Seems like almost two years ago I was kicked out of an unofficial group of my union guys, a bunch of stagehands, at Yahoo groups. The group is moderated by two wingnuts, and is supposed to be to talk about all things stagehand uniony. I took that to mean politics, since unions are inherently political. In fact, they're down-right socialist.
Now two years ago, I was pretty mad. We hadn't won the 2006 elections yet, but it was looking good. The group discussion was pretty hot and heavy, and at one point one of the group moderators called me comrade. Calling me a commie makes even less sense than calling them fascist. In fact, I can demonstrate that the Bush administration, indeed conservatives in general, are autocratic if not actually fascist. So I answered the charge of me being a commie by saying "Sig Heil."
For that I was kicked out of the group.
So, it's OK to call people commies who aren't, but it's not OK to call that person a Nazi when they're not? It was hilarious, frankly.
Well, today, that same guy invited me to join the group again.
So, I sent him this and BCCed it to all my friends from the group.
Is this a joke? You going to call me "comrade" and then cut me off when I call you a fascist like when you kicked me out before? Why should I subject myself to your whims to talk to a bunch of people I've been accused of alienating? Remember? People left the group because of me, right?
Who's the left wing moderator of the group, or is it still you two Republicans?
Finally, you right wing nuts ruined this country. You should be ashamed yourselves.
If you'll post this, then I'd be happy to hear you try to defend the last eight years on a regular basis. You can tell me how it's conservative to dictate who can marry whom. You can tell me how it's conservative to tell people they can't smoke pot for their pain, or go peacefully instead of in agony. You can tell me how it's conservative to double the debt to 10 trillion, to bankrupt the next generation, to allow the creation of trillions of dollars of imaginary wealth that disappears just as quickly. You can tell me how it's not fascist to give one branch of government, indeed ONE MAN, complete control of a 700 billion dollar package of wall street welfare while you whine about your imaginary welfare queen. You can rage on about how Iraq was a good idea, how Saddam was in on 911, how he had WMD because everyone thought so, and all the other LIES you and your hero president and the rest of his minions spread while the taxpayer was being robbed of pallet loads of cash that were literally lost by the Viceroy of Iraq! I can't wait to hear you guys justify all that by saying, well, that commie Supak is just a raving hard left lunatic.
Post this, brothers, and I'll think about joining your precious little group again.
Now excuse me while I watch the election returns. I'm just dying to see if McCain can even win Arizona.
Can't wait to hear back. I just hope all this snow up here doesn't knock down any more of these old socialist Rural Electrification Administration lines (owned by one of these commie co-ops)! We just went three days with no power (or election coverage)!
