A deep insight
President Obama's plan to raise taxes on people making over $250,000 offers a deep insight into what he's all about. In a time of unsustainable budget deficits and historically high unemployment, the president has offered up a plan that will raise approximately $85 billion in additional revenues, not nearly enough to make a dent in our $1.2 trillion annual budget deficit.
At the same time, raising taxes on successful doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs and other "rich" people means they will have less money to hire workers, purchase consumer goods, donate to charity or invest back into the economy. Since in the past Obama has repeatedly said that raising taxes on anybody in a recession is a bad idea, I have to believe he gets this basic concept. So, if the president knows his tax plan can't significantly reduce our debt and has the potential to further weaken our economy, why would he propose it?
Could it be because it gives him a sound bite to advance his false narrative that Republicans care only about the rich? Could it be that he recognizes how miserable his management of the economy has been and needs to promote class warfare to keep his job? Could it be he's just another unprincipled politician who'll do anything for re-election?
I hope those who are on the fence about whom to vote for in the next election will think long and hard about these questions.

Money raised
Am I the only person appalled by the $722,000 the state GOP acquired and the $185,000 the N.C. Democratic Party garnered for their political campaigns (during a 10-week period between late April and June 30) ("Republicans outearn in campaign donations," July 14)? Think what even half of that would do for our needy institutions. Is this some kind of contest?

Finish the Thought
Saturday, we asked readers to complete the sentence:
"The Episcopal General Convention approved a churchwide ceremony to bless same-sex couples because ..."
"… they obviously don't have a clear understanding of God's word concerning homosexual relationships. Homosexual relationships are a sin in God's eyes and should be in our eyes as well. Don't allow beautiful passages that exhort us to 'love one another' include homosexuality, because they most certainly don't. The Episcopal Church may bless same-sex couples, but God, in his infinite wisdom, never has, never will."
KERRY McNEILL
"... they are politically correct, but biblically incorrect. In other words, they are apostate."
WES PATTERSON
"… they wanted to make a statement that they do not believe what the Bible says about same-sex unions. But I'm not surprised, they are doing exactly what the Scripture says, 'you are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do' (John 8:44). Plain and simple."
MITCHELL R. DAVIS
"… it is the right thing to do."
WILLIAM SAMS
"… that's a no-brainer. The Episcopal General Convention has no knowledge of the true Scriptures or of the author of the Bible."
REID JOYCE
"… Episcopalians just continue to circle the wagons and adopt whatever the society around them does, without regard to the authority of Scripture."
ANTHONY FLETCHER
"… as the Very Rev. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, president of Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., said, 'It shows that when this church says it welcomes all people, it means it.' "
KAM BENFIELD
"…the minds of church leaders have become darkened. They have succumbed to the canard that this is about civil rights."
ROSE M. WALSH
"... it's the right thing to do. All people deserve the chance to be with the ones they love. All means all!"

