Obama’s Olympic Failure Will Test the Washington Press Corps
- Saying that Obama’s failure to bring the Olympics to Chicago was humiliating, embarrassing, and emasculating as well as proof of the administration’s utter incompetence cannot possibly be seen as partisan. Yet no one in the Washington press corps has made this completely non-partisan and objective point. This clearly demonstrates that everyone in the Washington press corps is a partisan Obama worshipper.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
A screen grab from John Gielgud’s guest shot on Golden Girls?
Oooooh. I see what he did there.
Of course, even if you were to accept his argument on its face, it raises the question of why someone writing in The Weekly Standard would find it a negative to be partisan.
Why did you keep calling Betty all night, Fred?
WHO THE FUCK IS BETTY?
If he can’t deliver on a vote of the IOC, does he really have the clout to pressure the mullahs in Iran into giving up their nuclear ambitions? Maybe not.
Yes, he really wrote that.
Barnes:
A hate hard-on, however, should last forever.
Sorry Jane, but Fred’s found a new lover.
Is this all they got? They’re so pathetically desperate.
And pathetically transparent: “he can’t blame Bush for this one!”
Er, feeling powerless, are you? (Snicker)
Fred, the Mars Rovers have just radioed back they can smell your desperation all the way to Mars.
Just sayin’,…
And it does not smell like victory.
If he can’t deliver on a vote of the IOC, does he really have the clout to pressure the mullahs in Iran into giving up their nuclear ambitions? Maybe not.
So what? Does he think Obama should have threatened the IOC with sanctions or maybe just gone straight in with the “shock and awe”? Although, IMO the sanctions and shock and awe might be acceptable if he were to immediately turn to the Repugs in Congress and say :You’re next.”
OT, just another tea party sign
I thought President Obama was an all powerful cult of personality international mind-melder who hypnotized massive throngs of Europeans with his very gaze and celebrity like movies star presence?
Now he can’t even use his Jedi mind powers to win a simple Olympics bid?
Teh horror, teh horror.

What kind of hapless fool spends that kind of political capital without first being assured that the Olympics are locked up for the USA?
He’s looking more and more like Carter every day. And with the government option dead and Cristie and McDonnell poised to win the off-year races big, conservatives are on top dominating the narrative.
Should we really be surprised they didn’t choose the USA, though? I mean, libs have been telling the world for years what an awful country America is. So why would anyone want to hold the Olympics in such an awful, awful country?
But God, it was SO sweet when I heard the news. Eliminated in the first round! hahahaha!
If he can’t deliver on a vote of the IOC, does he really have the clout to pressure the mullahs in Iran into giving up their nuclear ambitions? Maybe not.
Well shit, sounds like Fred Barnes would like to see Mitt Romney appointed ambassador to Iran.
Really? Eliminated in the first round? That’s just pathetic!
What do the thongs of massive, hypnotized Europeans have to do with anything?
It is very Carter-esque to spend that kind of political capital without first being assured the Olympics are locked up. What a fool.
Losing on health care, losing on this…welcome back, Carter! Welcome back!
By the way, the Republicans are poised to make a clean sweep in the off year elections, too. Conservatives are on top, dominating the narrative.

If Barry The Ant-Christ Hitler/Stalin can’t even handle the IOC, how can we ever expect him to pull off the whole Armeggedon thing.

Perhaps you are a bit to hard on yourself. Perhaps.
“Man, it was so sweet to hear the news that Chicago was not only eliminated, but in the first round! So much for Michelle Obama’s “sacrifice”, eh liberals?”
What a sad pathetic life you must lead.
Barnes says Obama is “pushing hyper-liberal policies.” I’m confused – is he talking about one of the girls, or maybe Bo? Cuz he sure ain’t talking about Barack.
pathetically transparent: “he can’t blame Bush for this one!”
Actually no, he can. Bush fully endorsed Chicago’s bid to get the Olympics when he was president, right? So Obama tried but failed to clean up after another one of his predecessor’s failed policies (of supporting the radical terrorist mullahs of the failed terrorist terror state of Chicago).
If Barry The Ant-Christ Hitler/Stalin can’t even handle the IOC, how can we ever expect him to pull off the whole Armeggedon thing.
In the Book of Revelation, Nostradamus said “the Beast will rise from the City of broad-Shouldered Hog-slaying and summon unto it all the mightiest Men of the various Nations.” So I guess Obama is off the hook for the whole Antichrist thing.

What a delightfully piquant idea for stuffing the turkey this Thanksgiving.
Man, it was so sweet to hear the news that Chicago was not only eliminated
Please do explain to us why this doesn’t constitute hating America and wanting her to fail? At the Olympics, do you only root for US athletes who were born in red states? Inquiring minds don’t want to know.

