The Conservative Thread: Back to Basics. Pass the Lasagna and Have a Flower!!

[loco4dis]

So, out on the CB, I'm reading but NOT posting.

Here's a recap:

Apparently, some people get just livid — I mean really wild angry — when terrorist nutjobs say mean things about Obama. But when Obama hangs out with terrorist nutjobs? Not so much.

Some European leaders wouldn't shake hands with GWB, and it's…are you ready?…KARMA. Okey-dokey. AND, now that Obama is going to be president, this no-shakey-hands thing will be dealt with forthwith! Oh yeah, those European leaders WILL be shaking American hands now that The One is in charge. He's going to see to that! He's a born leader, you see, and he WILL bring about the Treaty of Worldwide Handshaking we've all been hungering for these past 8 years. And once they DO shake hands? Poof! All the world's troubles will be gone. It will hereafter be known as "the laying on of hands by The One." And there will be peace on Earth.

There's some kind of raging debate about people selling their food stamps for cash so they can buy Obama memorabilia. Ya just gotta love the capitalist instincts of the human animal, dontcha? Those Obama souvenirs will be up on E-bay before you can say "Obama who?"

In the meantime, the stock market had fallen harder and faster in anticipation of a new administration's bad policies than at any time in US history. Don't those stock guys know that Obama is magic? What's with them, doubting him and all? Don't they know that when he saves the planet, it will include the stock market, too? What could they possibly have any doubts about?

Sadly, I've been reading it all and posting in one. Oh and the raging debate about people/food stamps/memorabilia began on this thread (page before) that an OS took over to another thread.

More CB recap…

And, just like clockwork, someone has brought in Jesus, as in "and they're the party that talks about…Jesus!" You got that? Disagree with them, and they're gonna remind you that you're a Christian…and, well, Christians just don't, ummm, disagree with liberals or else they're gonna get called out as…Christians and stuff. So watch it. You…You…Christians!

LakeAriel's taking the welfare posts from this thread to another thread. You guys have really ticked her off with this one.

(Hi LakeAriel I think the original post was a joke but since you had to comment on it; it's turned into an actual discussion on this thread.)

I've read grocery store cashier's stories of checking out a person on welfare that had a whole cart full of junk food and stuff and then baby formula and diapers. When the total came out to be more than what was on the card, they'd put back the baby formula and keep the junk.

So many of these types of stories that I've read before. It's pathetic. And now to find out that some of them have an actual bartering system set up? And some are able to buy drugs with it?

OH well! Sorry, the original little ditty was a joke, but one that has a certain kernel of reality involved. Now I have no personal point of reference on Obama memorabilia purchasing, but some of the other stuff I do know from my own life experiences. Don't like it? So sorry. Get a job like I had, working swing or grave in an inpatient rehab, and you will get quite an education. People in places like that have trouble sleeping and are restless, and want to talk. If you're the only one up and available, you're going to hear a lot of things you NEVER thought of, and probably didn't want to. I could tell you all manner of freaky things not only about abusing the system, but about creative ways of scamming, conning, robbing and causing bodily harm to others. Uses for Visene that definitely are not listed on the box, for example. I've had quite an education in my life, and I don't own any rose colored glasses. I already said my sister lives on disability, which is, BTW, a form of "welfare." She gets food stamps. My daughter is on state medical. I'm not biased against people who use the system, I just happen to know that there are plenty who abuse it, and that there is a weird mentality that surfaces in a portion of any given population if they see a chance to get something for nothing. My mother used to do a little experiment in her groups (she's a CDSIII drug and alcohol counselor) where she put out a box of bowling pencils marked free, and watched her group stuff their pockets. When she asked what they were going to do with them, the majority said, essentially, "I have no idea, but they were free."

Yeah, I've been reading some of those too...and just backed away from the keyboard. Glad you remembered to back away from the keyboard too, Loco.

loco4dis, thanks for the recap so I don't have to venture outside!

Since BO is the anointed one, is he going to rectify that my financial portfolio is down 48.7%? If he can turn around the stock market and I'm UP 48.7% his first 100 days in office, I may have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Should I start holding my breath on 1.20.09? I mean CHANGE and HOPE, right?

I'm scared.


Let's all sing and hold hands, shall we?

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with HIM
Let there be peace on earth on 1/20/09 it will begin...
With O as our leader.....broke we all will be....
Let us pay for your brother in peace and harmony.....

Let peace begin with HIM
let this be the moment now.
With every step he takes,
fear not his solemn vow....

To spread the wealth but pay for your health
And compulsory volunteerism for all! (What fun!)
Let there be Peace on Earth,
and let it begin with The One.

