The Irony Meter is out for repairs or I'm sure it would be broken again.

[charlie and algernon]

1. cool, I had no idea there was a Patriotic Mountain

I wonder what state it's in. I may have to climb it this weekend.

[Hawkeye-X]

4. We got Mount Democrat here..

Close enough?

[charlie and algernon]

sure, but it looks awfully cold there

gonna hafta pass on climbing Mount Democrat. Hopefully Mount Patriotic is in a warmer climate.

[EFerrari]

2. Are you sure it's not just another white supremacist?

[imdjh]

3. What is he trying to say?

[kirby]

16. Dissent is patriotic n/t

[imdjh]

20. OK, I guess the costume threw me. I was thinking it was a Sons of The American Revolution thing. nt

[elehhhhna]

29. It is decent to be patriotic?

[sofa king]

39. I thought he was talking about the video game.

5. Can you have fascism and communism at the same time?

[YOY]

10. No...you can have a totalitarian dictatorship form of Communism

Fascism implies corporate empowerment by the government.

Granny there never took a poli-sci course. Knowing what you are talking about implies being a "librul".

[ejpoeta]

15. corporate empowerment by the government... isn't that just about what we have now??

[YOY]

21. There are a few more significators.

But we were on the path...may still be if the sane left isn't given proper voice. Just MHO.

[sofa king]

40. Yep.

We also have lapel pins, closeted homosexual political leaders, far-right conservatives masquerading as "compassionate," wars of aggression, wars based on false pretenses, gangs of thugs interrupting political meetings, and our own version of the Reichstag fire. And of course, Prescott Bush.

The only Nazi trait that didn't find itself reborn here in Reagantarctica is the moustache.

[Twinguard]

13. In her crazy little world, there can be Fascism and Communism together...

and the symbol would be the mirror-image of a swastika.

Seriously, her swastika is backwards.

Dumbass.

[jpak]

6. When teh patriotic is descented, it smells gooder!

:evilgrin:

[Ignis]

22. That's like decanting wine, in'nit?

:)

[TommyPaine]

7. Err..."morons"?

[Are_grits_groceries]

9. Errrrrrrrrrr... Catch a clue. nt

[TommyPaine]

19. Ah, forgive me for not knowing all the insidery lingo here.

A manual full of all the DU-specific jargon would be useful for those who don't average 10 hours a day on the boards. :eyes:

[KansDem]

23. There used to be a link to the Demopedia.

...which explains all the esoteric terminology used here on the DU. :)

But I can't for the life of me find it now...:(

[NMDemDist2]

32. it's in the research forum under "DU Glossary"

[KansDem]

34. Thanks!

:D

[alstephenson]

24. Ha! You're forgiven.

And welcome to DU!:hi:

[myrna minx]

27. Here's a glossary for some of our shorthand.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_oet&address=358x190

I'm not sure how up to date it is, but it should help. :hi: Welcome to DU.

[Are_grits_groceries]

28. My bad!

Sorry for snapping. Welcome to DU.

[NMDemDist2]

31. it's here in the handy DU glossary

[EFerrari]

11. It's the freeper spelling as we learned:

[imdjh]

12. It's a joke.

Some freeper type made a sign some time in the past which said something like, "Wake up! You morans!" and it has become the international symbol for English language challenged Americans of the right wing variety.

[YOY]

18. Watch some tea-baggerish FReep protests/counter protests.

We celebrate their spelling errors. Due to the first big one (see above) we pretty much call any RW protester who cannot spell a "moran". It is still unknown just who the "moran" really is and if he intentionally misspelled the sign. Perhaps he was possessed by the spirit of Bugs Bunny...most likely he is simply a non-educated Fox news sheep with a bad mullet.

[YOY]

8. Got GED?

Most likley no...but he did star as an extra in that Mel Gibson movie...director needed a guy to accurately portray a guy who took a 12-pounder carcass shot to the balls and lived.

[walldude]

14. LOL.. I don't think he could have got any more mistakes in there if he tried..

You'd think at some point the Republicans would get embarrassed by shit like this..

[MrScorpio]

17. So Up is Down?

That's clearly a right winger's message

It fits.

[HughMoran]

25. BJ's are patriotic?

That's all I read. :)

[zbdent]

26. maybe "descent" isn't a misspell ...

maybe he meant the "descent" of Republican IQs ...

Of course, he still got the quote wrong ...

"Highest form of Patriotic" ...

[vademocrat]

30. uhhh - descent into madness or descending the evolutionary ladder?

methinks he was at Valley Forge too long and froze his brainstem...

[hootinholler]

33. This totally explains why the GOP is so low!

They think it's their patriotic duty to descend!

The whole time we've been dissenting, they've been rolling down the mountain.

I'll be.

-Hoot

[Gabi Hayes]

35. "It's got electrolytes!"

we're almost there

[Gabi Hayes]

36. relax, sit back, and enjoy it. the future is now:

[DCKit]

37. He's a Republican and it looks as if he may be wearing kneepads. Any questions? n/t

[anneboleyn]

38. This one made me snort. Hilarious.
