Any connoisseur of quintessential American comedic culture has seen the film Animal House and is intimately familiar with the exploits of Delta Tau Chi House at Faber College. As the, "worst house on campus," the fraternity is an assortment of slackers, misfits and childish sorts more interested in debauchery and partying than learning. Because of this the Deltas run afoul of the College administration time and again and are expelled.
This leads up to a climatic, impassioned but ultimately ignorant speech by John "Bluto" Blutarsky in which he tries to rally the Deltas to go out with a bang. During that speech is when he utters the iconic phrase of stupidity, which sums up so neatly why the Deltas were being expelled, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" Bluto then charges out of the Fraternity House and half-heartedly the rest of the members eventually follow. They then proceed to wreak havoc during the College's annual homecoming parade destroying property and committing mischief.
This scene resembles remarkably well the way liberals act in real life and nothing illustrates this better than the recent case of McDonald v. Chicago where the onerous gun ban imposed by the City of Chicago was successfully challenged and struck down by the United States Supreme Court. The reason the city of Chicago lost the case is obvious to anyone more interested in the truth and who has not spent their time seeking out in debauchery while partying on the tax payer's dime. Mayor Richard Daley however is not such a person.

that’s insulting Blutarsky!!ha.
Mind ifnwe dance wit yo dates?LOL
Just like a science experiment with a number of subtle variations that has been tried in all manner of situations and time period with the SAME EXACT RESULT, we Do not need to repeat that same Stupid experience – No matter what the H@ll you call it...
The collector's edition DVD has a "where are they now" feature, puporting to show the characters 25 years later. Belushi, being dead, couldn't reprise Bluto, so they simply ran a voice over saying "of course you know where Bluto is" with a shot of the White House.
That's SENATOR Blutarsky to you.
Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.

Zinger from the article -- that'll leave a mark.
Loved Animal House -- fortunately I was married when it came out but the junior officers in the Bachelor Officer's Quarters where I was stationed in Germany decided to stage a Toga Party. Needless to say, it was not well-received by the community commander. It was a topic of much discussion for quite some time, though.
Now HERE’s a sentence! I’m still looking for the subject and verb in the second clause:
The City of Chicago lost the case because despite years liberals who are unkind to liberty trying desperately to rewrite the meaning of the Second Amendment to our Federal Constitution into some non-individual right and only a right of the state they were unsuccessful.
Belushi did more in that scene with one raised eyebrow, than most "comedians" of today can accomplish in a entire movie.
They don't make 'em like 'Animal House' any more.
Thanks to PC they're not allowed to.
Animal House, Stripes, Caddyshack, Blues Brothers, etc...these are some of the movies I have on constant viewing rotation on my computer.
I can click one of them on and no matter where it starts just pick it up and roll with it.
I agree with the sentiment, but this article was painful to read.
Was this a highschool paper?
I recall you calling me a fool on a pitbull thread. I'm so glad I didn't respond in kind.
Nope. Go’head...say something funny.
