INBRED hicks!
Hey! Those are probably my relatives!
On my long lost dad’s side, in Kentucky. I guess I don’t know for sure, but that’s how I imagine them.
also come form southern heritage
but I hate the damn hicks
me = born & raised northern city girl
And the damn hicks hate you too…
Only if she’s black
or middle eastern
or can read
or has a family tree that branches
Daaaaaaaaaaamn.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! Damn hicks.
Intolerance is bad, let’s be intolerant towards others to show it’s bad.
I’m an Obama fan and am from Kentucky, thankyouverymuch.
Man, I hope you’re in the majority there!
they can’t even spell socialist correctly…I wonder if they can read difficult words like, “manifesto”…makes you wonder..
Anybody notice they spelt socialIST wrong
and first!
fail
liaf
You had your chance!
reminds me of southern new jersey….
How does this remind you of Southern NJ? We’re normal, thanks.
well, except for that Springstein thing…
The Boss is Jewish?
no, but my mother thinks he is!
He got and honorary barmitzva (sp) on the Jersey Turnpike.
LOL!!
i’ve seen enough confederate flags in south jersey to think that part of the state was unsure of the location of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Why is it when obama talks about his tax plan, and helping out the middle class it is socialism, and wealth redistribution. Yet, when McCain talks about his tax plan giving money to wealthy coporations it not considered wealth redistribution?
You can’t redistribute something to the people that already have it…
The middle class already have it too… Obama’s plan is basically to let Bush’s tax break for the rich expire and then instead give a tax break to the middle class.
That was my attempt at sarcasm.
What is this “middle class”?
are you allowed to vote?!! REALLY!
I’m pretty sure that was just a joke.
Calm down.
Wow, this thread just fails at sarcasm detection. harhar.
Fidel Castro is so proud of you !(sniff)
Because you don’t understand economics. And also Obama’s lying about how his plan works, with his magic number of $250k and saying most small buisnesses don’t make that much. It’s all a bunch of smoke and mirrors. If you want to play Robin Hood and rob from the rich to give to the poor, you have to remember that he was stealing taxes from the government, not robbing the well to do honest merchant. Effectively giving back money that was stolen from them in the first place. If you help the “wealthy corporations”, they take the money and hire people and expand to do better and make more. If you hurt them to “help” the middle class, you give folks a temporary boost of money which won’t be enough to help them when the no longer wealthy corporations can’t afford them and can their happy butts. Boom, more unemployment and poverty all around. And those that can move their operations overseas where the profit’s better.
Your making it sound like hees stealing from the large companys, when really he would just be taking away tax breaks and giving it to the people who make less money.
Taxes are more when deling with more money, this probably ending in the governments getting more money…
But then again, the current plan is working “so well”…
Just my opinion,
~LewK
Making companies or people pay higher than neccessary taxes *is* stealing from them. Cutting taxes would be stealing the money back (effectively) from the government.
The current plan that’s failing involves taxes well above the minimum level.
It also involves deregulation.
Regulation/deregulation isn’t “bad” anymore than a sword or gun is “bad”. It’s a tool. The problem is it’s been used in the wrong places at the wrong times.
And to add to your point, the finesse needed to use either regulation or deregulation is sadly lacking in all parts of Washington.
Oh please, You expect us to believe that a tax cut on corporate executive pay being repealed with have any effect what so ever on hireing policy?
You think a board of directors is gonna go “QUICK! Our 4 million dollar salaries are only 3.8 million dollars now because we dont get tax breaks! Lay off the marketing department so we can give our selves raises again!”
As long as somebody is making more in one day than I do in a year I’m not going to have sympathy for them, their taxes, nor worry about how their company is doing.
Conversely when you give rich people more money, they tend to keep it, A tax break for the ultra rich will just see them getting richer.
Lets not kid our selves here, theres a differnce in executive compensation and business tax incentives. Theres a world of differnce between giving the richest 1% of the individuals in our nation tax breaks and giving corporations tax breaks to encourage them to hire people.
If you don’t think they’d lay off someone for .2 million dollars then you haven’t met many executives. 8P
“As long as somebody is making more in one day than I do in a year I’m not going to have sympathy for them, their taxes, nor worry about how their company is doing.” – And this is exactly why Class Envy works. People get so mad they don’t bother to look at how things *actually* work. They just don’t care anymore.
So if you don’t have sympathy for someone making more than you, why should they have sympathy for someone making less than them!?! Just because someone makes more money doesn’t mean they should be penalized!! As it is, I am middle class and I never owe for taxes, in fact every year, I get money back. My boss makes much more than me and pays thousands in taxes every year! So just because he’s worked his butt off to get where he is and works 45-50hr work weeks, he should be taxed out the wazoo??
Also, who do you think make up the bulk of charitable donations every year? These ultra rich you talk about. A fool would keep all of his money. A lot of people donate enough that they don’t get destroyed every year by taxes. I work in research and Bill Gates pays my entire salary thanks to his $6 million in donations.
Look at the economics. The trickle-down “theory” doesn’t hold water. Do you know that CEO’s in this country are the highest paid in the world? Do you think they work that much harder? Other countries have rules that CEO’s can’t make more than x above the lowest paid employee in the company. These companies still get a lot done, and in fact are out competing the US on the world market.
Yes, but we’re Americans and we deserve to be overpaid and underworked. Isn’t that the American dream? To get rich off the back’s of others? Other countries dreams include things like efficiency and in the case of Japan must learn everything-ness.. But no not us. We need huge houses and fancy cars and vacation homes and separate apartments for our mistress’. Not to mention $1000+ suits.
Gosh when put like that we seem pretty greedy and ass-backwards in our work ethics.
There are almost 200 countries in the world, of these only 6 work more hours a year than the US. Most European nations actually work a lot less for a lot more money. But I can see how all of this could make you think the opposite.
“As long as somebody is making more in one day than I do in a year I’m not going to have sympathy for them, their taxes, nor worry about how their company is doing.” – Then do something about it. I know it’s far easier to complain about what you don’t have than going out to EARN it. I also want to point out that those successful heathens pay more in taxes than you make in a year….let’s have some perspective here
please look up the law of diminishing returns.
there is a point for every company where it is not financially beneficial to hire more employees.
trickle down economics only work until a certain point
A point very close to where the trickle began.
Yeah, like that old saying goes, “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”
Fair enough, want me to call it love instead??
I heard they charge you a few hundred extra for that.
That’s awfully naive. You make it seem like corporations always make the best decisions for the benefit of American workers. If corporations have to have incentive to keep the economy afloat, it doesn’t really say much for them, does it?
Exactly. There are fewer jobs now, after all this supply-side garbage, and those jobs pay less than they used to. The biggest gains this economy ever had were when the highest marginal tax rate was 90%. Yeah, that’s not a typo, ninety percent. Rich people were still rich, they still owned businesses, and they still hired workers.
All this bull crap about people thinking it’s not worth it to be a CEO if their taxes go up is patently ridiculous and is only espoused by people with absolutely no knowledge of economic history whatsoever.
