Velociworld

Much more elegant than my take on this today. Bill Whittle, too, is feeling it.

A convergence of something, as even now, the cosmos is roaring at us.

Yeah, yeah, leftists are liars and thieves.

Eloquently expressed, poetical even, but old, old news.

I am not easily amused and I need some news, no more of these olds.

Awesome, excellent, and extraordinarily exceptional.

It's also quickly being realized as one of those Self Evident Truths, as mentioned in our Declaration of Independence. Sadly, in this case, what's evident is the complete and absolute evil which is leftism in all it's modern forms.

I'd touched on that back in '04, and that post was a nominee (by some leftist turds, natch), for one of the "20 Most Hateful Posts of 2004".

A tidbit thereof, if I might?

"Well, let me correct myself. You are ashamed to be Americans, and your loathing of the home of your birth oozes, puslike, from your mouth and your very pores. Your stench is is just as distinctive, and magnatudes of orders more foul than that of the most prolific chain-smoker. You reek of the stench of your idealogy; the foul corpse of liberalism.

All you care about is your unceasing quest to regain power. To unseat President Bush. To appease the tyrants of the mideast, the U.N. and the E.U. You seek this at any cost, even if that cost is to American soldiers and civilians as they serve their Nation."

To have been thus nominated was indeed, an honor!

Honestly, I hope they nominate this post of yours for the same glorious honor. I'll go, hold my nose, log onto their filthy site and vote for you Chicago Style. Early and often.

You done good here, amigo. I'll tell you now, one thing that my late, lamented friend Airboss had once told me:

I'm proud to have you as a friend.

You've spoken truth here, and it's a very well-spoken truth. But a terrible, frightening something lurks just around and over and above and along the knife-edge of this truth.

If we can't communicate with these creatures of cretin, if we cannot restore this country to a semblance of concordance, in time to meet what is certain to be another epic challenge, then are we not on the verge of another even less civil war? Or worse?

"What's in the box?" "Pain."

Well done.

>em>For a Leftist does not possess the courage of his convictions, merely the courage of his emotions

Pen to paper...

I bow down in your general direction, acknowledging your brillience.

Well put.

This is the truth: I hopped over from hoosierboy's site to read this entry per his recommendation. When I saw you were anonymous, I only skimmed it.

The simple fact is this, if you don't publicly sign your name to something, it is cowardly tripe.

Erin O'Brien
Dyed in the wool lib
Cleveland, Ohio

(pulls up lawn chair) Oooh boyyy this is gonna be GREAT!

Erin,

Ask Andrew Sullivan who I am. Then go read my Hewitt Award post. I'm not exactly anonymous here.

Erin,

Velociman is only anonymous after midnight, and we often stay up until the birds are chirping. That would put you in a dangerous situation. Trust me on that.

Get in the game.

Bwahahahah!!!

Don't see any links and no time to research.

Enjoy Obama, baby.

One last question. Is that your picture over at my place?

Erin is another sad example of a liberal. She obviously has no fact-based arguments, merely the moral guidance of her wrung hands; therefore I am wrong because 1) I didn't put "Kim Crawford" at the end of the post, and 2) I must be the fat hairy redneck she herself posted on her website.

I couldn't get these people to prove my point so poignantly if I paid them.

Vman, like myself, is visible to anyone not anencephalic. If sullivan can find the Vman even Airin NO'brain oughta. if she has time enough to be an ass you think she'd have 30 seconds to google.

Great writing.

Oh, ignore Erin. That is the only argument she EVER uses; if you don't sign it, it isn't valid or factual.

Which is nonsense. If someone writes "Erin O'Brien is a Liberal" but, leaves it unsigned, does that make it untrue? Even she won't dispute that.

Or will she? Even though she signs everything, none of it makes any real sense. Disillusionment must be so fulfilling.

Sign me,

Happy I Don't Know Erin O'Brien Personally
(I have enough moonbats in my life)

Wow.
Great post Vman! (Og sent me over)
All spot on, IMHO.
Well done.

I love this rebuttal:
"Don't see any links and no time to research."

