'Sfoot, I'll learn to<br />conjure and raise devils, but I'll see some issue of<br />my spiteful execrations. Then there's Achilles, a<br />rare enginer! If Troy be not taken till these two<br />undermine it, the walls will stand till they fall of<br />themselves. O thou great thunder-darter of Olympus,<br />forget that thou art Jove, the king of gods and,<br />Mercury, lose all the serpentine craft of thy<br />caduceus, if ye take not that little, little less<br />than little wit from them that they have! which<br />short-armed ignorance itself knows is so abundant<br />scarce, it will not in circumvention deliver a fly<br />from a spider, without drawing their massy irons and<br />cutting the web. After this, the vengeance on the<br />whole camp! or rather, the bone-ache! for that,<br />methinks, is the curse dependent on those that war<br />for a placket.

Be less abrasive, less abusive, less vulgar, and aim for a modicum of subtlety and good taste in our denunciations, excoriations, and analytical remarks. <br /><br />In other words take this timeworn advice to heart:<br /><br /><b>DON'T GET MAD, GET EVEN.</b><br /><br />And try not to be blatantly obvious.<br /><br />This is part of the reason I often write in verse. It takes some discipline and must be done with a cool, analytical approach. I don't recommend it for everyone, but it's so much more personally rewarding than addressing someone you disagree with as "You filthy piece of shit," or "You fucking moron, or "You idiot," etc. FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-71157284664113262232014-11-15T12:28:24.255-05:002014-11-15T12:28:24.255-05:00So now we have a Monkey and a Dog.

He's emblematic of a great many of the more objectionable characteristics leftists bring to the realm of political discourse and debate.<br /><br />His toxic presence, ill will, sour disposition and warped personality do much to aid "our" cause, and help prove "our" case. Horrible examples tend to do that<br /><br />THEREFORE, I recommend being <i>very</i> polite to Jimm. That will either mellow him a bit, which would be lovely, or more likely help his odious behavior stand out like the proverbial Sore Thumb to be counted against the Left.<br /><br />Ducky, however, has worn out his welcome here. His act has grown tired, limp and stale, and it leaves a bad odor as well, so Ducky is O-U-T, unless he decides to abandon his present perpetual flippant, sarcastic attack mode, and starts to behave like a civilized person.

The one presented in the video, taken at a later time no doubt, shows her to be more formidable.<br /><br />I thought the video, itself, was hilarious. It MUST have been done "tongue-in-cheek," because NOBODY talks that way in real life, do they? <br /><br />Good Heavens! I hope not!<br /><br />Nevertheless, a lot of good information about a minor historical figure was presented, so there is much to learn from that quaintly cheerful presentation. <br /><br />The video, itself, and the story of Lydia Maria Child are far more interesting than the song, which we used to sing in elementary school, and even in Sunday school back in the kinder, gentler, more innocent and naive era in which I was born and raised.<br /><br />Anyway, I think it beats talking about Ebola, Obama, the ACA, the IRS, Benghazi, Islamaniacs, Unemployment, Illegal Immigration, Food Stamps, Closing Hospitals, Doctors Deserting their Once-Noble Profession in Droves, Marxicrats, and how much the Left hates the Right and vice versa.<br /><br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-80912887096098178702014-11-15T06:40:26.369-05:002014-11-15T06:40:26.369-05:00Come to think of it she look like a teabag.Come to think of it she look like a teabag.Razor Edgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-64305115402261225182014-11-15T06:20:41.635-05:002014-11-15T06:20:41.635-05:00Finally!
