“Two Cheers for Rebranding “

  • Minorities and the poor can surely be duped into voting Republican if our same crap policies are pitched by wealthy men with friendly brown or beige faces.

It’s troo! Us browns and poors just need the right spokesman to sell us our own doom.

 
 

Minorities and the poor can surely be duped into voting Republican if our same crap policies are pitched by wealthy men with friendly brown or beige faces.

I think this all comes down to puzzlement over why the nonwhite poor aren’t as gullible as the white poor. Must be the choice of message – racist horseshit about Cadillac-driving welfare queens doesn’t sell to the nonwhite folks.

 
 

Poopy.

Loadbob’s into necrophilia? It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

Cantor argued for utterly reasonable conservative solutions that would improve the plight of the working poor and the middle class.

Goldberg never goes on to say what those solutions actually are. Must have been space constraints or something.

 
 

OK, because I have no life, I looked up Cantor’s speech to the American Enterprise Institute, which he modestly called “Making Life Work.” This is Cantor’s (and Goldberg’s) idea of an “utterly reasonable conservative solution that would improve the plight of the working poor and the middle class”:

A working mom could work overtime this month and use it as time off next month without having to worry about whether she’ll be able to take home enough money to pay the rent.

Yes, a working mom who doesn’t get to spend enough time with her kids gets to work overtime and spend even less time with them so that someday, she will get to spend a little more time with them!

How and why do these motherfuckers keep getting listened to and taken seriously?

 
 

Goldberg never goes on to say what those solutions actually are. Must have been space constraints or something.

Or… fahrrrrt.

“Goldberg never goes on to say what those solutions actually are.”

Never before has Loadberg made an argument in such detail, or with such care.

The Republicans are experts at improving plights. Those guys know how to make the biggest, strongest, and most all-encompassing plights of all.

 
 

utterly reasonable conservative solutions

Hmmm. Words in a row. Could be an acronym – URCS, no, no, that’s not it. Umm, jumble maybe? I. H.A.V.E.N.E.V.E.R.M.A.D.E.A.N.A.R.G.U.M.E.N.T.W.I.T.H. out of letters. This makes no sense!

I need an Enigma machine, stat!

 
 

Yeah, wage-slave jobs allow lots of overtime and flexible time off. These dags have never worked a regular, clock-punching job in their lives.

Oh no, that’s not a shit sandwich, it’s a croque merdeux.

 
 

And NO SMUT YOU MAY NOT.

 
 

It’s all good stuff from a great field. Indeed, while calling them the “fantastic four” might seem hyperbolic — and unfair to a few other politicians left out of the mix — Rubio, Ryan, Jindal, and Cantor are a pretty good counterargument to those who think the Republican party is doomed

shit sandwich.

Fascism goes multicultural?

 
 

I don’t want to get off the boat, but does he seriously pitch Rubio, Ryan, Jindal, and Cantor as the brown and beige faces to convince us of the GOP’s worth?

Jindal’s the only one who would probably point blank say he wasn’t White. The rest of the country might be quick to think of Rubio as something other than White, but keep in mind that’s not how most Cubans think of themselves (and a good number of latin@s from other countries think of them as well).

Besides, he rings pretty much like an appropriating White GOP hack – he’s not one but two generations removed from being undocumented, but that hasn’t stopped him from talking about his parents as political refugees (when, well, they weren’t).

Other than those two, we’ve got a White guy from a wealthy family that literally owned the town he grew up in and Cantor, the fascist right’s second favorite Jew (after Bibilicious). Ah, such a deviation from their usual racial politics and presentation!

Keep fucking that chicken, doughbob.

 
 

Because giving poorly-considered advice is the most important thing a congressperson can do for the working poor. Fixing the multi-billion dollar problem of unpaid overtime theft, not so much.

 
 

I can’t stop laughing. Every time I read “utterly reasonable conservative solutions” I can’t help but laugh. I mean c’mon, “utterly reasonable” by itself is LOL worthy but when prepended to “conservative solutions” (Help me Godwin, please help me not say it) the whole phrase becomes a spectacular train wreck of big-c conservatism jingoist memery.

UTTERLY REASONABLE CONSERVATIVE SOLUTIONS

The conservative solution to Social Security is to end it. Reasonable!

 
 

Utterly!

 
 

Ice floes for grandma are reasonable.

Voters aren’t children, but too many of them have the childish notion that the best policies are those that pander to their immediate desiresbest interests. The challenge for the GOP is to persuade them to put away childish thingsvote in the best interests of corporations and warmongers.

Global warming has made ice floes tough to find.

 
 

that hasn’t stopped him from talking about his parents as political refugees (when, well, they weren’t).

