Teh Wingnutz Are A-Twitter
Some of SadlyNo!’s favorite people have started crowding into the Twitter-sphere after Hugh “Man Boobs” Hewitt blessed Twitter and said it was good. Most are still not quite sure what to do with the Twitter service. Pamela “The Audacity of Tits” Geller, fearing that her message that Obama plans to kill all the Jews may not have reached every possible person, simply pushes all of her full-cap posts from her blog to Twitter. But some others are using it for wingnut aperçus and touching little anecdotes about their daily lives. In short, the Fort Fricking Knox of comedy gold.
Yo! Yo!! John, he flow off from his crib hopin’ to hit skins and break it down with some conservashizzle beotches or find some new peeps. How do you think that worked out for him?
And speaking of “peeps” . . .
At least she does until her lips get tired, which is usually about two pages into Atlas Shrugged.
And speaking of tired. . . .
Even simple chores become dangerous when you break out the box of Franzia Chillable Red too early in the day.
Ann’s friend also thought Ann’s Tweeter ID was Anal Thouse! Yummy!!
And while we’re on the subject of food. . . .
Lorie, please, please change the channel while you still can. Perhaps “Bizarre Foods” on the Travel Channel might be a better viewing choice for you this evening.
Another highlight of Twitter is that some of the Coffèemate-de-la-Coffèemate of the wingnutosphere have posted brand spanking new photos of themselves on their Twitter sites. Some will be future subjects of photoshop fun. And others can just be presented without further commentary.
Ah, random musings from the self-obsessed. Food for the soul, it is.
Now pardon me while I go purge myself…

I’m glad to see that the bright lights of the wingnutosphere are just as boring and inane as one would expect.
Oh, I hope Twitter dies soon. Except for stephenfry, who is concentrated awesome.
Hey, I try to read a lot of different things.
Hey, me too! Except, you know, I succeed at reading “different things.”
Except for stephenfry…
Oh man, he is the most obnoxious person to follow on Twitter. I don’t need an update once every 5 minutes, man!

Apropos of nothing, really, but I really hate the phrase “comfort food.”

Earlier this year, Conservative Justin Quinn posted his list of the top ten conservative books. I didn’t think it was inclusive enough so here are my top 10 picks of the greatest conservative books of all time.

Lovely! Wingnuts embrace Twitter, just as it falls from cultural grace. Just wait until they find out that it’s also a big hit (for obvious reasons) with hookers & crack-dealers!
Now I can hardly wait for the advent of “LOLnuts” … “INVISIBLE HANDJOB” …”YR PENSION-FUND HAZ A FLAVR” … “OH NOEZ! GRAND JURY!!1!” … “I CAN HAZ MARSHUL LAW NAU?”
Twitter – for people who find e-mail too complicated.
Bolognese! That’s downright un-American!
“Does Sassy Cassie own a single top that has a collar and sleeves?”
They all used to have them but were discarded as her body expanded.

lebowski: that worked. Pretty damn funny. What do people think “nationalize” means?
No idea, but this illustrates a problem. The voting public wants nationalization, but they don’t want to call it “nationalization.”
I guess there’s two ways to go about this: either rehabilitate the term “nationalization” so that it doesn’t carry such negative connotations or make up a new term. I guess I’m more inclined to do the latter.
Also, EVIL SOCIALISM
Hate to say this, but Pammycakes is right about Obama’s secret plot to kill teh Jewz. Why did Obama pass over many competent economics types, both Jewish and Goyish, and name Geithner, Summers et al? Because he knew they would #@$% things up … no matter what Bush & CO #@$%ed things up so badly that Obama wouldn’t be able to fix them, which would cause Obama problems in 2010. Nu? What does Obama do? He oh so fiendishly names Geithner, Summers, et al. to their positions. So instead of criticizing Obama, Bill O. and friends will do what comes naturally to them — they’ll blame Hollywood Elitists who Wage War on Christmas and Apple Pie. And instead of hating on Obama, the Hoi Palloi will just go out and persecute all sorts of people with Hollywood Elitist names like Farbhimmelbergstein.

