After that comment @ 2, you should add racist asshole too. There was no need to type out that paragraph, complete with your Rush Limbaugh inspired idea about how minorities speak. Flagged!

*morphs into George Carlin*

Hey, if you’re one of the undecides that withheld voting for Obama until after he hurled Rev. Wright under his straight pandering Hopey-Changey Express for the unforgivable sin of scaring your white ass by telling the truth, let’s not make up any kind of notion that I (or Ron Paul and his supporters, for that matter) are racists. We don’t need a double-standard here – one standard will do just fine.

*morphs back*

There ya go – flag that, too.

One more thing: The hypothetical deadbeat dads which you describe with a cartoon like monologue aren’t Congressmen, using their office to preach values and receiving “family values” awards. Since you can’t source your data, perhaps you can point to one minority Congressman who is behind in his court ordered child support while simultaneously badmouthing anybody who doesn’t meet his standard of what people should be.

Looks like I’m not going to get a response and I can’t wait around here for it. Gotta go to work. Later pups.

Holy Stewing Timestamps Of Self-Loathing, Batman, I struck a nerve — as evidenced by you thinking I had nothing better to do in that 20 minute timespan other to give you my total and undivided attention – TWICE!

Newsflash: FDL is a blog; not Twitter or Yahoo. Some people have better things to do with their time than to hang around and treat this joint as if it was nothing more than a glorified IM service or some sort of self-esteem vending machine (i.e. hitting refresh ever few seconds hoping to get a “fix” from somebody who might’ve replied to one’s brain-droppings and witticisms). I’m neither; I say my piece, and move on. In fact, the only reason I came back to this thread — a few days after the fact — is because I saw the email that something I said apparently had pissed somebody enough to flag it. Didn’t think I hit the Drama-Monster Lottery, though!

Anyway, let’s deal with the first comment …

One more thing: The hypothetical deadbeat dads which you describe with a cartoon like monologue aren’t Congressmen, using their office to preach values and receiving “family values” awards. Since you can’t source your data …

… and I gonna stop you right there because I notice right away that the person complaining that I didn’t source my data is … *gasp* … guilty of doing just that: not sourcing her data. Just comes right out there with her blanket statement of “The hypothetical deadbeat dads which you describe … aren’t Congressmen”, and I’m expected to clap my fins like an obedient seal at the zoo, and believe it full stop.

Bullshit.

For one, no deadbeat daddy politician — regardless of party — is gonna be printing signs and bumper stickers confessing their deadbeat status as a crucial part of their winning campaign strategy. Mmmmkay? *LOL* Especially not the deadbeat mommie politicians. Yes, they exist – don’t like it? Fed Ex me the NERF hatchet – I’ll try to Nick Berg my head clean off my politically incorrect shoulders at my leisure. Mind you, gonna take a while – it’s fucking NERF. Next time, send a hatchet made by Ronco!

Which then begs the question: WHY THE FUCK DO WE EVEN KNOW ABOUT JOE WALSH?!?

Simple: the same reason why everybody in the DC media bubble (*wink-wink* *nudge-nudge*) knew about Valarie Plame, and busted their balls to make sure we knew, too. In this case, said journalists dug up Joe Walsh’s deadbeat status (or knew it all along – they know shitloads of secrets that they won’t tell or leak because they want continued access or they have a vested interest in shielding and insulating favored politicians) and immediately said, “Fuck yeah, this bombshell will result in held noses and retarded votes if it’s shilled and pumped accordingly!”

Or as Faye Dunaway’s character in Network: “We hit the motherload!”

And that’s where I run the risk of being flagged again: reminding you that the DNC and the GOP has had no shortage of people who are willing to milk and mine the “Always Remember – Never Forget” meme for every held snotlocker and distracted vote it can’t filch. Hence why divorced/single mothers and 9/11 widows are carefully managed, cultivated, and convinced to “Always Remember – Never Forget” …

Gee, how convenient?!?

Beside, common sense and simple process of elimination dictates that nearly all of the DC journalists know this very second which politicians are face down in the dogpatch at the same whore-houses that Obama’s Secret Service agents frequented, knows which DNC/RNC politicians are ass-deep in debt and back child support, knows which DNC/RNC politicians are secretly gang-banging Jeff Gannon instead the 5th wifey back home, knows which politicians treats their children like dogshit whenever the lights and cameras are off, etc.

