I denounce and reject being called a "fundamental"
How did this happen? Yesterday I was a person. But today, according to the mcSham twins I am a merely a "fundamental." To them, you're nothing but a fundamental too!
How do you feel about that? How would every "fundamental" you meet feel about that? Frankly, I'd like a poll asking people whether they like the names these slandering liars are calling us!
I personally am offended to be called a fundamental. Mind you, I was appalled and outraged when they foisted the Trophy Fundamental on me. But now they've poked me in the eye again, trying to change the word "person," a perfectly good and acceptable word into the weird term "fundamental." All because mcShame flip-flipped on his view on the economy! Do they think we were too stupid to notice the flip-flop? And the total stretching of the Truth by changing the meaning of "fundamental" into ME!!!
Well, I'm telling you, I don't like being treated this way. I'm a woman and besides it being sexist to call a woman a "fundamental," I also have a sneaking suspicion there is more afoot here than just a flip-flop and redefining the meaning of a "Person."
Here's my concern. This Trophy Fundamental (I'm calling her that because she's participated in this "verbiage" switch - as she termed it, so it can't be sexist for her!) is a "fundamentalist" as well. So... could this religious hypocrite, a liar of the first order, actually have a hidden agenda? Is she hoping that we'll all get so used to being called a "Fundamental" instead of a Person, that they can then just stretch the Truth even more... till they're calling us a "fundamentalist" too?
Well, I'm not taking this any longer! I propose a huge campaign to take back to the real meaning of "fundamental" and to reject this inhumane calling of me and you - a "fundamental."
If we don't put a stop to this now, the word "humanity" will be redefined too: Fundamenty is what they'll say. Next it will be "God created fundaments." And they'll try to tell us to "Love your fundamentals as you love yourself."
Sarah, you mendacious liar, you, where in the bible does it call a Person a "fundamental"?
If the mcPain twins, partners and Soul Mates in Lying, want to call themselves "fundamentals," that's ok with me.
But you're not gonna call me a Fundamental and get away with it!

I doubt they'd ban you. I'll check out your site, but not right now. (Today I actually have to do some work.) Thanks for the offer. (You're always welcome to transfer a post of mine wholesale... just cite the link. I'm simply trying in my own small way to do public service.)

I appreciate your outrage. I have not had time to really consider what McCain said there and it demonstrates a complete disassociation with the american worker as human beings, as people, to call them fundamentals. It is incredibly distant and very reflective of the way it seems he really relates to 'average' people. Perhaps it's all those years of having been a POW that makes him less connected to his own humanity and ours??
It is outrageous though to hit on the american worker strength and hard work when you are knocking the wind out of them weakening the dollar, decreasing their wages, taking away their jobs, foreclosing on their homes, and raising the cost of energy, food, and other goods.
Here you have it folks a foreign relations breakdown and a financial breakdown brought to us by the ignorant neocons that are disconnected from their own humanity and thus all humanity...

I personally would just like to see this whole issue blow up! I'd like to see Americans arise and denounce him on this!
I want to see him nailed on as many things as possible!
I agree. It's a put-down of workers! I'm one. You're one. But all he needs to do, to make a buck, is satisfy Cindy... somehow.

I am not human.
I am a fundamental.
I am a part of the machine.
I walk in lock-step like a robot.
Come to think of it, if I were able to think, I'd realize that I'm a robot.
But I don't realize that because I'm a fundamental.
Get yourself a lobotomy and be a fundamental too.

I think what McCain meant to say was "The Fundamentalists are strong. (Someone, anyone, Please help me!)"

As I said above, that worries me...

I once worked for a company where the CEO referred to all of the "non-executive" employees as the cogs that carry out the ideas and plans of the executives. Within 6 months of that speech, more than 40% of the staff quite.
Don't call me a cog and don't call me a fundamental either!

Yup. I really think if we can get this meme out there, linked to other stuff like not knowing the Prime Minister of Spain.. or that Spain is Europe and part of Nato...

Now you've gone and done it! Rush is going to call you the "Head of the Fundamentalista's" or, is that, "Fundamentalnazis"?

TheraP:
The thing that has me so incensed over being referred to as a "fundamental", is that, as the word was used in that sentence, we Americans, have been reduced to ADJECTIVES... (a word that expresses an attribute of something) THE ECONOMY... we are no longer NOUNS (a person, place or thing)...
"THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE ECONOMY ARE STRONG"...
fundamental in that sentence is an attribute of the noun economy....
We aren't even real people to this clown... ummm... THOSE clowns... dear Sarah tried to pack-peddle them out of their mutual stupidity... but IMHO just dug them in a bit deeper...
Hey HI Ho all you fundamentals out there... news flash we aren't people anymore we are adjectives...
BIG Surprise given those two dingleberries huh?
OBAMA!
