So, ModCon is thinking about offering some merchandise and one of those products would be apparel with a truthful politically incorrect one-liner and then a subtitle of “That’s right, I’m a P.I.G. (Politically Incorrect Guy). Get over it.” (or gal) and “Common Sense, try it.” First, we need one-liners. Second, if you have any other ideas for subtitles/brands to use for other apparel lines, feel free to share.
How ’bout – “Stop global warming, ‘plant’ a green.” Or “I’ll believe in global warming, when Al Gore is living naked in a cave.”
“Four years is a long time, when you’re in the unemployment line.”
Be kind to the forest. Give it CO2.
“Dissent is STILL Patriotic.”
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
I’d like to say something profound here outside of wishing you all the very best this Thanksgiving but I think Abe Lincoln said it best when he designated Thansgiving as a national holiday.
Well…that didn’t work. Let’s try again.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
I only check in here for the occasional Salma Hayek photo, but I’m thankful for that. Thanks!
Guffaw! Check it out, it’s Cousin Reginald! What a maroon.
I’m grateful for having a place of likeminded characters where I can virtually hang out and feel comfortable.
Most of all, I’m grateful for family, and liberty, and for those who make that liberty possible by their service and sacrifice.
Matt,Floyd’s falling down on the job…we want Salma!
I’m thankful that Bela Pelosi and Harry “Turkeyneck” Reid are on the chopping block next year…let’s start grinding those axes!
Since we don’t get Selma anymore, I’m thankful for Outlaw’s picks.
Actually, I’m thankful for everyone here, but especially for Outlaw in the sandbox. Thanks, buddy!
Hey guys..Happy Thanksgiving. You spelling challenged friend Steph.
My dog sheds more fur than anything I have ever seen. UGH! Just an FYI.
I’m especially thankful for Matt, June, Rich, Rufus, and Floyd…last year you were all there for me when the lights were out, and I’ll never, ever forget it.
I’m especially thankful for Outlaw and his buddies; I think of you every day and pray for you every night.
As for the rest of you: thanks for playing our copy of the home game! I’m grateful for all of you, too.
I ate too much!
