Those who cry racism should be apologizing

OK, so Imus "apologized" for his stupidity. Now we are all holding our collective breath to hear Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do the "mea culpa" bit.

After all, they rushed to judgment on the Duke lacrosse players. Is it not "racist" to refer to those players as "rich, white, well-to- do ..."?

Give credit to the players' parents that they didn't use the term "racism" regarding the trumped-up charges of rape.

Also, don't hate people because they made something of themselves and have the means to defend themselves. Did it ever occur to the crybabies of this world that many people work hard to get an education that permits them to earn a decent salary?

Pick yourself up, stop crying and work your butts off like so many of us have and without the benefit of "grants" and "affirmative action."

Eileen, I'm sure there is a government program that exists somewhere to help people with your insensitive attitude.

Perhaps you should order that book that the little nerdy dude who wears that question mark designer suit is selling.

Conclusion:
Our housebound "Little Pussy" watches way too much television.

Seems that the Canadian wannabee is incapable of coming up with anything original, so he simply parrots what others say. Even his moniker is copied from thee slogan cRocko-o...feller coined.

"The Little Pussy"?...Yes, unlike you girls, I'm a big fan. :]

World traveler, I'm still interested in hearing what your children and wife (if you truly have a wife, may be a "partner" for all I know) had to say when you suggested they sew the flags of a wuss country to their backpacks while traveling the world in order to fool those ruffians into thinking you were Canadians and would not hesitate to run at the first sign of trouble.

Did they not even question "why"? I'm truly curious. Most people, including children, would at the very least ask this. Did you explain to them truthfully that their father suffered from 'limp wrist syndrome'...or did you pin the blame on someone else...Bush perhaps?

Again, I'm not holding my breath, but as was noted on another thread...we already know the answer to this...


Don't we?

Poor Little Pussy. She can't get any of her friends to come out and play with her... Here kitty, kitty, kitty....LOL!

Buckyreeds,
If you EVER see The Little Pussy post anything of substance, let the rest of us know. He [neocon] lives in such a black and white world, obiviously surrounded by his only friend, the television! LOL!!

Ned,
This is a great letter and I share your thoughts. As I contemplate another international trip with my family, I am even more disturbed at our standing in the world. While visiting London and France, we sewed Canadian flag patches to our backpacks---it saved us from the ire of many and we met many new friends through that act. I only wish we did not have to do that again.
Thanks again for your letter.

Oh, there you are, 'Meow', and can you say anything else? "Meow".
Didn't think so. Now go out and play...


Meow, Meow, Meow....

LOL!

Yes, I could ask about the look in your kid's eyes when you suggested the lot of you hide behind the Canadian flag while traveling abroad, but I'm not getting any satisfactory answers...just mumbo-jumbo about a cat.

"While visiting London and France, we sewed Canadian flag patches to our backpacks"...

You decide who is the real pussy..."LOL"

THE LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE [TypeKey Profile Page] said:

Oh, there you are...You Little Pussy. Meowing but not adding anything...It's a goood little pussy.


Meow! Meow!

..."not adding anything"... LMAO

World traveler, take a quick review of this thread.

Or any other thread as for that matter. All I see is you parroting whatever the last lib posted. LOL

BTW, I'm turning blue in the face waiting to hear what your family thought of your cowardly act.


"While visiting London and France, we sewed Canadian flag patches to our backpacks"... little pussy indeed. lol
