Welcome to Barney F. McClelland's Blog. This site was named after George Orwell's column "As I Please" during the Second World War. During that time, he critiqued many of the follies of his time with wit, precision and plain old common sense.I hope to do the same regarding the fashionable nonsense of our day.
"A certain degree of truthfulness was possible so long as it was admitted that a fact may be true even if you don't like it. "
- George Orwell
It gives to new meaning to the term “coyote date”. You know, the date where you wake up in the morning and would rather gnaw your arm off than wake her (or him).

Is this for real? Onery, adolescent obnoxiousness... yeah, I guess that does fit their pattern.
Regretfully, it is all too true. You can reach them at Republicanpeoplemeet.com
Also, notice the use of the lower case "d" in democrat. Have Republicans become utterly contemptuous of those who believe in a democratic political system?
Short answer - yes.
Slightly longer answer - yes, and they're manipulating language; the most egregious examples is the use of "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party." With that, the DP is not about Democratic ideals and goals, but instead is about Democrats, who are evil to the GOP.

Another thought - why are good moral Christian folks like those who claim to populate the GOP looking for one-night stands ("waking up next to...") and sex outside of marriage?
WF
That was exactly my thought on the matter.
