Some days this blogging crap is easy

January 11th, 2005 at 1:10 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

This one just fell into my lap. It’s from some dunce over at UTK who sent it to my other personality. It’s some chain action letter (no doubt sent around by a bunch of left-leaning nitwits) he sent me, obviously not knowing me very well. I won’t include his email address or the addresses of the other people he failed to blind-copy, out of common decency.

The short version is this: Join us in “Not one damn dime day” on Jan 20 to protest the inauguration…


This one is ripe for fisking and I’m feeling fisky.

Not One Damn Dime Day – Jan 20, 2005: Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq…

The left’s favorite religious leaders are indeed speaking out against the war. You know, the muslim clerics and “holy” men.

since our political leaders don’t have the moral courage to oppose it…

Politicians? Moral courage? Which leaders? You just had a year-long bitch-fest against the war from your so-called “leaders”.

since Bush is wasting 40 MILLION dollars on his inauguration party…while the soldiers have inadequate armor and too few of them to create or maintain peace in Iraq…

I kind of agree with the 40-million dollar inauguration party, but I’m sure presidents of all stripes have wasted an assload of money on such celebrations throughout history. Additionally, that whole “armor” thing has been widely debunked after that Chattanooga Times reporter used a national guardsman to push his agenda during a Rumsfeld Q&A session.

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.

So a bunch of pants-shitting leftists aren’t going to go out on the 20th and buy bottles of patchouli, copies of The Nation, The Advocate and the New York Times, feta cheese and cous cous and clothes made entirely of hemp. That should really make a dent in the GNP. Go for it!

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.

Uh, wrong on all counts, dumbass. The war on terror has been going on since the early-80s, they hit us hardest on 9/11/01, now it is our duty to annihilate them before they can do it again. I realize that’s too simplistic for such a nuanced political mindset, but give it a shot.

“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.

I love that. “Supporting the troops”. This same rotting subculture that celebrates the death of civilian contractors in Iraq wants us to believe they support the troops. That’s rich!

The politicians put the troops in harm’s way. Now 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 [There's that mythical figure again...PTH] 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 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 email this to as many people as possible.

I think more people will read this here than will actually receive it via email. It’s so idiotic that a good number of libs won’t forward it. But it gave me something to do while I ate this soggy turkey sandwich, so it did serve some purpose. Thanks anonymous socialist peacenik!

    Brilliant Strategy
    I can’t help but laugh at these people.

    DETROIT – David Livingstone says the idea behind the economic boycott he’s organizing is simple: If people don’t show up at work or buy things, companies lose money. As he sees it, that’s money the Bush ad…

    From what I understand the vast majority of the cost of the inaguration is privately funded. So what are you going to do then? Stop buying from privates?

    Dean, if that’s true then who gives a damn how much they spend? I honestly haven’t dug into that angle, so I’m not sure if the inauguration festivities are privately funded or not. Sounds like you’re better educated on the issue than I.

    Alot of liberals are complaining about the $40 million being spent on the inauguration, but you know who isn’t?

    The caterers. The Dee Jay. The flower people. The TV station ad salesman. Yeah, the inauguration is going to cost some money, but I bet there’s a lot of people saying under their breath “shut your stupid trap, Mark Cuban.”

    Another excellent point, Roboto. All that money goes somewhere – in most cases to pay all the “little” people who do the actual work for such swanky hoe-downs.

    Preston,
    You were misinformed. It was actually “not one dime-bag.” The sentiment being that if we could get these cretins to sober up, they might come to their senses.

    ‘Dime Day’ war protest a typical Dem move
    Brother, can you spare one damn dime?

    There’s a ridiculous movement out there of unknown origin to stick it to President Bush on his inauguration day, January 20th:

    It’s called “Not One Damn Dime Day,” and it means just that. Proponents urg…