How can anyone not see that the IOC decision was comparable to Waterloo, Stalingrad, and the Cretaceous–Tertiary Extinction Event all rolled into one ultra-colossal white-hot cataclysmic mass of super destruction that will utterly shatter the political power of all non-wingnuts everywhere till the end of time? How?

You know who else was on the cover of Time magazine?
“Oh? What’s that? Beck has higher ratings than ever and was even on the cover of Time Magazine? Must suck to be you!”
You know who else had high ratings? Hitler!
I blame Obama.
PENIS?
What are you going to say when Republicans sweep the off-year elections in a month?
Bookmark it, libs!
Heh, we’re on the same page Rusty.
I’m concerned that, without the Bush bogeyman, Vermont will elect a Republican lieutenant governor.
Glenn Beck does indeed have high ratings. Plan 9 is also still a popular movie.
When Obama fails, America wins.
If, when 2012 rolls around, all Americans have no jobs, homes, cars, health care, savings, or retirement funds they will all be winners. Well, if they manage to keep their guns they will be.
Way OT, sorry, but this LA Times opinion piece is a great read:
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-gabler2-2009oct02,0,7817347.story
Also, the WWF is still very popular. and “According to Jim” was on the air for many years for some reason, also.
I’m going to assume this particular disemvoweling was an oversight and will not take it personally.
[Tintin adds: Ooops. Sorry]
Just because the N.Y. Mets sell a lot of tickets doesn’t mean they don’t also suck donkey balls, also.
Also, the WWF is still very popular.
And just like Glenn Beck it consists of a bunch of phony blood, sweat and tears, a lot of incoherent yelling and absolutely no substance.
You know who else contained absolutely no substance?
HITLER LIGHT. Tastes great, less filling.
You’d have to pump an awful lot of substance into Glenn Beck just to get to Beck Light.
Boy that Beck sure does know how to draw a crowd.
Apparently Troofie is running out of his “endless supply of IP addresses”. This is the first time I’ve seen him here in weeks.
Alternately, you know who else was on the cover of Time ?
The Weekly Standard covered up their initial response to Olympic decision.
This is what the Washington press corps ought to be reporting.
Actual conservative views, rather than the propaganda conservatives want published.
~
Great LA Times piece – thanks, itwasn’tme. I think Gabler’s absolutely right, and it’s a pretty depressing proposition.
The Olympics have been held in America 4 times since 1980. They’ve never been in Brazil, nor even in the entire South American continent. So really, there couldn’t have been any reason other than Obama hate.
Just face it, Obama is well on his way to being President of 30% of Americans.
Tee hee hee!
As Greg Saunders over at This Modern World pointed out, the second-to-last time the Olympics was in the US, some right-wing fucknut with a hair across his ass about socialism tried to blow the place up. Now that the US is absolutely crawling with loud, angry, right-wing fucknuts who see socialists in their Corn Flakes, keep shooting people they don’t like, and have been making a big show of carrying guns around, I can see why the IOC might be leery of giving the Olympics to the nominal hometown of the president they hate.
Michael Froomkin, Professor at the University of Miami School of Law, is convinced that the “the same stupid anti-visitor policy that is destroying American higher education” also sunk Chicago’s Olympic bid.
Also.
~
Shall we start calling ourselves “The Sane 30%?”
Apparently our very unwelcoming foreigner entrance requirements didn’t come into the IOC decision…according to the insane 70%.
Also worth bearing in mind that with the Beijing Olympics fresh in everyone’s mind, people are tired of Olympiads with political implications. Rio seemed like a safe, easy choice. Nothing wrong with Madrid either, but that would make 2 European Olympiads in a row, coming after London.
I honestly don’t understand what all the fuss is about. The prez tried to throw some jobs and money to his old home town. It was Rio’s turn. WTF is the BIG DEAL? He didn’t fail. This isn’t a humiliation.
“You win some, you lose some” seems to be a concept conservatards are unfamiliar with…which explains why they’re hysterical, shrill, petty and irretrievably stupid these days. I’ve met two-year-olds with better impulse control.
OK. I’ll be sure to whip myself into a spittle-throwing tizzy over nothing now–conservatards taught me how!
By the way Fred, even Chicago not getting the 2016 Olympics disqualifies Obama from being the 44th President of the United States of America.
m,kay?
er, should be a ‘doesn’t’ in front of that ‘disqualifies’.
Which should actually be a ‘disqualify’.
oy
I second this — but don’t wade into the comments section unless you’re the type who enjoys snacking on ground glass robustly seasoned with cyanide; it’s an explosion of hate, ignorance and lunacy.
Roger Ebert attempted a similar essay, but while his heart may be in the right place he’s simply not very intelligent (nor much of a writer.)
As someone tried to say upthread, 30% would still be a significant improvement over the final tallies for the Bush administration. Math, like facts, is brutally hostile to trolls.
So very right and pertinent, which is why no one in the MSM will touch it. Why not just throw all caution to the wind and hold the Olympics in Somalia, for fuck’s sake?
Sorry to be so earnest. I’ll be funnier after a chicken sandwich and a nice beefsteak tomato — I hope.
Shall we start calling ourselves “The Sane 30%?”
I think we’re going to have to wait for his approval ratings to fall below 50% first.
I suppose we should be equally concerned that the leaders of Japan and Spain are utter and disastrous failures, too.
This failed Olympic bid is just more evidence of how Bill Ayers community organizer Chicago style politics is destroying America, and it would have destroyed us even worse if the bid had succeded, when we all know this would mean Chicago being entirely taken over by the Tony Rezko / ACORN mafia. Or something.
Lots of people have been and will be on the cover of TIME. I fully expect to see my air-brushed visage there some day. What the caption will say I can’t imagine.
Will someone kindly explain to me why I should pay any heed to what a shitheel like Fred Barnes thinks about anything?
He obviously has a sinecure job in the media for life. I just want to know for the life of me what the hell has he done to make his opinions worth broadcasting over the public airwaves while I hunt and peck my views on a keyboard.
I freely admit my take on things can be as half-assed as anyone’s. By that admission, I should at least get more points for honesty than Freddie Barnes.
Any IOC members that think Rio is the safer of the cities in question might enjoy the New Yorker article this week on the bloody anarchy in the favelas. Somewhat hair-raising. Sub required on line, I still get the dead tree version via the mail man.
When was the last time Fred Barnes was right about anything? He has a very Kristolesque record for accuracy.
. . . or should that be Kristolian?
You almost feel sorry for the Rethug trolls — their party is only slightly more popular than death by stomach cancer and is led by drug-abusers, child-rapists, and terrorists-to-be.
When Beck ends his life at the center of attention in a big, hard, humming chair, no one is going to mourn, and that’s gotta hit the trolls hard.
If Glenn Beck were to have a complete mental breakdown on the air, how would anyone notice?
Up here in the frechified parts of canuckistan, polling is generally broken down into Quebec versus the ROC (rest of Canada.) To get an accurate sense of US polls, I personally think it’s necessary to pull out the deep southern numbers and compare them to the ROA. It’s accurate and it’s persuasive and it shows how far outside the norm the Red State haters are in a nice gentle mathematical way.