That Bruni painting of Obama is pretty cool.
Twitter is the perfect medium for wingnugget thought—no space for premises, only conclusions. But it is probably useless for actually organizing people for political purposes. So I very much appreciate how they have convinced themselves that their dominance of twitter will allow them to out-organize Democrats. It truly shunts them off into their own little echo chamber where they can teabag and Cleveland steamer each other.
At last they’ve found something worthy of their time.
Twittering lemmings. They should show their gratitude and get Hew-twit a form fitting Playtex cross his heart. If he has one, that is.

How could anyone believe that that huge 16 oz. glass was full of vodka? How could I be talking normally after one hour of that? That would be enough liquor to kill me! What’s wrong with you people? How obvious must a joke be????

Well people…how obvious must a joke be?
The voting public wants nationalization, but they don’t want to call it “nationalization.”
This is why CalculatedRisk has been pushing Preprivatization.
i know that most of you have cleverly used technology to block all the ads in the sidebar of the corner, but i still haven’t gotten around to figuring out how to do that, so once again i’m going to let you know what you’re missing. this one is pretty smirkable:

um. yes.
This doesn’t particularly surprise me, if you’ve read any of her comment threads (and may God have mercy on your soul if you have).
I love in how the crypto-wingnut women (Althouse, Alkon) attract these types.

Preprivatization
I like that.
“how obvious must a joke be?”

I believe this is relevant to Ann Althouse’s interests.

On analhouse’s american idol vlog, she turns to an invisible person on the couch at one point and asks “what do you think?”
Drinking a 16oz tumbler full of vodka will do that.

And then there’s Top Conservatives on Twitter, which turns this Wingnuts Go Tweet thing into a competition.

I think so.
Example No. 245,398 of How Life is Not Fair.
Lileks’ tweets:
“I like Mark Isham, but having him score cop dramas is like having Pat Metheny score Star Wars. C’mon.”
Mark Isham filmography at wiki. I guessing “The Black Dahlia”? Does it have “a hot bitter curly-haired ex-wife who stilll loves him”?
I guessing “The Black Dahlia”?
Probably Pride & Glory, which takes place in NYC.
Jon Voight – a conservative, so it’s okay for him to like the movie.
Are those tits real?
Hewitt’s are.
Yeah, probably “Pride & Glory”
“The actors in Pride and Glory do their best with this cliched material, but the film is so grim, ugly and miserable that it’s difficult to sympathise with even the most positive characters.”
Sounds like it’s Lileks’ kind of movie.
And then there’s Top Conservatives on Twitter, which turns this Wingnuts Go Tweet thing into a competition.

Actually, there are two functional usages for CXO.
Chief X Officer – he’s the dood with no real skills but he has a GREAT ecstasy connect and brings the goods whenever the situation requires, or it’s friday, or it’s raining. Shit ROCKS!
Less common is Chief Xavier Officer. His role is to provide hot latin dance music, preferably of 1950’s vintage, at all meetings. If the company has both, most meetings last only twenty minutes before the topless dancing begins…

In the taxi, when I asked David Brooks about her amazing arms, he indicated it was time for her to cover up. “She’s made her point,” he said. “Now she should put away Thunder and Lightning.”
Oh thanks, Bobo.
He said the policy crowd here would consider the dress ostentatious. “Washington is sensually avoidant. The wonks here like brains. She should not be known for her physical presence, for one body part.”

Pérez Prado says, “Huh!“
In 1968 George Wallace supporters created the American Independent Party which in 1969 became the American Party which in 1976 split into the American Party (not to be confused with the 1969-1976 American Party) and the American Independent Party (not to be confused with the 1968-1969 American Independent Party). Eight years later, the American Independent Party in California (or part of it) joined the pro-David Duke Populist Party, which unfortunately disintegrated by 1996, but not before a splinter group broke off to form the American Nationalist Union. In 1992, other parts of the California American Independent Party (or maybe the same parts) merged with the Constitution Party, formerly the U.S. Taxpayers Party, but they un-merged in 2008 to instead merge with Alan Keyes’ America’s Independent Party, which had been separate from the similarly named American Independent Party, although they are now one and the same.
In 2010, all these groups will merge into the America’s Independent American Union of Nationalistic Constitutionalogical Independent Natural-born American Independent Taxpayers Party, forming a gigantic shapeless right-wing blob.

