I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
MAN
ON
DOG
He's really pulling it from has ass. More people go to church than to NASCAR? Please.
Miserable fat Belgian bastards!
My kid is over there right now and they have the most excellent beer in Germany and the best food in France. If that isn't something to live for I don't know what is...
Oh and Fuck Bush
REally, it's Santorum who has nothing to live for.
Hope he likes retirement.
The attacks on Rick Santorum are only because there is a co-ordinated smear effort coming from the Soros-funded fifth column media bias conglomerate. He is very popular with the people of Pennsylvania, and you hate that. Too bad, morals values will always win over immoral.
morals values
Man-On-Dog's values appear to be bribery, nepotism and lying. Where do the morals come in?
When we went to get our puppy in PA last year, NO ONE liked the santorum. Sorry LBBIII, you are wrong.
What a fucking idiot.
He would know culture if it came up and slapped him across the face.
Hmm, I wonder what church attendeeship would be like if NFL tickets were free and church cost $60/sermon?
Owls
I thought it was the Nowegians who were all suicidal. (bad joke - Then again, I married one.)
Yeah, they gots nothin to live for cuz they ain't waitin fer the Lord Jeebus to come back and nuke the scummy earth.
And what to we have to live for, pray tell? Long commutes in SUV's and 5 days of vacation a year?
Santorum is a festering boil on the ass of humanity.
Keep talking, libs. Keep showing the world how evil you are and how unfit you are to lead or govern. You lead our country down a path of evil, and we are leading it back.
What is killing us is a foreign Religion pushed on us in a modified form since 1967 and furthermore in a less deadly form since Roman times. And the culprit of this madness is the non-national enemy faught by Germany during WWII.
They are not victims of anything, they run our nations and dispense of rules and rights as they please.
George Bush is their drug induced puppet.
Santorum is a festering boil on the ass of humanity.
I object. The ass of humanity is a beautiful thing. Santorum is a festering boil on the ass of inhumanity.
Hmm, I wonder what church attendeeship would be like if NFL tickets were free and church cost $60/sermon?

Dead thread, but this is so fucking funny I have to leave a laugh.
The French and Germans are not Yids, and perhaps do not love Yids as much as 'Mericans are crazy for 'em.
That is the animosity.
Conservatives are absolutely insane, slightly more insane as the liberal Yid lover.
It's because they have nothing to live for that they bring home miscarried fetuses to talk to their kids. Oh, wait...
Dead Thread, but I had to stop by to say "Hi, you lying freak!" to Senator Santorum, who is no doubt reading this.
Hey Senator, did you use PAC funds to pay for your Dunkin' Donuts drive through coffee and crueller this morning, you sick, lying freak?
Gosh, sitting here with friends in a beautiful corner of England, sipping dry sherry, I can feel the imminent death of western Europe like the cold breath of the grim reaper. Or perhaps that's just the peppermint ice-cream.
He's right, you know. If you're not being raped by corporations, lied to by Republicans and having your children shot at and blown up so that Haliburton can fill its coffers, it's a hollow existence indeed.
(sigh) I feel such ennui...
His audience didn't look in rapt by his presentation. What's with that chin sinks into the shoulder thing he has?
Santorum lives for dog-sex fantasies. Even Belgians do not do that.
No joke.
The Scottish, however, may present a different tale indeed.
That was a joke.
Belgians strikes me as a people that would elect George Bush not twice but THREE times. Dumb jerks.
the accepted slur for Belgians is:
"miserable fat Beligan bastards."
I assume everyone recalls this from MP, but I had to say something.
fuck santorum and the dog he rode in on.
I know first-hand that at least Western Europe doesn't abandon its elderly like this country does.
Belgians are as happy as can be with their chocolate and beer (I'm sitting right next to a Belgian). Plus, if they ever get depressed, they can at least be happy that they aren't Dutch.
But all western countries are abandoning their youth that's for sure.
Quite frankly, going to the very heart of the matter fuck you if you are offended: the young generation don't heart jews and Israel enough.
He's absolutely right. Do you live over here Atrios ? No ? Then shut the fuck up.
Renato - 13000 dead elderly in the French heat wave. Cut the crap.
Sorry, but why is disparaging Belgium funny? Sounds a little wing-nutty to me.
So, to set the record straight...
"Belgium has possibly the highest "quality of life" in the world, as testified by its excellent food, housing, health care, education and infrastructure, its world records for high productivity and low poverty, and the appreciation of foreigners residing in Belgium." ... from Principia Cybernetica Web.