That said, I don’t actually know what I’m talking about in terms of what his numbers are. 60% give or take, I think.
Also Fred Barnes is very respectable looking, which is better than the real thing, apparently.
Would he cry or start writing gibberish on a chalk board? This is central to my point.
All Presidents should be able to bring an Olympics to the United States. An Olympics happens every 4 years, and coincidentally, Presidents are elected every four years.
Ergo, a President who can’t bring an Olympics to the United states during his term is a failure. No other measure of Presidential success, whether it be # of Jobs Created (3 million for George W. Bush, worse than any President since Ford), wage growth (a net loss for George W. Bush) % growth of GDP (any gains during the Bush Presidency were erased by the Recession), scientific achievements during said Presidency (NONE for the Bush Administration), wars won (0 out of 2 for Bush), or any other objective measurement is just useless.
It’s all about the Olympics, unless Obama had won the Olympics for the United States. In which case, it would be no big deal and something anybody coulda done.
Conservatives: master of the resizeable, movable goal posts.
“You win some, you lose some” seems to be a concept conservatards are unfamiliar with…
They are more familiar with their current dictum, “You win some, otherwise shit in the punch bowl.”
What the caption will say I can’t imagine.
“Described by neighbours as ‘Quiet; kept to himself’.”
“pushing hyper-liberal policies.”
Are there any words that this man keeps using, that mean what he thinks they mean?
Conservatives: master of the resizeable, movable goal posts.
They have to keep moving the goal posts to make room for all the straw men.
No. Modern conservatism is an endless series of complete mental breakdowns.
Are there any words that this man keeps using, that mean what he thinks they mean?
Not only that, he misspelled shit.
Lots of people have been and will be on the cover of TIME. I fully expect to see my air-brushed visage there some day. What the caption will say I can’t imagine.
Except for the airbrushing, it has happened. Like you, I’m sorry that my TIME cover was the single lamest thing ever done by anybody anywhere.
Fred, the Mars Rovers have just radioed back they can smell your desperation all the way to Mars.
The Mars Rovers lost all credibility when they lost 2-1 against Venus United, a second-league team.
This was in the World Ceres.
If Glenn Beck were to have a complete mental breakdown on the air, how would anyone notice?
His shtick has always reminded me of a meth’d-out squirrel. (Don’t ask how I know.)
Maybe the Republicans are just cheering because brown South American peoples finally get to have their own Olympics. Did you ever think of that? I bet you didn’t. Libtards.
He’d get paid more.
From PeeJ’s link:
Oliver visited a Navajo reservation, where an almost-extinct group of American Indians live.
The Daily Telegraph is not strong on demographics, or facts. They specialise more in dehumanising language like ‘extinct’.
I find it both sad and amusing that the Liberal Left in America is complaining about how virtrolic and mean spirited the Political conversation has become. Since the 1950’s the Liberal Left has been chipping away at the American belief system. In many ways the Liberal Left is behaving like little children, “I know what is best! or I am the smart one do as I say!”. Well Liberal Left here we are and now YOU are complaining about what is occuring in this country? Your insistence that our social fabric needs to change that are way of thinking needs to match what is going on in Europe (socialized healthcare), or South America (supporting dictators like Hugo Chavez). America is a unique country neither the Conservatives or our founding fathers thought our system was or is perfect but what we have is arguably the best of what is out there in this world. But the Liberal Left wanted to change the polictical and social landscape of this country. Well Liberal Left you have succeeded in changing America I hope you are happy with what YOU have wrought! So when I hear, read or see the Liberal Left crying over how mad and upset the MAJORITY of AMERICANS are at the direction this country is going I have to sigh and shake my head in sorrow. What did you expect Liberal Left? This what you get when YOU attempt to change what is arguably the best system of Government and society in the world.
Liberals have helped create what they are now calling Right Wing Polictical Fundementalism. So for me I find it both sad and amusing that the Liberals are now crying about how virtolic the Polictical conversation has become. Case in point when the movement was started by the Liberal Left to stop prayer in schools, or when they insisted the pledge of alligenace be stopped. In each case the ACLU and various organs of the Liberal Left steped in to champion the cause. Now here we are the Liberal Left is now crying “Oh My Why is there so much hatred against us?” Why you ask? Because YOU since the 1950’s have systematically altered many of the social underpinings of American Culture. I know that at the time many of these underpinings seemed frivolous or unnessecary to you. Perhaps the people who championed the cause to stop or change them truly thought what they were doing was good for America. But now some 40 years later we see how badly mistaken they were. In many ways those Americans were like little children who as they grow up think “I know what is best I am the smart one”. They go out and alter or change things without thinking what will be the long term consequence of doing this? I am not saying the Liberal Left is entirely to blame for all of this but they have played a big part in changing the social and polictical landscape of America.
Why is no-one paying attention to the obvious and most pressing concern of the matter?
Clearly the US goverment mind control rays are inferior to brazilian goverment mind control rays, even when utilized from short distance.
Can’t you see what a danger this sort of mind control ray gap can lead to?
US kids could start learning foreign languages like portuguese, or start dancing samba?
US MUST NOT LOSE THE MIND CONTROL RAY GAP!!!!
This was in the World Ceres.
OUCH.
virtolic alligenace
I don’t think those words mean what you think, mom.
virtolic alligenace
I don’t think those words mean what you think, mom.
Or, you know, majority, but hey at least it’s a perfectly cromulent word.
The Daily Telegraph is not strong on demographics, or facts.
Since the Navajo are the largest (or possibly second largest as the Cherokee Nation has been climbing fast in recent years) tribe in the US with over 200,000 members (as well as the largest population of native speakers for any American Indigenous language), I think that would be a safe bet.
I don’t think those words mean what you think, mom
Or anything else for that matter.
Um, USA Apple PIe Mom,
Guess who built that perfect America you was living in 40 years ago? Hint, the initials F. D. and R are involved. And no it’s not Ford.
Take those shoes off and get back in the kitchen, Mom!
Shouldn’t you be pregnant again? No, I don’t remember how to do it either. What do you mean, look it up in a book? Unless there’s a diagram in the bible, I’ll have to turn you in as a communist.
or when they insisted the pledge of alligenace be stopped.
Gee, I was so convinced USA Apple Pie Mom was a parody troll, but when someone’s grasp of actual facts is so secure I just have to believe she’s sincere.
Dear USA Apple Pie Mom,
I’m afraid your grasp of basic spelling, punctuation and grammar is so substandard that we have no choice but to deport you.