Come on, join me!! Let there be peace on earth.... (Go ahead and change the lyrics if you'd like - I'm sure we need a second verse).

 

[Michelle67]

Okay, not going to post this on the thread I drug the article out of, because it's OT on that thread, but I am rolling over this (or having a terror induced seizure, I'm not sure which it is).

The meeting between Bush and Obama was supposed to be private, as Fratto reminded journalists today, but the president-elect's aides divulged afterwards....

Second article I've read on things Obama aides divulged from the "private" meeting between Bush and Obama. Oh yeah. The man is going to be BRILLIANT in the areas of national security and international relations, isn't he?

Behind closed doors: oh yes, of course these discussions are completely confidential.

Next day: details come out in the press.

Obama: Wasn't me. Must have been my aides. Oooops.

Hope he gets a handle on that little situation soon, while it is only insulting to the current president nobody cares about, and not to the all-important world leaders who are soon scheduled to begin worshiping at his feet.

Thank you for the recap! I saw the scary plates yesterday. dfil has a scary plate collection. He's the same one who came unglued when DH, DS (who can't vote), and I gave our reasons for supporting McCain. I swear I might buy one of those crappy plates for him for Christmas so he can put it next to elvis or a wolf or something. He lives in a multi million dollar house, he's the cfo of a hospital service co.. he has freaking plates all over his finished basement! Scary I tell you!

Did I just type the word crappy?

I just got online a bit ago and was showing my dad the prices online for the resorts. Opened two windows, showed how he'd be paying $100 more to stay in a Mod regular price than WL or AKL with the discount and...















WL here we come!

Now to figure out the dates. I'd like to try AKL, but if this does end up being my last trip for a long time, I'd rather stick with WL.

Just had to celebrate a bit before I get to reading.

I'm happy for ya.

And about those plates, will someone please say a prayer for me that my mother doesn't see those? She doesn't have a ton, but she does have a plate collection going on. Between that and my dad's pathological addiction to buying things he sees on television, I can SO see them buying one of those AND putting my name on the back of it. In case that doesn't make sense...my mother is 70 and thinking about the fact that she won't be around forever, so she's been going around for the past few years putting names on the backs (bottoms, whatever) of things that she wants each of us to have, so we don't fight over anything. I guess it might not be that bad. I could test out that old hex-barreled rifle of my dad's and try my hand at skeet.

Hey DOLCE! *shouting to be heard over all the chitty chatty around here*

How is your chest today? Mine's a lot better. It really hurt last night, in front and under my shoulder blades, but I drank a couple cups of medicinal tea last night and whether it was that or just the passing of time, the stuff broke up overnight. I coughed and coughed and hacked and spit this morning (kinda freaked the kids out) and I'm still coughing, but at least the stuff is moving now. Drinking more tea every few hours for good measure. Still feel a little bum, but much better than yesterday. Hope you're getting better too.

We're not allowed to use dishes at their house. The stepmonsterinlaw says we might break one. Same lady who said her dogs had to get used to my newborn so I shoudl just put a two week old infant on the ground. Don't worry, she didn't raise anyone, they were all raised and out of the house by the time she came around.

I'm so excited because dsil is doing Thanksgiving. We all bring stuff anyways, but this way we get to eat on plates with silverware! stepmonsterinlaw makes us wash the plastic cutlery! We'll have the same food as always, since we've always brought the food to their house, just new location with real stuff! WOOO HOOO!

I remember the first time we went over there for Christmas, years ago. As soon as we got out of the car we heard, "Why are you dressed up?" She told us that since Hannakuh wasn't important to her that she didn't think Christmas should be important to us. *eye roll*

I've seen welfare abuse in my time, including people in my family. It's reprehensible but it happens. Sorry, people.
And don't tell me I'm not a Christian because I don't believe people should be taking advantage of welfare.

It originally started as a joke. Do I think only welfare recipients will buy it? No. My good friend is a single mom on welfare and can't stand bo.
Do I think only poor people will buy it? No, I'm sure some hollyweird idiots will buy it.

Congrats! but.. go for AKL! AKL AKL AKL AKL!! *planting subliminal messages in your head*

Michelle, if you don't get enough plates, when we get our plates years from now I will give ours to you! One of the rooms they're in is the game room. I can't tell you how many times all of us have tried to kill those plates with pingpong balls. He put them on the walls too well! They just won't come down accidentally! (and no one has managed to get a billiards ball to fly that far... darnit! LOL)

Whenever someone gets bored and says it out loud one of us *second generation* always jumps up, grabs them, and says... "let me show you the new plates!* now the third generation is getting into the act!
