A truce.

[meus-ovatio.livejournal.com]

I propose that we convene a meeting to ratify a truce. Peace is expensive, and you have to give something to get something. In the interest of national unity and bipartisanship, I propose the following resolution:

WHEREAS, the Liberal Delegation, interested in the pursuit of peace and justice and WHEREAS, the Conservative Delegation, interested in truth and justice, DO HEREBY SWEAR TO THE FOLLOWING: 1)All criticism of Israel is hereby admitted as cover for anti-Semitism AND 2)All criticism of Barack Obama, AA, rap, drugs and low-pants is hereby admitted as cover for general racism of the American sort, mostly against African-Americans. RESOLVED, this day, whatever it is, SIGNED, by whomever.

Sure you didn't mean 'phat'?

Somebody say "Shenanigans"?

Why do you hate America???

And what about THE CHILDREN!?!?!?

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

Where are you going with this...

[johnny9fingers.livejournal.com]

And (for the sake of argument) if Jewish folk criticise Israel or black folk criticise Obama?

Please no paradoxical questions on Friday before 6PM.

[chron-job.livejournal.com]

Or, if I accuse the Israeli prime minister of wearing baggy pants?

[meus-ovatio.livejournal.com]

Self-hating jews and uncle toms? You had to ask?

ant-saggy pants =/= racism | anit-saggy pants = homophobia

The TRUE history of saggy pants
Started in the 1930's the sagging of pants was used as a way to distinguish between the heterosexual and homo sexual inmates........... if u were deemed as someones "Property" or "wife" you were made to wear your pants sagging below your waist line for easy access to "husbandly right"

I've always thought this was interesting because none of my gay black friends ever sag. Still I like it.

Meh, I've told plenty of obnoxious white kids to pull up their damned pants, too. I just don't think I should need to see someone's underwear.

This makes me happy in my twisted heart!

Sure, take all the fun out of it, why don't you?

I will not accept a truce that will minimize me being able to have an internet fight with someone I don't care about.

[verytwistedmind.livejournal.com]

This is why I love the internet and TP. It's allowed me to get along better with my friends. I don't need to debate politics with real people anymore. Just faceless texts on a screen.

*checks calendar*

Its Friday.

Oh okay. The world will live on.

As a half-Jew, with good friends who LIVE in Israel, I submit that criticism of Israel (as a political entity) is NOT anti-Semitism.

As a liberal-leaning person (but not actually a Democrat) who voted for Obama, I submit that there are PLENTY of legitimate criticisms of the President, regardless of his racial heritage, and that we should always scrutinize our political leaders.

A rebel! Slay him!

Yeah lets take it the other way...

win

[gunslnger.livejournal.com]

I don't see how that's a compromise in any way. That's just having conservatives sign on to what liberals have always claimed.

[sailor-moonbeam.livejournal.com]

i think that's the point....

[eracerhead.livejournal.com]

I like toast.

I nearly laughed off my seat...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

The idea that a Conservative is interested in truth and justice made me laugh so heartily that I had trouble staying seated. Then I thought about it for a while and realized that even people who favor deception and injustice have an interest in truth and justice, if only to figure out how to avoid them.

but what about the black-jewish-catholic-muslim-aryan brotherhood?

They were wiped out by the Judean Peoples Front

I just put this in here to rattle the conservatives. Tomorrow, Charlie Rangel.