To be fair, though, they were. Specifically, they were traveling in the U.S. when the Cuban Revolution occurred and decided it would be dangerous to return. IMO, that qualifies them as refugees.

Maybe I’m a little biased because my cousin is married to a woman whose parents were in that exact situation (except it was China, not Cuba). And of course I have no use for Rubio and never will. But I have no problem with his describing his parents as refugees. In fact, I hope he keeps doing it, because it just highlights the idiotic discrepancy in our immigration policies between Cuba and the rest of Latin America. (One which, if I’m not mistaken, is resented by more than a few non-Cuban Latinos.)

 
 

That Eric Cantor speech that Feldwebel Von Loadpants swooned over is at WaP00p, & frankly, I just don’t see any starbursts in my living-room so’s you’d notice per se.

“Make Life Work” sounds suspiciously to me like “Strength Through Joy” on Ambien™.

It’s not a real reasonable conservative solution until someone praises it as “Ending the Uncertainty”.

Well, they gulled the poor whites by demonizing the poor nonwhites, all the while blind to any coming demographic shifts. Truly, they were hoist on the own canard.

 
 

Yo, Dr Ken and tigris, how are you New Englanders faring post Snowpocalypse? The reports indicate the some parts of Connecticut received almost three feet of snow.

 
 

The conservative solution to Social Security is to end it. Reasonable!

And the moderate Republican solution is to cut it.

But there’s a better way.

Duncan Black (aka Atrios):

We need an across the board increase in Social Security retirement benefits of 20% or more. We need it to happen right now, even if that means raising taxes on high incomes or removing the salary cap in Social Security taxes.

Shucks, Major.

B^4, we’re ok here. Lost some treetops, lost power, but that’s it.

 
 

Never lost power here, looks like over 2 feet with drifts up to 4 or 5. Took about 2 hours to dig ourselves out.

 
 

Blue skies. Cicadas. Gentle breeze. Time for a walk along the beach.

 
 

I’m almost embarrased by how easy I had it. We had maybe six-seven inches of snow in the City of Y______. Shoveling my place and the neighbors’ place (neighbors are a woman who retired last year and her mother) took about an hour, I cleaned off my car and shoveled the snow around it into a sewer grating (ne’er you’ll drift nae more). I then took a nap for a few hours, and had no problemwhatsoever driving to work.

Eggsactly.

Maybe this goes back further in U.S. history, but I only became politically conscious when Carter ran. However, for as long as I can remember the Republican message has been this:

1. Why won’t you disgusting skirts, darkies and queers run into this lovely glue trap we’ve created for you?

2. Oh, you’re such ingrates! And you keep talking about the horrible things we’ve done to you. Which is a lie anyway. We’ll show you!

3. [Oppress, oppress, oppress!]

4. [Campaign Time!]

5. Demagogueageddon!!

6. [Election Day!]

7. Damn it, the disgusting skirts, darkies and queers still aren’t voting for us!

Blather, rinse, repeat.

The only thing that has changed is the bluntness, the frequency and the volume. And now comes the next crop of fucktards and the only thing they can think to do is smile when they say the same shit.

 
 

P.S. To you selfish bastids hogging all the snow on the decadent liberal elitist east coast: I hate you selfish bastids.

Pleasant day in New Orleans. Great lunch at Cochon, had a look at a parade, resting up for some Endymion and another fancy meal. There will be booze.

No snow.

It rained a little today. This was a huge relief after the week of temperatures in the 30s. Also damped down any embers left from the wildfires; so, major thanks to Queen Modjadji, the Rain Queen.

You could step in some POOP.

 
 

This is serious denial stuff, especially the we have the right policies only no one knows it yet. Yep, we know about those policies and have been paying for them for more than 30 years. What a self-entitled moron.

 
 

Seriously though:

The reason that game is so perilous for conservatives is not that liberals necessarily care more than conservatives but that they are always willing and eager to prove their concern by cutting a check, even when all we have in the checking account is IOUs and cash on loan from China. Moreover, they are perfectly happy and eager to say that anyone who opposes more check kiting is greedy or selfish, even if what Democrats are doing is making the problem they seek to solve worse. All too often, liberals act as if government has a monopoly on compassion.

How much does it cost to not introduce bills about shoving things up women’s vaginas to punish them for exercising their legal rights, or to allow people to vote? Loadpants is as usual taking the easy way out and relying on a conservative canard that pretends that the people taking the most away from the table thanks to elected officials are the poor, when it’s the wealthy and powerful who are carting away the cash by the barrowfull. The only “giveaway” from this administration has been health insurance reform, which first off isn’t a giveaway and secondly still was not, at the time of the election, favorably viewed by a majority – thanks of course to the conservative campaign of lies and demonization. If the only “giveaway” you can point to is one that the majority doesn’t like, it’s pretty obvious that voters didn’t base their decision on whoever wrote them a check.

