Bloviating Zeppelin: Retort

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Thanks for the question, you little jerk; you're drafted."

Smooth move, John.

It's funny, but I'll bet the students didn't think so.; Wed Sep 05, 07:12:00 AM PDT

The WordSmith from Nantucket said...: But during a town hall-style meeting, students were more interested in pushing McCain on the environment, his support for gay rights and even his age.

Doesn't that tell you, right there, how our kids are being educated? Global warming and "civil" rights for gays is more important than radical Islamic terror.

And the hutzpah for the 16 year old to comment about "I came here hoping to see a good leader....I don't."

Doesn't matter how much you may agree with him; for a punk to be so disrespectful to an elder, let alone an elected leader....a military draft would probably do that kid some good.; Wed Sep 05, 02:15:00 PM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Wordsmith: I don't necessarily disagree with McCain's statement. My disagreement is this:

When you begin a campaign, if this is where you go, then make it CLEAR that this is WHAT YOU ARE from the beginning.

If I were running, I would be an apologist for NO ONE. Every person would know my thoughts and my thoughts would have mirrored McCain's. "You insignificant little shit, when you can actually get here other than on your bicycle, and you have a job other than McDonald's, we'll perhaps talk. Otherwise," -- SLAP -- "here are my thoughts regarding your stupid fucking comments."

Dionne said...: Yah, Sean Hannity was trying to make a weak defense of this and I just thought no matter whether it was a joke or not I think I would've been taken aback by having that said to me by a presidential candidate.

But when it comes to John McCain nothing surprises me.; Wed Sep 05, 09:43:00 PM PDT
Crazy Politico said...: Listening to the whole thing it was a joke, and taken as such by the kids. They had just finished discussing the idea of a draft, so the kid knew where the comment came from.

This thing is a case of the blogging world pulling an MSM, and taking something completely out of context, and making a huge deal out of it.

Bloviating Zeppelin

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