Translation:
"you used truth and logic against the left, and I can't think of a way to refute your arguments and you didn't give me possibility of mocking the links. I am SO too busy masturbating to the latest Obama Decree to do my own research. Please do my work for me so I can look smart and hip while I fail to belittle you or your ideas"

Typical entitlement mentality. YOU didn't provide Links I am to busy to research - do my work for me or your thoughts are invalid.

Erin must be one of those professional journalists we've been hearing so much about: incurious, inculcated, indoctrinated, but by-gawd credentialed.

It's more of the "fairness doctrine" that will allow the Kos Kids' anonymous footsoldiers to set the Media agenda.

Too bad "US News and World Report" hews to the Big Media custom of avoiding the Fuck-Word. You'd make a great columnist.

One minor quibble. You mention "the ridiculous and shrill evisceration of abstinence and morality training." If you're referring to the Bush administration's "Just Say No" abstinence-driven sex-education mandate, I'll tell you that you can teach morality all day and all night, but when adolescent hormones get involved, there is going to be some fucking. Abstinence-only sex education may be philosophically appealing, but it is a failure... and no doubt leads to an increase in teenage pregnancies and abortions.

But this is your Bully Pulpit, so I'll step down off my little soapbox now.

yeah...and most of 'em are not potty trained...

A hilarious work of satire. I especially like the way you employ the same use of dishonesty and subterfuge that you are allegedly attempting to eviscerate. A manifesto for truth and logic based entirely on falsehood and illogic . I haven't read such great irony since the last Matt Taibbi book.

Enjoy Obama, baby.

Only enjoyment I am going to get from this whole enlightened era of the messiah is in seeing how long it takes the faithful to figure out that nothing good is going to come of it. How can it? He's just an opportunistic lawyer from Chicago, a hollow politician. Have at it. Dazzle us with the brilliance of liberal leadership and guidance.

Elisson,

Who said anything about abstinence only? Not me. My issue is the complete rejection of abstinence as one component of sex education. If you're going to hand out a condom I don't see what wrong with saying it's for Emergency Use Only.

Fucking Ada, Scott's really smoked me out here. As best I can tell his rebuttals to my points are

1.

2.

3.

But I'm not so sure about 3.

I think that I shall never be
As great with words as "Mr. V"

His pen a sharp as any sword
All lib'ral oxen cleanly gored.

Though "Truth to power" is their phrase,
"V's" shining light will leave them dazed.

V-man dissects their Siren's song,
exposing all within that's wrong.

Poems are made by fools like me,
in praise of better men, like "V".

*with apologies to Joyce Kilmer*

Very nicely put, sir. Why have I not linked you before? I am truly ashamed.

Also nice to see Air InTheBrain make an appearance and get shredded as usual.

So, you're Kim Crawford? Did I get it right? That's the name accredited to your Sullivan Hewitt nomination, anyway. Well, Ms. Crawford, I'm afraid I'm not compelled enough by your writing to either read an entire entry or engage you in any dialogue.

I see many of my limped-eyed adoring fans have stopped in here in order to praise my copious virtues along with your darling devotees.

For the record, I am brilliant, very physically attractive, and I have large supple breasts. I make an excellent cold meatloaf sandwich, drive a Mini Cooper and everything I say is right.

Delighted to make your acquaintance.

Now then, I invite all of you to trot directly over to my place. Wear some patchouli cologne and bring organic beer.

"It is a character issue, this filching. It is the prime personality trait of the Leftist. For, like their Soviet antecedents, it's all about the winning, never about the means to an end. Power is the goal, and any means is not only tolerated, but glorified."

And if you want a prime example of this, turn your eyes to the state of Illinois, where the lefties in the state legislature couldn't get their collective acts together to change state law in time to stop a corrupt governor from saddling the state with a U.S. Senator of clearly questionable judgment because they were afraid that if they held a special election, as the majority of the voters in this state wanted, they might just lose to a Republican. Mercy.

We're certainly getting what we paid for, Lord help us all.

Brillant!

Party at Erin's, everybody. But someone please explain Girth Vader to her before I show up.

Erin, you pusilanimous twit; Vman is a man, Kim being a classical mans name. But of course you know that- or you would, if you exercised that brain for something other than jumping to conclusions. You're right, Vman, it fair fisks itself.

Thank you, "and another thing."