“There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism,” Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “joined with a certain superiority in its fact.” Children often think their parents are being mean when they tell their kids to do their homework. That doesn’t make the parents mean, it makes them responsible. Eventually, the lessons of life persuade children their parents were right all along.

I’ll see your Ralph Waldo Emerson and raise you John Stuart Mill:
“Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.”

Voters aren’t children, but too many of them have the childish notion that the best policies are those that pander to their immediate desires. The challenge for the GOP is to persuade them to put away childish things.

Voters should get over their childish whims about decent jobs, pay, health care, housing, education and whatnot, and come to the understanding that rich people need the money more than they do, because they’ve got yachts and shit to maintain. The challenge for the GOP is to convince them to put away those childish fantasies of a decent quality of life by distracting them with the bogeyman, or -men, du jour.

uhhhhh…i clearly recall hearing many many screams about the free obama phones, jennifer!

srsly, though…your comment is what i want to say to myriad people everyday…it makes me really slapphappy when i introduce the idea that, hey, ‘maybe if you conservative small government types wouldn’t clog up the process with bullshit bills’ it inevitably turns into ‘oh yeah…both sides do it, derp derp!’ and their hypocrisy goes right by them…i’ve become quite mum on the subject of politics lately…

 
 

they are always willing and eager to prove their concern by cutting a check, even when all we have in the checking account is IOUs and cash on loan from China.

Good God, anyone who makes that claim after saying fuck all for the 8 years of the off-budget war president should receive a mandatory trans-anal wanding.

I think it’s awesome that the wingiest wingnuts are finally coming out and saying that women who get abortions should be prosecuted, right out loud. You know that’s what they’ve been thinking all along and now they’re starting to just say it.

I like it. It removes the cloak of respectability or “just honestly wanting to protect the fetus” or any of that other bullshit. They hate that women can make their own choices and they want to punish them. Always have.

C.M. Phillips is a former government employee and a serious student of anthropology and religion.

Writing Republican “Just So” stories is not actually being “serious” about anthropology.

 
 

(from C.M. Phillips’ comments section)
I’m not sure the Alpha’s (another name for the hunter/providers the author descibes) are outnumbered yet, but all we have to do is “go Gault” or expatriate and let the parasites wither on the vine. Then when they’ve expired, we move back in. Voila. In other words, to paraphrase, ‘Let them eat their socialist cake.’

No one wants to see parasites withering on the vine.

 
 

Off topic, but bellissimo!

surely a sign of the end of times…

holy snap! i have never seen so much snow pile up so fast as last night…within an hour and a half we had about 3.5 inches…and it was wet and heavy…we’re up to about 7 or 8 now and for some reason, hubbkf is trying to disperse it even while it is still coming down…but when he comes in, i am going to make him eggs scrambled with leftover steak and american fries from last night and add some onions, peppers and cheese to the mix…yumm!

I love that women, who in many hunter-gatherer communities actually bring in the majority of sustenance in addition to being almost entirely responsible for child care, are classed with the democratic parasites. Plus I doubt that there was ever a time when hunters went out individually and brought meat back only to their nuclear family. Like the other primates we are tribal critters.

yes, that caught my eye as did this bit:

If food was left over, it could be shared with others. Being a good provider was the mark of successful hunter. His family thrived; he gave much to others.

so, they’ve always been like that…IF food was left over it COULD be shared with others = he gave MUCH to others…l o fucking l…

 
 

I’m familiar with Going Galt. In fact, I can’t decide whether The Rapture or The Galtening would make the world a better place. Either way, hurry up sez I.

But Snorhagen at 17:43 posts a mention of Going GaUlt and it reminds me that I’ve seen increasing calls/threats to go GaUlt.

A cynical person might think this is clear evidence that the gibbertarian pouty pants threatening to withdraw his productivity (ick) from society hasn’t read Rand’s hopeless magnum or any writings on the same. One might suspect he is merely parroting something he half-heard and completely failed to comprehend while listening to a person who was also hampered by a lack of a clue.

In short, a cynical person might think the dumb ass threatening to Go GaUlt is unaware that the True Randroid regards him as a Little Brain and would leave him to starve with the rest of us parasites when the true believers troop off to that valley in Colorado.

However, I am not a cynic. So I believe there is a sub-movement of Lubertarians who also admire fashion designer Gaultier. They plan to sit out the withering of the parasites in haute couture Randian splendor.