And we’re back to discussing Limbaugh again.
Alan Keyes has his own political party? How does he mange that? He can’t ever wipe his own ass.

I cringed reading that article. His self-certainty is so inflated yet so profoundly unsustainable that he will crash hard. He will probably be one of those insufferable policy debaters in high school, go to some echo-chamber Xtian college like Liberty or maybe Hillsdale where he will continue to be feted as a boy-genius, become an obnoxious pundit for some brief period of time … and then IT will happen. I can’t predict what IT will be, maybe a hurried handjob from some dude in a public bathroom or a run-in with oxycodone, but IT will be the first step toward a public and entirely predictable flameout.
His future self will cease to earn my pity and start earning my disdain sometime around the age of 20.
Conservatives: since the election they’ve gone from being led by a first-term, creationism-believing female governor of a sparsely-populated state with a pregnant teenage daughter, and an unlicensed plumber who blatantly lied about buying the company he “worked” for; to being led by an exorcism-performing governor of a slightly larger state named Piyush (who changed his name to “Bobby” after watching Teh Brady Bunch) whose first major TV speech drew was mocked and laughed at by people from across the political spectrum; to being led by a black Republican who criticized the stimulus as “bling,” and who’s planning an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters to the Republican party, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party’s principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings;” to being led by a pill-popping narcissist who cannot be criticized by other conservatives or Republican politicians for fear of being ostracized, and a 14-year-old wannabe preacher who became politically aware while listening to talk radio as an 8-year old.
We live in interesting times.

Plus, none of the press ever show up at the meetings. So if they are brain eaters, they’re not in the union.

You know, a vastly undervalued skill is the ability to create the “elevator message”, that is, to sum up a set of complex events and outcomes and create a clear statement that concisely describes the important arc of the story.

Thanks to Smut Clyde and Mikey for Red Meat comics. I am now considered “strange” by my workmates.
In a binary environment, uncertainty (?) must make the hamsters twitchy.
Washington is sensually avoidant my ASS. They slavered over Clinton’s member for years, and Hillary’s clothing and appearance got more column inches than her policies ever did. Jesus, the press’s big question was whether or not the public could stand to see a woman age in front of us.
If you ever have so little in your life, Another (do you mind if I call you Another? Thanks), if you are ever so bereft of real existence that you find yourself wondering “just exactly who is this mikey”?

i agree with you guys and you say some funny things, but i’m concerned that if we liberals don’t adapt to new technology we are going to be left behind. it’s in our best interest to start participating in twitter and to listen more and mock less to what the right has to say. there is a lot we can learn and it is in our own best interest to be more willing to compromise.
concerned liberal, you forgot to say you wouldn’t be back.

So going from one right wing twitterer to another I discovered that Allahpundit and Patterico are at war with Ace and Pasty Godlstein and they’re all at war with Michael Steele and Davids Frum and Brooks. I spent just enough time in various comment sections to not be surprised that some are being called pussies, others are said to be faggots and worst of all, some party or parties are guilty of Northeastern elitism. I think the elitistas must be Frum and Brooks but it’s hard to be sure. Here and there it’s suggested that this is all playing into Obama’s hands but that has no impact on the beast’s expansion. It’s growing at least as fast as Smut Clyde’s flushed foreskin and it’s easily the most incoherent blog war that has ever been fought so I can’t be any more specific about the particulars but it seems to boil down to whether or not Rush should be careful when he speaks or should he just say whatever he wants no matter how inflammatory because shut up stupid liberals. Why can’t wingnuts be considerate enough to have a blog war about black and white issues like the morality of photoshopping giant sammiches into the hands of horrible people so’s I know WTF is going on?
there is a lot we can learn and it is in our own best interest to be more willing to compromise.
I think we’ve learned quite a bit about the Republican priorities and agenda the last eight years.
Mikey, thanks. I have on occasions wondered “Who is this mikey of which we speak” and have consoled myself with glancing at this dude. You may call me Another or you may call me Zimmie but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.

