Wow. I wonder what Miss Moncrief’s “Road to Damascus” moment was?
Excellent question, Blake. Whenever this happens it’d be nice to have that very answer with the goal of repeating it with others.
It’s one reason I so enjoy Jeff’s tweaking of progressives as the controlling prudes that they are (don’t eat this, don’t buy that, don’t drive this, etc). It seems to me that should resonate with younger people if they have a healthy rebellious streak against the man and actually heard the message once in awhile.
OT: I just shared this by email but I sorta feel like sharing it here as well for the political angle.
That bird is smarter than many children and all progressives.
bh, Miss Moncrief did mention the problem of black babies being aborted at such a high rate.
I think from here on out, we should just call anyone who supports Planned Parenthood a racist.
… and an occasional mention of Margaret Sanger might be fun as well.
bh, if the GOP had any balls, they would ask their Democrat opponent if they support Planned Parenthood and then ask why they supports racists.
And then ignore the rending of garments, gnashing of teeth and wailing that would surely result.
Hitting Democrats with those issues would, more than likely, kill the race card and shut them up about Social Conservatives. Nothing kills an issue quicker than making the issue toxic.
It’s kind of hard to accuse social conservatives of being racist when the social conservatives are against abortion and the democrat supported abortions mills kill black babies at such a disproportionate rate.
Agreed, Blake.
I would get such a kick out of someone cutting state funding for “the planned reduction of black Americans.”
Thanks for the Green Heron footage, bh. I didn’t know them birdies were so clever. Where did he get the bread?
Given his big brain, I’m tempted to assume he grew the grain, milled it, baked it, put it through his mechanical bread slicer, and then decided to use a stale piece to go fishing on the weekend.
bh, I really don’t get the GOP.
Remember the old saying: “If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table.”
The GOP continues to fall for Democrats pounding the table.
Bh, he’s just like Henny Penny!
bh, according to our president “he didn’t build that, he had help from someone else.”
Or maybe that doesn’t apply to the animal kingdom.
Considering that rules seem to have different meanings on different days for the current administration, it’s kind of hard to know.
She was working for Project Vote (read: ACORN) in DC. She was a true believer in the cause. Not the actual cause, but what they claimed the cause was; enfranchising people, equality, etc… Then she saw what they actually were, which was dirty, dirty, dirty cheating motherfuckers who didn’t give a shit about anything or anyone save for grabbing power by any means necessary. Then Breitbart gave her a place to speak her piece so she turned on the bastards.
I’ve been drinking with her. She’s good people. We need more like that.
The internet has definitely made “it’s a small world” a much more real thing.
Sweet, Pablo. Question asked, question answered.
Here’s a two-part video of Ms. Moncrief at C-PAC (Part I, Part II) that tells about her time at ACORN and explains how she saw he light. It’s long but well worth watching.
I’m here to serve, bh. So, where’s the bourbon?
In my belly!
That should sound like a fat, baby-eating Scotsman from a movie.
Having just watched the clip. I apologize for my redundancy. On the bright side, I seem to have a good grasp of the obvious.
Why is a Scot drinking bourbon?
Ha!
I for one am grateful for your redundancy.
It keeps the neeps tatties and haggis down like a charrrrrrrrm laddie?
There’s nothing “peaty” about corn likker
—aged in charred white oak barrels or not!
It doesn’t need to be peaty if it’s schweeeeet! Hic.
OT, bh; here’s another bird-fishin’ video, featuring a more powerful bird.
If I wasn’t a Scotch man, I’d be able to mix it with you here. All the bourbon I’ve turned to urine hasn’t put a funny comment into my head by way of osmosis yet.
Which probably means I haven’t been trying hard enough. Let me get back to you.
Okay, I’m getting strong alcohol notes and maybe something like maple.
Yes. Enough more to take this Republic back to what was it’s original intent.
Damn. I haven’t had a drink all weekend. WTF?!
People need to click on serr8d’s link. Beautiful.
If you like your bourbon and your sweets, you need to try this.
Anybody make out the finch-like song in the background of the Osprey vid?
Upon further review… I don’t think I know what a finch sounds like.
Finches, but I’m leaning toward a Blue Grosbeak at this point, although the Ozzie vid song is higher pitched and faster as well.
I might be deafish. Maybe this part of my brain has palsy. Auditory apoplexy.
Stupid ear syndrome?
Maybe dicentra will help us out?
I used to live on a pond and fly fish almost every day. A green heron showed up right after I got back from a trip to Germany in the mid 90s, got dubbed Herr Heron imediately.
Every weekend morning, and during the week if the hours worked out, I would fish one are of the pond that was fairly shallow and all beaver chew downs. Great place to catch big bream or medium size bass on a popping bug.
After a week or so I noticed as soon as I started my pattern, Herr Heron would come swooping in and shadow me around the bank. Hung me up at first, then I realized the popping bug I was casting 3 or 4 feet from the bank was scaring the fry and chasing them into the edge of the pond where Herr Heron was feasting.
Green Herons rock. Little dude was my fishing buddy for a couple years.
I’m really not much of bird watcher but I do now feel a desire to watch this particular bird.
I love smart women. Excellent find, Ms. Click.
ospreys give the presbyterians something to talk about on the way to Luby’s
ACORN, AKA…….
bh, finches make a kind of a beeping noise. They don’t have a song that I know of.
Ms. MonCrief seems to drive certain leftoids nuts. Which, good.
Wow, this thread took off.
Thanks for the answer, Pablo.
