Comments on: July 4 Thoughts http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2008/07/03/july-4-thoughts/ This blog was filmed before a live studio audience Sun, 13 May 2012 12:37:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Lemur King http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2008/07/03/july-4-thoughts/comment-page-1/#comment-345890 Lemur King Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:59:09 +0000 http://sixmeatbuffet.com/?p=4305#comment-345890 Lemurs are intensely patriotic creatures, no matter how twitchy we may be. I enjoy seeing this sort of thing because the world seems to love focusing on the small negatives rather than the huge HUGE body of GOOD things we do in the world. It is unfair and largely unappreciated. Lemurs are not species-ist. Some of my best friends are cats. As well, a lot of my friends are meat. :) While it might be construed as pimping/hijacking, I posted an excellent defense (by Arthur Herman) of the Iraq invasion based on actual factual history last night. Some of it surprised me. It is easy to let historical revisionists change the facts as they have gradually since 2003 (and before, actually) but this kind of causes the whole complex mess to gel.

Somehow I don't think M. Obama is going to be proud unless her husband gets his name on the door. Being a part of the country just ain't enough. g Thanks Cranky – top-notch post.

Obama Sat, 05 Jul 2008 04:36:38 +0000 http://sixmeatbuffet.com/?p=4305#comment-339823 Bah...none of that is worthy of pride. Naturally, you didn't even mention that for the first time a black man is in a position to win the presidency, despite overcoming overt racism such as is commonly found on this site...despite the financial constraints of student loans and a $1.2 Million mortgage imposed on him by white society...despite the grind of having to campaign in 57 states instead of the dozens fewer his <strike>cracker</strike> white privileged opponent has had to. Now that is something I can be proud of... Bah…none of that is worthy of pride.

Touching, in an I-don't-have-to-file-a-restraining-order kind of way. They should let you loose on the other side of the page from that guy at the Philly Inquirer, Cranky.
