theloneapple commented on the blog post Live Blog of #OccupyWallStreet: Day Sixteen, Aftermath of 700 Arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge
I don’t agree with the police arresting people when they could have just blocked their path onto the roadway or directed them to the pedestrian walkway but wasn’t it sort-of foolhardy for the protesters in the front to say, “Take the bridge?” Emotion should not trump reason.

Maybe it’s time to have greed recognized as a mental disorder.

The picture is a classic. As for Silvio’s comment? I can’t help but think it’s just plain awesome. When assholes show their true childish assholishness, it brings balance to The Forza.

theloneapple commented on the blog post Republicans Not Enamored of Buffett’s Progressive Taxation Plea
These Catfooders are going to ignore the needs of Americans so they can compromise to further destroy the economy — all for the benefit of Republicans. Fine. Go ahead. Pretty soon people will get desperate enough because they have no jobs and no money that they’ll walk into supermarkets, just take what they need and then walk out. But I’m sure that these great American leaders will write an Op-Ed piece about all the “criminals” illegally feeding their families.
I will be glad to spit in the face of every politician I see from now on — that’s MY Op-Ed.

theloneapple commented on the blog post Is Rick Perry a Person?
I don’t give a damn whether a man shaves his legs or any other part of his body — I could not care less. I care whether that person is sane or not and the way Perry talks tells me that he is not. He may not be as nutty as the Teabagging hordes may think he is but his narcissism is on par with George W. Bush.

Damn those liberal conspirators! If only people would listen to the correct thinking of the right wing, all of these current troubles could be avoided.

theloneapple commented on the diary post Liveblogging the ‘Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers’ Hearing by Kevin Gosztola.
Pornography and child pornography are different things but I’m sure Lamar Smith understands that even as he purposely conflates the two for his own reasons. Aside from the further deterioration of people’s rights to engage in legal activities, I have a feeling we will see further erosion of the free speech right to create things [...]

theloneapple commented on the blog post Rupert Murdoch’s Hacks
And what are they going to do about it — this phone hacking? Blame a couple of scapegoats meanwhile protecting the executive class from blame and harm? Color me cynical but I have no expectation that anything but the usual suspects will go down for this.

theloneapple commented on the blog post National Review Compares New York Gay Marriage Legalization to “Tyranny” of North Korea, Jim Crow
It’s quite refreshing to see the National Review have the ability to show how incredibly stupid it is and with no sense of shame at all. If the word “retarded” was still PC, it would apply to the line of logic expressed above. The substance of that opinion is not worth addressing because it is so incoherent so all that is left is to revel in the amount of idiocy apparent by its existence.

Those wacky Dems — they are so for the people and workers.

theloneapple commented on the blog post Americans Become More Negative about the Economy
Then the conservatives in both parties and the financial elite did their job — they completely screwed average Americans for their own benefit. Congratulations.

theloneapple commented on the blog post Class Warfare? Yes please.
Working people need to realize that the war is on and has been for quite some time. Not only that but that it’s exclusively been fought by the wealthy even as they decry it as a tactic for the rest of us. Class warfare needs to start today and it needs to get a lot nastier than it has been.

theloneapple commented on the blog post If You Want More Bipartisanship, Promote More Political Parties
The winner-take-all system of our political process is the main thing in the way of a viable third (or more) party. A parliamentary or proportionally representative system would make this possible but that would obviously require a constitutional convention which is not going to happen. The current system protects the interests of the elites and you are never going to get the people who have power to give up an ounce of it.

Well….all nasty snark aside, I am. As long as the parents keep their children quiet after 11pm.

theloneapple commented on the blog post “Let them eat their own Goodwill Store bootstraps!”
They already disenfranchised the poor bastards with ridiculous hurdles to jump through just to vote. Why not starve them to death completely? Hey, it’s not like these Republicans are actually killing them directly. They can go fish or hunt for their food like John Boehner does on a daily basis.

When will people on the liberal/progressive/Democratic side simply call the Republicans out for the anti-American traitors that they are?

Don’t be too hard on them. Republicans are truly incapable of controlling themselves. If brought to trial, these three would probably be judged not guilty by reason of mental defect.
