KLEM AM

Overheard at Lem's:

I do not use the term [cuckservative] because the alt right uses it in the context of a black man screwing a white woman (while her white nebish husband watches from a closet). It is apparently a popular sub genre in porn.

I once worried about the meaning of The Kingston Trio's lyrics in that 1959 classic:
Well Bob is in the livin' room holdin' hands with Sue
Nicky's at that big front door, vowin' to come on through
Well I'm here in the closet, oh lord what shall I do
We're worried now but we won't be worried long
"Bob" and "Nicky" were Dave Guard's bandmates.

[added] Let's analyze the term "cuckservative" in more detail. Screwing over your own citizens (for whom you took an oath to serve) is like cuckoldry. Aside from the repulsive porn reference, the term is apt. On the other hand, I don't like the one-sided implications of cuckoldry because men cheat on women too--perhaps exemplified by Donald Trump.

About a girl who played the field by having the field come to her.

The Trio were stepping on the hallowed Worried Man Blues which is another reason they were dismissed by the Pete Seeger Left.

Question for EBL: What is the "alt right"? Is it pejorative?

Yes, but what about the closet part? Kinda twisted for 1959 IMHO.

No, our minds weren't quite that dirty then.

Yet another reason why I like them.

PS That's a picture of the Trio with John Stewart, who replaced Dave Guard.

Thanks, edutcher. I knew that, but the other Youtube versions weren't as audibly clear.

Chick: I hate that they are called the "alt right" but it is basically antisemites and racists who follow Trump because they like his stance on illegal immigration.

They are really a tiny minority

I hate it because being against illegal immigration is not racist. Anymore than Mexico enforcing its own borders against Guatemalans is racist.

The left uses them to slander the rest of conservatives and republicans.

chick, you use what ya got.

There are indeed racists and anti-semites in the alt-right. Just not as many as on your average college faculty. Anyone who is against unfettered immigration is labeled a racist. So what's the point? That label means nothing anymore. The alt-right refuses to be defined by the left and the liberal main stream media or the conservative lickspittle lag dogs.

You left "cuckservative" out of your list of adjectives.
