<p>It&#8217;s bad enough that you&#8217;ve likely convinced a bunch of dumb, fat white guys out there who want to fuck you that you&#8217;d make a good president. But seriously, just stop being a horrible, ignorant, intolerant, pandering former half-term governor.</p>
<p>There are times on this site when we think we shouldn&#8217;t call Sarah Palin names because, you know, we have employers and eventually we&#8217;ll want to get new jobs somewhere else or get fired and then need to find a new job and someday a future employer will look at this website and say, &#8220;This person&#8217;s nuts. We can&#8217;t hire someone who&#8217;s NUTS.&#8221; (BTW, that&#8217;s what the Fat American people should say at the polls in 2012 when Sarah Palin runs for president on the Teabagger ticket.)</p>
<p>But then we see Palin&#8217;s stupid Luke Wilson jaw and her dumb, smug face and we lose our minds. She can&#8217;t DO ANYTHING BUT INCITE FEAR AND HATRED.</p>
<p>And you know what? She&#8217;s not entirely stupid because she&#8217;s smart enough to know that &#8220;blood libel&#8221; is a code phrase to anti-Semites across this country. She&#8217;s smart enough to know that it&#8217;s a wink to people who hate, people who eat up her garbage, people who just can&#8217;t stand that a black man is president.</p>
<p><span id="more-6166"></span>WHY, WHY, WHY DOES ANYONE LISTEN TO THIS FUCKING CHEERLEADER?</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll tell you why people (and we use the word &#8220;people&#8221; loosely) listen to her: Because most Americans still live in high school well past the age of 18.</p>
<p>&#8220;Blood libel.&#8221; Sweet Jesus. What an ASSHOLE. We want to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn&#8217;t know what that meant, but you&#8217;re beyond being afforded that luxury. You pander to the least common denominator and when you casually pepper your speech with anti-Semitic dog whistles, everyone knows it was intentional.</p>
<p>Fuck. This fucking country.</p>

Unlikely. I&#8217;d try not calling names but they&#8217;re fucktards and their bases are filled with Neanderthals.</p>
<p>So someone <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/08/gabrielle-giffords-dead-dies_n_806220.html">walked into an event that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords</a> (D-Ariz.) was holding outside a grocery store. Shot her in the head. Killed at least four people. Giffords is in surgery as of 3:39 p.m. ET.</p>
<p>Here are some choice images from Sarah Palin&#8217;s Facebook page. You remember the crosshairs? Yeah. Here&#8217;s THAT image. Of course, it&#8217;s not murder &#8212; or attempted murder &#8212; if you&#8217;re totally being a maverick, which the shooter, certainly a patriot, no doubt is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://somecountryforoldmen.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/jesus.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6137" title="jesus" src="http://somecountryforoldmen.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/jesus.jpg?w=201&#038;h=140" alt="" width="201" height="140" /></a>Whoa! Look at that headline! Harsh words, right? Look, if we wrote what we really thought of Jim DeMint (R-Hell) we&#8217;d probably actually get in some kind of trouble. Maybe with Jesus, maybe with Satan. Whatever.</p>
<p>The bottom line is, in the war against getting anything done in Congress Jim DeMint is a leader. A Supreme honcho. The teabagger favorite and all-around piece of human garbage has decided that Congress is engaged in the (fake) war on Christmas. He says the push to get the massive spending bill through the Senate in the days before Dec. 25 is &#8212; and we&#8217;re not kidding &#8212; sacrilegious. Just read for yourself!</p>
<blockquote><p>You can&#8217;t jam a major arms control treaty right before Christmas,&#8221; he t<a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/46422.html#ixzz18D9lhBAk">old POLITICO</a>. &#8220;What&#8217;s going on here is just wrong. This is the most sacred holiday for Christians. They did the same thing last year &#8211; they kept everybody here until (Christmas Eve) to force something down everybody&#8217;s throat. I think Americans are sick of this.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>He&#8217;s right about one thing: Americans are sick. They&#8217;re sick of obstructionists blocking shit for the sake of blocking it. They&#8217;re sick of the two parties not being able to compromise about anything. And &#8212; we can only speak for ourselves in this case &#8212; they&#8217;re sick of fucking assholes like Jim DeMint using religion as an opportunity to be a cock. Does this fucking asshole know how many Christians work on Christmas? What a fuckface.</p>
<p><span id="more-6136"></span>Pardon. That was a little much, even for us (though we did publish an anti-Elizabeth Edwards obit last week, so maybe this a step backward in the bile department).</p>
<p>DeMint conveniently glosses over the fact that a lame duck Congress does this shit all the time. That is, pushes a massive amount of legislation forward in an effort to get laws passed, and &#8212; just as importantly &#8212; fund the government before the session ends.</p>
<p>The kicker is that this bozo&#8217;s solution is to slow the process down so that everyone has to work longer. Yeah, that&#8217;ll show &#8216;em!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;DeMint has demanded a full reading of the treaty, a process that, ironically, will push the chance for a vote closer to Christmas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Asked if he were concerned that could further extend the lame-duck session until after Christmas, DeMint said: &#8220;So we all want to go home and be with our families. If they want to do it, let&#8217;s stay here until New Year&#8217;s eve.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Fuck you, DeMint. Fuck you and your anti-Christian Christianity. We&#8217;re sure Jesus wold have done the same thing, force everyone to stay in one place and not go home to worship in His name!</p>

Bush was spending huge sums on two wars, giving tax cuts to the rich, expanding a prescription drug program without paying for it and growing the federal government&#8217;s role in public education with middling results.