Parody troll is good.
when the movement was started by the Liberal Left to stop prayer in schools
FAIL. You can pray as much as you want in school. (Fat lot of good that’ll do you anyway.)
The fact is, although I would never advocate for it, some people say it is indeed likely that a military coup may take place once enough patriots tire of the constitution being shredded and far left policies destroying our freedom and way of life.
Obama is illegetimate. he cheated. I heard you liberals saying Bush cheated for years and years, but I don’t think he did, and even if he did, it was nothing like the theft that took place last November. ACORN did it. Obama’s Brownshirts must be defunded and disbanded if freedom is to return to USA.
a military coup may take place once enough patriots tire of the constitution being shredded
Indeed, like President Obama I enjoy a large bowl of Nabisco Shredded Constitution every morning with a sliced banana and low-fat milk.
A hearty breakfast keeps men like us alert enough to switch back and forth between Fascism and Communism as necessary with none of that annoying cognitive dissonance one hears so much about these days.
Gary, I’m just curious: do you actually put on a dress when you’re typing as USA Apple Pie Smiling Baby Partridge in a Pear Tree Mom? That strikes me as something you’d do.
Ain’t no one gonna stop the Pledge of Oleaginous!
The fact is, I fantasize about a military coup because, like most of my kind, I’m too big a fucking pussy to join the military, and don’t know anybody in it, but they give me the Bad Feeling so I trust them and also USA #1 also.