Coming from someone who has no knowledge of economic history whatsoever, your statements are ironically amusing.
Smug…cute. Point is, corporations want cheap labor so they can make more money. It doesn’t matter if they are taxed more or not. If they can get cheaper labor in Mexico, they will move operations there. If we force these businesses to give back to the people, then fine. Don’t feed me that line that these people worked hard to make their money. Bolsheviks. If businesses are incapable of making decisions that benefit their workers because they are making 30 million rather than 35 million then send them to Iraq and let them set up shop there.
You’re kinda half-arguing my point. We need to cut taxes on the companies and make it so they can stay profitable here, so our people have jobs. There’s no way to force the companies to give back to the people. All you can do is ask them nicely and make it worth their while. If you make it lucrative for them to be here, they will. They do work hard for their money, not sure how you’d expect someone to become a CEO without working long and hard for it. Maybe there’s a case of nepotism every once in a while, but that’s the exception, not the rule.
All this misses the main point though. The tax increase isn’t hurting the major corporations who have the capital to just take their buisness elsewhere. It’s hurting all the small businesses that provide 70% of the jobs in America. *Those* are the people who won’t be affording their employees anymore and will can people out of neccessity. The “95% of small buisnesses don’t make $250k and won’t be affected” thing is a bald-faced lie. Well, no, it’s a half-truth: 95% of buisnesses with less than 10 employees will not notice a difference. This equates to about 10% of small businesses. About 20% of small businesses with 10-20 folks will be seeing major increases, and 50% of those small businesses that employ 20 or more people *will* get a tax increase. So instead of 95% of small businesses, you’re actually looking at less than half of small businesses not being overtly affected by increased taxes. So if (roughly) we say 60% of small businesses are going to get a tax increase, you surely can’t believe that wouldn’t be a major increase in unemployment? Or at the least pay cuts and increased poverty.
And you can provide source material for all of those figures???
Just go to the Small Buisness Association’s web page.
*Business. Darn typos.
I agree that small businesses will probably be hurt by this. How do you figure that a CEO works harder than the people under him? There is no incentive for being a CEO because all you really do is take the blame for all of the underhanded things that the shareholders elect to do. If you look at the difference in pay between a CEO and a minimum wage employee, do you really figure that the CEO deserves that pay? Nonsense. It is on the backs of the “average” worker that the CEO gets his ludicrous salary. I shouldn’t have to ask anyone for a living wage. They are men and women just like we are. Just because I didn’t inherit riches I have to grovel and beg? NEVER.
You shouldn’t have to ask for a wage? What, you want mana from Heaven to fall on your lawn every morning? People have to ask for jobs – it’s called an interview. And CEOs work *very* hard, much more than you’d expect. Very few “inherit riches”, they work their ways up just like everyone else. And they deserve what they earn. It’s not like they appeared one day and magically got an amazing job. They went to very expensive schools, studied hard, got good grades, have a solid work ethic (usually), put a lot of blood sweat and tears into a company that may not even care about them as a person, and work far more than a measly 40 hours a week because they have to to keep profits going up for their shareholders or they’ll be just as unemployed as the next guy. If you call working for a living groveling and begging, then yes, you darn well better do so, because it’s unfair to *anyone* else to have to take care of you if you’re too lazy to work. If you want to be rich then go out and work at it. Don’t accept a minimum wage job and settle there. Only one to blame would be yourself. I guarantee if you worked your butt off and became a CEO you’d darn well expect to earn far more than some burger flipper.
“I guarantee if you worked your butt off and became a CEO you’d darn well expect to earn far more than some burger flipper.”
I do agree that CEOs often work very hard; my issue why is their 60-75 hours a week worth $4000 while my ma’s is only worth $400.
There reaches a point when what is “owed” to people moves from understandable to obscene. Necessary spa visits? Six-martini golf luncheons? That is excess beyond need. Enough to live comfortably while paying off business school? That’s fair.
I’ve nothing against the hard-working CEOs. I object to the ones (like those I’ve known) who earn $250,000 for eight weeks of work a year.
Not to mention CEO’s in this country make more than CEO’s in other countries.
And your sources are ?
Here’s one. I am doing some more research, because I know I’ve seen others. Basically the studies show that US CEO’s make a much higher margin over their company’s lowest paid worker. That CEO’s make in a year more than many employees make over an entire lifetime, and that US CEOs tend to have a bigger margin from top to bottom as well as higher overall than in other countries.
Have you read Atlas Shrugged?
The spa thing that happened with AIG wasn’t for the CEOs (though of course they get to go too). If you work in insurance, one of the things that is part of your pay (everyone in the company) is the ability to go to the company conference, held once per year usually. Agents work their tails off to earn a trip to Hawaii, Cancun, etc. for themselves and their families. I’m not saying having conference right after having your company bailed out is a good thing, but it’s understandable to not take away a trip from your rank and file agents that worked hard to earn it. Though it was portrayed as “Woopie! Free money! Let’s take the CEOs and go on a trip!” their conference had been planned for over a year and may have cost more to cancel or change than to just go through with. I think the main issue with that was timing, though if the company had folded the agents wouldn’t have gone either so having it cancelled but keeping their jobs would be a small consolation prize. Most agents are not in the six digit pay range, most well below $50k/year. It’s the benefits and perks that make up the difference.
Again, I’m not sure how I’d handle that one. The timing of the trip was terrible, but it’s not the agent’s fault and wouldn’t want to smack them and their families out of something they worked hard and planned on. 8/
What paid for those expensive schools? That’s right, they inherited it from their rich families. I’m sure quite a few of them did terrible in school as well. You totally misunderstood my point. I’m not saying I should be handed money, I’m just saying that if I make 40K a year, and the CEO of my company makes 4 million a year, is it because he works harder? No jackass!
corporations DO NOT make decisions to the benefit of workers.
they make decisions to benefit the COMPANY. that’s the whole POINT of a company, to make more money for itself. that’s the whole POINT of capitalism and free market: make decisions that benefit the self, that make more money. oh man. whatever.
and obviously, corporations haven’t been making decisions for the benefit of the whole economy…see previous/following lols.

Have you lived on a mountaintop in Tibet since 1980? Assuming your post wasn’t sarcastic, you must be the last person on earth to actually *believe* this toxic and demonstrably false screed. We’ve all seen only too well how eager corporations are to help people and use their wealth for only the most ethical purposes, and how, when left to their own devices, willingly assume their share of the fiscal burden (that *was* sarcasm). God forbid, don’t give money to regular people or schools or health care or the infrastructure. Give it all to Enron and Wal-Mart and the oil companies, because wealthy corporations would NEVER cut jobs in times of record profits, NEVER move jobs to sweatshops overseas, NEVER poison the environment, etc.
So? How’s that working out for everybody? That ton of money we handed over to the corporations, any of that [snerk!] “trickle down” to anybody here? Truckloads of cash in our front yards? Wages keeping up with cost of living, e.g. gas prices, food prices, healthcare costs? Massive job creation in the U.S.??
Anyone?
If you were a dude, I would marry you right about now.