They could blow the whistles and peel the onions of it all at any time. And yet Joe Walsh is not only the BEST boogieman they got, but they didn’t tell us about Joe Walsh when he only owed 3 figures, nor when he owed 4 figures in back child support. Quite the opposite: only when he owed 5 figures. Because hypocrisy, crime, and corruption apparently only sells to the electorate when the sociopaths GO LARGE like Mickey D’s …

Sick American shit …

When it comes to Deadbeats, Joe Walsh is small fries compared to deadbeat bailed out bankers, deadbeat job creators, deadbeat war-profiteers, and most important of all, all the deadbeat DNC/Third Way hockacrats who promised change, delivered smoke and mirrors, and yet people are dead set to reward his sorry, wretched, deadbeat freak ass with another 4 years …

Also, at the risk of being flagged again, I gotta call a spade a spade: there’s a burgeoning populist movement out there the deadbeat dads literally hide in plain sight. It’s called OCCUPY WALL STREET! Ever heard of it?!? Judging by the rate of divorce in this country – that means the Deadbeat Daddy ratio is a good 7 to 1, right?!? And how many female bloggers repeatedly point out how Occupy is predominately male as if its some double super threat to Feminism or something?!? Yet they’re not called sexist or misandrist by pointing it out. Yet if I dare ask where the flying fuck does Occupy hide its blacks and latinos, I’m the racist prick wearing a sheet and buryin’ coons under my non-existant porch?!?

There’s only two words for that: “wiggah” and “please”.

In that order …

After reading a biography on Edward R. Morrow, it’s easy to notice why he communicated so well. One of his teachers in college (who also had a crush on him – might’ve even dated at one time; can’t remember) always told him to remember the golden rule: “Less words carry more freight.” Later in life listening to him on radio and later television, she would send him letters of his own speeches with her editorial red ink. Every letter would have less and less red ink of hers as time went by.

As usual, the 101st Failsauce Keyboardists of left blogistan fail to realize that for every deadbeat dad that’s conveniently white, conveniently Republican, conveniently male, and conveniently owes 5 or 6 figures in back child support, and pumped and shilled on us as if they were James fucking Trafficant, there’s at least 10 blacks and latinos who owe just a fraction of that rotting in our jails and prisons by the bushel and saying to each other sarcastically, “Must be nice, muthafuckahs! Keep pumpin’ and shillin’ dem white blue eyed deadbeat devils, baby. I goan fall for the panderin’, hold my nose, an’ vote for y’ass tahmarrah — WAIT — fuck, we be felons. Welp, so much for dat Minority Outreach Program! Way to fail, Dimbulbacrats! C’mon, bro – time to make da donuts *cough* I mean license plates for the Joe and Joan Walshes of the world!”

Ugh, “perception problem” my ass …

Jamie Dimon has a “full of shit” problem, and that’s got Geithner pissed because of the unwanted competition in cornering the “full of shit” market …

If a third party is ever going to catch fire, it will have to be everything the established parties are not: Straight-talking, courageous, charismatic, people-powered, and not beholden to big-money donors in any way.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: a viable third party would have to have the intellectual chops of Jefferson or Paine, the economic chops of Gramsci or Marx, and the rhetorical chops of Harry Truman or Stone Cold Steve Austin …

Like hell it doesn’t – Obama would not be President today if white well-heeled DNC “undecideds” and fence jockey centrists didn’t have a convenient boogie man — real or Memorex — they needed to be hocked and pawned in exchange for feeling safe and secure in holding their noses and casting their fucking retarded votes for him.

Rev. Wright was their convenient boogie man, and the moment Obama hocked, pawned, and house-wiggered his black lippy, uppity, activist ass for telling the truth, I knew he was gonna hock, pawn, and house-wigger anybody or anything in order to score the DNC’s white inverted-racist vote at the cost of the truth.

Sure as shit, that’s exactly what happened. He’s been hocking, pawning, and house-wiggering people ever since — from Brad Manning, the jobless, the foreclosed, the great unwashed Occupy rabble, dead corpses in the middle east, etc. — in order to maintain their held noses and fucking retarded votes, and keep up appearances. Whether those appearances are his fake and farcical “progressive” street cred, the appearances of the DNC being that big tent party of liberals and progressives, or the utter fucking fiction that the DNC does not have any racists, misogynists, misandrists, and homo-bigots absolutely bursting with gay-hate (despite the fact that every single one of them were the very “undecideds” who were wearing sheets or in the middle of waterboarding the wifey every time the pollster called) …

Ohhh nooo … it’s all Ron Paul, Rush Limbaugh, and “Teh Big Spooky RePugs” that indefinitely and irrevocably have the racist/bigot/spouse beatin’/child abusin’/deadbeat daddy markets cornered. Never mind that John McCain was never gonna be President – he was Uncle Fester without the laugh track (until he found one in Wasilla). Never mind that Hillary Clinton was never gonna be President – she doesn’t stand on enough dead corpses from economic sanctions like Maddie Albright did …

Gee, who does that leave?!?

President Aceveda *cough* I mean, Barack Obama – the Pawn-Star in Chief!

The perfect personification of center-left “Malignant Optimism” in the wake of Bush/Cheney “Malignant Narcissism”, and by far the biggest scam and the largest instance of kabuki theater that America’s dumbed-down and distracted voter-drones ever foisted on themselves so far. Because they were the biggest marks for it.

