Safety pins
« on: November 12, 2016, 10:02:17 PM »
Apparently wearing safety pins is a thing now, as a form of protest/show of solidarity with, uh, whomever.

So . . . .

The original idea is just silly.  But it is typically of liberals to call anyone who doesn't believe in open boarders a racist and/or xenophobe.

Because they are crybabies and need their diaper changed?
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

That's word for word exactly what I asked my girlfriend when we were leaving a diner tonight, and she pointed out a lady wearing one...

The article indicates that the usage is also to apply for people attacked for supporting Trump.

Quote
  Police are also investigating the beating of a man in a Chicago neighborhood by a group who yelled that the victim voted for Donald Trump, CBS Chicago reports.

Somehow I doubt most of those wearing the damn things would offer any sort of safety to someone they thought was a Trump supporter.

You can breathe.  You can blink.  You can cry. 

Hell, you're all gonna be doing that ...

There has to be gazillions of those floating around. I may have to fake it with a home made version, key ring and cotter pin.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

these snowflakes are so growth retarded, that the pins are obviously from their diapers.  You would think at that age, they would at LEAST have graduated to pull ups.   lol