I usually try to “play nice”, but as Yogi Berra might say, sometimes it can’t always be done.
Sometimes, you just have to slap somebody.
You either are incredibly naive, or don’t know a thing about what you’re talking about. Companies work in an environment. Government has made ours toxic to business, so they move. If you’re not blaming the government and blaming the companies for trying to make money the only way they can, then you are just buying into a lot of liberal claptrap and there’s probably nothing I can say that you’ll even listen to because your mind’s made up. Go on hating the Evil Rich, the true troublemakers are sitting back and getting richer themselves and soaking up the praise.
Sorry to be rude, but you started it sister. Sometimes you *do* have to slap someone.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system… but no.. she is right..
You do seem to be the only person who actually believes yourself.
Yeah, that’s it all right: *I’m* naive, ill-informed, and closed-minded.
I also made up out of wholecloth the record job losses of the past eight years, the well-documented shift in tax burden from corporations to the individual since the mid-1950s, the steady erosion of unions and regulations since the first St. Reagan administration, the obscene and shameful and ever-growing disparity between worker pay and CEO pay (while *some* CEOs may work harder — and I’ve personally met some who do and some who don’t — they don’t work 600 times harder than their staff), the massive outsourcings and layoffs, the elimination of entire industries (so how are those steelworkers doing lately?), the ongoing thirty-odd-year decline in real wages relative to cost of living… and do we all remember the recent robbery, uh, bailout, when the greedy slobs on Wall St. reached into taxpayer pockets to the tune of 700 million dollars, and promptly turned around and blew it on golden parachutes and $100,000 luncheons?
Please feel free to offer any sort of factual refutation that you care to, by the way. Please cite any examples you wish to of how well trickle-down has worked for you or anyone you know. Please offer statistics of job growth, minimum wage growth, improved workplace safety laws, improved labor laws, or a healthier environment directly attributable to large corporations. Please prove that our bestest buddy Halliburton didn’t oops! “lose” 9 billion dollars in Iraq, or that our second bestest buddy Enron wasn’t caught on tape (or at least the hard working executives were) snickering about how “Granny’s gonna freeze this winter”, or that the Euro isn’t kicking the dollar’s ass right now despite Europeans’ pansy insistence on silly things like health care and vacation time and child care and subsidized education.
You silly, pathetic fool. Your self-destructive pandering to the corpocracy while you chase after the “true troublemakers”, whoever you imagine those to be, won’t save you. Dick Cheney and Ken Lay despise you as much as they despise everybody else who makes under a million dollars a year, and your delusional cheerleading for the ruling class will never, never make you one of them. They’ll squeeze all the money and cheap labor they possibly can out of you, and throw you away like garbage when they’re finished, just like they will with the rest of us. We’re all getting screwed here, but at least some of us have enough of a grasp on reality to realize it’s rape, not love.
Here’s one source. I have a bunch of other ones I was just looking at because someone asked me for a source on another thread. A search for “ceo compensation” will net quite a few.
Thanks for the suggestion. The AFL-CIO website includes an easy chart where you can plug in your salary and that of the CEO of your company to ascertain the ratio of his/her salary to yours.
Your “facts” are so wrong I don’t know where to begin. But it’s obvious that nothing I say you’ll even listen to and you’ve already resorted to name-calling a couple times now, so I’m just going to cut this one off here. Enjoy your miserable hate-filled life.
What A D-Bag, You (blah) Have Clearly Been Bested And Dont Have The Testicular Fortitude To Admit It
Apparently, you are either a CEO, or you really just don’t think you or anyone else actually deserves the American dream. Apparently the American dream only applies to people who are giving a metric shit ton of money from their parents. I think it’s about time we stop listening to you.
I like what you’ve been talking about, Blah. You remind me of my favorite Economics professor at UCONN, Dr. Ken Couch. He is a brilliant Economist that worked in the Reagan Administration from a young age, and understood implicitly the inner workings of government and finance. He was also smart enough to explain, (or at least try) to the students that Economics is the study of human behavior above and beyond, yet all encompassing; finance, business and government regulation. It is a subtle and delicate balance of these three things that motivates and perpetuates or economy and standard of living. I will be careful to point out that he also was a firm believer, as am I, that if someone is willing to work for $1/hr, we should let them, and that an artificially inflated “minimun” wage is detrimental to supply side economic theory and practice.
Unfortunately, liberals continue to increasingly disregard this simple fact. I feel that much of this sentiment comes from longstanding and no longer practical influence of labor unions and other such organisations. We weren’t around to actually witness the formation of unions to benefit workers at the turn of the last century, nor did we see the Trustbusters at work. However, many of our society have been influenced by parentage in the welfare system of government to ignore the fact that highly successful Oligopolies are in fact very good for the average worker in terms of driving down costs of goods purchased and produced. Take Wal-Mart for example: although you would be hard pressed to see me in one of these rediculous places infested with white trash and screaming toddlers on a regular basis, it is hard not to realize that although the average employee does not make much money, that their income goes a long way when they shop at their own place of employment. Certainly a far cry from “loading 16 tons” and owing your soul to the company store. The idiots never had it so good. They love to scream injustice that the “man” is keeping them down, yet they do little in the way of personal betterment. Once, just once, I would like to see a welfare recipient go to night school on my dime, earn a degree in economics, and sit at the head of a board of directors making decisions. I’m sure that this individual would have had to have had an “awakening” of sorts as to the inequalities that our current welfare system perpetuates.
On a side note-I was in a local restaurant for breakfast the other day, and sitting behind me was a group of young local people from the poorer part of town (in which I lived for several years and currently act as landlord to an investment property). They were having a discussion in which a rather trashy 17 year old female stated that she aspired to have at least two children by the time she was 20, so she could collect enough welfare to avoid working. Whether she learned this behavior from her ignorant and neglectful parents or not, I was pissed!!! I promptly got up and asked them how much their meal cost. They were confused, but after they gave me as close an account as they could muster (taking into account the poor math skills) I paid for their meal. Afterwards, I thanked them for being contributing members of society and reminded them that the meal was paid for using money garnered from hard work. I also admonished them that fewer and fewer of their meals would be able to be purchased for them when people such as myself were overtaxed to pay for their illegitimate progeny. (They also asked what “progeny” were). I hope that on some small level, my harassment might have changed their perspective, but sadly I am not optimistic. In closing, keep up the good work in trying to educate the masses. I would love to see some sort of “societal awakening” within my lifetime, but it’s not looking good for ‘08 or ‘09. The indiscriminate redistribution of wealth makes me feel like I’m living in a Kafka story or worse, an Orwellian distopia. Maybe I’ll just go out and knock up a couple of strippers and everything will fix itself. – Colin.
You present yourself well, but there are a couple of subtle flaws in your ideas. As minimum wage increases and welfare increases (up to a point) average quality of life increases. Minimum wage was one of those things unions created to prevent exploitation of workers, and have existed where I am for 111 years.
Looking at this:
Australia looks set to stay out of recession while USA and most of Europe are nearly certain to enter recession soon. Australia also enjoys lower unemployment.
