DNC delusional blet-brains were truly on display last night in the debate.

American freedom is the apple of my eye,
complete with liberalism as the blet
that grows as free men become complacent.

Technically, because today is a holiday in Washington, D.C. (Emancipation Day), Tax Day is Monday, April 18.

Monday is actually tax day this year.
Not to be pedantic or anything. :-)

I will now think of this word when I look at Bernie....I get those spittle when he talks, boney weird looking finger pointing all the time, and old man ripe smell images in my head when I see him....

“the blet

So the American culture is beyond blet?

So the American culture is beyond blet? A lot of things in American culture are over the top - the things that offend us and those we celebrate. That includes our level of blet.

Barney Frank seemed to suffer from *blet
But first, he helped to mire us in debt
A classic left-lib
Very nasty, but glib
Socialism, he did aid and abet
*a state of softness or decay in certain fruits

To: TruthShallSetYouFree; WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
Great word. Onomatopoeic as to the reaction to the condition. Yech, blech, and yuk come to mind. I especially liked WhyisaTexasgirlinPa but take umbrage at the old man ripe smell reference, though totally apropos. More on the odor of "the blet of an old goat."
