Turns out freedom is a subjective term, not a Hormel product that is canned and distributed to whitebread America as part of their birthright.



"Were you surprised? I was surprised."

Hell, I've seen some local idjits lowering American flags, displaying the flag upside down, hoisting Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me"s, etc. It's downright ridiculous. As far as the flag, they're disrespecting the symbol of 200+ years of national progress over a relatively petty issue... one that will probably be glossed over in a history textbook 50 years from now as a stepping stone to something a major world power does for its people. Some of my $100k/year neighbors are hoarding 5.56 and preparing for The Man to come and assault their compound. What the fuck, over? Did I miss the Armageddon memo?

Please. Enough of the fucking man tantrums. I'm sure the same crowd had issues when blacks became human and women became voters.

It's like two very different worlds in the same country.

To all the democrats? Congratulations on mediocrity. To all the paranoid conservative/Republican lemmings? The cliff is that way.