.
Obviously it would be stupid to increase minimum wage to Australian
levels at a time like this, or at any short period of time really, becaue of the inflationary pressures and pressures on employment. But a slow change would not be to the detriment of the people.
On the other hand, cutting out the minimum wage altogether would also be horrible because it would cause deflation in wages much faster than deflation in prices, and would be political suicide.
.
I am almost certian that those people in your anecdote didn’t change their plans because of you. If they did change their plans, it would have been for a different reason.
.
Oligopolies aren’t good, because they tend to collapse into cartels. Regulation is needed to prevent this.
I always wondered how to get a southern accent into written form, I guess I just need to spell words incorrectly in such a way to sound it out.
So, these people aren’t the socialest?
Of course they are. They are obviously a very social bunch of grannies.
They’re the social-least
Maybe, but they’re certainly mavriks. How about you?
I don’t know which to comment on-
the prejudice, or horrible sentence structure!
(talking about “Retaba”)
Well at least they got Obama’s name right. =/ Still trying to figure out why socialest sounds so much dirtier that socialist… Must be the ‘e’ that dirty dirty little vowel.
In sounds like an inchoate form of socialista.
I was thinking a combination of socialist and incest. I don’t want to think about how that would work.
Well if you notice… the “head” of an e is constantly attached to its midsection…
Quite dirty.
The e is in a constant state of autofellatio.
I didnt want to come right out and say it. Thanks DWN.
You reckon?
So that’s what a Pro-America part of the country looks like…
How quaint.
Heh, yea, the “real” Americans.
These are the places in america where you have more siblings than IQ points.

While I take some offense to that assumption, it might be true.
New Orleans is getting stupider by the birth.

At least they knew it was spelled incorrectly.
True but if you’re going to be an Obama-supporter, let’s try to at least put on the face that we are as educated as we want people to believe.
Agreed, but you’re making the assumption s/he is an Obama supporter. Perhaps they are just a correct spelling supporter who struggles with it themselves.

They’re ‘Mavriks’. They never follow the rules, doncha know…

Oh, and may I also add stupid… For a user of sarcasm your not very good at detecting it.
I love the misspellings. Socialest. Mavrik. You would think you’d go and check the spelling of the words you plan to display for all the world to see. This is a perfect example of why I have very little faith in the education level of the average American voter…
At least they managed to spell Obama correctly. lulz.
I don’t mind the average American voter. The problem is the half who are below that level.
That’s the half who support Obama.

I heard McCain was ahead in today’s polls, but don’t you worry
none about that. There’s always 2012. or 2016. or 2020.
i know, obama will just never be able to catch mccain in the “who’s more likeley to pick an inexperienced vp” poll
If I were Obama I’d be more worried about my own experience than a running mate’s.
You might want to look at the picture again.
Actually it’s only 25% below the level of the average that support Barack “Nyalathotep” Obama. The other 25% in the lower portion are the Republican Party as a whole. Even the ones in suits don’t seem to be spell ‘Maverick’ reliably, nor actually do much other than roll over with Nationalising the remainder of the sub-prime mortgage debt…

The poor saps are already on minimum wage, and are probably sick of wiping your ass and mopping your drool, without you biting lumps out of them like a George A Romero reject…
I love you… Platonically of course.
In bed?…
That would be the opposite of platonic.
This may surprise you, but you don’t actually have to do anything in bed.
I wouldn’t want to do nothing in bed either. I prefer to sleep at the very least.
Unless we were just holding hands……in bed.
For real, EP? You’d stoop so low to say something that idiotic to get in a shot? I used to think a little better of you…
I’ll just go ahead and ask the obvious question: why?
We had a debate a while ago, and he tried very hard without openly insulting me for my beliefs or others. I thought of him as an intelligent other, but now I see he’s like many of the hateful people i come across, ready to put in a shot any chance he gets.
Oh come on! Sometimes people don’t have time to hang out and argue with everyone. It’s fun to just pop in and leave a cheap shot every now and then…
I guess…but they could at least come up with something tasteful…
It’s more tasteful than the majority of lol’s here on PK. I happen to find the majority of them completely offensive and unfunny, one-sided and partisan…
Which is why I do my part to vote those down. I’ve failed my fair share of anti Palin lolz because they were lame, or just plain below the belt.
*note: I despise and Palin…
I notice they still slip through… We have to counter-balance in any way we can! Don’t always have the time for deep well though out arguments, people gotta work! So, at times, the cheap shots will prevail.
That argument would carry more weight if you had ever used anything besides cheap shots.
Damn, Seth: if you’re going to hit someone with the truth, at least sugarcoat it a little.
Well, we were talking about EP and the intelligent converstaion Kelto had with him before. I’m not EP. I’m ONLY here for the cheap shots!
I think… yep. Im actually humbled by your honesty. Well played
sir.
Too bad your cheap shots aren’t witty. They’re just predictable and boring.
I’m playing the world’s smallest violin just for you.
Yet you still read them…
Look EP – your family painted signs!
ROFL!!
“check the spelling” implies that these people own a dictionary or know how to use a computer. FAIL.
The red paint used is actually the blood of the last person to point the spelling mistakes out to them.
Blood for the Blood Sign!
Err… Skulls for the Skull poster?
Sorry, nerd crossing… ;_;
Your spelling will make an excellent sacrifice to the lord of murder!
B’aall? … or Cyric?
Khaine! His slogan was “Blood for the Blood God!”
I do believe..
well the spelling of “referring” in the caption
is wrong too so … ummm … ?
At least the caption isn’t plastered all over the person’s front yard. At least the caption isn’t specifically implying “folksiness” = “bad spelling”. I personally felt the “folksiness” part referred to the Confederate Flag and anti-Obama propaganda that appears to be racially motivated for this household…
But they still look like idiots.
Does no one even care about the Ginormous Confederate flag? Srsly?
A better question would be: why does the Ginormous Confederate Flag still surprise us?
An even better question is, do they have Ginormous Confederate flags in Virginia? If so, what do they call them? VA Ginormous Confederate Flags?
Ok, that’s a LOL.
They do now! Well played, my friend, well played.
XD Wow. Just wow.
To answer the question, though, yes. There’s a depressing amount just on my way to school. Not to mention the KKK meeting place down the road and the two of my so-called “peers” that named their dog Hitler because, quote, “He hates Jews.”
As soon as I finish college, I’m outta here. I just regret that I don’t have the money to go out-of-state.
I used to live in the South. They’re everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
And we still want to be free from being ruled by Washington and those idiots ! Still think we’re wrong ?
Only those from the deep south continue to disrespect the American Flag and the soldiers who died for it on a routine basis while pretending to be all-American.
Hahahahaha.. no wait, you’re serious, aren’t you?
Go check out the Che Guevera posters up in Obama headquarters !
Why do you hate America?
He doesn’t. He loves it so much, he wants to burn it to the ground.
I known a few people I love that hard…
The confederates swore an oath, so help them, GOD, to uphold the Constitution of the US, then betrayed that oath…Che never did.
Went there for a class. Never saw them.