One commenter seemed to be developing the concept of a secret cabal of crafty degenerates who wormed their way into power and corrupted the righteousness of the natural leaders…

Not all the moochers were stupid and incompetent. Some were smart and corrupt. They found they could hunt the hunters. They now own the establishment Republicans.

… but nothing about der Juden. Clearly, this paranoid fantasy needs more work. Where is Julius Streicher when you need him?

Plus I doubt that there was ever a time when hunters went out individually and brought meat back only to their nuclear family. Like the other primates we are tribal critters.

The nuclear family is a relatively new concern because you need a fair amount of infrastructure (and people) to make it feasible. The completely independent nuclear family just isn’t possible. Honest. Even Hardy Pioneers relied on other people for supplies.

But these fucknuggets really do envision some sort of Flintstonian society when they think of that time period. However, (here’s the kicker) in their version squishy things like the golden rule, altruism and empathy don’t exist. Hence “If I have enough, you’ll get some. If I don’t, fuck you jack.”

Not “You have nothing today. Tomorrow I may have nothing. So I’ll share with you today and you’ll have my back tomorrow.”

Or even “Shit dude you don’t have any food? That sucks man, come on over.”

Nice.

Wuzza-wuzzup, ya loony lib jabronis? Check it before ya wreck it, ya clowns- Great Goldberg just unleashed a SPREAD of TRUTH that you dorks just can’t handle! The funky fact of the matter is, the Republican Party is the true party for freedom-loving Americans of all stripes, whether they’re browns or yellows or normal! God, guns, and family- that’s the American way! Not what you pimp daddies are sellin!

Now hear this- if you think that the blacks voted for Obama because the Republican Party is racist, you’re wrongarino! The dilly is, they did it because of ACORN and vote fraud and because they’re the ones who are racist! Once the blacks get over it with the thuggin’ and the muggin’, they’ll know who they can go to! ConservoMentum ’14! Badoodle-boo-yeah!

Suck it, ya clowns! Urban out.

 
 

Okay now that Butch proved charging in alone just gets you crushed in a stampede…

….you four go left, we five will go right, scare ’em off a cliff and eat the ones that die in the fall.

 
 

Geez, they all crawl outta the woodwork when football season’s over…………………………

 
 

Major and tigris, I actually just wanted to bitch at someone.Rough day.

 
 

, I actually just wanted to bitch at someone

dennis was here earlier…he is always bitch-worthy…just a helpful tip to help you through a crappy day 🙂

In the Air Force we called it “sport bitching”.

 
 

Shakezula @ 18:49 was a thing of beauty.

 
 

I could’ve spent my day doing much-needed work around my house, or I could’ve wasted my time sitting on my butt finding pictures of right-wing shitheads depicted as warriors. Guess which I chose to do.

And also.

Also, too.

Not to mention.

And in addition.

Plus this ten-year-old gem from the Onion.

 
 

I think Coach Urban Meyer is a poe, but I can’t be sure anymore. It used to be that, when an apparent right-wing troll actually stated the assumptions they usually leave unstated or indeed unthought* (cf. Stephen Colbert), you could safely assume it was a parody. But that assumption drifted out the window over the course of Circus 2012, with the long series of leaked videos showing that they actually do think the things we’ve always feared they were thinking, they just have better sense than to say them where they think the reality-based community might hear.

* FTVO “thought” that William James had in mind when he wrote “A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.”

 
 

So much ridicule at the “Going Gault” commenter! It’s like none of you have encountered the works of well-known author Auyn Raund.

 
 

going gault…the gaultimate sacrifice…

Maybe if we got the “Aryan” meme going among the wingnuttosphere, and they made it known that only an Aryan candidate would do next time around, when they found themselves stuck with Nikki Haley or Bobby Jindal (Are there any other possibilities I don’t know about?) the cranial explosions would be amusing.

 
 

What? What the fuck did I do this time?

Oh I get it, it’s because I’m black, right?

 
 

Oh, OK.

Sorry my name has far humbler and more recent origins.

See also.

But you could argue that the name is a pun on Shaka Zulu so … What was the question?

Not that you’ll see this reply because

i had all but forgotten the aqua teen hunger force…hilarity indeed…

which is why i am really loud…nobody will not notice ME!

You’re supposed to boil a rabbit when you say that.

 
 

boiling a rabbit while drinking a floe gin fizz?

 
 

You’ve got be a bit older for the floe gin. And, probably, more annoying.

In short, such an abrupt change would lead to
chaos on the Internet and – at least temporarily – disrupt the message of liberty.

?!

 
 

Once liberty starts in on massaging my glutes, I brook no disruption.

