I *AM* a bleeding heart liberal. So fuck YOU.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

YOU people that want to feel good about a burglar getting dead for a crime.

YOU people that feel there is no rehabilitation possible.

YOU people that wait breathlessly for a chance to use a gun on another human being.

YOU people that believe that authority (read police) can do no wrong (they are an extension of government).

YOU people that think that war is the only way to keep us safe.

YOU people that think minorities threaten your lifestyles.

YOU people that think gay people are out to recruit your children and spouses.

YOU people that bow to authority.



LIVE. BREATHE. THINK.


On edit: Yes, I'm anti-gun, anti-violence, anti-war, antiauthority. A bit of a pacifist, but sick and tired to the point that I would gladly kick ass to help the downtrodden... Even when I don't like them. Go figure.

3. Aren't We Lucky To Be Us Rather Than Them?

I never look in the mirror and wonder about myself. I feel so fortunate to be a bleeding heart liberal.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

6. Dunno... I haven't thought about it that way...

I try to stay away from mirrors. Don't like vanity and at times I'm afraid of what I might see. :toast:

[abluelady]

31. Hey, You're One of the Good Guys

Don't be afraid of mirrors.

4. Gets a K & R from me. n/t

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. I Need a bumpersticker that says that....

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

13. Three more people and I'll do a graphic and put it up on cafe press in

a tee as well!

[malaise]

18. Here's one from me

because I agree with you.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

19. Okay.... One more and this weekend I'll put some graphics together,

PM the interested and put up a thread and go from there.

[Joanne98]

7. They're SCUM! K&R!

[Gregorian]

9. At least we have hearts.

Yep. You pretty much summed up my thoughts over the last thirty years.

You know, they say that if you fall in love, you are bound to get hurt. But if you never fall in love, your heart turns to stone. A brittle hard rock.

The key is to look at my sig line, and try to do that. I am constantly failing. It's for our own good. It keeps us from being like them. And it keeps them from thinking we're like them.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

37. Thanks....

Great post.

[jody]

10. I propose we first disarm all law enforcement officers. If you then no

longer feel threatened by those who would take your life, then we should disarm all law-abiding citizens.

:hi:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

11. I love ya' Jody, but that's a bullshit argument and you know it.

I've managed to live well over half a century without having to draw a gun even when one's been drawn on me... Side's, more people are killed by family members than those evil unknowns.

Hey, when your number's up...

[jody]

21. I've lived a few more years than you and I've also had guns drawn on me.

I've also drawn my handgun to stop an attack against my family and I'm thankful that I was armed.

Have a wonderful evening.

I'm having a martini and working on a LTTE.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

48. I hope it's dry and with a twist!

Best to you!

14. I'm glad there's still one left.

:toast: to you...

:hi:

[mdmc]

15. but are you for big government?

that is the sure sign of liberalism. Are you really a liberal?:)

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. If it's by the people, for the people.... You bet.

If it is truly representative it will be as big as it needs to be.

[mdmc]

23. a big tax liberal?

:wow::toast:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

24. Okay, I admit.... I'm a pinko. n/t

46. You 'de tops, RW!

Thanks :toast:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

25. Ooo.

Did I miss a good flame war?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

26. Not really...

Just a general feeling from several items in LBN and several other threads.

There seems to be at least 6-7 high volume posters that are very intent on prooving that Dems love guns and big time punishment.

[Pacifist Patriot]

27. Pssst.....

I'm also in favor of higher taxes for a balanced budget and well-funded programs that benefit the community.

I'm so anti-violence my sons figured out mommy's hot buttons pretty darned quick.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

28. Shhhhhhh. Don't tell anyone.....

The mainstream media will hang you!

[Pacifist Patriot]

30. Bring 'em on!

;-)

Hell hath no fury like a pacifist denied her civil rights.

Heck, I'm even hiding out in the other room so I don't have to be exposed to a dumb ass football game. Though I must admit. It's not the violence that gets to me, but the commercialism.

Cheers!

29. Here's a pic of another

whip this baby out when you hear a neo-con deride "bleeding heart liberals".

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

43. Spot on!

[Rex]

33. Why don't you tell us where you stand?

:evilgrin: I'm a total non-conformist, so I have to disagree with you. On something.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

34. LOL! Perfect!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

35. Kick for longevity.

[Ptah]

38. Yeah?

'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison,
and did not help you?' He will reply, 'I tell you
the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the
least among you, you did not do for me.'" Matthew 25:41-45





"They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will
the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who
has compassion on them will guide them and
lead them beside springs of water." Isaiah 49:10

[hfojvt]

49. so you feel there is no rehabilitation possible

for the closed minded?

My heart bleeds for them :cry:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

50. Dunno... What do you think?

[hfojvt]

51. I think pink

"All alone, or in two's,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall."

I don't think anybody's leaving. So we better learn to get along.

[benEzra]

52. I agree with you on most of those issues...

but keep your fingers out of my gun safe, please. Thanks.