Yeah, that part always makes me shake my head…people who proudly fly the banner of the bloodiest and costliest display of anti-American treason and insurrection in our history having the nerve to lecture anyone else in this country about patriotism. that sort of thing just buries the needle on the irony meter.
These same people get all bent up if you burn an actual American flag. Jut imagine if you burned their stars and bars.
WHOA! TIME OUT. As a Southerner, I take serious offense to that. Don’t just throw out a claim like disrespecting the American Flag or the soldiers who died for it without at least trying to explain yourself.
Sure, froofrou… in my opinion it is simple. In 1861 several states left the union they agreed to join. In the years preceeding that action, several southerners , all of whom had sworn an Oath (to God), secretly moved military supplies and personel to bases in the south in anticipation of secession. additionally, military officers, who had also sworn to defend the Constitution, left the service in time of crisis and many participated in seizing said supplies and equipment. They served under the stars and bars, the symbol of the violation of their oaths. The stars and bars are the emblem of treason, as defined by the Constitution of the US (the only crime stated in the main body of that document). Therefore, anyone who flys such a flag glorifies treason and rejects the ideals of the Constitution of the US.
Let me get this straight…….anyone who flies a flag that is based in history (no matter how much you disagree with that history) and once stood for treason and bloodshed and war is by definition a person who rejects the Constitution………..Ok, I have some naturalized Mexicans who live next door to me who like to fly their own country’s flag instead of the one of which they are a citizen. Since their flag has flown over bloodshed, war, and treason, then they, by definition, must hate the Constitution and go back from whence they came?
That flag no more stands for treason anymore than wearing a shirt with Hugo Chavez’s picture on it. It’s a violation of my right to free speech to be told to take it down (I don’t have a Confederate flag up, I’m just using an example), and it doesn’t mean I hate the Constitution anymore than some jack off down the street wearing a Malcom X shirt.
As a Southerner I take offense to your lumping us all in together as idiots and country-haters. Those exist, but they are WELL in a minority. I’m sure you have the same type of minority in the northern states.
And if you want to get technical, the Stars and Stripes is a symbol for treason, since it has flown over a country that basically seceeded against the Motherland and fought several wars in order to get away from it. The Boston Tea Party wasn’t a slightly treasonous act? Should we take down the Stars and Stripes too?
(Interestingly enough, the Boston tea Party — which would be labeled terrorism under today’s standards — was incited by calculated deregulation of the colonial tea market in an effort to create a more “free-trade” version of capitalism.)
Yea, they didn’t like those taxes!!
My understanding is that the tea tax applied to all the small colonial tea importers, and did not apply to the British East India Company, effectively giving one company an unfair advantage. The tea party was an anti-corporate expression of support for small business over large corporations in bed with the federal government.
Of course the Stars and Stripes represent treason against tyranny. That banner exemplifies the will of the people standing up against a dictatorial power to gain access to their for their natural rights for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What rights did the confederates, who had sworn to uphold the Constitution that they betrayed, stand up for… their “right” to own other humans, to exploit their strength and deny them their natural rights. besides the context of their generation, fast forward to modern America where that flag (and anyone who flys it) represents, bigotry and hatred to the grandchildren of those slaves and justifies the history of that legacy of tyranny. Call it history if you like, the holocaust is historic, should Germans, 100 years from now fly the swastika flag from their homes and call it history?
Win.
But you’re oversimplifying the reasons for the Civil War in an attempt to villify anyone who doesn’t hold your viewpoint. For the people involved in that war, they were rebelling against a government who they saw as trying to take away their rights. Whether you agree with what they intended to do with those rights is not the issue. They were no more traiters than the original Pilgrims who immigrated to America to escape what they saw as a monarchy (government) taking away their rights of free worship, and as you say, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I’m not an imbecile, but I take acception to you lumping all Southerners in together.)
The confederate flag is in no way comparable to the swastika. Last I read of my Civil War history, it was the North that raped and pillaged across the South. All in the name of war, sure, but the South hasn’t been the same since. And what if the South had won? Would the Stars and Stripes (which is typically flown in the same places as the stars and bars) then be seen as the tyrannical flag and shouted down?
(before you flame me, I’m playing Devil’s Advocate here.
(Apart from the Confederate agenda — as wonderfully depicted in the movie “CSA: the Confederate States of America”) I do like pointing out that while slave Black population formed the base of the Southern agrarian economy, the North’s manufacturing industry was built with the blood and bones of mangled Irish children.
I mean, with Devil’s advocacy being thrown around and all…
True but how did you think we were supposed to get Irish cream for our coffee in the future? Sacrifices must be MADE!!!
Um, the “Irish cream” in your coffee is how we finally managed to keep our numbers under control. Just a heads up.
Think of it as a protein supplement.
*gags* That stuff is NOT good in coffee! Or any way other than straight! Damn you, herb, why did you have to go and ruin a good thing?
What can I say? The little voice said “Don’t go there,” but I did anyway.
I suppose I’ll get punished for this?
Hell yeah, good coffee is always strong and without additives, use those how you feel best, i bow to froofrou’s wisdom.
1 — DWN set me up. How else was I supposed to respond?
2 — I used to do black coffee until I turned my stomach to cheesecloth in high school; now I’m somewhat required to dress mine with honey, cinnamon and cream.
Yuck… oops sorry, do you swallow or spit?
A lady never tells……but since I’m hardly that…….
Based off all of my other posts, what do YOU think????????? 
Bwahahahahaaaa…
I do love a girl who doesn’t waste what she works for. Lynn considers it her antidepressant.
*blush* not sure? *Opens mouth, inserts foot.*
Let’s just say that I’m not depressed today
Lol, the South’s right to beat, rape, murder, and terrorize blacks. What a noble reason to go to war!
Read the rest of my postings before you make a dipsh*t statement. The North did those things as well.
Froofrou – “rape” in the terms you used (the Rape of the South) wasn’t about sexual violation, but the invasion of a sovereign territory.
That doesn’t alleviate any of rick’s comment or denigrate any of yours, but I wanted to clarify usage of the word.
And in defense of my family, we never did bother to cross the Mason/Dixon until sometime in the mid-1980s. Those that fought in the Civil War never passed I believe Pennsylvania.
There was sexual violation on both sides, but you are correct. It was an invasion of territory and a defense of said territory. My family is completely south of the Mason/Dixon, but we are really so far west that it doesn’t count all that much. At least, my Mom’s family is. Dad’s family is from Kentucky, which is prime real estate for Confederate left-overs
So the eff what. The north did it, the south wanted to keep on doing it. They rebeled adn those little bltches got told.
Yeah I saw The Outlaw Josey Wales. Clint was HOT.
“Whether you agree with what they intended to do with those rights is not the issue.”
Are you seriously trying to compare the rights of freedom and liberty to the rights of people to own and abuse others? Jesus damn christ. GTFO with that shite.
Spoken like a true a**hole . Come to the South and say that- after you make out your will that is. Or say it to any soldier from the South serving (and dying) in Iraq now.
Your, sir, are an ignorant ass.