And per the charming "og's" comment, I do apologize for the gender confusion, Mr. Crawford. Perhaps you should post a photo. To be fair, here's one of me.

damn vman. Girth Vader is bigger than her.

and purtier, too.

clearly smarter as well. Maybe sullivan will have a new category next year, for commenters who just dont fucking get it.

Good God! I just clicked and saw that woman's naked picture! Get the 409! Hell, Get the .410, as well!

Mockingbird, baby, just bring the champagne.

Awww come on ... she is kinda cute ... khaki in color, good back support, probably moves across the floor quite nicely.

OH DAMN!!! I was looking at the chair!!

Thank you, Guy. It is a marvelous chair. In fact, I'm seated upon it nude at this very moment, typing your name.
***Guy, Guy, Guy***

You idiots knock it off. Although Erin and I may disagree politically, she is a woman sending me naked pictures of herself.

And I must respect that.

Big props for using Sargasso Sea as a literary device!

sure, sure.

At two-decades younger debate is not forthcoming or rational - they have yet to mature - they're still just experimenting with everything as a kind of pre nap-time socialized/institutionalized Play-Doh. And eating paste - that explains their taste for tofu.

In that case, Mr. V, may I offer you a potato chip?

Thank you for that excellent post, V-man! Don't bother with any kegger in Cleveland. It's a liberal pesthole. Spend your hard earned boozedollars with real Americans.

Man... when a liberal tries to be funny it's just sort of... embarrassing. The good thing about being a conservative is we're too uptight and repressed to publish naked photos of ourselves (with our naughty parts hidden behind bags of potato chips -- are those free trade snacks in biodegradable bags printed with soy ink, young lady?) on our blogs. Or at least I am.

Fucking Cleveland. They should be grateful for anything we give them, short of hanging.

Excellent work, Velocidude.

Oh, and Erin? You're a piss poor excuse for a human being. Here's hoping you grow up someday.

I'm gonna go make some popcorn...It's fun just watching the cat-fight!

Erin is fun, well in a kinky, dirty hippy sort of way.

Erin needs to make me a sammich. No, scratch that. Our civilization hasn't created antibiotics powerful enough to deal with ingesting "food" created by that cretin.

Hey, is someone taking my name in vain?

Cut it out!

Now then, I invite all of you to trot directly over to my place. Wear some patchouli cologne and bring organic beer.

Well, I can scare up a bag of something aromatic and organic ... now where's my lighter?

Regarding 1960, the "Journal of American Studies" once had an interesting statistical piece on the Cook County vote. It seems the fraud was on behalf of the machine's candidate for State's Attorney (it worked), While there was some slopover, it was not enough to give Illinois to JFK. So he won the state without the fake votes.

Damn, now I can see the pic fullsize Airin sorta looks like "Stands with fist up her fundament". Played opposite "Changes with sameness" in that movie "Hopeychangey Goatscrew"

I thought she invited everyone over to her place and to bring some tree hugger shit and fucked up beer? Good God, she is loitering around here and won't go away. Sup with that? Get in that Mini Cooper and drive your ass somewhere and get a tan. Then send more pictures!

Another brilliant, lyrical post.

As someone who spent her earliest years raised by hard-working, dirt-poor, rural grandparents who never took a handout and then spent her tween/teen years with a single mother in section 8 housing, living on foodstamps and under the table drug money...I can tell you...you speak the truth.

Keep 'em down is the motto. Get a job? You're cut off completely! They are all or nothing. They do not merely discourage the initiative and motivation from the peasants, they seek to destroy it by making your every meal, every warm shower, the very roof over your head contingent upon following their every mandate. And...you'd better be damned grateful for it.

Now, having focused my later teen years through to my early thirties almost exclusively on a single aspiration: to never, ever, let the fuckers catch me in their noose, I look back to see that I am one of only a handful of folks from the 'hood who managed to escape.

We're talking third, perhaps, fourth generation for many who reside from whence I came.

Bad decisions, day after day after day, and always blaming the other guy for your own shortcomings will land you in the ugliest, cheapest lot of life. And, when you come crashing down, it's the Dems who will extend their hand to you...

and put you right back in your place.

My grandparents must be spinning in their graves for what has happened to the Democratic Party.

Brilliant, sir, as usual.
And this comment stream is better than Comedy Central!

