dog·ger·el (dôgr-l, dgr-) also dog·grel (dôgrl, dg-)
*n*
*Crudely or irregularly fashioned verse*, often of a humorous or burlesque nature.
Keep your day job, in other words.
As to historical accuracy, the intra-states war known by the misnomer as the "Civil War" was not waged to "set the slaves free." From the architect of that war, in a letter to Horace Greeley:
"I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was.' If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I don't believe it would help to save the Union."
Sure, slavery was abolished in the aftermath of That War (in the South first, and later the North, ironically), but Lincoln's principal aim was the preservation of the Union, not the abolition of slavery. |

1dog·ger·el
Pronunciation: \'do?-g(?-)r?l, 'dä-\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English dogerel, probably diminutive of dogge dog
Date: 14th century
: loosely styled and irregular in measure especially for burlesque or comic effect ; also : marked by triviality or inferiority
The meter ans rhyme are proper, It may not be great literature, but I assure you that there was not intent at comedy. Since you place so much stock in. (I'll let you fill in the blank) I just thought you might enjoy the exact meaning of you insult. As to historical accuracy, could you be more specific. If I am to be castigated for my expressions on the meaning of the cost of freedom, I would appreciate it if my critics would use something more than vague slurs. |

"In the civil war we set the slaves free
In the world wars it was Europe’s turn
American men died so freedom could be bought
And put an end to social slavery
“Give me Liberty or give me death”, LEARN!"
God that's pitiful doggerel. And even worse history. |

Snap, crackle, pop we celebrate the fourth
Taxes were too high; we said ‘It must stop’
But the Brits were greedy, the king’s a prop
And we fought his highness for all our worth
Blood flowed in the streets, seeped into the earth
The Red Coats with their thousands of troops
Guns to fight them came from the blacksmith shop
From the greedy tyranny came our birth
In 1776 we fought
In the civil war we set the slaves free
In the world wars it was Europe’s turn
American men died so freedom could be bought
And put an end to social slavery
“Give me Liberty or give me death”, LEARN! |

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"
And yet, as I am listening to fireworks, likely fired by people who don't care about the Consitution, I am tempted to follow those words. |

I sure wouldn't change a thing, like I always say once you have had the best why look for the second best.

Yah, you got that right. Why would we change when we got it right the first time? |

Lincoln: "I voted for the principles of the American revolution before I voted against them." |
|
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. . . .
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." (Thomas Jefferson, 1776)
"Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right--a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can may revolutionize and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit." (Abraham Lincoln, 1848 – Before he changed his mind.) |

Ever notice how the process is backwards? When we were growing up...it was:
1) Meet a girl or was introduced to a girl.
2) Met the parents
3) Date a girl
4) Get engaged
5) Get married (then moved in together)
6) Had kids
7) Grew old together.
Now:
1) Have a kid
2) Live together
2) Date
3) Get married (maybe)
5) 5 years get divorced
and then do this 2 or 3 more times....LOL
Sh !t, we be gettin old brother! LOL |

Here's hoping and praying that one day soon you will learn to apply the principles of our revolution consistently. Because right now, most of you have absolutely no clue:

I agree, now it is so easy to fall in bed, then get married, then find out your not in love, then move on and repeat. |

I'm right behind you, 39 years in November Mrs. Big Sky and me.

Monumental today. In today's 5 min society, couples being together for 5 years is like a miracle.
The times have past us by. Don't think we'll ever see them again. Holding chairs, opening doors...those times are gone, I fear.
Have a Happy 4th and play nice. LOL

The Constitution and Ronna is right. We may have the Bill of Rights on paper but it is no longer we abided by the CROOKS in Washington. We the People, not the Crooks who steal from us, will have to enforce Our Rights are we will lose them FOREVER! |

What's with the Hey Hey? Are you saying men are not pigs? Proove it!