No, you misunderstand. I can’t speak for froofrou, but any Southerner fighting in Iraq is a brave patriot in my book. Southerners are fine. Patriots are fine. Southern Patriots who fly the Confederate Flag are hypocrites. A Southern Patriot who flies the Confederate Flag and therefore condones violent insurrection against the United States yet wants to see Ayers strung up has no sense of irony, history, or perspective. The causes of the Civil War are fairly complex, but that doesn’t absolve anything – at some point, some Southerners rationalized that it was OK to kill their fellow Americans. And that’s bulls**t.
(p.s. emphasizing violent retribution does not help the South’s image)
You guys are acting like we’re the only country in the world that has ever had a civil war. That doesn’t make it right, but history is ripe with stories of countrymen against their brothers, fighting for ideals they thought were right.
And I’ll do you one better. ANYONE, regardless of where they are from in the United States, fighting in Iraq is a brave patriot (damn run on sentence).
Charlie, just so you know, I agree with you (to some degree) about the stars and bars. I took complete exception to your generalization of Southerners as a whole. And I take exception to you lumping in ignorance and the Confederate ideals. Slavery may have been a part of it, but it wasn’t the only part, and certainly not the biggest part. It was on its way out to die a natural death. The Civil War simply accelerated the process. To a lot of Southerners, the stars and bars doesn’t stand for slavery, but for state’s rights.
Reb, get a life. Debate, or go back to the hole you came from. Charlie is stating an opinion, and any patriot fighting in Iraq or anywhere else for that matter, will defend his right to say it. Just like they defend your right to be an ignorant name-caller.
Froofrou, I understand and I wasn’t talking about all southerners. Americans from the entire country serve honorably, and if i misspoke, then i was wrong. However, I have lived in the south and i understand the historic argument, however, in my opinion, it is wrong. Flags are strong symbols, and that flag represents hatred and bigotry. It was used by traitors to defend their “right” to enslave others. The bulk of the Confederate Officer Corps betrayed and Oath that they swore to support and defend the Constitution of the US, regardless how they justified it or how their decendents justify it today. More importantly, anyone who flys it today does so knowing that it envokes the image of repression and slavery, in particular when flown here in Indiana, a state that fought against that flag. In modern America, that flag symbolizes hatred and bigotry. I know many people do not understand or agree with me, but thenn again, symbols elicit strong reaction… just watch someone burning an American Flag. in my mind, flying a Confederate Flag is worse.
I would equate the two………especially if said Confederate flag is being flown from the back of a pickup truck through the poor black neighborhood with a couple of drunk rednecks in the back throwing beer cans at all the black people they see. Yay to my hometown *sigh*
I will never be able to think that simply flying a Confederate flag is as bad as burning an American flag, but that’s probably the product of where I was raised. For the most part, kids are brought up with that flag as a symbol of history, not of hatred. It does go off the scale sometimes, though, as I just described.
I still think having a poster of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, or (what’s the guy’s name?) Guerrero is as bad or worse than a Confederate flag. All of them stand for dictatorship and tyranny, all things that America fights against. All of them have oppressed their peoples.
Ernesto “Che” Guevara, sweetie.
Gracias. I had a major brain fart. Happens when I’m at work sometimes
I hear you, i am no supporter of any of those morons. i guess my point is that Americans, not foreigners, committed treason under that banner. I have known and served with many honorable southerners, however, i can not get past the history of rebellion that that banner represents, nor the present day use of said banner.
Thanks Charlie. I had to go do something for a while, but you added my supplemental arguments great! I didn’t mean to leave that last statelment hanging, but Charlie and I agree I think. He immediately expanded on what I meant when I originally wrote it.
Apparently we are one of the few countries that allow traitors to exist among us without marching them into the sea.
Damn that free speech. Oh, Wait… I’m for that.
Kim Jung Il would be proud of you ! (sniff)
funny thing that free speech…you mean i have to actually hear what someone else thinks, even when they don’t agree with me? What’s up with that?
Minerva, it’s cool…i gotch yer back!
Hur hur, my brain don’t work so I talk with my fists! Hur hur.
Oh, I love this:
“Come to the South and say” [fill in unpopular opinon here] “after you make out your will, that is. Or say it to any soldier from the South serving (and dying) in Iraq now.”
Yeah, because that’s why soldiers are fighting and dying in Iraq — so we can all live in a society where people’s lives are threatened for freedom of speech.
Amen, CF.
Maybe if you didn’t suck at fighting so much you’d have won the civil war and wouldn’t be having such an identity crisis.
‘Ran out of supplies for war’ and ’sucking at fighting’ are two separate and completely different things. The South held their own pretty well for a bunch of kids with no supplies (shoes and food) against a much better supplied and more regulated army with more experience under its belt. The North was pretty well beat almost to death by these kids, and if it hadn’t been for a few ill timed tactical errors on the part of the Southerners, the United States would probably look much different today.
“Pretty well beat almost to death?” Wow, they must teach an alternate history in the south.
Just remember that history is written by the winners. There are always alternate sides of the story.
Yeah, and I think I’ll believe the non-traitors story.
No, there are facts and none of the facts point to the North even coming close to being pwnd by the South. Your alternate side = spin fabricated from lies.
Yeah, I have to agree with ck, froufrou. A Union victory was only a matter of time, even if you just look at it from an attrition standpoint. If we were talking about an uprising in the roman empire or something, I’d go right along with the “history written by the winners thing.” We are talking about relatively recent history here though, from which many journals, military documents, news reports, photos, letters, etc. still survive to be examined. It’s possible to reconstruct pretty thoroughly.
I never denied the eventual Union victory. But the South, being woefully undersupplied and under-regulated as an army, still held its own better than anyone thought they could have. IF they had been supplied like the Union army and hadn’t made several key tactical errors, the USA would be much different today. That isn’t saying that the Union wouldn’t have won, but the loss of life might have gone on longer, the fight even more bitter than it was originally, and the South might not have been decimated to the point that in some ways it is still trying to recover from. It’s all speculation and conjecture
Sorta like Mike Tyson taking on a 90 year old lady, and taking 3 rounds to finally beat her, but suffering a split lip anyway !
The South was outnumbered 4 to 1, had virtually no industry or railroads, yet still held off the North for over three years, with several large victories in battle.
actually, froofrou has a point. had J.E.B. Stewart actually executed his assigned mission at Gettysburg and not been off chasing headlines, the Confederates might have pulled of the “Saratoga” like victory and broken the North’s will to fight, they might have had to sue for peace and we would have had a different history.
See????? I get it right now and then!!!!
absolutely… want to get some coffee?
Love some.
By tye way, do check out the movie “CSA”. Terribly interesting.
I stil live in the south… and yes they are everywhere.
It doesn’t come as a suprise to me…
Amazing that such “pro-America” folks display the flag of the greatest traitors to the U.S. in it’s history.
The antebellum charm is almost cloying… Bear in mind America, your future sits in the hands of people like this, since they’re the majority (they remind me of a cross between the family in The Hills Have Eyes, and the one in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
Ha! They feel the same about you!