I vaguely recall an essay by Avram Davidson — it might have been a foreword to “The Island Under the Earth” about ‘reverse plagiarism’ in the late classical era (5th / 6th-cent. CE). Basically he describes a fashion for minor scholars to publish their works under the name of some previous and conveniently-dead author, in an attempt to give them more credibility. Thereby muddying the waters of scholarship with authors now known as ‘Pseudo-Dionysus’ and Pseudo-This and Pseudo-That.
There seems to be a similar phenomenon currently at work among conservatives, judging from all the spurious, apocryphal bullshit being circulated. I mean, there is no end of fake quotations attributed to George Orwell or Abraham Lincoln; and then there is this list of 8 cultural stages, fabricated in the 1950s and then attributed to a long-dead Scottish historian by the name of Alexander Fraser Tytler.
The thread on the subject earlier linked by Snorghagen was far funnier.
Wow. Just when I think the trolls can’t get twittier (twitterier?) some douche like Alex comes along and proves me wrong.
Alex, I hear Somalia is lovely this time of year, if you’re a halfwit Randian. You should get the first flight out. Get a load of that free market in action.
Sorry for addressing Teh Troll. I just popped in to see what was going on, and saw that Alexander just spouted the one line that really makes me want to go midieval on someone’s ass, to (t)wit:
until parasites find then can vote themselves free money from the public treasury, which leads to dictatorship and bondage.
The conservatives are actually busy mugging themselves.
Reminds me of Jim Carrey beating the shit out of himself in Liar, Liar.
And JUST as fun to watch….
until parasites find then can vote themselves free money from the public treasury,
But the Bush admin is gone, now.
The banksters seem to still want the free money though. Guess the banks can’t operate without public largesse. Makes them the big welfare whores, doesn’t it?
dictatorship and bondage.
According to Wikipedia, Dyanne Thorne has a doctorate in comparative religion. “Today she and her husband Howard (both had roles in five of the same movies) are ordained ministers, who own an alternative wedding business in Las Vegas, Nevada. They conduct scenic outdoor weddings as an alternative to a traditional wedding chapel.“
“Alternative Wedding Business”.
Really? Hmmm.
No shit?
I think I want to start an Alternative Wedding Business. I’d do it in Nevada if I had to. Just not Reno. I’m pretty sure I’m still Persona Non Grata after the great window breaking episode.
But in the Alternative Wedding Chapel of mikey there’d be a couple, er, unusual rules. Hey, we’re nothing if not alternative. I’m thinking it would be only reasonable, if not appropriate, for the entire wedding party and the marrying authority (that would pretty much be me) to engage in group sex before the climactic “you may kiss the bride” is uttered to an unclothed, disheveled and sweat soaked couple…
mikey
mikey brings back le droit de seigneur, alt-stylee.
Well, sorta.
Except in this case its the “Right of the LAST night”.
And it’s part of the package…
Huh heh heh hunh… Package…

I discovered that Allahpundit and Patterico are at war with Ace and Pasty Godlstein and they’re all at war with Michael Steele and Davids Frum and Brooks. I spent just enough time in various comment sections to not be surprised that some are being called pussies, others are said to be faggots and worst of all, some party or parties are guilty of Northeastern elitism.
Like this?
Psssshhhhh.
That ain’t no brawl.
That just looks like happy hour at chez mikey on any given thursday…

