This guy just comes off as a complete douche.

Then again, if this is something he believes, then yes, he IS a complete douchebag.

It's MSNBC: of course he believes this shit.

EDIT:



[spoiler]1. and if that place is a desert? in which case, things have to be imported--especially food
2. Not everyone can do that, and frankly, it's often too time and labor intensive
3. easier said than done.
4. So if a kid gets tetanus, you let him die? or alternately, you let people die or your child to get sick, because you didn't vaccinate him? fuck...
5. Cannabis I can understand, but homeopathy and avoiding prescription meds all together? it's the latter that is partly the reason we live into our 80's these days. and Homeopathy? for real?
6. OK...as long as it isn't this sort of bullshit.
7. Not always.
8. depends on what channels you got, but OK.
9. wtf? people need to cut romanticizing the rural or nomad life: it's not something that is possible with 7 billion people. And it's not a matter of debate: for all it's foibles, I still think the city is one of mankind's best inventions. Some of us live in cities: there wealth and industry is clustered: this in turn produces products and inventions the rurals and nomads benefit from: they in turn bring in food. and the cycle repeats. Eventually everybody wins: so long as Govco doesn't fuck it all in the ass.
10. cut the platitudes.[/spoiler]

in short: the poster is hippie garbage.

It sounded like sarcasm to me.

possible, though being I'm not sure that is the case myself.

I have found the ultimate in Obamaton fail. I occasionally go to e-reader IQ to get their samples of e-books for the Kindle. Yesterday I got this 17 page atrocity. "BARACK OBAMA WHY ALL THE HATE?   PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? Kindle Edition. Unfortunately while free for me it is now $2.99 so don't buy.

Some interesting statements.

"Bush did the same thing when he decided to use TARP for the financial industry crisis, yet he's not hated"

PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? (Kindle Locations 121-124).  . Kindle Edition.

"Even Bush who started the dumbest war ever (as dumb as Viet Nam) isn't hated for it.   And even after he started it, the operation of it was so idiotic; I'm embarrassed as hell about it but still, there isn't any hate."

PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? (Kindle Locations 224-226).  . Kindle Edition.

Yes people, you heard it here first. Bush isn't hated. Even for TARP and starting the Iraq war based on bull shit. Also notice the awesome prose in that two sentence paragraph. That was the entire paragraph btw. I especially love how the war in Iraq is the dumbest in history while being as dumb as Vietnam.

Then there are some interesting statements without citations.

"The auto company bailouts are another huge subject that brings out the hate towards Obama. The auto industry is so huge that 5 out of 10 jobs in the Midwest are actually attributed to the auto industry."

PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? (Kindle Locations 104-106).  . Kindle Edition.

"If AIG would have reneged on the insurance policies, we can only guess what would have happened but I'll suggest (as every financial expert in the world did) that the entire financial industry would have failed"

PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? (Kindle Locations 92-95).  . Kindle Edition.

Every financial expert in the world, huh? Unanimous consensus for the first time in human history.

Then there is the reason he claims people hate Obama.

"And it leaves to one conclusion, and it's the same conclusion I've have since the early 70' s. About half of the white residents (probably more) of the United States of America are racist who hate black people."

PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? (Kindle Locations 228-230).  . Kindle Edition.

Forget the fact that it should read "are racists who hate" or "are racist and hate", this seems to require some sort of evidence. You may ask how so many people can be so bigoted. His response.

"And it's too bad they can't get over it and it's too bad it will never stop. As long as parents tell their children about their hate of the black person, it will continue. How else could children in 9th and 10th grade who never ever met a black person in their life, form an opinion of hate and distrust? They learn it from their parents or another trusted adult and until that stops, we will always have a racial divide in this country.


PRess, Vincent (2012-08-13). Barack Obama - Why All The Hate? (Kindle Locations 233-239).  . Kindle Edition.


Yes, people in the U.S. can make it to 14 or 15 and never meet one African American in their lives. This isn't fail because it is pro-Obama fluff, it's fail because this guy is a moron.

While it is an anti-Romney ad, it continues the bogosity that cutting medicare will kill old people.

[Ibrahim90]

well, he's is right...in part.

there is work available: problem is, most of it are in fields most people are not "qualified" for: licensing laws, exorbitantly expensive education requirements, and stupidly unnecessary emphasis on experience (when all the experienced people are literally retiring on us all--especially in geology*), all keep people from work. Add to that the "slow job growth", the inflation of our currency, and the continued loss of jobs in the private sector, all combine to hinder people from work.

and you know what they all have in common? Government has a direct role in all these causes--as an initiating force.

so what does a person like the above shithead do? blame it all on the unemployed people and the various companies... and uses the old "company profits are evil" bullshit. And yes, he is blaming every unemployed person for being just that: just read that poster again, and think about it. And to rub insult to injury, he's implying that what I can only describe as a dumbass version of Marxism (let that sink in: a dumbass version of a dumbass idea), is the solution: working for "needs" instead of "profit". like we're all neolithic people or something. And in light of the US' infrastructure, he is also implying that the very government that created the mess we're in, is on way we can achieve his retarded vision--afterall, in the US, Schools and parks are largely public, aren't they?


*in case you're wondering, no, I'm not employed: not even minimum wage jobs want anything to do with me. reason? I have no "experience". why? cuz a worker is a massive investment. Why? Minimum wage laws, licensing laws, laws about drilling, excavating, etc.

[evensgrey]

Of course schools and parks are largely government areas in the US (and most of the rest of the developed world).  When governments force everyone to pay into their system, it becomes much harder for private operations to compete unless they're VASTLY better, since all the potential customers have less money as a result of being forced to pay for the other system.  If the government system is seen as 'adequate' and it's a great hardship for people to pay the extra charge for private replacements, they naturally don't.

I honestly laughed (and still laugh) at this.  If I hadn't been told otherwise, I still would have thought this to be a anti-liberal ad making fun of the paranoid fantasies of the left.

[FSBlueApocalypse]

I have a very simple comment about 1% vs. 99% and our health care issue:

Not everything in this country has to make a profit. Take the profit motive into the health of people and you torpedo the incentive to just make that person better and you become another pawn in a gigantic pharmaceutical industry.

Ask yourself this - Why should said industry bother to cure you when there's more money in keeping you sick or dependent on expensive medication?

[Ibrahim90]

I honestly laughed (and still laugh) at this.  If I hadn't been told otherwise, I still would have thought this to be a anti-liberal ad making fun of the paranoid fantasies of the left.

well, with all honesty I was kinda disappointed by this commercial: I was expecting something involving fire, blood, and maybe cancer.

kinda like this:

I'm telling ye, the Obamatons don't even have any flair or imagination. At least when you act like a jackass (as Obamatons are wont to do (same with the romneyphiles), you do it with flair.

There goes Claire again, demonstrating that she doesn't actually know anything about anything beyond geology and German music.
