When your enemy is destroying himself, get the hell out of the way.
In political circles, at least as far as the republicans are concerned, there are no enemies. Just disagreements of how fast to take us down the same road.
So when the dims are busy slitting throats, the republicans are busy baring their necks.

Davis is my representative. I guess I’ll have to call the old man and tell him his comments didn’t bother me.

Its TRUE though! That BOYS finger does NOT need to be on the button.
You can’t say the word monkey any more even in talking about one.
You can say boy even though in an older man’s eyes Obama is a boy.
You can use the word chocolate even if you are asking for a candy bar.
People are getting CRAZY. Life is too short for all this insanity.

Our side seems to have adopted castration as the prime political prerequisite.

Good grief - I know the term “boy” can be taken as offensive when referring to a black male, but in my lexicon it's also just a plain term for any other man (usually but not necessarily youthful) - such as an athlete, a regular joe, a celebrity or politican, etc. It is sad to see the lexicon shrink out of PC fears. The congressman should have said, “I was referring to his youthful immaturity, not his race. His overreaction is simply evidence of the immaturity I was referring to, and the type of intimidation that substitutes for discussion on the Left.”

Words used to have actual meanings. “Boy” means an immature male during the years from birth to adulthood, e.g., “separate the men from the boys.” As far as real-life experience goes, Obama is really and truly immature. And “snake oil salesman” - yes, he actually is one of those.

Don’t you mean “boy, that was quick?” Oh, drat! Now I’ve gone and said it. I’m sorry. Never mind.