With regard to the internecine wingnut squabble over Limbaugh’s words and his role in the movement and to what degree wingnuts are being divided and conquered by Emperor Rahm the Sneaky Liberal Socialist, now currently partially available on Twitter, maybe Going John Galt is what they end up doing to each other.
One can hope.
Going John Guilt just doesn’t work on those guys.
Going “John Galt”?
What, is that some kind of euphemism?
Hey, dood, pull over for a sec. I need to go John Galt….
mikey
What, is that some kind of euphemism?
As in: Limbaugh just went John Galt all over the Republicans’ electoral prospects in 2010.
Or: Bush went John Galt on the Constitution, and wiped his Galt crack with the economy.
Or: Although Ayn Rand is widely believed to have written the novel Atlas Shrugged, the truth is that she just smeared her John Galt on the page and sold it to a bunch of Galt-breathed fools.
Sorry. I think I have Jonathon Krohn’s disease.
Fun from Frum: “Why Rush Is Wrong.”
I think I have Jonathon Krohn’s disease.
The stick up my bum is itching something dreadful. The doctor says I have Irritable Dowel Syndrome.
What exactly does that mean?
Eating spicy Korean food makes me go John Galt something fierce.

Hey, Adolph Titler, you still around? ‘Cause you’re full of shit:
Who penned the above words? If one were to put one’s faith in the reliability of the internet, the obvious answer would be Alexander Tytler. Or Alexander Tyler. Or Arnold Toynbee. Or Lord Thomas Macaulay. Or…
The truth is that despite their frequent use, the above text actually has its origins in two separate and independent quotes, and the author of the first half is, to date, unknown. With regard to the first quoted paragraph, the Library of Congress’ Respectfully Quoted writes, “Attributed to ALEXANDER FRASER TYTLER, LORD WOODHOUSELEE. Unverified.” The quote, however, appears in no published work of Tytler’s. And with regard to the second, the same book says “Author unknown. Attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Unverified.”
(snip)
But the person who appears to be the actual author of this passage is none of the men named above. They were not born from the mouth or pen of a political leader or historian or famous author. Rather, they would seem to be the words of Henning Webb Prentis, Jr., President of the Armstrong Cork Company.
In a speech entitled “Industrial Management in a Republic,” delivered in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria at New York during the 250th meeting of the National Conference Board on March 18, 1943, Prentis had this to say about

Snorghagen sussed this out back in October (http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/13322.html/comment-page-2#comment-711757). Put a cork in it, son.
Sweeter words I’ve never read.
Speaking of wingnuts:
CBS reports as part of their coverage of the IL pastor who was shot:
Could you imagine if that kind of shit was happening at, say, hip-hop concerts? We’d never hear the end of how the reason it was going on was because of bad values.

I’m thinking (no, I’m really not hoping, really) that church shootings are going to be the new school shootings.
Don’t forget the Colorado church shooting in 2007, either.
Althouse tweets that she is having fun with vegetables. For the love of god pass the brain bleach!!!!
From Ann’s Twittering:
Please forgive me for making a LOLcat of myself.
Would it be possible to do so?
WTF? the link oh, never …
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-had-to-do-it.html
Seriously, roll over the non-link @10:25. It goes blue, but no link?
Got to admit that it makes no sense to me. Admittedly I did not try very hard to see what she was spewling about. However the comments are the true comedy goldmine, as usual.
One can seldom go wrong examining the comments. Idiocy on ice.
Wingnuts a-twitter…. the new Kerners Are Go?!
I agree with you guys but the fact is Alex is right. My heart is with the liberals still but the facts bear out conservative positions. We should all re-evaluate in light of Obama’s tragic failures.
That Muir bit is fucking hilarious. Galt, John Galt. BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Hey youse fucking Objectivists, James Bond is a Government Agent, who has as his highest purposes in life – protecting the parasites and saving the undeserving world. He cashes a government paycheck for meddling in the affairs of successful independent businessmen. If James Bond was in the world of Atlas Shrugged, he’d be putting 9mm rounds into John Galt’s delicate little head.
The fact is, I’m going John Galt and refusing to tip waiters. Wolverines!
I don’t know, DKW.
A bunch of whiny businessman who have isolated themselves in a valley, to live cut off from the rest of the world?
why would James Bond (or anybody else) care?
They would die of starvation while arguing about who should clean the toilets. Sounds like more of a job for the Red Cross. You know, those parasitic liberal organizations.
The fact is, you liberals will miss me when I go John Galt and live off the grid.
Speaking of going “off the grid”, what were the folks at Galt’s Gulch going to eat or drink or do with their copious quantities of waste and excrement?
I’m guessing that the question answers itself.
Who is going to provide Galt’s Gulch with Twitter access?!
I’m thinking (no, I’m really not hoping, really) that church shootings are going to be the new school shootings.
How so?

