Now I know this is hard and it may take you a few days to absorb all those definitions.. but I would like you to pay close attention to numbers 4-8 and explain to me how Hitler was a liberal.... Now I would like you to read number 4 again.. and again, and again...
Now I understand that that bastard Webster was probably some pinko liberal in disguise and he probably fudged the definitions back in the day because he just knew you lovely people were going to try to call Hitler, Mao, and Stalin Liberals, but you do realize that the definition I just posted is the understood definition around the world. Right? Because I have to assume that you just love to wallow in the fact that you are an international joke. I know you don't care what any non-American, hell, what any non whites think of you, but really you are just embarrassing yourselves as usual. Don't you ever get tired of looking like and sounding like fools? Wouldn't it be smarter to learn how to read and write and look words up in the dictionary? You might actually get someone to give your opinions an ounce of credibility if you demonstrated an understanding of the english language that you so want to make the official language of America.
Bill Hicks: I was in a diner reading a book and having some lunch when the waitress came up to me and asked "Watcha reading for". Not "watcha reading" but "watcha reading for." :rofl:
