Count me in with you. The Republicans start pushing abortion, we part company. We divorce.

[I have no idea what a jackwagon actually IS and I'm a former infantry captain!]

 

Nope not a Gunny. 

 

"Jackwagon" -- Well, I recall the term being used around the campfire on outings with my dad and his LEO coworkers way back in the 60s.  That's my earliest recollection of it.  And yep, they pretty much used it the same as R. Lee Ermy's Gunnery Psychologist character in the Geico commercial.   ie "man, what a jackwagon to get caught like that - threw his whole life away".

 

Also recall usage such as "He's going to end up handcuffed in the jackwagon if he keeps that up".   So I always figured "Jackwagon" was related to "Paddywagon" and folks who ended up in same.

 

I also recall another colloquial use of the word "Jack" ie: "Take your time, don't jack that up, we don't have another one" - that was used when we were working on cars in the garage.

 

But since you asked and made me curious...     A little Googling indicates the "Jack-wagon" was the cowboy's chow wagon.  That makes sense - if an errant cowboy required restraint out in the field, the chow wagon would be the logical place to put them.  Or make them wash dishes / peel potatoes etc. for behavior modification.

 

Here's the definitions in the urban dictionary:

 jackwagon

 

When something goes awry; someone who fouls something up, i.e., plans, projects, etc.
1. The vacation plans were jackwagoned.

 

2. I can't believe he messed up the vacation plans, what a jackwagon!

In fact there's a whole plethora of derogatory terms beginning with "Jack" listed, "Jackass", for example.   But most of which are inappropriate in polite company.  

 

I don't know who/what "Jack" was to deserve such a derogatory connotation - but he/it must have been of unsavory character, consistent with the degenerate character of those Jackweasels who wrote and signed the letter in the thread's subject article - and tried to "hiJack" the Tea Party into their Jack-wagon - which is loaded with a whole bunch of stupid, regardless of whether it's named Jack, or not.

” Liberals ALWAYS claim that social conservatives are trying to impose a “theocracy” any time we suggest that abortion and sodomy are immoral. “

The same clowns who believe it is “separation OF church FROM all!

Tea Party leaders are campaigning to keep social issues off the Republican agenda

= vote for Romney, etc

Thanks! I'm a teacher who tries to learn something new every single day. You have provided today's lesson and it was worth it. Sorry we were speaking at cross purposes, earlier. No offense.

You’re welcome! :-)

It was making the rounds on Facebook a few weeks ago, I was stunned when I watched it. Awesome animations!

[SnakeDoctor]

Looks like I missed all the fun. Haha. Every once in a while there’s a really good thread to separate the real deal from the imposters.

A little FR housecleaning was in order.

[Darksheare]

Yeah, I noticed that a little bit further down thread.
*sigh*
But there’s more where he came from.

I know. Too many.

I would like to stick with federalism. Let’s debate the social issues at the state level and fiercely guard state sovereignty. We will certainly have a much better chance of advancing conservative social causes at the state level.

Janet Napolitano was asked if TSS would pat down Muslim women in burkas like they are going to do everyone else. Her response was that she needed to study that issue and she would get back with them.

Social issues are at the forefront of what Obama and the socialists are pushing. If the newly elected Congress is too timid to take them on, then the Socialists and Terrorists win by default.

[gidget7]

agreed. They7 too are part of the Repugnant Party!

[LomanBill]

You’re welcome. And thank you for your patience. It’s been a pleasure talking to you. ;-}

You know I have a 14 yr old daughter in public school ...”not by my choice”...you must have heard the teens talk ...when something is bad,, they say.... “thats so gay”...as a group they continually daily reenforce that “gay” behavior is disfuntional...they do this naturally.They dont need to be told...and being told what to think ...just solidifies the issue for them.

Marriage...has no business being a gov. issue...the state is concerned in it only as a method by which to monitor, tax and control U.S....Havent we had enough?

I know from my own experiance about abortion...I supported it done to avoid condemnation from my ultra conservative christian family... my life is much smaller than it could have been.

Making it illegal wont help...the gypsys and the chineese induce abortion...by simple rythmic pounding on the girls abdomin.

Government control..of this situation is not possable.

But by Attempting to control it, the door is opened for All Manner of Social Control.

Like the health care bill.

LCR is not exactly a conservative group, anyhow, so I’m not sure why the article painted them as such.

Considering that Politico, where this article was found, is the same politico that labels Barack Obama as a moderate, as well as McCain and Mitt Romney as conservatives? Would it surprise you then, that Log Cabin Republicans get the “conservative” label from Politico?

[Morpheus2009]

I’m a pretty homophobic guy, and quite sure I don’t agree with a lot of the social agenda of gay fiscal conservatives. But if I do happen to agree with them on size of government issues, why wouldn’t I cooperate with them on those issues?

Temporary alliances are most certainly possible. However, the main problem is that the exact budgetary/fiscal issues are anything but simple to get an exact agreement on which causes are we going to change? Are we going to get a ban on federally funded abortions? Who would be willing to at least bring into honest question the way our funding for medical research grants into better treatments for cancers, AIDS, what about figuring ways to promote or discourage, rather than try to mandate, various bad behaviors that can increase one’s own risk of developing or contracting various diseases that we pay to try and treat and/or cure?

All I am saying, and trying to make sense about here, is that the real questions and possible solutions to the fiscal issues are tough, and divisive, along social lines. The two are not entirely separate, because the solutions would be divisive along the lines of one’s moral convictions. I agree with you otherwise that yes, sometimes temporary alliances may happen, but in the end, the real solutions are divisive, and this is largely why some matters are truly untouchable to numerous politicians.

I think he's about the same as Yellow Snowe. No one right of Kuichinch can make her look like Helms. ;d

He will make losers like McCain and Lugar look like Helms though.

[Therapsid]

Exactly...

I think its much more than bankruptcy...And we are out of time...The chins army is bigger than the pop. of our country.

“The gov cannot be neutral. Either abortion is legal or it is illegal. Either homosexuals can be all over the place in the schools and military, or they cannot.”

Would social issues be easier to conquer nation wide or one state at at time?

[CriticalJ]

“How exactly does government do that without separating itself from the people and the rule of law? You miss the big picture...”

I support state rights. These issues should be decided on a state level.

“You support tyranny and a state religion being impose -you just do not realize it...”

Completely opposite in fact. If the federal government steps in and dictates social mandates across the board for all states, there is tyranny.

“Are you going to remain a useful idiot?”

Screw you.