And if The The USA Today says it, you know it’s true!
The swirling colors. . .
So many Americans claim no religion at all (15%, up from 8% in 1990), that this category now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists.
I can’t help thinking that that’s for the same reason that Republican Party membership is down – many religious people acted like such triumphalist assholes for the last 8 years that it was majorly offputting. I can’t get the graphics to work on that site (workplace blockage of some sort) – are the liberal denominations off as far as the conservative ones?

It looks like the ‘conservative’ ones are going regional.
Just like the Republicans.
Quick, someone tell Pammycakes. We desperately need more good Americans to join the anti-jihad movement before the whole country is Muslimified by Islamocommies like Obama.
The American Religious Identification Surevey 2008
How Americans describe their religious identity, 1990 — 2008:
Mainline Protestant -5.8%
Baptist -3.5%
Catholic -1.1%
Christian, generic -0.6%
Jewish -0.6%
That’s a biased poll done by a biased group and it got biased numbers. Sorry, Charlie.

All this Twitterings has done is confirm for me the basic fact I gleaned from the website itself:
Twitter is for Twits.
Blart.
Orthodox Jews don’t Go Galt.
They Go Glat.
Thanks, you’ve been great. Don’t forget to veal your waitress.
Given that evangelicals don’t think any behavior modification is required for salvation, why in the world should any one care what they call themselves?
Why shouldn’t people get to keep more of their own money?
Chunky Cassie went to town
Eating backwards upside down.
Take all your money and move to a deserted Pacific Island, dude. See how all that paper works out for you.
Why shouldn’t people get to keep more of their own money?
Ronald Reagan said it was a bad idea.
Do you hate having a government take away all your hard-earned money? Do you have a having a government, period? Do you want to be able to hack up annoying people with a machete? Then you, friend, have what it takes to be a Somali warlord!
Come on down to sunny Somalia, where you keep all the money you can lay your hands on! You’re just an AK-47 and an RPG away from financial freedom! Be the first guy on your block to be the last guy on your block!
Libertarian paradise awaits! Throw off the trappings of civilization and experience life as it is meant to be lived!
Just answer the question. Should people get to keep more of their own money, or not?
Why should their hard earned money be re-distributed?
I don’t know why I have to sit here and squirt gas all day. If I was on my own, I could go wherever I wanted, without being burdened by the rest of this smelly old car.
Question for the Liberals
Shonda for the goyim.
Bank robbers should certainly keep their money. They just figured out a way to game the system, like Tigerhawk does with Medicare reimbursement schedules. Their creativity should be rewarded.
MzNicky, there’s one place that religion is still playing a major role: separating the rubes from their money.
When Jason Green wanted his team of financial advisers to sell more of Stanford International Bank’s certificates of deposit, he knew where to turn: Proverbs 13:11.
“Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows,” Green wrote, citing the biblical passage in a 2005 e-mail to his U.S.-based “Superstars” team. He was pushing them to sell $62.5 million of CDs in three months for the chance to earn a trip to Zurich to meet the company’s founder, R. Allen Stanford.
Interviews with 21 current and former employees over three years show that religious faith, personal ties and the iron grip of Stanford himself created a culture that helped promote the bank’s CDs, the center of what the Securities and Exchange Commission calls an $8 billion “massive Ponzi scheme.”

