Boy Tries Chinaco
Fine tequila,
politics and God
Hey Bart,
Since I am one of very few Nebraskans who actually
thinks for himself,
I make a point of reading Bartcop.com to keep
up on certain items
I would never see in the mainstream media.
As such, here are my comments for you:
1. Chinaco Anejo
I tried Chinaco Anejo for
the first time tonight.
Smooth? Yes.
But you should warn your typical
reader: This ain't no regular drink. This is a sippin' drink.
If you don't have an hour
to spend sippin' this drink, then don't get one. You won't do it
justice to drink it in 15
minutes or so. This is a drink to have at home when you have plenty of
time.
It's not proper for a restaurant.
2. Liberals
While drinking my Chinaco at the
Sunset Grille in White Plains, NY, I realized the difference
between typical liberals (aka,
NOT nut-job liberals) and typical conservatives.
Specifically, as I sat there
enjoying my Chinaco, following a rather tasty shredded beef enchilada,
I thought to myself, "Holy crap.
How good do I have it?" And it's true.
Compared to so many unfortunate
people in the world, I have it good.
The typical conservative, on the
other hand, thinks he/she DESERVES what he/she has.
Most of the people I associate
with are just as fortunate as myself. But the conservatives among them
don't seem to acknowledge
that maybe they didn't get what they have because they are so f-ing brilliant.
I look back at my life
and realize that without good parents I would not be where I am today.
I think a lot of conservatives
give some good lip service to "thanking their parents", but at the end
of the day
they will never acknowledge
that other people are in a bad place simply because of the situation under
which they grew up.
3. And What About That Supposed Brilliance?
Let's give those cocky conservatives
a pass and just assume they are as brilliant as they think they are.
So what? Just because you
were lucky enough to be born with above average intellect does that mean
you should act like a douche?
I'd think it's exactly the opposite: If you're so damn smart, you should
realize that treating "stupid"
people like crap is rather pathetic.
4. Republicans
It's all marketing. This is
the only way for such an incompetent party to have led the country so poorly
and to still have a shot at
anything: brilliant marketing. This is the best place to rebut the typical
conservative's assertion of
brilliance: If they were so damn brilliant they would not have fallen
for this shit (GWB) for 6 years
straight.
5. God
Yes, it's clear that you don't believe
in God. That's fine with me. But I'd like to point out to atheists
that there are a lot of liberals
who actually believe in God. Sorry, but it's true. I don't believe in the
God of the Bible, but I know there
is a God.
Sorry if you think I'm nuts. But
I have my reasons.
All I can say is: GWB is the WPE.
And, yes, I will be sending a donation to get
some shirts.
Slapper in Nebraska
1. Yes, Chinaco Anejo should be sipped in the
tiniest doses possible.
When I was a kid, I had a chemistry set
and it had a tool that would be perfect.
It was a long, smooth, round, solid glass
"straw" that allowed you to put one drop
of a liquid on, say, the microscope. That
would be perfect for sipping fine tequila,
especially if the shot was a very expensive
shot, like we might share in Vegas.
2. True. Being born in America is like being born
in the richest family in town.
Billions of people have nothing.
3. Supposed brilliance is just arrogance. They
think, "I got mine thru hard work,"
as if Der Monkey ever did a day's work
in his entire life.
4. Republicans have successfully sold the idea
that the poor and middle class will
be better off if the super-rich get a
second mansion in Scottsdale - and the brain-dead
Democrats are unable to counter that silly-ass
point of view so people vote for "tax cuts"
that only increase their tax burden. If
I ran the DNC, every voter in America would hear
why they should vote democrat if they want
a better life.
5. We disagree. As a man of logic, *I* can't guarantee
you that there is no God.
But those with "faith" can and will
guarantee that there certainly is a God,
probably because they have "heard" his
voice, which sounds crazy to me.
Thanks for the note, we agree on that which
can be measured.