I’m convinced that the average American did not want a President that would deliver substance and results – quite the opposite; they wanted a convenient over-idealized and over-romanticized bullshit story to cover up their weakfished spinelessness and paralysis in the face Bush/Cheney fear. In other words, they wanted someone exactly like them: big on smoke, mirrors, platitudes, and talk; low to non-existant in walk. They wanted a Leader to play them like fiddles in a GEICO commercial … and not only did they vote accordingly, they look forward (not backward) in voting accordingly again this November.

I went to a women’s day protest last Sunday and I thought I had fallen into a sixties time warp. I was so bored, I left after about 30 minutes–thought I should put in my appearance like a good scout, but, jeez louise, where have you people been all these years! I’m a senior citizen and what I’m noticing more and more is the utter out of it-ness of too many of the “leaders” of almost any organization you can think of: seniors and their disciples who may have been vital in the 60s and 70s but are now clogging up the top positions in far too many organizations and will not move aside or bring in the kind of younger people who could move these groups into relevance.

I’ve said once and I’ll say it again: the DNC is the WCW/TnA of politics.

Don’t count on it – Democrats will find a way to enable, reward, shield, and defend Walker somehow on the false rubrics of moovsie-forwardsie pragmatism and bipartisanship. Granted, he is indeed an idiot for saying such things when cameras and mics are around. But it takes an even larger shower of idiots to make sure he remains empowered in the halls of Government to ensure he gets to keep making such gaffes unmolested and accountable well into the future. The DNC traffics in such idiots …

My personal Obama 2012 Campaign Slogan: “There’s Still Room On My Ears For Stretch Marks!”

Dead serious, too.

Motherfucker smokes more Republican pole than Jeff Gannon!

It’s hard to be enthusiastic about a candidate that has tried like hell to be just like his opponent …

… and succeeded.

President Hockacrat demonstrates that success every single day.

The Romanians got their shit together. Gave ‘em 60 days to generate results, the pols botched it, and got purged with curt and quick youaretheveekustlink, g’bye. Most of us can’t count how many times we got fired after our 90 day “probationary period”, yet when confronted with politicians who don’t generate results, we’re expected to hold the schnoz and put up with them with retarded vote after retarded vote 2 to 4 years at a time.

What the fuck have we become?!? Has anyone else noticed that the very people in this country that ORDERED us to “always remember” 9/11 and “never forget it” day in and day out not only pumped and shilled similar photos of the tragedies, and the sick and twisted behaviors of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein … but got fuckin’ rich doing it?!?

Yet the very people in Iraq and Afghanistan on the business end of these wars the last 10 years on top of the crime, corruption, malfeasance of our military forces … oh, they’re NOT ALLOWED to “always remember” these photos, and they’re NOT SUPPOSED to “never forget” them. And the best way to make sure that never happens is to malign, castigate, and house-wigger away any soldier or newspaper that dares publish photos or anything to the contrary. Because they’re not supposed to feel about the Global War on Terror the way we ORDER, INSTRUCT, and MAKE them feel about it.

Quite the opposite: they’ve been ORDERED to moovsie and forwardsie, and stop re-litigating the past because WE — THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS YOO-ESS-AYY — forever ensconced in Ann Coulter’s confabulated “Doctrine Of Infallibility” and the Gospel of American Exceptionalism reserve all rights when it comes to “always remembering” something and “never forgetting” that something.

Whatever the fuck that something is …

We get to cobble it together as we go along …

Nobody else is allowed to. Because we’re separated from the Lord of Armies. Anointed by the tax cuts and quad core Athlons of the magical Republican ThunderJebus and the sheer awesome power of His Great Space Coaster. And we’re above the fray. Above reproach. Above blame. Above guilt. Above remorse. Above Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura, Dr. Drew, and Dr. Spew. Above Cesar “The Dog Whisperer” Milan teaching us new tricks.

On the contrary, we the Great YOO-ESS-AYY!!!

*morphs into the squid Elder God from “Legacy Of Kain”*

… ARE THE HUB OF THE WHEEL! THE ENGINE OF LIFE! THE PURIFYING CYCLE OF BIRTH, DEATH, AND RE-BIRTH!

If you ever wanted to know how moronic, empty, and devoid of life and dignity the phrase “humanitarian intervention” is, all you gotta do is realize — with the aid of some really warped logic — Sodom and Gomorrah’s sinful citizens triggered God’s “humanitarian intervention” …

Sorry, but this needs serious editing to reflect past, present, and future reality …

Conservatives, as a rule, are gullible nitwits who will happily make voting decisions against all available evidence; liberals, are much worse. Despite claiming to be proud members of the reality-based community, liberals tend to vote on paranoia masquerading as pragmatism. Show me a blue haired granny repeating the old and tired “Gotta hold your nose and vote or else Republican Spooky happens” while clutching her bingo dauber, and I’ll show you a liberal or progressive knuckle-dragging with the best of the Republicans in that mad, mad dash back to the wage-slave centrist plantation.
