Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself

I don't think they got that memo. I can't wait to have these guys running the country.



I believe this is what that guy meant to say:

It's really pathetic that a guy with Parkinson's won't get up off of his lazy ass and get a job! You don't see Muhammed Ali or Michael J Fox asking for handouts, do you? This guy should just take responsibility for his disease and suck it up. No one forced him to get Parkinson's. It's not our fault that he can't walk. 

If we give him health care, what's next? Government health care for the elderly? It's just un-American. Next thing you know, they'll be getting rid of Medicare and replacing it with government health insurance for the old. That will be the end of the America as we know it.

But just to show you that it's not that I'm selfish, watch me take a couple bucks out of my wallet and throw it in this sick man's face. There! See? I'm not a hard-hearted bastard after all, am I?

Gun Nuts? No, Just Nuts

H/T Digby:





What's striking about these people isn't their professed love of guns. I don't really even see that here. I see people who have a serious self-esteem problem. I see people who need to feel important, and walking around with a loaded gun makes them feel that way.

They think they're defending the US against that Marxist, socialist, fascist Obama. They probably harbor delusions that there will be a big shoot-out one day down at the OK Corral, and that they'll outdraw all the bad guys, shoot 'em all dead, and then bask in the glory as the townspeople gather 'round.

Maybe someone should tell them that real men don't need guns.
