Dude Kinda Has a Point

Though his rhetoric is the decisively pro-Republitard bullshit that keeps getting those fuckers elected, this dude kinda has a a point when discussing the Demotarded “blame it on Bush” meme it has hatched and nurtured over the past two years: So in that context, let’s just see what Bush and Republicans are to blame for… […]

A Good Start

Earth to Democrats

The Debt Perversion

Debt, by definition, is what one accrues when one spends more money than one has to spend. Demotards and their friends at The Washington Post would have us believe that debt is what one accrues when one doesn’t make as much as one spends.

Phrase of the Day

Political Expediency. Republicans back away from their (correct) stance of withholding further unemployment extensions which are not paid for by equivalent spending cuts elsewhere in the budget, rather than adding yet another $100 billion or so to the public national debt.  Only so long can a party be publicly accused of hating the unfortunate before […]
