FL 87 is saying he is agreeing with what some dude is saying regarding the current movement that is seemingly prevalent in our country.


At no point would a rational human being jump to the conclusion that by agreeing with this brief paragraph that the OP would want to slobber all over the dude's knob regarding every other subject in the ultraverse.

Re: I guess I did - could you please recreate, in exacting


Oct 28, 2022, 10:58 AM

The day is May 18, a Wednesday. The time is 2:44PM. Elon, knowing a looming sex scandal is about to break, logs onto his twitter account and posts: "In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold …"

Around this time, Lightbulbbill is checking his AOL account when he gets a news alert forwarded to him by his buddy from the Lodge. There is an excitable message from his friend to read the alert, which highlights Musk's announcement from a few minutes ago. Bill let's rip a "YEEE HAW," grabs his walker, and bolts (as much as one can at such an advanced age) to the kitchen where he nearly rips the rotary phone off the wall grabbing the receiver.

Bill yells for the operator. "Hello?! Pretty lady! I need to connect!" *Silence* He tries again, even louder and more desperate. "PRETTY PHONE LADY! I NEED YOU! THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE! CONNECT ME TO THE PARTY LINE!" *Silence again* "WHERE ARE YOU PRETTY PHONE LADY?!" Bill shouts, then remembers it wasn't the 1920s and he must dial himself. He checks the piece of paper next to the phone, and feverishly dials the secret party line for Lunge Republicans.

Keowee answers, "This is Theodore Hampton Fitzwater IV." Bill shouts back, "T-HAM! IT'S HAPPENING! ALERT THE OTHERS!" One by one, more voices start joining the line, as Bill relays the news. "IS NC_TIGER_ ON?! WE MUST START THE CEREMONY!" From the cacophony of adult male voices that is quickly resembling a line of teen girls standing outside of a BTS concert, came a deep rumbling voice. "I am here," it said. A hush immediate fell over the phone line. "Does everyone have their bird mask?" A mix of "indeeds" and "I dos" replied. "Then let's begin --" NC_Tiger_ said, quickly adding. "-- dry; our pain will be our offering to this great Republican."

Slowly from the silence sounds of skin slapping rises; followed by grunts and soft moans as the ceremony escalates. A few minutes later, one by one the masked participants whisper "Finished" over the line, until finally NC_Tiger_ shouts in a high pitched scream, "ELLLLOONNNNNN!!!!" and everybody knew the ceremony was complete.

An out of breath NC_Tiger_ concluded the call by saying, "From this day forward, Elon is one of us. We must protect him. Defend him. Love him. Obey him. For he said, he will 'vote Republican,' thus nothing matters any longer even though we don't extent the same wide ideological berth to literally anyone else on the planet. He suffers as we suffer at the hands of the lamestream media. He hates as we hate the woke groomers in Big Tech. And he loves and we love free speech so long as it isn't critical of us. He is, one of us."

Then there was like four hours of chanting "Gooble Gobble One of Us!" and it got real boring.

Oct 27, 2022, 4:50 PM

Seriously? How is this a problem for anyone anywhere? Did the cops even care? Stories like this get blown up in order to rile up the window lickers. And it works. Clearly.

For the record, you can throw anyone outta your restaurant for any reason EXCEPT race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Don't like it? Then I guess you must really hate freedom!

But it does say, "Dining with friends and family imposes a moral and tactical obligation to prepare for their safety, as well as that of the target officer." It's hard to understand what any of that has to do with a restaurant who doesn't want to serve a cop, but it does sound paranoid AF. "Even the classic back-to-the-wall position does not guarantee quick access to a sidearm and a tenable shooting position." If nothing else, you must always be in a tenable shooting position!

What does any of this have to do with being "woke"?


Oct 27, 2022, 7:20 PM

Businesses can't refuse service based on sexual orientation. Businesses can refuse service based on someone being a cop. That's the law. Be on the side of law and order.

I think you're frustrated because your political opinions are out of step with what's becoming mainstream and rather than think inwards and reconsider your perspective, you decide that the problem is with everyone else.

The people who are most inclined to feel politically persecuted are the same people who can't shut up about politics. They're also not used to being challenged, which angers them and leads them to seek refuge in safe spaces with like-minded people.

Also, people shouldn't twist their religion and the First Amendment to justify bigotry. The "woke" folk don't make excuses like that when they refuse service to cops.

It's like saying a source is biased as a tactic to end discussion. "Oh, well they're just biased." Say no more! We know that's bad. Case closed!

The term "woke" came from the black community and is associated with social justice. Anything perceived as too liberal can be dubbed "woke" or "socialism" and a certain segment of our population will nod along happily without considering whether or not it makes sense.

the one that follows is foolish, naive, reckless, and full of themselves, and as we grow older, it's true that we generally get more and more resistant to change. No debating that.