In fact, most travellers will tell you that the Belgians (and the Dutch) are the friendliest people in Europe. Belgium has welcomed refugees throughout its history. Both the Belgians and the Dutch also have a reverence for nature. They have been leaders in Europe in establishing secular governments. They were also leaders in establishing workers 'guilds', the fore-runners of unions (their guild halls are breathtaking). And they have fought bravely even though their peoples abhor war.
Not to mention their incredibly beautiful scenery...
.
Nothing to live for? Santorum is obviously unaware that the NFL established a European league years ago. The producers of 'Dog-The Bounty Hunter' are also currently in talks with European corporations to export a little culture into their respective hell holes.
What a worthless, dumb, ridiculous fuck this clown is. I don't even know what pisses me off so much about this comment, considering it's the always moronic Rick Santorum. And the thread is dead. But still, what a worthless, smug, piece of shit, dumbass, every fucking stupid ass fuckwit Christian in the history of the past 2,000 years. Rick, just go kill yourself, m'kay. You are officially the dumbest fuck this side of Ted the lunatic troll.
Belgians are damn happy -- to start with a Rick Santorum could never be elected here. Add to that an excellent universal health-care system, great food, kick-ass schools, five weeks of vacation, no poverty, and lots of topless women on the beaches in summer.
Yeah, people are happy here.
BTW, Atrios lived here so I think it was a bit of an inside joke.
I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my May vacation in the Alps and opting for a pilgramage to a snake handling church in Buttscum, Alabama, where Santorum is idolized.
The static to falling native populations of Europe do in fact present a very important set of questions both historical and philosophical. Modernism and secularism almost certainly are the driving factor. I should note that modernism and secularism are two sides of the same coin.
Fundamentalists of all stripes are at war with modernism, and thus secularism.
As we all know the right hates Western Europeans for a variety of reasons which might be summarized by the idea that they are whites gone bad. Nothing elicits the hate of true believers more than the presence of apostates among the chosen group.
This meme of dying white Europe has threads which touch most of the issues which fundamentalists obsess. Rick didn't mention that white American population growth is barely positive which in turns brings us around to the influx of brown people to America. The demographics are not in dispute. By mid centruy whites will be a minority here. That is probably the single most important thing you must know when understanding every single political cause and policy supported by conservatives. Not only social conservatives but the economic ones as well.
White people, by definition among conservatives, the Chosen people, are dying out. Against that nothing is too extreme.
De Ronde Van Vlaanderen! That's plently to live for!
yea, we Belgians are a sour lot
Actually Western Europe is a paradise compared to living in the US. How can you beat healthcare, pensions, wonderful free education, public transporation, job security, 9 week vacations, no wingnuts?
I know you were joking about the Belgians, but I've visited a number of times, stayed with a Belgian friend, and they have the best beer in the world, some of the best food, great state-provided combined child care/preschool so my friend and his wife can both have demanding careers despite having three young kids. And nearly everyone is trilingual at least (as my friend says, Belgians have to be able to say "please don't shoot me" in the languages of all the countries that might invade them).
It is gray and drizzly a lot, though.
That joke is not funny. It is rude to ignore the fact that the Luxembourgeois have nothing to live for either.
This coming from the man(?) who no longer lives in the state he supposedly represents in the Senate.
rapier I doubt your conclusions because conservatives already have a different chosen people and they ain't "whites".
Conservatives just want to make sure there are a enough jewdupes around for protection and pre-emptive strikes against the "anti-semites".
Nothing about the Christian religion is "white" these days; it originated with jews, sure, it spent a large deal entwined with Europe, but now has shifted back to "god's chosen people", and is only used to their ends. It is best to let it fall over a BIOLOGICAL issue that Europeankind are dying.
Fundies are after more troops to fight for Israel, nothing more. And you are right, America is in the same camp of pathetic birth rates as Europe. Conservatives are religious nuts first, Animals in a darwinistic warzone last.
Swedes, Finns, and Norskies who don't ski await the spring with long baited breaths. On the other hand, they don't worry about health care or pensions.
Dr. Evil is from Belgium.
If Santorum wants to see 'nothing left to lose' he could do a quick fly over of NOLA. ASSHOLE
Wingnuts hate Western Europe because Western Europeans represent the living, breathing counter-example to the "Everybody wants to be American/ Everybody envies America" assumption that they hold so dear.
You have obviously never had Belgian beer.