If the liberal left created the current culture in America Fred Barnes would be picking up scraps of paper with a sharp stick in the park, Glenn Beck would be a character in Looney Toons cartoons, and Rush Limbaugh would be a blimp hovering over football stadiums. As long as there was fact checking Fox News would be the weather channel, and the mainstream media would only be allowed to sell tropical fish.
Yes, because the decision had absolutely nothing to do with the difficulties faced by anyone not from a handful of our closest allies faces trying to enter the country.

Anyone who is from one of that handful of closest allies still faces difficulties when trying to enter the US. That Thinkprogress report makes it sound as if visitors eligible for the Visa Waiver program are exempt from the finger-printing-&-iris-scanning convicted-criminal procedure. Sadly, no. Sod that for a game of soldiers.

I know this is going to sound pretty controversial, buuuuuut … seems to me like a few of the brainier neocons (that’s the controversial part) deduced that there was no way in hell the US was going to get another Globo-Jocks, Inc. gig this soon, so they did their best to make the Chicago bid seem more important than the moon landing & the fall of the Berlin Wall combined. Nice scam — unless you completely chump the payoff by reacting not with crocodile tears but with high-fives & giggles.
At least under Bush the wingnuts could still do a competent ratfuck – now they can’t even do THAT right either. Sheesh.
Editing blog posts to remove references to wingnut “cheers” is pretty sad considering that said cheers are already out on the Intertronz on video.

Now here we are the Liberal Left is now crying “Oh My Why is there so much hatred against us?” Why you ask? Because YOU since the 1950’s have systematically altered many of the social underpinings of American Culture. I know that at the time many of these underpinings seemed frivolous or unnessecary to you.
So, what, it’s all Eisenhower’s fault?
a military coup may take place once enough patriots tire of the constitution being shredded
doesn’t a military coup require further constitution-shreddage? Isn’t this a bit a dilemma?
In an earlier thread someone (I haz a lazy) made the point that Wingnuts are now all just stalkers on the verge of walking right through a restraining order. If they can’t have their Merka, then by Jeebus no one else can have theirs. If that means burning the fucker down, then that’s what they’ll do. Unbalanced? Obsessive? Controlling? Check, check, check.
So, what, it’s all Eisenhower’s fault?
Well, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was on his watch and that really is what they are bitching about, now isn’t it?

Speaking as an engineer, you really want to be systematic when altering underpinnings. Do it any other way and you have what engineers, their insurance companies, and their lawyers refer to as “a boo-boo.”
Speaking as a pinko, fuck the social mores of the 50s. They were racist, sexist, homophobic, and all-around obnoxious.

I was starting to get pretty excited about then as well, except in my case it was just the onset of puberty.
Maybe that explains Riehl, Beck, and the rest. Their balls just dropped and they don’t know what to d.

Well, you always have been a bit of an overpiner.
Other than cool cars with tail fins the 50s didn’t have a lot going for them.
Well, maybe Bettie Page, but that’s about it.
Well, maybe Bettie Page, but that’s about it.
Don’t forget the 90% top marginal tax rate. I get serious liberal-wood thinking about that one.
Smut’s pining for the fjords.

*sigh* Something else to blame Ike for. He wasn’t just a closet liberal, he ws a fucking commie!
In Socialist Scandiwegia, Fjords pine after you!