<p>Just take a look at this thing <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/26/elections-2010-live-updates_n_774115.html#54_boehner-not-a-time-for-compromise" target="_blank">he said over the summer</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>All of the president’s talk of post-partisanship, reaching out and finding common ground reminds us that the country deserves better than his hyper-partisan speech today.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>And then Boehner said that following on <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/126153-boehner-this-is-not-a-time-for-compromise%3Cp%3E" target="_blank">Sean Hannity&#8217;s wretched show Thursday</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is not a time for compromise, and I can tell you that we will not compromise on our principles,&#8221; Boehner said during an appearance on conservative Sean Hannity&#8217;s radio show.</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-6073"></span>Yes, the compromise thus far has been really heartening. Can&#8217;t wait for the non-compromise.</p>

We&#8217;d suggest that the dum-dums are poised to take over in this election cycle, but they&#8217;ve been holding power since roughly 1980. And here&#8217;s Reagan&#8217;s legacy! <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/21/us/politics/21climate.html?_r=1" target="_blank">Take it away, Corydon Tea Party founder</a>!</p>
<blockquote><p>“It’s a flat-out lie,” [Norman] Dennison said [of climate change] in an interview after the  debate, adding that he had based his view on the preaching of Rush Limbaugh and the teaching of Scripture. “I read my Bible,” Mr. Dennison said. “He made this earth for us to utilize.”</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re dealing with. A guy who thinks a book written by people thousands of years ago holds more sway than science. And there are millions of morons like him out there. And they all vote.</p>

<p>Writer Sara Murray doesn&#8217;t come right out and say that Americans are stupid, lazy hypocrites but, hey, we read between the lines and are doing it for her. Americans are stupid, lazy hypocrites. (They&#8217;re also fat but that&#8217;s another story for another day).</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all heard lately that the deficit is booming, there&#8217;s too much government spending, Social Security&#8217;s fucked, etc. All of those things are true, of course. Why? Well, the deficit is booming because someone has to kick start the economy and <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-13/rich-americans-save-money-from-tax-cuts-instead-of-spending-moody-s-says.html" target="_blank">tax cuts for rich people aren&#8217;t going to do it</a>. And yes, just in case you&#8217;re wondering, <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/talk/financial/2010/09/20/100920ta_talk_surowiecki" target="_blank">the stimulus worked</a>. Certainly not the way the administration thought it would and not as well as it could have, either &#8212; because the administration made the mistake of thinking that Americans are rational, thoughtful people &#8212; but it did. Just not well enough.</p>
<p>So enough of the background. Here&#8217;s what we mean when we say <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/110680/nation-of-entitlements?mod=bb-budgeting" target="_blank">Americans are the problem</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Efforts to tame America&#8217;s ballooning budget deficit could soon  confront a daunting reality: Nearly half of all Americans live in a  household in which someone receives government benefits, more than at  any time in history.</p>
<p>At the same time, the fraction of American  households not paying federal income taxes has also grown &#8212; to an  estimated 45% in 2010, from 39% five years ago, according to the Tax  Policy Center, a nonpartisan research organization.</p></blockquote>
<p>Oops. <span id="more-6024"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Yet even as Americans express concern over the deficit in opinion  polls, many oppose benefit cuts, particularly with the economy on an  uneven footing. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted late last  month found 61% of voters were &#8220;enthusiastic&#8221; or &#8220;comfortable&#8221; with  congressional candidates who support cutting federal spending in  general. But 56% expressed the same enthusiasm for candidates who voted  to extend unemployment benefits.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course they do! Because they don&#8217;t understand how money and business and spending and government works. And guess what? It&#8217;s actually not that difficult. Here&#8217;s how the government entitlement part goes: If you want Medicare (and judging by <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/27/AR2009072703066.html?hpid=topnews" target="_blank">how many people want the government to keep their filthy hands off Medicare</a>, you do), you have to pay for it. The way you pay for it is by taxes!</p>
<p>Also: If you want Social Security, you have to pay for it &#8212; as a payroll tax! See, that&#8217;s how entitlement programs work. They have to be paid for somehow. Social security isn&#8217;t a handout; you pay into it with every paycheck (assuming your employer isn&#8217;t a total scumbag). The problem with Social Security isn&#8217;t that it&#8217;s welfare (it isn&#8217;t). The problem is that when it was enacted the population was about 130,000,000, lived until they were about 65 or died in World War II. Now the population is about 300,000,000 and <em>everyone is really fucking old</em>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re not suggesting that there&#8217;s not waste in government. Any system that would employ Charlie Rangel for 40 years has serious problems. We&#8217;re just saying that if you want spending limited, you may have to take a cut in something you enjoy. We&#8217;re perfectly prepared to eat baloney for a couple months. Is the rest of America? Well, they&#8217;re already eating baloney and it&#8217;s making them fat. But we&#8217;re talking about eating baloney from a symbolic and from a monetary point of view, you know, baloney being cheap&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, fuck it. Long story short: Americans are stupid.</p>