¿
Glad to say they’re outnumbered on the west coast. Even good ol’ boy rednecks out here spell better than that!
Yep, here you mainly see them attached to giant, jacked-up trucks or the back of a guy on a Harley. So at least they’re rednecks with disposable income. And a handy tire iron.
You think they are the majority in America?
Obviously a Democrat plant !
Lmao
How do you spell Bob backwards?
Funny you mention that since “Joe the Plumber” is a Keating family plant
Lol, a plumber making over 250K. The poor, poor guy!
He doesn’t make that much money, he lied about that. Also, the keating thing has been debunked, He just lied about most of his other stuff.
He never sad he makes that much. He sad he HOPES to start a plumbing business.
And I hope to win the lottery.
Even successful plumbing business don’t make that much, especially if you’re having your wages garnished for not paying your back taxes. :p
Did he really owe back taxes or was that debunked too?
really owed back taxes. Here’s the info from Fox News!!
Damn, whenever something negative is reported about a conservative on Fox News you know it’s gotta be true.
Jesus tap dancing Christ……I hate pics like this. These folks make the entire South look ignorant. At least learn how to spell.
I live in MS and see this crap all the time.
IAWTC so incredibly hard. As a native (southern) Virginian (i.e., not from NoVA), pics like these make me sick. I hate that it’s people like these who drive the popular perceptions of Southerners. These people don’t represent me in ANY sense.
It’s Jesus H. (Hockey Mom) Christ, thank you very much!!! And you southerners need a better schtick, like us Hick Hoosiers.
LOL. I lived in MS for a while when we were stationed down on the coast. My first introduction was driving from Jackson down to Gulfport and seeing all the signs for “Boled PNuts”. I had to ask someone what the heck a boled pnut was. I never learned to eat them (boiled peanuts), but the handmade signs always looked friendly to me.
Aw hell, you see signs like that everywhere. Back when I lived in Maine, I’d see signs every year for “fresh blubberies”.
I lol’d
Nothing like some fresh blubberies I always say…
They’re almost in season
blubberies…? isn’t that a conservative talking about the liberal media?
“Boled PNuts”…LOL, dear god, I may have to use that as a new screen-name…
Austin TX
unfortunately…
Then move.
Yeah because Harlem is such a nice place. This site is almost as bias as the NYT.
Is it that obvious!? We are trying our best to disguise it…
I assume you’ve never actually *been* to Harlem? Fabulous place: I had a number of intellectual conversations with subway-goers from that area.
BIASED.
Christ on a bike, they do have schools down there, don’t they? At least they could start some kind of sign writing class.
Right, ’cause this one photo on a biased website represents the spelling ability of all conservatives and McCain/Palin fans everywhere. Good job! You win internets! Really…
Well, this photo and the others about keeping “Ameirca” strong and so forth…
Yea, those other two… I forgot!
Harlem is a nice place. Everyone says hello or how’s it going. And last time I checked, they don’t have hate filled signs on their stoops.
I was running thru there too fast trying not to get mugged to notice if there were signs or not !
Paranoid racist much?
Wait, WAIT. No lolnathan? Dethwyrmnexus can’t show his “face”? Not even ema can defend the strong McCain/Palin voter base. LOLzing LOLzing LOLLLLLLLL!!1!!!
O_o…
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong.
Can you tell which thing is not like the others,
By the time I finish my song?
oooo oooo I think I know, can I have a guess?
I C U
wait wait quick get me to the I C U
Jaimieteevee, please try to be more discerning and pick your battles more carefully. Lolnathan and Ema are two of the conservatives I respect most here. DWN is an independent with VERY strong anti-establishment vibe. You’ll find there is a core of decent folks from all sides here, and while the wing nuts are fair game, you shouldn’t attack the sensible and polite folks. Or DeathWormNexus, for that matter.
… in bed?
LOL. XD
I love you guys too.
Man, I miss all the good fights, even the one about me! You said it best Seth, and I’d like to add that lolnathan, ema, and DWM are all a part of the Logic League, so back off Jaime!
Fear my vibe… It is strong.
In bed. Bwahahahaa. XD
I *try* to be more logical, but if anything I figure I represent the heart more than the head.
So… if you guys are the logic league… can I be the Fail Police? I want a badge!
And a tazer!
Bro! Don’t tase me!
I got your taser right here, baby.
LOL
Yay! ………I hope in bed
It is where I usually stun Lynn… Though sometimes she is stunned on the couch.
You’re in the Logic League too! So is froofrou and eddiepscetti and herb and Guinny and minerva and musicmom. Seth and n8 are kind of like the Batman of our Logic League though, the sometimes help out, but mostly they’re doing their own thing.
n8 can be Robin who later becomes Nightwing.
I’m really more of a Wolverine than a Batman. Maybe a Dark Knight style Batman. Certainly not the campy TV Batman. Although I can do the Bat-Watusi.
Oops. That was me. Anybody got a hanky?
*hands Seth a hanky*
And it’s the Batusi.
Adam West will be by latter to kick your ass for that one.
I was kind of hoping for the Commissioner of Redundancy Commissioner.
I dunno though. Im just a lonely fail cop, hoping to make Fail Captain.
I asked my husband what he thought about what superhero I’d be and he said Professor X/Xavier. Minus the wheelchair. I don’t know if that’s right or not, but I definitely am not one of the chainmail bikini and cheesy magic lasso wielding types.
I always kind of liked Rogue. I could totally do that.
Professor X with mobility and a lightning hammer. I rock.
Max, you could just use the failcop as your alter-ego
Hmmm… I like…. >:-)
Ooh! Ooh!
[raises hand eagerly]
Can I be Wonder Woman plz?
I already have long black curly hair, but I want red boots and a magic lasso!
I don’t think there was a discernible attack anywhere in my comment. I came on and discovered more than 70 comments and not a single one of them were posted by the people I see on here most, defending some of the most horrible positions. I will say that ema is very nice. I can’t say that I have ever seen an independent anything from DWN. When I do pick a battle, I must admit, I can be overly passionate sometimes. It comes from a long life of abuse by people who claim to be more moral than me. If you had seen the violence done to your family and friends that has been done to me and mine by people who use the same rhetoric, you would know why.
LOLksiness
IL ftw
I think it’s funny how people at McCain/Palin rallies yell “Traitor” and “Terrorist” about Obama, but Palin’s husband belonged to a party that wanted to leave the union. Then we have this confederate flag here…People who display them are traitors!
I kind of doubt most of them want to secede anymore. Who’d buy the Moon Pies?
Oh, we still very much want to secede and tell the beltway boys to steal their own wallets for a “change”!!!
… And yet they proclaim themselves of the party of Lincoln.
Last I checked the majority of southern states received far more in federal subsidies than they contributed (the major exceptions being Texas and I believe Florida). The reality is the south has been stealing from the wallets of California, New York, etc. Do a search for “federal spending by state”.
How is it logically possible to steal one’s own wallet?
Only Sarah Palin and a few of her pet Alaskans want to secede any more.