I thought that smell was just Wint-o-Green LifeSavers.
After Norwegian wood, nothing else is as good.
Smut, can you advise an inquiring mind on this?
Do you savages (A joke, son!) have your own refrigerators, or is there some sort of mobile socialist sharing of the cold down there?
Fuck social underpinnings. After the 1950s everyone I knew was trying to systematically alter their state of consciousness.
“But God, it was SO sweet when I heard the news. Eliminated in the first round! hahahaha!”
I guess you would really enjoy it if Obama got into a war that went bad, and got 4 or 5 thousand soldiers killed. Hahahahah.
One “oh shit” wipes out one-hundred “atta boys”.
The wisdom behind betrayal is being “there” first.
The best insurance company is one that makes so
much money ripping off its customers that it has
invested billions in various sectors of the economy.
This is the reason that insurers must be allowed
to continue ripping off customers with their profits
protected by the legislative, judicial, and executive
branches of government. The game as it is
currently being played requires the right to
harvest a green renewable resource known as
“suckers”. Without suckers the economy would
become glacial in growth. Everyone knows that
suckers were meant to be taken, because the
good lord makes so many of them. Amen.
Of course I’d enjoy it, because none of those soldiers would be me. Just a bunch of niggers and white trash who didn’t have a bullshit excuse like all the heroes of conservatism.Hahahahafart.
American culture is created, manipulated, and misled, not because of
the dreaded liberals, but is invented to advance the treasonous corporate coup d’ e’tat over a democratic republic. The economic slavery of Americans has been the goal for over thirty years. They are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Happy trails to you… until we meet again.
Smut, can you advise an inquiring mind on this?
Of course we have our own refrigerators. How else would i keep my akvavit cold? It’s the dishwashers that are communal, a big one in the centre of the city, which we visit once a month with a carfull of crockery.
Other than cool cars with tail fins the 50s didn’t have a lot going for them.
Well, maybe Bettie Page, but that’s about it.
When I think of the 50’s I think of this, and this. Of course, USA Road Apple Mom is probably more of a Pat Boone fan.
Fuck social underpinnings.
As I (vaguely) remember the 60s, we were also trying to fuck everything that would stand still long enough.
It’s the dishwashers that are communal, a big one in the centre of the city, which we visit once a month with a carfull of crockery.
Have you no trebuchets, with which to launch your dirty dishes into the maws of the dishwashers? BARBARIANS!!!
At least you are more fortunate than our forebears, who had to take their dirty china to the local stream and pound it with rocks.
…underpinings seemed frivolous or unnessecary…
Goddamned liberal spelling Nazis. Also.
fuck everything that would stand still
ProTip (forty years late): Try it w/ your associate lying down & moving a bit.
I thought that quartet went to the stream to pound salmon.
People who obsess about the Fictitious Fifties and how everything was white picket fences and Perfect America Forever make me want to shove a copy of Last Exit to Brooklyn up their ass. God knows, they probably couldn’t read the damn thing if you just handed it to them, so I’ll settle for the next best thing. At least the next time they spout off, you can tell them that their farts would make more sense.
We have been a fucked up country from the start. Some of us can see that and still love it, warts and all. Others need to try to cloak the truth in some sort of puritan bullshit absolutism before they can internalize anything as “good.” See the comment above about “three types of people.”
Ironically, a huge measure of what these people think they are missing boils down to a strong middle-class, the very thing the movement they have been bamboozled into joining has made it its work to destroy. Sigh.

But… but… Reagan made us see morning in America.
Conservatives always see the US in hagiographic terms, not historical terms. Anything which conflicts with their idealized view of the country invites rage and vindictiveness- facts be damned.
St. Ronnie, IIRC, made a very plain statement about eliminating the middle-class. Something to the effect of wanting a country of 100 million rich and 100 million poor. Absurd on its face, really, but of course the rubes bought in assuming they’d be on the rich side, so fuck the poor. The truth of the matter is, sadly, that you need a lot more than one poor person to make one person rich, but hey, math is hard.
I suppose Ronnie did get it half right in the end. There must be at least 100 million people in this country who have been impoverished by his policies.
But… but… Reagan made us see morning in America.
You missed out the ‘u’.

Yeah, I should have written Reagun. It’s like, more macho ‘n’ shit.

Yeah, but they couldn’t elect a dog-catcher without lying and cheating. Does Calvinism contain a category called “unelectable”?

There’s a cottonmouth/poisonous snake joke in there somewhere, but I’m too tired to grasp it.

The bastard. What’s so fucking great wiht mornings? You have a whole day of soul-crushing wage slave drudgery in front of you.
Fuck mornings and fuck the rotting corpse of that
How anyone equates a four-hour cup of coffee with a long term strategy is beyond me.
The only happy mornings are weekend mornings. And you know who we have to thank for that? Treasonous liberal unions, that’s who!
Since the 1950’s the Liberal Left has been chipping away at the American belief system.

Be warned Zebra Be Warned. We are coming when you least expect it and God is leading the charge as we march to his voice.
My sword stands ready and I stand tall just awaiting the call. For many have gone before us and died keeping our country safe. We will not give up to you Zebra. I will be there that day you are taking out and dealt with all of your cronies beside you.
Here my words Zebra for God is on our side. Jesus is the light upon our feet. Onward to Victory I shall march. God’s Victory is sound for I know my destiny when I die. I fear not death, but God’s wrath up you I do see Zebra.
For All Our great America Christian Patriots shall soon see the evil purged from our land. The Lake of fire that you will receive as Judgment for your crimes for eternity. Your father the devil will be on your side burning with you Zebra.
So all I have to say now is prance around the stage while you can. For soon your world will crumble down around you.

