a stopped clock is right twice a day or in Beckerwood's case, once, because he'd say one of those correct times are part of the Weather Underground manifesto.

      You don't say!!

      I thought everyone agreed with the Tea Parties. Everyone wants to keep the government out their Medicare.

      Everyone loves smaller government, especially when no one ever asks you what you want to cut, or, when they do ask you, they let you just spout nonsense.

      I love Tea Parties!

      The Tea Party are now the radical revolutionary? Then I suspect they will be equally as effective as the 60s radicals were, which is to say, not much.

      Interesting how much the 'average person' has in common with the vast majority of Americans, ain't it? Also interesting how these Faux Cons believe in majority rule, but only 'til they're in the minority. Suddenly they get very loud and obstructionist. Must be their patriotism showing.

      Depends on the average person's spelling ability, Glenda . . .

        I like the last one, the "lier in chief" sign, for the added touch of penciling in the guidelines. You know, to make sure the sign was absolutely perfect..

        And this is a rare instance of me agreeing with Glenda. I'm pretty sure it's more than obvious to average and above-average Americans that the Teabaggers are mostly made up of well-below-average Americans.

        Butt kepe shuting four the stars, Prowed Paytriuts !

      What would we do without this kind of brilliant analysis?

      That is not the way it was, Glenn. What you are saying is 100% lies.

      I was there. I remember.

      I bet a lot of us do.

      I feel that it is a bit sexist to denigrate Glenn Beck by calling him Glenda. Am I not the only one who sees the complete irony in liberals using sexism to insult conservatives?

        I agree that using jokes on one's name or physical appearance is inappropriate.

        However. Mr. Beck is no conservative by any stretch of the imagination.

        I'm a conservative . . . . I just call him an uneducated, dishonest, mentally unstable, self-admitted con-man/radio DJ. Oh, and Beck's not a conservative. NOTHING this man says has anything to do with conservatism. He's just a lying con-man working a con and making out like a bandit off of the idiots (his term for his followers) who believe his schtick.

        I call Beck "Glenda" sometimes, but it's more about his looniness, and a reference another poster once made to the Ed Wood movie " Glen or Glenda".
