"The influence that the religious, intellectual, and political demagogues have in a free society poses a much greater danger to mankind than the risk of allowing a businessman to use his property as he chooses."

Ron Paul, Liberty Defined. (via minarchyintheusa)

Uh, says a guy who uses his political position to push his religious and “intellectual” (if you can call libertarianism that) ideology and uses his private businesses to deceive women and publish racist rants from dipshits who write at a second grade level.

His statement is dumb anyway. If a businessman were to use his property to increase his influence as a religious, intellectual, or political demagogue, then we I guess have Ron Paul’s dreamworld? Or just a statement he made that sounds like it’s saying something, but really isn’t?

"Unfortunately, a lot of young folks haven’t had the opportunity to really understand how the economy works, and what it takes to put people to work in real jobs, and why we have banks, and what banks do. It’s a very understandable sentiment. If you don’t find a job, and you can’t see rising incomes. You’re going to be angry and looking at someone to blame."

Mitt Romney to WBTV in Charlotte, N.C., discussing the protests at Bank of America.

Oh, we young people don’t understand “real jobs” and “what banks do,” yeah?

I argue we do. There’s a lot of us working two and three minimum wage jobs, going to school, graduating, barely surviving, or some combination of the above.

We’re consistently screwed by people like you, Mitt, who gambled with our parents’ retirement, who ensured most of us can never retire, who foreclosed on our families, who laid us off in the name of savings, who pissed away bailouts in executive bonuses and back slaps, as you grin in your expensive suits and tell us repeatedly that we DON’T GET how it works, as you reach into our back pockets for yet another checking account usage fee because we can’t keep a minimum balance, let me tell you…

WE GET IT.

We are fully proletarianized, working ourselves to the bone, paying the same tax rate as you, and praying to whatever is sacred that we do not get sick or injured because we are one paycheck or missed unemployment check away from completed ruin, while you and your cronies line up for another spin at the roulette wheel, your wallets fat from the products of our intellectual and physical labor.

FUCK YOU and your patronizing condescension. Fuck you with the all the fucks my exhausted self has left to give.

Also, some of us aren’t that young. I’m 37 myself, and I wish our current banking system would DIAF.

The Republican field hates you. Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘Oh, there’s that liberal ranting blah blah blah.’ Not this time, OK? I’m serious: Every single one of them sees you are less than human. Let’s take a look at what some are saying and if you’re against abortion or whatever, try to…

In reference to the Romney thing:

Outlawing the pill would have disastrous effects on women in this country. It’s much worse than simply overturning Roe V Wade (which by the way canNOT be done unless the Supreme Court does it, is that straight in everyone’s mind?).

Mitt Romney Is Presidential, Electable, HuffPost-Patch GOP Power Outsiders Say: I love this feature we do with primary/caucus state influentials. Our influentials like Romney’s chances against Obama and they think he’d make a good president. But you can see that big RINO accusation hovering at the middle everything.

If you look at what they said about Perry, the choice looks like what you thought it was: Too much TEXAN or too much RINO.

What do you guys think of when you think of Mitt?

Special underwear and women who cannot get into heaven without being married.