According to Paul Fussell in _Class_, Belgium is the most middle-class place in the entire world.
The Belgians also have the dubious distinction of being by far the cruelest of the African colonialists. I suspect that those Belgian peacekeepers who were turned into diced pineapple meat in Rwanda might have lived had they been from any other country. Instead, they paid the ultimate price for being from the land of King Leopold.
Belgian Beer sucks. It's true.
But the Moules et Frites are awesome.
tradeoff I s'pose
Oh I love me some Lindemans Belgian lambic ale.
I dunno I live in Ireland, so I guess that's Western Europe, and I don't feel that I've nothing to live for. So far. I don't have a president that has been caught out lying about something as serious as war and gets away with it. I have a good quality of life and don't think my country is going into bankruptcy which I would do if I were an US citizen. I quite like my life in actual fact and feel that I've plenty to live for not least the hope that I will live to see G Bush and his cohorts and partners in crime against humanity and crime against US citizens being brought to justice. Well we can all live in hope I guess!
Any time we find that "what is worth living for" is defined by America's premier asshat, assclown, frothy mixture of lube and feces and most likely U.S. Senator to traumatize his children with a dead baby, then I, and, I trust, billions of other people on this planet will of course choose precisely the opposite.
Fuckhead Santorum is another of many individuals who if they were to tell me the sun rises in the East would find me up the next morning to see if in fact it did.
I really hope that the psychotic shit he says, as represented by that incredibly stupid remark, gets play wide and deep in the state of PA. I want to see that fucking bastard go down hard in the mid-terms.
I hate that SOB. I would gladly serve time if I could spit in his face in public.
Now, folks, that would be something to live for....
BTW, if the above makes me sound common as dirt, well, I can't help it if I'm not Belgian 
The goal, as I remember it being at one time, was to learn to live together and now the goal has become to compete and remove anything or one that seems to disagree with an unbridled push to use other peoples for your advancement. .... isnt that something, we'd struggle to offer our very lousiest into heaven. Free trade agreements, one party domination, Silverado Savings and Loan, looting of K-mart corp., only mean one thing for the citizens of this country .... you can forget about security of any type. Health, human services, retirement, cover from the "bad guys" or even natural disasters. The Bush administration and the neo-convicts say all those are now a marketable commodity. "We'll sell ya some if you can meet the price",(wanna buy some wood?) seems to be what they're saying in addition to shaming and thwarting our attempts to work toward systems that do ensure our security as citizens of america's neighborhoods, and our longevity as a "human" species. Santorum seems to be saying that europe is dying and unless we want to too, we'd better get to his church and begin working for his re-election.
Four Belgian pleasures that make Belgians and the rest of the world happy: 1.Waffles. 2. Pomme Frites. 3.Chocolate. 4. Delirum Nocturnum brand of beer. Cherry on the sundae: couple hours trek to Amsterdam for...uh, I forget...oh yeah! Fresh Heinekin on tap!
That's not lying, it's insanity.
As a European I resent being used by Santorum and to serve his domestic search for power. Eat some Nietzsche, Mr Santorum.
drop the 'and' in the sentence:
"being used by Santorum to serve"
"Belgian Beer sucks. It's true."
No, it is not. Have you tried all 350 of them?
I've been living on a dying continent all my life? Thank goodness some cornpone hick from PA pointed that out for me or I might not have noticed.
I don't know, most of them seem quite happy to me, except maybe the Belgians (joke).
Anthony Powell's memoirs of WWII, Faces in my Time, says, of the Belgian military attache in London, that "(Major Kronacker) told me that, when woken in a wagon-lit by the sound of a fearsome row going on on the next compartment, he knew he was back in his beloved country."
The Belgians are depicted as being quite quarrelsome due to the division between Flemings and Walloons (Powell refers to "inciting antagonisms" as "at best a chronic Belgian problem." Later on 30,000 Belgian troops/resistance fighters had to be transferred to Britain for military training to prevent Field-Marshall Montgomery from "shooting them up" if they made trouble, as he threatened he would do to Kronacker (due to the young men living for 4 and a half years under the Nazis without seeing much action if any).
Powell also tells a joke that three men, a Belgian, a Frenchman, and an Englishman, watch a woman ride by on a horse. The Frenchman says "What a beautiful woman." The Englishman says "What a beautiful horse." The Belgian says "I wonder what she was nee".
Does any of this still ring true?
(Sorry, I don't know how to accent the final e, Frenchwise. And Lindeman's Kriek - first beer I ever enjoyed.)