Good morning adoring followers.* I have now read the post in full and offer the following important commentary:

vman, you just get better and better. that is true prosperity now, you take a completely depressing, loathesome, and sadly, pornographic subject and you turn it into wisdom packed entertainment. thanks, it is more than just fun to read.

I can't believe the audacity of you leaving it to us, supposedly, to explain girth vader to this woman. She's a narcissist, she was meant for you. If she can't tell she's being abused in these comments, just think of the perversions she would be capable of in the flesh. I think a personal invite to Helen is in order. I love when we have good entertainment!

Okay, that video is the clincher. Redneck, you're in Ohio. Give Erin a lift to Helen for Oktoberfest.

Give Erin a lift to Helen for Oktoberfest.

Oh, sure, like we've never had a dwarf circus performer at Blogtoberfest before.

Parallel is a good word, particularly because it goes with perpendicular. Both words go perfectly together despite being diametric opposites. Plus, they need one another--desperately. Both are award winning words because they sound like what they mean. Parallel even looks like what it means.

Crotch is an awful word. Dimple is a pretty good word. Shiver is an excellent word. But for this group, I think the best vocabulary word of the day would be clitoris.

Now Big Mean Ol' Erin here's gotta go write on her book. Iffin any of you sugartit babies are interested, go on and peruse some of my columns. Or if you'd like a longer read, there's this.

I've enjoyed this immensely. Now I offer a sincere thank you to our devastating host and I promise to be back soon. This place sure needed some Erin.

Erin, you are just plain nasty. No doubt with some itching and burning, of which, we are paying for in more ways than one.

Look here, upon this blog, and on this,
The counterfeit presentment of two bloggers.
See, what a grace is seated on this Velocibrow;
Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself;
An eye like Mars, to threaten and command;
A station like the herald Mercury
New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill;
A combination and a form indeed,
Where every god did seem to set his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man:
This is your Velocigod.

Look you now, what follows:
Here is Erin's blog; like a mildew'd ear,
Have you eyes?
Could you on this fair Velocimountain leave to feed,
And batten on Erin's moor? Ha! have you eyes?
You cannot call it writing.

Oh, the feckkin' eff'd up link is here.

That pic over at Erin's is actually a Caption contest, go and add your caption, I dare you, you are not afraid or skerred, are you?

Gee, I guess Joan won't be adding me to her Christmas card list.

Awright, all y'all. You can stop dissin' my friend Erin. Not only is she Hawt™, but she writes posts about Hungarian sliced cucumbers...and dildoes (not the same thing, by the way).

My friend Houston Steve and Denny, the Grouchy Old Cripple, are politically very different... but they get along just fine in person. As I am sure Erin and V-man would.

I'm thinking an emergency blogmeet in Savannah for St. Patrick's Day. Pure stinking debauchery. Urine flowing in the streets, dried puke plastered to our cheeks. Erin Go Bra-less could be a special guest blown-eye.

Well hell at least she isn't selling body parts to go to the ball, but someone else from her lovely town has some up for sale. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/01/08/ohio-woman-offers-ovary-for-inaugural-ball-ticket/
Well I don't think its Erin, might be wrong. Women do lie about age and such.

Thanks, Mr. Elisson.

: )

I am 43, JOG.

This may be the most persistent troll you ever had, Vman. I'm impressed. Not the dumbest, that's wolcott. Persistent, though. Gives me ideas. Have to think this one over. This kind of ongoing self righteousness in the face of baldface ignorance has to be useful in some way. Gimme a ring next week, I might even show at helen just to work out the details. I'll bring the chickens.

Well, if she can stand up (how can we tell?) to all the nonsense we blown-eyeds can throw at her, and remain as cheerfully determined to show nekkid pics of herself to middle-aged conservatives, I guess I'll retract the claws. She does seem fun.

So, Erin, no Xmas card from me since I don't send them out, but I'll stand you a pint at the next blogmeet.

I am the knower and the light.
I am the earth mother goddess
Amen, motherfuckers?

You are the knower of hope
Change is your constant mantra

You have no use for the facts
You'd look them up, but don't wanta.

if we felt you were worth our disdain
we'd provide it with unequalled glee

We really don't care what you're smoking
Just don't get that bullshit on me

Nobody with brain function believes
Obama will do aught but cluster

We know the failed formulas of Marx
Are all of the logic you muster

Excuse us if we tire of your presence
Yo have nothing new, here, to offer

We've toyed with you here for a while
We know that you're naught but a scoffer

At logic and reason wherever
it's used to derail leftist lies

Ellison may trust you with his friendship
but not someone who's looked in Kaa's eyes.

I don't care much for people who argue
that feelings are valid and good

I don't give a damn if you're naked
though you give other commenters wood

You can whine all you want about righties
We don't really care what you think.

We know that the things you espouse
are infantile, boring, and stink.

I hope that you're happy with failure
that's what you all chose to select

With a wingnut head holding the office
(nonexistent) of the President Elect.

Thank you for the poem, og.

You missed the point if you think being polite gets you any points with me.

If a boy writes a poem for girl, the least she can do is say thanks.

V got a dictionary and thesaurus for Christmas I see.

Sounds like to me a lot of right, anal retentive, people are upset because the country continues to run to the left. Let's face the right wing nut jobs that have run this country for the last 8 years, have screwed up our country and the world! Examples: Iraq and the economy. The country has been in a slow downward spiral since the days of Reagan and Bush 1. We had a brief glimpse of light in the nineties. God Bless President Obama!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a fucking thesaurus, Randy. Roget's downloads my brain once a year.

Mr. V.,

Looked up your Hewitt Award essay over at Sullivan's place as you suggested. Still see no identifying data other than your pseudonym. So, as best as I can tell, Ms. O'Brien is correct to call you a candy ass.
While I am one of your hated "Leftists" I have lived in Dixie all my life and am familiar with the values you alledge you embrace. Down here if a man walked up and called me a stupid liar I'd hit him in the mouth. He would then report me to the sheriff who would ask why I only hit him once.
So if you're the manly man you claim to be come on down to Tennessee and we'll have a good old fashioned American coming to Jesus. Perhaps that will satisfy your need for a meaningful debate with a liberal.

Randy, you stupid fuck. Sullivan repeatedly references me by name no less than 3 times. Once when he made the initial nomination, and twice when the voting started.

As for the lying part, the Leftist agenda is indeed build upon a pyramid of lies. Did I call you in particular a liar? I don't even fucking know you. You don't know me, either, but you insisted on calling me a candy ass.

So tell me what part of Tennessee you live in, and I'll be glad to come visit you so you can call me that to my face. I'm not a big anonymous threatener like you, so I won't tell you what my response will be in an effort to sound like a big bad ass. But you're apparently a tough guy. I'm sure you can handle whatever response I make. And let's leave the sheriff out of this. Unless you feel the need for some protection.

If the leftist are building a pyramid of lies. It, at least, is better than the pyramid of failure from the right.

Nate, so lying is better than failure? Left or right doesn't matter to me when I'm dealing with liars. Occasionally I (we) will fail, but not dishonestly.

Kim:

Let me know when you get the call and location from stupid fuck Randy. I'll swing by and snag shovel boy on the way. You bring the fish.

We do have our own private blown-eyed militia, kinda.

Dude, you were nominated for a Hewitt Award?

You must be very proud!

Dude, this bile is one of the primary reasons the conservative movement is in freefall. And Sully, a conservative himself, is one of the few righties to confront this fact.

You ought to spend time coming up with alternative SOLUTIONS instead of trying to be a KMART Ann Coulter, which is ultimately being a KMART conservative radio talk show host or Fox News commentator, which is ultimately KMART journalism.

But I suspect you and yours just preach to the converted anyway, so enjoy life in the cave!

Conservative?

The only thing Andi is committed to conserving is his heart-ache over not being able to appropriate a Church Sacrament that is weirdly sanctioned by a sovereign State. Next thing you know, Andi will want the State to Baptize him, too.

I love a comment thread that ends with people making offers to meet IRL. It makes it all so legitimate. Or something.

Seems to happen on gun-totin', Ayrab-fearin', welfare-hatin' blogs more often, too. Wonder why that is.

Belinda,

I never said the Left were the liars (I said "IF"), that was said by someone else. I was just proposing that the right, has also lied and failed so bad that our whole world is now in freefall (Bernie Madoff). If you still have money and a job, enjoy it. You will soon be in the minority or on the unemployment lines with the rest of us.