If they do secede does that mean McDonalds can stop pushing sweet tea on me? I live in the North for Christ’s sake, I don’t want sweet tea!
No! You’ll have your sweet tea and you’ll LIKE it!
… But I like sweet tea…
In bed *nods*
Only on days when I am feeling lazy
God I freaking love moon pies.
LOL REDNECKS CANT SPELL
Sorry, miss: I can’t make exceptions.
*takes Karen’s keyboard, pries off the caps lock key, and smashes it with a hammer*
Make sure she knows where the apostrophe key is too.
That won’t do her any good if the keyboard is smashed…
No, I’m just smashing the caps lock key. I can mark the apostrophe key with neon paint if you like, though.
herb only smashed the caps lock key
and if her fingers get in the way… well… we won’t say anything
I call foul on you sir! You are at risk of developing a personality, such action will require you to surrender your cheapshot name in favor of your own identity. Get to it!
Here, here!!!
In the spirit of the LOL, we could hang his old name…
Yaaaaa, I think that went too far, even for me.
Oh no ya don’t! You would foil my cheap shot cover and all my fun?
Dude! I am who I am, I am my own special creation… UGH! Forget that please! No La Cage references. But, I am me. You can look me up. Oh, and the “TEEVEE” does not refer to and transvestite tenancies. I am a guy. I gay guy, but a guy, nonetheless.
Using that moniker is a little cowardly. Using a bizarre, WOW or EQ2 profile names it only vaguely less cowardly (nodding to DWM).
Try, for example, “Obama’s pocket watch” or My Own Private Alaska”. there are LOLz there.
CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME!!!!11!!!!
But even with cruise control, you still need to steer.

Excuse me sir… dont be tarnishing my silver hammer.
Did someone call my name?
how come none of the ignorant mccain supporters can spell? Mavrik? socialest? huh?
if you are going to be hateful, the least you can do is spell properly.
Oh come so many ignorant Obama supporters think one picture on a biased website represents ALL the Mcain supporters?? Huh?
Um, no.
And why on this green earth do you keep magically reappearing and commenting if this is such a biased website?
I am the magical messiah!!
He didn’t say all McCain supporters, he just commented on the ignorant one.

Holy crap, I know this house, its two blocks away from where I live. It’s in the middle of an extremely liberal neighborhood in Austin, TX, which is primarly populated by college students and yuppies. When I saw it, at first I thought it was a joke. Now I’m not so sure.
“Extremely liberal” in Austin TX = “barely able to tolerate people who don’t go to my church”. Those people are only “exceptional” of Austin in that they are not asking their college student neighbors for help in spelling their signs or having the students over for free Budweiser and a little “social structuring”, let’s call it “witnessing”. The only actual liberal thing you are liable to find there is a liberal use of make-up. I will never understand the giant hair and the “Tammy Faye” stylings that are mandatory there. A friend of mine was called a “Jezebel” because she chose to hang with her gay friends by a woman with at least half a can of hairspray in her “do” and more paint on her face than on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. That is a charge that used to be reserved for any woman that would dare to wear lipstick.
As to the issue of whether it might be a joke…….can you please tell me, who would find that funny? If you were a Republican, would you be “amused”? If you were a Democrat, wouldn’t you feel sick to your stomach and fear for your children’s lives?
If I could only reach my hand through this series of tubes I would punch you in the face. I’ll let you in on a little secret, Dallas was a TV show, not a documentary.
I think they meant “Mavrick”.
A “Mavrik” is defined as a racist.
They seem to have made that point.
And a Maverick is someone who, “refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter”. If they are referring to McCain, as he often does of himself, then it is still dead wrong. The only time that man dissents from the Hard Right Conservative Republican agenda is when his vote cannot possibly sway the vote or alter the outcome. That sounds much more like a person who is more concerned with his “image” than his reality.
A “Mavrik” is only “assumed” to be a racist, not by definition but because it is a safe bet.
if only every surface you wrote on had spell check….
well if they cant spell, niether can you…refering?????
*neither ?
*cant?

Strawman fallacy: Ur doin it right!
Now I want to became a socialest
so i herd you leik mavkip, is dis tru?
This reminds me of a handmade sign along the road supporting ‘John Mcain’…
spelling fail
I just love the way ppl see redneck racist hick when they see the star and bars. Should see the looks my best friends wife gets when she wears her sweatshirt with a big rebel flag on it. She is black. Yes it stood for various bad thing in history at times but these days except for a minor portion of the population it just means they are proud to be from southern states or that its just a cool looking flag. I also happen to have one on my bedroom wall along with an American flag and a Canadian flag. I’m also a Navy veteran so dont accuse me of disrespecting the Constitution or the United States.
This is why people in other countries think Americans are dumb. Some of us will “wear stuff because it looks cool” without any regard for the symbolism they might be invoking. Teenage girls make gang signs when they take pictures ofthemselves because they’ve seen it someplace and they think it’s cool. (I’ve even seen a pic of the Bush twins doing this) Sheesh. “sure it stood for bad things in the past but people are proud of being from the south or it looks cool” (yes, I paraphrased, but not much) I am for freedom of expression, but there are very good reasons why people get upset at the casual use of this symbol. Read the stuff Charlie says above.
Anti-socialeesm! XD
Sarah’s right, that is cute. :3
omfg, what is shown on this picture is totally the reason why most people here in europe think most americans are…y’know, like on the photo.
Socialist is spelled incorrectly. Sad.
Perhaps if they had the benefit of a high-quality, free education a socialist state would provide, they could spell it. And “maverick”. And not be frightened of the metric system, proportional voting or seat belts. (Sorry if I’ve implied those last three objections.)
BTW, can you actually call yourself a _maverick_? Doesn’t that label have to be given to you by everybody else?
Refering. Refering. Refering.
Is that like smoking weed? ‘Cos this honky ain’t never seen that word before.
I think that’d be “reefering”.
It’s Madness I tell you.
I love the smell of spelling mistakes in the red-necked morning.
I think this is in Austin, tx because my friend scott took a picture of a house with the same signs here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dirtysouth/2972829596/
“socialest” fail
At least they got “Obama” right.
….. Firefox really needs to add that to spell check, by now.
Also, if they’re in Austin they should be strung up for flying that flag.
Texas flag or go home.
Respect the ex-country
.
What is scarier?
These people exist?
Or the fact that they vote in elections?
Good lord! Exit stage left!
tl; dr
WTF? It’s a spambot!
For the best, this “person” is actually a bot.
Bot? Is that EP?
So, would you say this person suffers under your tax plans? Please say yes.
Simple- this is in Austin, Texas which is as flamingly Liberal as San Francisco.
These are Obama supporters who did this as a joke and you idiots took this seriously. The Austin American paper interviewed these people and they admitted it, and even intentionally misspelled the signs.
Dems have no morals whatsoever.
*hands roll of aluminum foil to Boodles*
For what? Pointing out the truth ? They were engaging in satire, nothing more.
NO, for the name calling and the generalizing about liberals having no morals just because of a few dumba$$ kids. They do not represent everyone.
