Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

This is the funniest damned thing I’ve read in a long, long time, and sums up what the hell is wrong with RINOs, SKUNCs, the GOP and Karl Rove…
King Barry Hussein Soetero Obama makes McGovern look like a card-carrying NRA Life Member, TEA Party activist and this fucktard is saying McGovern was the liberal high-water mark?
Sheesh, those establishment assholes don’t like it up ’em, do they?
“Sheesh, those establishment assholes don’t like it up ‘em, do they?
Ain’t that the truth!
I linked to this op-ed previously but I would recommend all here take the time to read it.

Excellent article, Michael!
‘…Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because suicide is the only human-inflicted leading cause of death in America, and that violent crime has been on the decline for decades. We also know that 10 people die daily in drownings, 87 people die daily by poisoning, more than 20,000 adults die from falls each year, someone dies in a fire every 169 minutes, nearly 31,000 people are killed in car accidents annually and almost 2,000 are stabbed to death. People even kill each other with hammers. Yet fewer than 14,000 people are killed by guns of any kind each year….’
But of course–as he points out–the hoplophobes are immune from reason.
Sorry, but I neglected to commend you on this find the first time around. He puts the situation about trustworthiness in plain language. However, what matters more is that half the GOP cannot be trusted to either, and they’re the ones in office with voting power. Ronbo has the right attitude — he’s preparing for what we grimly must expect will happen while I pray that it doesn’t.
This is how it works………
Fail to pay a million dollars in tax and get only 3 months in jail because…..
“I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them,” ….. “I had an economic system imposed on me.”
She could still be living in the jungle in a mud hut, cooking over a wood fire while various factions are slaughtering each other with AK 47’s just so they can impose yet another despot on the locals.

” … She could still be living in the jungle in a mud hut, cooking over a wood fire while various factions are slaughtering each other with AK 47′s just so they can impose yet another despot on the locals … ”
Well said.
She also had a cultural system “imposed” on her that enabled her to make millions of dollars in a matter of years, and that certainly wouldn’t have happened in too many other places. With all that money, she could have moved to a culture and “economic system” more to her liking, but of course she wouldn’t let principle rule to that extent. Zero sympathy.
I’m a child of former victims of Roman invasion–does that mean I don’t have an obligation to pay taxes?
These people are despicable, playing the victim card when it suits, while living in a society that has given them the opportunity to succeed beyond the wildest dreams of their ancestors.
Bastards.
Sure ………. but……… there are lots of us in the queue to
get free moneyclaim reparations for what you did to us………My people went through 2000 years of injustice, discrimination, rapes, beatings, murders. So I don’t have to pay taxes right.
Bastards true. But it’s an epithet that lacks specificity. Our overlords love it when we are reduced to blathering the same swear words whenever they upset us.
There is a more fitting word for this situation. And you just proved how much it (and other newly minted words) need to be made part of our language. Victimoguery.
Side note (Since I addressing a bunch of shrinking violets, maybe I’m just wasting bandwidth.):
Orwell explained in his appendix to 1984 that Newspeak’s intent was to reduce the size of the English language so that even thoughts, to the extent that we rely on words to gather our thoughts, could be prevented from forming well enough that the tyrants need not worry about rebellions. Essentially it reveals to us why the Frankfurt School has worked through their cultural attack mechanisms (Critical Theory) to diminish our language along with other positive aspects of Western culture.
Thus it seems our job out here on the Interwebs is to counter that deviousness by doing exactly the opposite.
So help defeat our enemy by inventing words that fits their ever growing brazen shamelessness and pray that others repeat them as much as possible when appropriate. [Thanks Gantt ! ] I think it will overload the PC police.
You Yanks have been inventing new words (and new uses/pronunciations/spellings for many exisiting ones) for centuries! It’s good to see that you are ahead of the game.
Wait a minute,I too was born into financial slavery.I am the victim of a system of taxation that robs from me and gives to someone else over 15% of my gross income every week.I didn’t vote for this system,I was not asked if I agree with it,but I am stuck in it “for my own good”says my slave master uncle Sam.Shouldn’t I file suit under the 13th amendment?
15%? Bugger me mate but we should all be so lucky. Most are raped far worse than that!
That’s just the Feds and that’s just the begining Gantt
A review Of Baz Luhrman’s “Gatsby”:
http://variety.com/2013/film/reviews/the-great-gatsby-review-1200447930/#!1/tobey-maguire/
I can’t stand the guy’s work, so this review comes as no surprise at all. From this and other’s I’ve read, it seems he manages to spectacularly miss the point of Fitzgerald’s book.
It’s never been successfully turned into a film and Luhrman leaves the record intact.
Anything with DiCaprio in ………..
Agree. No depth.
Gatsby would best be turned into a mini-series. The book is too complicated and too involved to be made into a good movie.
BTW I heard that the characters are portrayed as gay. Is that true?
Dunno, Findalis–no review I’ve read mentions that.
From the latest Woodpile Report:
‘The Fort Hood shooter is a Muslim and a registered Democrat. The Virginia Tech shooter wrote hate mail to George Bush and his staff and was a registered Democrat. The Aurora Colorado shooter was a staff worker on the Obama campaign and took part in Occupy Wall Street. He was a progressive liberal and a registered Democrat. The Newtown, Connecticut shooter hated Christians and was a registered Democrat. The Columbine high school shooters were too young to vote, but both of their families were progressive liberals and registered Democrats.

Link doesn’t work, Grappler.
Worked for me. Maybe Stephen Conroy has blocked the page for you Ozzies?
Most likely. Encyclopaedia Dramatica doesn’t work either
Well done to Issa and those pressing the Benghazi investigation. There’s much more to come on this. Here’s breitbart.com’s view of the 5 key points so far.
Hasn’t the Fast & Furious scandal gone very quiet lately?
A lefty Brit reviewer’s take on Gatsby concludes with this:
‘…No, the test for me was whether Luhrmann would be able to scale it down to the intimate core of the story, and let us see the brutal and cruel truth of what these idle rich really represent. (I exclude Carraway because he’s the only character in the story who cares a jot about anything.) Here, Luhrmann largely succeeds, bringing out the carelessness at the heart of Tom and Daisy, and conveying the essential message that riches rob us of our humanity. That message resonates as much today as it did in Fitzgerald’s day’

Never miss an opportunity, do they? I’m left wondering of some of the reviewers have even read the book.
From today’s Australian:
‘PEOPLE-SMUGGLER Sayeed Abbas Azad wants to be deported to Afghanistan rather than face a 20-year jail term in Australia. ‘
I bet he does!