@Usa Apple Pie Mom (also known as the dorks at Free Republic):
Yes, how dare liberals complain when Sean Hannity goes on TV and calls us traitors, or when Glenn Beck
pretends to feed the Democratic Speaker of the House a poisoned glass of wine, or when
millionsthousandshundreds ofprotestors scream that we’re fascists in Fox News-staged events for the TeeVee cameras. Yes, the level of discourse has certainly gone lower.
Beliefs such as . . . ? Freedom
of speech? Right to privacy? Freedom of thought? Or the “under god” phrase inserted into the Pledge in 1954? That would make sense, since the Right
started by jamming religion into our government where it wasn’t intended or wanted in the 1950’s during a paranoid hissy-fit architected by the mentally
ill Joseph McCarthy.
Yes, because showing up to discuss healthcare reform
with loudly-misspelled signs and plans such as the following: “Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s
presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.” and “Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate:
“The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda.” are so fucking mature, and worked so well that the public is
still overwhelmingly in support of healthcare reform.
I’m sorry you don’t understand that you lost the election,
you stupid fuck. Yeah, you’ve got to do it our way because of that old saw, Elections Have Consequences. It’s a bitch when you lose, isn’t it?
Yeah, there’s that
weird little thing called the Constitution. You may be vaguely familiar with the Amendment numbered 1, which says in part that we are entitled to “to
petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Yes, because we, the 53% whose opinions prevailed in the recent
election think that our social fabric is rent and tattered by the incompetence and vandalism of the Conservatives. I again refer you to Elections
Have Consequences and assure you that a steaming Cup of Shut The Fuck Up is being expressly delivered.
Comments are previewed in real-time, moron. Can you not even use the right word, which I
think is “our” way of thinking?
It’s not socialized healthcare, because you’re
an idiot, but even if it was so what? Socialized healthcare works in that it takes care of the health of the nation. What we have currently
does not and is killing people by the tens of thousands. This isn’t up for debate. The facts are so. Deny the facts and I’ll call you an
idiot. Dispute the outcome and I’ll say you’re deluded. Conservatives have been asked for their input on what we should do about our epic fail
of a healthcare system, and so far we’ve gotten bad faith negotations or crickets, depending on who we’ve talked to. So it’s time: put up, or SHUT UP.
Give specific, documented, referenced examples that a majority
of the Liberal Left supports Chavez, or even knows he exists. You have 24 hours from the time of my posting to do so. After that, your argument
is irrelevant and any further noise from your fat mouth regarding that subject will be treated as lies and idiocy.
I refer you to Article I of the U.S. Constitution. Please read it carefully.
It describes a legislature whose purpose is to continually modify the agreements under which our nation operates. This is a priori an admission
that the system would require modification in order to progress through history. Ergo, it’s not the best, or will it ever be. You are standing athwart
the world screaming STOP but unfortunately it’s not your fucking world. That’s why each of us gets a vote. If you are disputing my right to
have a vote and to have my needs and opinions represented by my government then FUCK YOU.
We haven’t changed much, idiot. We’ve put a Black man in the White House
where you clearly don’t believe he belongs but that’s your problem, not ours. Steaming cup of STFU is still on its way.
The Majority voted. Last year. We won. You lost. Now, a tiny minority of whiny-ass titty-babies are shrieking and howling
in an effort to simply derail the conversation this nation is having about the way things need to be, but Democracy is not about who shrieks louder.
Its about one vote, one person.
We expected you to honor the results of
the election like adults. We’ve been irritated but not really surprised at how spoiled-rotten the Right has become.
The best for . . . who? The 14,000 people who lose their health insurance every day? The 44,000 who die from lack of
healthcare every year? The millions of Americans who are unemployed right now? The millions more who are underemployed?
Clapping Louder hasn’t made things better, Tinkerbell. I guess you’re gonna die.
Only by tolerating it. The
laws in this country require us to allow even the Fred Phelpses and Scott Roeders and Timothy McVeighs to do as they will until they actually commit a
crime. But McVeigh had to slaughter 168 innocents before someone pulled his plug. If you want, I can volunteer to stop being quite so tolerant
but I guarantee you you won’t like it.
The only people crying are Glenn Beck and John Boener. And you, in this pathetic, whiny-ass diatribe that I’m taking my
shredder to right now.
Yeah, those pesky Washington,
Franklin, and Jefferson guys, and their damn First Amendment. Who did they think they were, anyway?
You might read up on the Pledge before you start running your
mouth about it. I know Conservatives assume they are automatically experts on everything but I think most Conservatives would be shocked to know that,
for example: Francis Julius Bellamy, who created the Pledge, did so in 1892, and was a “Christian Socialist.” And that the words “under god” did not
appear in that Pledge, which was adopted by the National Education Association. This is how it was propagated in our society. Also, for final
