THH

Ok, so yesterday my wife read this blog. She was not aware of why I started it. So I explained it was in opposition to a colleague of mine who is more liberal than I am. She also asked if there was anything on here about "Tree Hugging Hippies" THH for short. Because she knows well how much I love THH's. I thougt to myself why no, no there isn't. So here it is. Now not all the points are aimed at each and every THH because I don't believe they can be all lumped together.

Dear THH

Please see below my opinions on some issues.

1. PETA - you suck. Do you not have anything better to do? I don't believe in beating the crap out of my dog or anything. But I do believe that it is perfectly ok to hunt and fish. It's called population control. That is why there are limits to how many deer, duck, fish, etc. you can shoot or catch per day.
2. I see no problem driving a big truck or SUV. If you can afford the gas then you should be able to drive whatever you want. If you bring up the point of "global warming" like I know you will, then I would say look back in the geologic records of the past 4 billion years. There are always periods of global cooling (ice ages) and global warming. It is a cycle. So ladies, go ahead and keep using that aerosol hair spray.
3. You don't like the war, fine, that is your opinion. However, don't give the enemy any propaganda that can be used against our troops.
4. Freedom in the US is great. If we are so bad you have the Freedom to get the hell out. Try France.
5. A good ass whooping never hurt anyone. If your kid acts up, smack them. They will learn what they did was wrong. Sitting in time out is a joke. Then the kid learns that no matter what they do the worst thing is they will have to be in "time out". Wow !!! Scary !!!
6. A year or so ago some THH's said that teachers should not write grades in the color red as it might offend some students. GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK !!!!! Are you flippin' serious. An "A" is an "A" and a "F" is a "F" no matter what color you write it in. If you got a "F" you better study harder next time.

That is all for now. I am sure that I will have more later. IF this offends you then go read something somewhere else.

Im glad that the distinction is made about more liberal, and that just because someone is considered liberal in one or 2 issues, doesnt make him a THH.

1.I dont even know who PETA is, suppose they are animal rights guys. you can have that one.
2. my little golf gets filled up once a month..
3. dont like the war. and no matter what I say can be used as propaganda by the enemy. Our troops deserve better. Ending the war is my objective, would have been a hippy in the 60s just to protest that war...another wrong war..
4. Nothing more American than being a rebel. Nothing more patriotic that telling the truth when your government is wrong. Its built into the Declararation of Independence and the Constitution:people need protection by the tendency of all governments to be oppressive and corrupt. I have the freedom to stay and complain as well. And France aint that bad, half of your language is French. They have a lot to offer in our history,culture and philosophy..
5 dont have kids that i know of.. you can have that..
6.ditto

You have all the right to stay and voice your opinion. You have the right to burn the flag even. I was speaking mainly to those Cindy followers. I am talking to those who would even fly over to the country that the war is in and hang out with the enemy. I think that has happened in a prvious engagement, hasn't it?

I have no desire to learn about any French culture or philosophy.

hang on, nobody said anything bout burnin flags.
Just because Im against the war, opposed to this president, doesnt mean Im a THH or antipatriotic.

In other engagements when another unjust war was waged, people chose extreme protests. Its all the same.

If you wanted to study ANY philosophy or culture(using English) you would have to bow to French which contributes to almost half of the words you speak. the French arent the enemy...never have been

Never said or meant that you are unpatriotic. What I was saying is you have the right to stay and say whatever you want. As some things I believe you should not do like burn the flag or go over and hang out with the enemy, you still have that right. I do not believe that extreme protest are good for the morale of the troops. However they seem to be good for the morale of the of the enemy.

As far as most of the words we speak I believe they came from Latin.
But if you really get down to hit most of the words we speak (at lease here in Texas) is southern slang or as I like to say "redneck".

alright fair enough, burning the flag is a vulgar thing to do, but I would defend someones right to do it.
Increasing the morale of the enemy is a bad thing too, but in this case, we have manufactured the enemy, we have no enemy that we didnt create, so its a moot point.
Just finished a book on the history of English, found some really interesting things:
that Latin was influential but that French was so key to the language, we wouldnt be speaking as we are now if it wasnt for the froggies.
also found that the idea of hating the French for everything started 1000 years ago, its nothing new.
