ARGH! Sent My Mother A B&N Gift Card for her Birthday and She Bought..
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 02:26 PM by leftchick
OMG I want to vomit! I thought she would buy her usual favorite mystery authors with the Barnes and Noble card. INSTEAD SHE BOUGHT THIS CRAP WITH MY MONEY!! Well now it is her money but still...

2. Who are the counterrevolutionaries about whom we should most be concerned?

The counterrevolutionaries are those who have the greatest stake in society remaining as it has been for the past four decades. The average American has been told how to view the world by the few who control Mainstream Media. Left-wing leadership, the black, gay and feminist establishment leadership in this country has grown fat, rich and powerful through intimidation and threat. Career politicians believe they are owed their offices, running over and over and over again, never considering the fact that new ideas from a new generation are needed and invigorating.

Entities like the ACLU, New York Times, and even the IRS, previously thought to be invulnerable, now feel the earth shaking beneath their feet. They're finding Americans are no longer afraid to say no, cancel subscriptions, organize against them, and even ask for their abolition.

These entities and the people behind them have the most to fear and the most to lose. The establishment, leftist special interest groups, those who rely on the predictable status quo, should hang on tight. Their work is based in the presumption the average American knows nothing and can do nothing. They're now finding out how wrong they are.

GUESS WHAT MOM? I am one of those "extremists"!! :argh:

... now my Mother is obviously wing nutty but I love her. I always try not to bring up our different points of view when we speak. She doesn't seem to manage to hold her tongue as well as I do. I can't help but suspect she really enjoyed making this purchase. :(

She is getting flowers next year.

1. She is also gay
Don't even ask me how that makes sense.... I'm gay, and it literally astounds me.

3. And she claims to be a registered Democrat.
:wow:

I guess she must be related to Zell Miller.

11. I Think That Claiming To Be a Dem Or a Liberal...
...is one of the right wing's new attempts to justify their bile.

I debated a wing nut at the Laundromat the other day and she fed me the talking points word for word. When I asked if she got her lines from ann, rush or sean, she responded that she was a liberal democrat.

Yeah, I believe that!

5. when I asked my mom on the phone who she was...
ahe read the jacket and said she was on Faux and wrote a column for...NEWSMAX! I told my mother Newsmax isn't even considered news by most people who come across it. I also said it appears she bought herself another fiction. :(

So you know who this freak is? I don't think I need anmore information. her webite is gross.

10. She used to be the head of local NOW in California.
She was always more a publicity seeker and ambitious for herself and her bank account more than women's issues.

16. As president of LA chapter NOW she led protest on OJ Simpson's
treatment of women. National chapter didn't want to offend the blacks.

19. Yep...but she was always full of self and money-hungry.
Interesting how the GOP finds all the greediest people one way or another. Dick Morris, Tammy Bruce, Zell Miller, Norm Coleman, et al.

26. Part of that is that Tammy has many race problems
Like the way she harangued Bill and Camille Cosby after their son was killed. It actually led to her being pulled from the air on KFI, a Clear Channel-owned station full of wingnuts.

How bad do you have to be to have Clear Channel pull you for your race problems? As bad as Tammy. Or, as Bob Somsersby calls her, "A Girl Named Bruce."

29. her primary reason for doing so
was the spotlight.
She's a whore for attention. Only Bill O'Reilly is her equal in that respect.
They live for the headlines.

6. Here's Tammy's self-grandizing bio, well part of it.
Tammy Bruce is an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Bush progressive feminist.


What is wrong with this picture?

Tammy Bruce in all her crappy glory!

21. Setting herself up to be 'cured' by one of those 'we fix homos' preachers?
after all, it's a "lifestyle choice" and if you just let them completely fuck with your mind they can turn you right around 180 degrees and you're heart's desire will be a little home with a picket fence in the suburbs and a breadwinner husband who comes home demanding to know where dinner is...

25. You CANNOT be a voted-for-pResident bush progressive feminist.
The two concepts are polar opposites.

She went off the deep end, out here, after OJ. I used to like her, a LONG time ago, but then she just completely went thermonuclear. Anyone who boasts about voting for that jackass FUCKER is NO progressive. And NO ally of mine.

7. Buy her a gift donation to the HRC, ACLU or NGLTF.
There are a whole lot of worthy acronyms that can help un-do the damage mom's purchase has caused.

Whatever the book cost, donate double that amount to an organization antithetical to the book's agenda.

18. HRC sells cute little "Equality Bears"
They also make an excellent present to congratulate a pro-family right-winger on their second, third or fourth marriage.

12. Does your mother ask "Where did I fail as a mother?" I'm guessing she is
very, very proud of you and all you've accomplished. Reading a book is one way to become informed about issues with which one agrees or disagrees.

Give your mother a big hug and say "I love you". Such moments will mean more when she's no longer in this life.

:hi:

14. "fat, rich & powerful"?
I think that's spin on "successful".

Well, not everyone who is poor is noble, not everyone who is rich (and fat and powerful) is evil, and not everyone who claims to be gay is an honest decent person.

How funny for an elitist so-called lesbian to be pretending to be anti-establishmentarian. An ersatz rebel without a pause.

Someone please send her a toaster oven recall.

17. Don't worry it wasn't your money
once you gave it to her as a gift it was her money to buy what she saw fit.

No books or videos to be drawn into. Plenty of Environmentally safe cleaning products though.

23. Tammy Bruce used to have a show on "Sirius Right" satellite radio
or maybe "Sirius Patriot." She still may, but I don't have Sirius anymore.

At no time did MENSA ever call and offer membership, predicated on Tammy's reasoning prowess.

28. my mother told me she had a radio show
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 03:47 PM by leftchick
I suspect my winger sister who happens to be visiting from Falwell country VA and who took her to the store was a huge influence. :grr:

I know my mother hasn't heard her show and I am guessing dear demented sister listens to it in VA and gave her a glowing review.

24. Tammy B, just another StealthCon
What's a StealthCon? A "media personality" (columnist, radio personality, TV (esp. cable) political talk show guest) who claims to be a liberal but talks the Republican party line, and spends all their energy attacking "extreme radical" liberals (i.e., people who actually advocate liberal policies).

Just another cog in the Mighty Wurlitzur spin machine.
