La Terreur is coming for the banks and Wall Street. I may not see it in my lifetime, but as sure as shit, it’s coming.

Simple fix. (Maybe not so simple). The piece of shit that authorized this initiative should be fired and never work in law enforcement again. His name and address published publicly so that everyone can contact him with feedback regarding his job performance.

Aw schucks! LOTEr comments like these sure do drive home the point that the only thing that matters is that team “D” wins over team “R”.

Why is it we can smell the corruption and yet do so little?

It’s not about being able to do so little, it’s about not giving a shit. 95% of people (inluding self-identified progressives and liberals are “I’ve got mine, fuck you!” types. It’s what leads to this (only apparent) contradiction and also to garbage like “lesser of two evils”.

I’m with you, Bear. I don’t think it was OBL. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that Al Qaeda and OSL had nothing to do with 9/11 or terrorism against the US in general. Just as I am not surprised to see indications that several of the so-called 9/11 terrorists have been seen since 9/11.

One thing I have not seen in the coverage of Aaron’s passing is the names of those individuals in the government who chose to go ahead with the malicious prosecution. Those vile excuses for human beings need to be named, shamed, blamed and revealed for just what they are. I don’t want to share my planet with those people!

This. This kind of behavior would be much, much less prevalent if us “regular folks” didn’t let so called politicians/officials get away with it. Time to start picketing workplaces and homes and these monsters and their families.

I think what he is saying is that certain apologists for team D might suggest that Aaron would have committed suicide a month or two earlier–because LOTE>>>all else.

Actually, the saddest thing is that this shitstain let them eat there and took their money and then offered condemnation. This is how you know this scumsucker is the very definition of anti-Christian…and, of course, has not one fucking clue that this is the case.

…For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers…

CREAMY, peanut butter is supposed to be creamy.

Agreed. Crunchy is an abomination.

I see, I have to be an office-holder, or runner, to comment on things.

Well, that sort of narrows it down, doesn’t it. :o)

As for the rest of your bullshit, I’m wondering just what Obama would have to do to make you bail on him?

I still think he hasn’t publicly used the word “gun” relative to any of the massacres that we’ve had in his 4 years.
I’d be delighted to be shown differently.

Understand, I’m not blaming him for them happening, but I sure as hell blame him for not talking directly and honestly about the problem.

I guess your mileage varies…a lot.

You understand there is nothing that Obama could do to make them bail on him right? To the weekend-progressive, latte-liberal, lesser-evil crowd it is always about team blue WINNING over team red. The details about team blue and team red don’t actually matter.

It’s about plugging their ears and screaming about “purity troll”, “sparkle pony”, and “perfect…enemy…good” until you go away.

You can’t really expect them to be reminded of their cowardice and culpability for the next 4 years…

The self-righteousness is staggering…

For the record, I pay anonymously for another FDLer’s full membership here every year (since he once said he couldn’t afford it).

I also worked full-time for the WI Dept of Admin until July 2011 when I was “let go” for protesting on many occasions in and around the Capitol.

Do I measure up to whatever ridiculous standards you have made up in your own head for whether or not strangers on the internet “measure up”? My guess is “no” since you clearly can’t or won’t hear anything or anyone else over the steady roar of self-loathing you feel confined to the vealpen. You know, you can leave that pen anytime you choose, right?

Wow, the butt-hurt over being seen in the vealpen is deafening.

I, for one, did file, but not pay my 2011 federal and state taxes. So far, nary a peep from the IRS or DoR in my state. I wonder if it is because I made less than $15,000 for the year in actual income and only even taxes owe because I collected unemployment for half the year. Many people wonder what it’s like to have the “problem” of making so much money they actual owe any taxes at all…I suppose they should eat cake as a form of protest, eh Boo?

A good essay, so far as it goes, but if falls short of what I expected would be its logical conclusion: that the lesser-evilists and Obama loyalists are every bit as much low information voters as the tea party voters.

Exactly right. One has to wonder if the Democrats in the Senate would have blocked attempts by the wing-nut crazies and the president to gut SS and Medicare if Romney had won the presidency. If for no other reasons than partisanship and campaign bolstering for 2014.

After these programs are decimated it really won’t be much of a stretch to lay the fault for the gutting of SS and MC at the feet of the lesser-evilists and Obots. Our consolation will be that the SCOTUS won’t be quite as right-wing crazy as it would have if Romney had gotten to make two supreme court appointments.

Whew! Close one! I guess it all depends on whether one is glass 1/20th full instead of glass 19/20th empty like me.

I used to think I wouldn’t see it in my lifetime (around 30 more years), but I am starting to think I will. What’s that you say? Well, I am referring to the plans and subsequent implementation by the likes of Jon Chait and his masters being responded to by pitchforks, torches, guns, and guillotines.

There is only so much more unjust austerity that will be tolerated and it’s clear that the MOTU and their lickspittles like Chait have literally no perspective on how far they can push before there is some serious backlash.