hilarious right-wing punking, the salute that was originally used to “pledge” to the Flag was identical to the one used by the Nazis, and had to be
changed to the hand-over-heart salute during WWII lest our nation look too much like the Krauts we were fighting to defeat.
Finally, as I stated before, the words “under god” were inserted into the Pledge in 1954 in a right-wing hissy-fit similar to the one that’s spreading
across the nation today.
The ACLU will defend the
most obnoxious uses of free speech or civil liberties, which you’d know if you knew jack shit but you don’t since you don’t. That includes skinheads
and KKK members. You choose to ignore this because you’re stupid, not because there’s any strategy or style in it.
Because
there’s a Blackity-Black-Black-Black! in the Oval Office. We know. It’s not like it’s a secret. The Right are dominated by a bunch of nasty, ugly,
brutish racists and they’re really upset that a Negroid individual has usurped the natural order of things. I don’t know why you need to explain that
one. We already figured it out.
Yes, like
that obnoxious thing about separate drinking fountains, places on the bus, and of course schools. That really burns your lily-white asses, doesn’t it?
No, just racist, assholish,
self-aggrandizing, elitist, and worthy of complete eradication. Also, it’s “underpinnings, two n’s.
Liberals belive in this thing called a meritocracy, which means you get what you work for in society. Conservatives very clearly believe that you get
what your Daddy worked for, or stole, or conned someone out of.
It’s been 49 years since the 1950’s ended. I don’t know if you realize that. People who know how to do math are
aware of these things.
You have a mouse in your pocket?
No, I think those Americans were like Americans who grow up thinking “I have a vote, and I can choose whatever I shall,
and I have Civil Rights and I am going to claim them because nobody’s gonna just give them to me!”
You and
exactly who are in charge of consequences, motherfucker? Because as I recall, each of us has one vote and our right to choose whatever we
shall.
Yes you are. Your entire essay is saying that
you’ve just sat here and helplessly had Liberal Leftists roll change all over your perfect America. Your premises ALL consist of complaining that
things were perfect in the 1950’s and should never have changed, and assigning blame to us. Don’t puss out now and pretend you didn’t just say what you
did . . . oh wait, too late. You did puss out! What a joke. I thought you were going to come to some grand climactic conclusion and instead you
pulled your punch at the last minute. Well, allow ME!
HELL YEAH WE HAVE. Over the
kicking, screaming, from-my-cold-dead-hands hissy-fit throwing protests of the Right Wing in America, we have begun the long and painful PROGRESS of
humanity out of the darkness of narcissistic racist classist destructive nepotist social lockdown, and towards a nation that truly intends to stand for the principles that bring out the best in each of us. We have had to start by systematically, as you say, dismantling the racist infrastructure of the 1950’s that permitted segregation to replace the out-and-out slavery of the past. Another generation and everyone who was alive during segregation will be thankfully dead and we can close the door on that. The younger generations of America have grown up without it constantly being jammed into their ears and have by and large rejected it. They may not recall the bitter injustices that were heaped upon human beings who were rinsed off the streets with firehoses as if they were pests or animals, they may not remember White Only fountains and lunch counters, Rosa Parks, or the murders of Martin Luther King, or the Kennedys, but they know that racism is something old people who don’t know much about the world engage in.
One day, the American people will all be adult and grown up enough to leave behind the racist social structures that you so petulantly cling to from the 1950’s. But I guess you will have to be dead before that happens.
Because YOU since the 1950’s have systematically altered many of the social underpinings of American Culture.
Integration is theft?
The Lake of fire that you will receive as Judgment for your crimes for eternity. Your father the devil will be on your side burning with you Zebra.
Are you God that YOU can condemn? Sow hatred, spite, and condemnation and you will reap it in return, Pharisee.
I am reminded of what that old fuck Rumsfield said: “Freedom is Messy”.
Well yeah, it is. What these petulant winers in the GOP are experincing is the teen crush sense of nostalgia from the 50’s. In a way, I feel for them. Its fun to remember things in a certain context even if things didn’t work out the way they think it did. The dream is over kids. Time to grow the fuck up and wake the fuck up.
There’s a cottonmouth/poisonous snake joke in there somewhere, but I’m too tired to grasp
Veiled PENIS reference.
The bastard. What’s so fucking great wiht mornings? You have a whole day of soul-crushing wage slave drudgery in front of you.
Fuck mornings and fuck the rotting corpse of that
I had to work all night because this is a crazy time on the job, and, truth to tell, the dawn was gorgeous- the moon was full, the dawn was breaking, Venus was visible in the southern sky, I could hear the merry chattering of a belted kingfisher that lives near the job site- mornings are all right.
Obviously, the Olympic failure was, as Fred Barnes said, a sign of Obama’s coming incompetence. The failure of the “stimulus,” Benghazi, Iraq, Afghanistan, Obamacare and its rollout, Syria, the VA deaths, the IRS emails, the border. . . the list goes on and on. The liberal and leftist loons writing here are losers just like Mr. O.