I know our house is on fire. But why should I allow the fire department to squirt water all over everything? My room isn’t on fire. It’ll get my stuff all wet.
I have half a mind to “go Galt” and *leave the house.* That’ll show you socialists.
Man, there is a lot of stupid in the world. their own money. Funny, I don’t see their picture on it – buncha old white guys last time I looked. What? It’s a guarantee from the banking system? Well, what makes the banks honor the guarantee in the same way? A mutual system of cooperation called government? Really? You mean there is no banking fairy!
Libertarians are objectively anti-civilization.
Larry Summers said the current tax structure effectively provides a $10,000 per family subsidy from those making less than $250k/year to those making over $250k/year (i.e. the richies aren’t paying their fair share of taxes).
Why should wealth be re-distributed?
What is the “fair share” they should pay? How do you define it? How is a “fair share” determined?
How can it provide a “subsidy”?
The money the wealthy make is their money, if they keep it, it hasn’t been redistirbuted.
BTW, Bush was not a conservative.
I can suck my own cock. Beat that, Liberals!
Mmmmmm, I taste GOOD.
Actually, the rich should just forget about trading in money and trade in commodities instead – I mean the real commodities. Paris Hilton should haul truckloads of soybeans around with her to pay her bar tab. Forget about using paper money or black AMEX cards – those are all part of the system. Go off the grid, go Galt! Pay for your groceries with…er…groceries.
The money the wealthy make is their money, if they keep it, it hasn’t been redistirbuted.
So you agree that bank robbers should keep their money. Interesting.
It’s easy! Just put a few paltry thousands in a campaign, and a legislator will pass tax law that makes the poor pay for roads and bridges! I get to keep all my money, and free infrastructure besides! Win-win baby!
You don’t own money if it is taken by force or fraud.
it would also follow that identity thieves should keep the money they appropriate. It’s their money now, after all.
You don’t own money if it is taken by force or fraud.
Says who? How many divisions do you have?
You don’t own a lollipop if it’s taken by force or fraud, either.
Please, folks, stop feeding the trolls. There are only 2-3 of them, and they keep coming back because they get fed here.
Are you kids going to force me to get out the “troll feeder” hats and make you put them on? You know who I’m talking to here.
You don’t own money if it is taken by force or fraud.
WTF?
You know what else? Money doesn’t really “grow”. You can bury it in the ground and water it, but it’ll be the same size when you dig it up.
Stupid libs. Can’t you tell the difference between money earned by people voluntarily paying for goods and services you provided and money taken by holding a gun to someone’s head?
If there is anyone who has anything in common with the bank robber, it’s the government. Like the criminal, the government steals money through the threat of force.
Damn, I love the taste of my own sperm in the morning.
You know, you shouldn’t have to pay rent either.
If the landlord throws you out and sues you for back rent, he is just forcing you to give up your money.
After all, what do you get for your rent? A place to live? But that is yours by birthright!!
Communism, baby!! We all own everything!!!
Then we all can all keep all of our money, while we’re sitting in the mud.
God what a putz. Sorry Tintin.
Who won the Cup Final in 1957?
Now I’m sticking my finger up my butt so I can have desert.
Why should their hard earned money be re-distributed?
It shouldn’t. As Lincoln said, to paraphrase, labor should be above capital.
So we should increase the capital gains tax to a rate commensurate with that which the highest salaried income is taxed.
Ron Kuby just interviewed the author of this article on a potential Twitter Bubble.
Time again for my favorite host comment ever:
“Please, please stop feeding the trolls, particularly unemployed losers like [Question for Liberals], who has nothing to do but troll blogs and apparently never leaves his house since all his comments, 24/7, come from the same residential cable account.”

The intellectual property laws have been changed dramatically over the last few decades, largely at the behest of the Disney corporation, which, it must be said, made most of its “bank” out of characters which were in the public domain.
Guess I have to grab all those Clark Ashton Smith stories now, before some corporate hack scrubs them off the net.
