Sing along if you know the tune...
Edited on Sun May-11-08 11:11 AM by derby378
I'll tell you of Sarah Brady's toil
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
To see that gun-toting thugs were foiled
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
But Sarah's alchemy turned instead
And changed our Congress from blue to red
A pox on our ungrateful heads
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

Chorus
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
So we say hip-hooray
God bless Sarah, so we pray
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day


Now we've been naughty girls and boys
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
For rifles black are dangerous toys
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
In 2004 on Capitol Hill
The semi-auto ban was killed
And the Million Moms, they cried their fill
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
So we say hip-hooray
The Million Moms will have their say
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day


But Carolyn McCarthy's coming through
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
With H.R. Ten and Twenty-two
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
Her law will lift us from the slime
And purge our streets of violent crime
And send us to Hell in our own good time
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
So we say hip-hooray
Carolyn's come to save the day
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day


Think of the time that's coming fast
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
When the Second Amendment's gone at last
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
Then we shall all be civilized
And by our government brutalized...
Oh, won't Paul Helmke be surprised?
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
So we say hip-hooray
Come and take our rights away
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

1. Verse Five...
Edited on Sun May-11-08 02:49 PM by east texas lib
Now once we take your guns from you
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
We'll take your knives and slingshots too
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
It's all done for safety's sake
Now it's not your choice to make
It's just your will that we must break
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day
So we say hip-hooray
Now you all must do as we say
Whack fol the diddle o the die doh day

;-)

2. hmm

When the Second Amendment's gone at last
Then we shall all be civilized
And by our government brutalized...



The opening song at breakfast ceremonies in the loony bin, is it then?

3. Mature, AND intelligent!
"And the Million Moms, they cried their fill". According to Michael Moore's movie "Bowling for Columbine" about 11,000 people die from guns a year. That's about 90 moms for every person killed! Whew, that's a lot of moms! It sure is a good thing our laws are based on what "mommies" think is safe! "Ok, mom, I'm heading over to the supermarket to pick up some groceries so I can make some dinner for myself tonight! What's that, mom? My jacket and helmet? Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me it's illegal to go out on a cold day without a jacket on, and it's illegal to drive a car now without wearing a helmet-because cars are always accidents about to happen. Don't worry, I won't break the 35 m.p.h. federal speed limit. Gee, it sure is great we all have to live a "rated PG" life so there's never any kind of conflict or tragedy!"

4. and yet not


According to Michael Moore's movie "Bowling for Columbine" about 11,000 people die from guns a year.

Really? Is Moore as much of a dunderhead as some people so often portray him as?

He, or you, might be referring to the 10,000 or so people who die from firearms HOMICIDE a year in the US.

That isn't quite the same as people who "die from guns" in a year.


That's about 90 moms for every person killed!

So no, it isn't, is it?

And nobody would want to spare a moment's thought for anybody who was injured, intimidated or criminally victimized (e.g. robbed) by a person using a firearm, I'm sure. Or their mum.

But gee, it sure is great to see yet another expression of the deep respect contempt in which posters in this forum hold women.

5. Criticism=Contempt?
Fine, you want to quibble over semantics? I happen to like Michael Moore. But, as usual, in your open-minded brilliance you just automatically assume that by quoting him I'm knocking him. 30,000 deaths from guns a year. 40% percent of those are men over the age of 40 committing suicide(we'll get rid of all guns so when people commit suicide in any number of other ways you'll feel all warm and fuzzy about it). We'll include those in there still just to keep you happy. That still works out to 33 moms per victim. There, you happy now? Because I resent the fact that people actually think it's Ok for worried mothers to govern my life, I have a deep contempt for women? Really?! This just further proves that you have built in bias' ready to knee-jerk at the drop of a hat. Why am I even answering your post?! This is like trying to argue with Jerry Falwell...
