    LOL! Just because we’re critical of Obama doesn’t mean we support Ted Nugent, DUMBASS.

    Ted had his chance to kill during the Vietnam era, but he chose to avoid such ‘service’. He took the Dick Cheney approach: “I had other priorities.” LOL. As with all loud mouths, Ted is all talk and no action. Or, as his bretheren would say, he’s a “pussy.” The Secret Service shouldn’t waste a dime investigating this gun-toting cowardly asshole.

    My Merle favorite is “Okie From Muskogie.” Bill Maher did a hilarious interview with him here: http://youtu.be/0bC9E8QqqhY

    Me like me some George Galloway!

  • Will definitely buy the book. Keep up the good writing, comrade!!!

  • I need to read this book! I remember thinking the 2008 financial crash would usher in a new FDR-type era with a return to financial regulations that were abolished during Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush. I smugly felt like the country was about to turn LEFT. My first realization that I was wrong was during Christmas 2008 when my [...]

    I’ve often asked myself the same question, Mr. P. But I think it’s probably best to show it (as I did on my own Facebook page, where I thought “Should I give this asshole attention to my non-political friends who never heard of Breitbart?”). But Breitbart is good for us. If I was Republican, I would want his ASS out of the public space. He makes conservatism look downright delusional. GOOD. I wonder if he was drunk in the video? He probably has serious problems that could come to light one day,

    You just explained why the MIC is stirring-up trouble in the Middle East. The MIC will get their new terrorist attack against the USA come HELL or high water. They are counting on it for their survival.

    Whoa! Nice summary of the latest lunacy about Iran. Thanks, CTuttle. I’m wondering if Obama secretly supports an Israeli bombing of Iran but is pretending to oppose it because he knows many of his voters don’t support it. Even if Obama says he won’t support an Israeli attack on Iran, we all know that US [...]

    Very true! People assume Bush was the major culprit for the 2008 financial crash simply because he was president when it happened. It’s similar to the fools who think Reagan was responsible for the demise of the Soviet Union simply because he was president when the country began to disintegrate. The reality is that Democrats [...]

    weazoe – this is a fantastic diary. I’m inarticulate as all HELL, but you said so many things I wish I could say as eloquently as you did. Because I’m such a shitty writer, I know an excellent writer when I see one! And you are one! You put so many of my thoughts and [...]

  • jimbowski commented on the blog post Afghan Report Possibly Leaked to Rebut Rush to Withdrawal

    2012-02-01 11:02:39View | Delete

    My reaction was that the report was leaked to convince Americans that we cannot “win” and that there is no hope, something most people already know. But yea, I can imagine a dumb hillbilly in the Pentagon thinking that such a leak would bolster public opinion in favor of the occupation. This was the same mindset that claimed the invasion of Iraq would not bolster Iran. The men in the Pentagon truly are dumb fucks. It’s frightening.

    Barack Obama and his banality of evil. I’m starting to think this “no drama Obama” is a great mask to a sociopath president. It’s possible he merely believes all the crap the military tells him because, as with Bush, he’s just too lazy to give a shit. Meanwhile, from the looks of my facebook page, I see all my Democratic friends fawning all over his recent photos of “fist butting” and walking around with his pretty little girls. He’s just a “regular” guy, they say. Democrats love this evil turd. The banality of evil.

  • By the way, Jon Stewart in the second part of the interview said Boston’s “Big Dig” fiasco was a “big government” debacle. In fact, it was a Bechtel Corp debacle. Bechtel was the private contractor who was tasked by government to carryout the Big Dig project. I have argued with right wingers many times who [...]

  • Shekissesfrogs says, “Warren doesn’t strike me as someone who is very concerned about war anyway, but domestic economics.” And THAT, my friend, is the reason she can easily be swayed by the neoCon majority in DC into becoming a global military babysitter. I’m worried that all the love for Warren ignores her foreign policy views. [...]

    This is really blockbuster good news to have conservatives finally admitting the truth. Now, if they can figure out how to blame ACORN for crony capitalism, they’ll be golden!

    The claim that any able-bodied person can be employed is a myth. I don’t think any economist truly believes in zero percent unemployment and the Federal Reserve uses interest rate policy, in part, to ensure a “healthy” level of UN-EMPLOYMENT. The unstated theory of capitalists is that when unemployment gets “too low,” employers have a difficult time finding new workers, so they are forced to pay higher wages in order to keep current workers and attract new ones. This in turn causes higher inflation. I remember in early 2000 when economists said the economy was “over-heating,” which is a polite way of saying too many people are employed and, consequently, employers are being forced to pay higher wages, which in turn causes higher inflation, which in turn puts a damper on the stock market. The unemployment rate was like 3 percent in 2000 in many areas of the country, so the Fed raised interest rates multiple times during that year to stop all the hiring (much of it frantic hiring!). This is proof that our government intentionally seeks to keep people unemployed and the stock market and capitalism cannot thrive without a “healthy” level of unemployment. It is because of this that I support food stamps and welfare generally. I want to vomit when I hear the happy fascists like Gingrich claim that anybody can find a job if they really want one while tacitly supporting Fed policies that intentionally keep people unemployed.
