Greenblade -> RE: Are Hummer owners asshats? (9/24/2006 12:48:28 AM)

the bigger asshat is the blogger. no offense to his look-at-me-aren't-i-trendy blogging (we're all narcissistic on some level), but either of those vehicles still represent the core of Americana. Mileage and noise might not be ideal in a global, greater-good sense (loud harleys and gas-chugging hummers), but the fact is that this is America and George Washington et. al. still beat the brits back across the ocean and Honest Abe still beat the south back into the union and my father still has a closet full of medals and stars and the like from service, and as a result of these (and many other) better men, i still have the right to make choices. The irony of these united states is that once upon a time liberals (i.e., hippies) fought against the establishment for personal freedoms. Today, its the liberal side who would take from us our freedoms and force us to each live in a simple gray-painted box.
