Excerpt 1:

But now there are a lot more “takers” than “makers” in this country – and the impact is systemic and long-lasting.

A prevalent new “moocher culture” is changing the character of this nation – that’s the core message of A Nation of Moochers: America’s Addiction to Getting Something for Nothing, a new book by Charles J. Sykes, senior fellow at the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute and the author of six previous books.

Excerpt 2:

“In the wake of the Great Recession, we’ve shifted from a culture of celebrating and encouraging those who are productive and hardworking, to a culture where handouts, bailouts, freebies and entitlements dominate.

You start to wonder, Why am I paying the freight for those who have been reckless and irresponsible, whether it’s on Wall Street or in Washington or anywhere else in the community?

Comments:

1.  First off, fuck off, I mean really.  If the point of this bullshit is that ordinary Americans take more than Corporate America, this asshole needs a dirtnap.  I don’t see evidence of that at all.

2.  Second, we would be much more a nation of makers if the corporate takers weren’t so in love with Chinese-no health insurance-shitty low wage-super high profit makers.

And who’s doing the exporting of the makers?  Hmmm…..

Iraq is Angered by U.S. Drones Patrolling its skies

Comment:

Is this a giant American blind spot?
Do you want unmanned armed drones flying over your neighborhhood?

You better think long and hard on this one, because my prediction is that U.S. citizens are going to be getting droned in the near future.

It doesn’t make me support or sympathize with the po po at all.

And like that, this year’s Davos World Economic Forum has come and gone, having achieved nothing except allowing a bunch of representatives of the status quo to feel even more self-righteous and important in the world’s biggest annual circle jerk, in which fawning journalists ask the questions their cue cards demand…

Comments:

1.  The world’s biggest circle jerk.  At least some folks are connected to reality.
2.  As I see the present strategy, you are allowed to complain about shitty things are for people, but it’s nothing is really gonna change because it would decrease profits to stop certain predatory and speculative financial practices and…

3.  if your life sucks because you lost your job and someone helped put you in a house you couldn’t afford and you have tens of thousands of dollars of student debt IT’S REALLY YOUR FAULT, ISN’T IT?

If you think our current economic and political systems are broken, then it becomes more urgent and necessary to engage in such protests.

And the part I don’t understand is that if you did great during the bubble and you’re doing fine now that means the system works for YOU.  It doesn’t mean that it’s okay to have extremely high unemployment, all sorts of foreclosure fraud and a completely broken political system.

That’s an intellectually weak conclusion and a very dangerous move.  You’re betting that the economy is going to improve enough and the political system is going to come together at some point to produce enough loot to trickle down and get to those millions of people, and I don’t really see that happenin’ any time soon.

When you have the controlling group of humans in charge so out of touch and engaging in ‘let them eat cake’ narratives, it’s not going to end well.

(Reuters) – Riot police fought running skirmishes with anti-Wall Street protesters on Saturday, firing tear gas and bean bag projectiles and arresting more than 200 people in clashes that injured three officers and at least one demonstrator.

Predictions:

1.  Drones being flown against Americans are right around the corner.

2.  I see the chances that this period of political instability over economic issues being resolved without a significant crackdown on domestic civil liberties as being very slim.

3.  The right to protest in this country is starting to look very narrowly defined.

“This week a few handpicked and selectively edited comments which Newt made during his 40-year career were used to claim that Newt was somehow anti-Reagan and isn’t conservative enough to go against the accepted moderate in the primary race,” she wrote. “What we saw with this ridiculous opposition dump on Newt was nothing short of Stalin-esque rewriting of history. It was Alinsky tactics at their worst.”

Comment:

The MILF Palin is super hot and super fiery, but her grip on history is not tight. Josef Stalin killed 20-30 million of his own people and didn’t re-write history.  Other Soviet leaders re-wrote and covered up what Stalin did, but these are Republicans and we’re not concerned with facts.

What I’m sure about is that the MILF Palin denigrates others by comparing them to Stalin, but deep inside she kinda digs Stalin.

All the Republicans do, they love the dictators.  They say they love freedom, but what they really want to do is small all opposition, and ram their agenda up everybody’s ass.

Like Stalin.