is antithetical to what they hold dear. In other words, they live in a country that they supremely detest. For the last 45 years, they have set a course to completely destroy the institutions and traditions that have made this country the envy of the world. Anyone who does not subscribe to their ideology, is immediately, branded as a right wing extremist. In other words, the Founders are "right wing extremists, and their guiding principals are "right wing" and extreme. So you see, today as ordinary red blooded Americans are filled with pride and thanksgiving, because they live in a country whose foundations are liberty and freedom, they on the other hand, wring their hands of that notion, and scoff at the idea of American exceptionalism and of her greatness. So, happy Fourth of July, all you leftists out there, and may you choke on the liberty and freedom you so hate. And may Barack Hussein Obama choke on it, TOO. |

today.
Then ask yourselves if our freedoms are still intact. Ask yourselves if you're willing to allow more and more of your freedoms to be stolen on a daily basis by the Communist-minded, liberal scum in Washington led by a man who may not even be legal, much less eligible to be President in the first place. |

This is still the greatest country in the history of the world, and birthday number 233 will be celebrated at the o'furniture household in typical conservative fashion: watching a little baseball, making the traditional trip to the shooting range where targets bearing the images of Obama, Hillary and Barbra Streisand are complimentary, stopping by the Tea Party on the way home to talk a little treason with like-minded patriots, then burgers and dogs on the grill. Then on to the entertainment: we will take turns waterboarding lefty phaggots, with prizes for the most creative whine, or interesting fictional intel obtained (the kids love this). The winning lefty gets a roman candle up his rectal cavity, which they always seem to enjoy....until it's lit.
Then the tradtional fireworks display....and so the evening ends.
I love 4th of July....always have....God Bless America....! |

Further proof that men are pigs. My best friends are men, and they regularly admit to being pigs.

In celebration of the 4th of July, I offer this defense of our greatest founding father, Thomas Jefferson. I feel Mr. Jefferson’s reputation has been unfairly eviscerated by a misrepresentation of the DNA results in the Hemings controversy. The “Sally” story is pure fiction, possibly politics, but certainly not historical fact or science. My new book, IN DEFENSE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON (Thomas Dunne Books, 2009), definitively destroys this myth, separating revisionist ideology from accuracy:
• Randolph Jefferson, his younger brother, would have the identical Jefferson Y chromosome as his older brother, Thomas, that matched the DNA. Randolph had a reputation for socializing with Jefferson's slaves and was expected at Monticello approximately nine months before the birth of Eston Hemings, Sally’s son who was the DNA match for a “male Jefferson.”
• The DNA match was to a male son of Sally’s. Randolph had six male sons. Thomas Jefferson had all female children with his beloved wife, Martha, except for a male who died in infancy.
• Until 1976, the oral history of Eston’s family held that they descended from a Jefferson "uncle." Randolph was known at Monticello as "Uncle Randolph."
• Unlike his brother, by taste and training Jefferson was raised as the perfect Virginia gentleman, a man of refinement and intellect. The personality of the man who figures in the Hemings soap opera cannot be attributed to the known nature of Jefferson, and would be preposterously out of character for him.

I'm headed out to a 4th of July Tea Party rally to show all passers-by that there are patriots locally which care about the direction our country is headed, and are going to fight to preserve individual liberty.
If you have a rally planned for your area, GO.
Happy 4th! |

...to what has proven time and again to be, "the greatest country on God's green earth".
Ray Charles declared, in song, that he loves this country, as very well he should. A man who emerged from nothing. A man who carried with him a God-given talent of expression and story-telling ability. And in pursuing his aspirations to sing and shout his unique voice, he captured both the attention and accolades of untold millions of fans. And with it came great financial reward, allowing him to do that which he pleased.
This story is one of symbolism; told countless times for those who roll up their sleeves, focus on their goal, and put forth their best to make it happen.
What a great country this is. And this day is surely one to reflect on our blessings and God-given rights, both to hold dear and protect.
Despite the damage done by this present administration, we shall endure. No doubt it will take years to recover from the deeds of this president, however, it too shall pass.
And that is a, "HOPE", one can bank upon. |