There are a lot of hardworking people, Republican and Democrat, who are now out of work. Why? So a group of uber rich can get richer. Doesn't anyone understand, that if the average person does not have money, then there will be no one to buy the products from the companies owned or controlled by the rich.

Isn't it time to stop this Left vs. Right BS and begin to work together to solve our problems. We disagree, but like the old song says: "Why can't we be friends?"

Nate

Hello.

My name is Erin O'Brien and I'm looking for my $350 billion dollars.

This Bush guy took it from me and gave it to this Paulson guy and he gave it to a bunch of guys who look just like he does and are really really rich.

At least, that's what I think happened, but no one really knows what happened to it.

I know no one want to listen to it, but the demise of Glass Steagall and that 2004 net capital rule change by the SEC* are two of the biggest baddest reasons behind this mess. Were there blue dots involved in both of those Hindenburgs? You bet. But they sure as hell didn't outnumber the red dots.

*Don't think I didn't have some respect for McCain when he called for Cox's head on a platter.

Now before y'all go yapping about Freddie and Fannie, be careful. Another house of cards is getting ready to fall--and it's constructed of all the moronic mortgages that went for uber-posh real estate.

This Bush guy took it from me and gave it to this Paulson guy and he gave it to a bunch of guys who look just like he does and are really really rich.

Gee, Erin, that's exactly why most conservatives, while admiring Bush's character, find him a very thin "conservative". He's compassion first, conservative when it suits the purpose.

Let us list the Democrats who argued so vehemently against these bailouts you seem to abhor:
.
.
.

Gurple!

Sorry. That last was Barney Frank choking on a big fat cock/all that Fannie-Freddie money he took while pretending to regulate them.

To be honest, if a bailout is/was the right thing to do, I am not against it. The Bush/Paulson bailout just struck me as nothing more than a gift of billions of dollars to people who already have billions of dollars. Maybe something will reveal it differently. Maybe history will see it differently.

But who cares about all of that, just say "big fat cock" again, baby.

Nate, of course we can be friends. My husband and I are not unemployed (currently), but have been in years gone by. Over 30 years we have worked hard for what we have, raised 2 fine, responsible children who are now adults, and have downsized everything in the last 4 yrs. I just see things differently, I guess. I never blame all the rich people who have more than I do or (supposedly) control all jobs and money. Sure, some is inherited, but for the most part, most rich people have created their own wealth. I've had the same opportuities as most, and I'm certainly not rich! But I could have always worked harder.
If you are unemployed, I wish you luck in finding a job. It is indeed a scary feeling and I have many friends and family in this same predicament.

Thanks Belinda. I don't blame anyone who has worked for what they have. It is the people who have gotten rich by standing on other people's backs.

Regarding sweet Erin O'Brien I quote Norbert the Narc in the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers edition A Year Passes Like Nothing With The...

"I sure dig those big-titted hippie chicks"

Hey Dis. Sch--Got Smoke?

No Darlin'. That's one thing you're still doin' that I gave up years ago. I can still laugh about it though.

Damn. Little miss earlymouth is still at it. Even dogs will give up eventually.

If y'all get her to Helen this year, I'm gonna be so upset. I'll probably be in a place ending in "stan" this year but would NOT want to miss it.

Video it.

Warn me. I'll try to make it to a phone to call in.

RSM, you're welcome to come to my beloved Shitcanistan any day of the week.

Having fielded an offline message about my previous comment, I apparently need to clarify my intentions.

That comment was meant to let RSM know that I saw his message. My reference to my "Shitcanistan" post was not intended as an insult to him or his service. I have nothing but respect for the armed services.

It was supposed to be a little joke at the expense of the confusing names of a bunch of countries. Sorry if it offended.

Just tidying up this thread.

One of John Cole's commenters put it pretty eloquently the other day in a discussion of how Obama would make soothing noises but run through the dishonestly labeled stimulus plan. I don't recall the exact phrasing but he counseled Cole's readers to chill out about 0 meeting with Republicans because it signified nothing; 0 would just keep jerking off the villagers long enough to keep them happy while the plan goes through.

The condescension, crudity, knowing dishonesty and cheerleading for a vile grand deception captures just about everything the left is about in that one little sentence.