Anyone who attempts to disrupt the message of liberty will be sent to the Liberty Gulag!

 
 

Flowing gin? I knew I wouldn’t want to miss this thread.

 
 

Even though this vile old hypocrite is trying to take their fucking website, they want so much not to offend him they came up with some excuse that would convince an old coot who knows nothing about the Internons that he really doesn’t want to take their fucking website because if he takes their fucking website it would do bad things to the entire WWW and liberty and baby duckies no less.

Poor little toad eaters. They must be so confused right now.

Actually, I feel bad for them. Having one’s pet beliefs get bitch slapped by cold hard reality hurts enough. When the slapper is a hero … Wowzers.

 
 

Also, am I the only person here who knew what Shakezula was?

 
 

ATHF theme song is my ringtone.

What I’m trying to say is that I am HIP. WITH IT. THE BEES’ KNEES. THE CATS’ PAJAMAS. I search the World Wide Web for things. Plus, I am always twittering. I twitter, literally, every day.

 
 

Actually, I feel bad for them.

I have to admit that I have a hard time feeling much sympathy for Paulistas.

 
 

Never knew of that Shakezula cartoony thing. I assumed the name was a take on the Zulu king.

Also, I’m making pots de creme even as we type. MWAHAHAHAHAHA

 
 

Teh Ho dialled up on FletNix a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad flick called Turbulent Skies. The cockpit is as bad or worse than the one Ed Wood made for Plan 9. The whole movie ranks tight up there with the best of Mr. Wood’s productions.

I’ve watched the cartoon but I didn’t catch the reference.

IIRC Substance McGravitas prefers to store his in mason jars.

 
 

If I had to pick an ATHF watcher out of a crowd of S,Ners, Major, your probably be the last person I’d point to.

Pup, I hope you at least have a “so bad it’s good” experience.

So it’s NOT just a comic strip.

I prefer the Venture Brothers.

 
 

You’re. Also. Never liked Venture Brothers. At all.

 
 

ehhh….you can always trust wonkette to bring us teh crazy…

 
 

Never liked Venture Brothers. At all.

To appreciate it you would have had to grow up watching Johnny Quest like I did. Otherwise you wouldn’t know what they’re satirizing.

Quality entertainment!

hubbkf has dialled up ‘five branded women’…it is most mock worthy…

 
 

What’s weird, MJ, is that I know the show has fans significantly younger/hipper than I. I wonder if they all know about Johnny Quest, too.

 
 

omg…you have to love a movie with lines such as these:

‘you never know what you’ll find in a shepherds hut…sometimes the shepherd, sometimes the whole herd.’

and

‘soon we’ll hear the voice of our beloved fuhrer…and then there will be free beer.’

 
 

Glad to know I’m not the only one who enjoys ATHF. Although it is hard to imagine a red-blooded American who wouldn’t enjoy a send up of the McD’s Happy Meal.

To appreciate it you would have had to grow up watching Johnny Quest like I did. Otherwise you wouldn’t know what they’re satirizing.

This. And I think JQ was shown regionally. Mon mari is from the All American Heartland and he was not familiar with Quest. Needless to say he did NOT appreciate VB.

OK, he thinks ATHF is dumb too. And flat out refused to watch Squidbillies. But I still say he’d think VB was funny if he’d seen JQ.

ATHF theme song is my ringtone.

But do you know who Tupac is?

 
 

Race Bannon was dreamy.

 
 

This talk has lead me to load up a yootoob of Clutch Cargo. Wow, forgot how bizarre that was.

 
 

IIRC Substance McGravitas prefers to store his in mason jars.

How do you fit pots in mason jars?

 
 

OK, that human lips thing? I’m all for weird, but that is a weird too far pour moi.

 
 

Someone say “lips”?

 
 

Thanks. And to whom shall I send my therapist’s bills?

It helps that Johnny Quest had a brief resurgence in the mid-to-late 90s with Cartoon Network and a revamp of the program. That’s why a younger audience can typically follow a parody of it like Venture Brothers despite having been protozoa in the 70s. Same reason they got away with Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Harvey Birdman despite their original contexts.

 
The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
 

Fun fact: One of the creators of Clutch Cargo was Hal Smith: Otis the drunk from The Andy Griffith Show.

I’m so old I gave up on cartoons when that Japanese pseudo-animation stuff started taking over—Johnny Speed, Quest Racer, whatever….

 
 

Plus, I am always twittering. I twitter, literally, every day.

That is not the kind of thing you admit to in polite company. Which makes it perfectly fine here, if still a bit unseemly.

I also love ATHF, but had somehow missed the Shakezula connection.