A deep insight. Yes this constant fixation on someone's income is an insight into the "mind" of a redistributionist. Besides, this "issue" polls well among the half of the citizenry that pay no federal income taxes.
ReplyDeleteMoney raised. Yes if you combine the two figures it adds to a healthy sum and would be helpful to our needy institutions. There is no needier institution than government.
ReplyDeleteLTE #1... Factually, the President wants to eliminate tax cuts for income over 250,000. Everyone will continue to enjoy their tax cut on the first 250,000.
ReplyDeleteTax cut? I received $75 after his first year in office. If that's his idea of a tax cut, he can shove it.
DeleteAnd:
DeleteThere are multiple tax increases in the ACA for people making under $250,000. One is on medical devices, and other taxes are on real estate and other 'unearned' income.
The 'unearned' income taxes are explained as follows:
There is a tax of 3.8% tax on “unearned” income over the $200,000/$250,000 threshold. This is income on interest, dividends, capital gains, net rents, royalties, and annuities. Remember, the extra tax is only on the amount above the $200,000/$250,000 threshold.
So this means even if your 'earned' income is less than $250,000, but if your 'unearned' income is above the threshold, you'll still have to pay more in taxes.
In short, if you own a house and sell it, or you have a 401K plan that makes money, you'll be paying more thanks to Obamacare even though you make less than $250,000.
And all of us know how scummy Democrats are: They made all of these taxes come into effect after the election.
I'm not scummy. And the sequestration was a bi-partisan deal last summer. 174 republicans in the house voted for it. they didn't have to.
DeleteWell Bucky, you can give me the 75 if you are dissatisfied. At least you now admit to getting a tax break. People who work got even more of a tax break.
DeleteIn fact almost twice as many Republicans voted for it as democrats, 174+95
DeleteGood Morning Bob.
Deletethe above is referring to the year end sequestration which eliminates the tax cuts and cuts the budget.
Deletegood morning, bucky
DeleteThere are 'some' good people that are Democrats. Most are not.
DeleteIf you weren't so adamant about gay marriage Bob, I'd bet you'd be a Republican. You're too smart to believe in some of their nonsense.
Most are not? How so? So what you're saying is that a majority of democrats are not good people? Please explain.
DeleteThat would be a losing bet, bucky.
DeleteI seriously doubt if Dunce has ever won a bet.
DeleteCertainly all the garbage that he just posted above about the ACA and taxes is dead wrong...more cut and paste without actually understanding anything.
For instance, the real estate tax only applies if you make a profit of $250,000 on the sale of real estate, so if you paid $200,000 for a house and sold it for $480,000 (dream on), you would owe 3.5% of the $30,000 excess over $250,000 profit. I know, way too complicated for the dunce, but there are other posters here who will easily grasp the facts.
The tax is expected to affect less than 3% of the population. Certainly, it will not affect the Dunce, who instead of working sits and watches tv and surfs the web all day, pausing to copy and paste irrelevant stuff to this forum.
Hee....Hee.....I don't live in a loft like you do. Trust me-pothead.
DeleteOne other thing that we can be certain of is that when his stream of "trivial mistakes" is interrupted by some facts, Dunce will respond with some stupid irrelevancy.
DeleteSo you're not denying that you're a pothead?
DeleteIt may be too late anyway. It looks like the earth has already been assimilated by the Lie-borgs.
ReplyDeletelawyers will make out like bandits. Too many years of wink wink nudge nudge between the Federal reserve of NY, Wall Street and the Fed in DC.
Deletethe best way to rob a bank is to own one.
DeleteAnd who owns the 12 Federal Reserves around the country? Big Private Banks.
DeleteThis Lie-borg scandal is something, the Libor effects about 500trillion in financial contracts around the world. That's half a quadrillion or about $100,000 per person on earth.
Deletemakes you wonder just who is monitoring whom. Hedge funds will soon be exploding from London to Switzerland to Singapore to NY. Buy gold. All other currencies are fiat. All fiat currencies die.
DeleteWhitewall, can you explain how carried interest works in real estate transactions. Saw Henry Kravis on CNBC yesterday (KKR fame that took out RJR Nabisco). He said the real problem with carried interest was real estate transactions not hedge funds, but I don't know how carried interest works in real estate. I understand it makes most hedge fund income taxable at 15%.
DeleteWordly...one heck of a good question. In the world of hedge funds and private equity, it is very murky. But realestate is a bit more clear though complex. A good layout within realestate can be found here: Capital Gains, Ordinary Income and Shades of Gray
DeleteBy N. GREGORY MANKIW
Published: March 3, 2012 in NY Times Business day. This is more to my comfort zone and maybe yours too since you have realestate. My income is taxed the same as Romney's was--15% with an effective rate of 11.7% since all my income is "unearned". I didn't hear Kravitz but I don't know why the lack of concern over hedge funds since the domino effect of their failure has global repercussions. Good luck.
Episcopalians are busy on this but other churches are dealing with the heat: It's so dry in Minnesota that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving rain checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.
ReplyDeletetoo funny.
Deletebirds have been seen with potholders for picking up worms.
DeleteI wet-wipe thee in the name of the father, and the son, and the holy ghost...
DeleteLike that.
Amen brother!
DeleteAnd fire hydrants are chasing dogs.
DeleteL-O-EFFIN-L, WW!!! Gotta post this on fb! Do you mind?
DeleteAll those praying for rain, should be praying for the wisdom to be able to deal with drought. Makes a lot more sense to be prepared for drought than it does to pray for rain.
ReplyDeleteThe Iowa corn is pint sized compared to the WV corn. Very, very dry driving through OH, IN, IL and Iowa. Also saw on CNBC last week that farmers were upset about their drought resistant seeds not performing as marketed. These Monsanto seeds cost 10X more than other seeds.
DeleteThey should look into their legal options. If the shoe were on the other foot and they were using those seeds in an unauthorized way, Monsanto's lawyers would be on them like stink on manure.
DeleteI imagine Monsanto's contract says "If we have a problem, you have a problem...if you have a problem, you have a problem."
DeleteIt's part of the corporate creed: Privatize assets, socialize liabilities.
DeleteHow many Charismatics does it take to change a light bulb?
ReplyDeleteOnly one since his/her hands are in the air anyway.
How many Calvinists does it take to change a light bulb?
None. God has predestined when the lights will be on.
How many Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?
CHANGE???????
How many neo-evangelicals does it take to change a light bulb?
No one knows. They can't tell the difference between light and darkness.
How many Pentecostals does it take to change a light bulb?
Ten. One to change the bulb and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
How many TV evangelists does it take to change a light bulb?
One. But for the message of light to continue, send in your donation today.
How many independent, fundamental Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one because anymore would be compromise and ecumenical standards of light would slip.
How many independent protestants does it take to change a light bulb?
At least ten, as they need to hold a debate on whether or not the light bulb exists. Even if they can agree upon the existence of the light bulb, they still may not change it to keep from alienating those who might use other forms of light.
How many Anglicans or Catholics does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They always use candles.
How many campfire worship leaders does it take to change a light bulb?
One. But soon all those around can warm up to its glowing.

How many Amish does it take to change a light bulb?
What's a light bulb?
How many Unitarians does it take to change a light bulb?
300. 12 to sit on the Board which appoints the Nominating and Personnel Committee. 5 to sit on the Nominating and Personnel Committee, which appoints the House Committee. 8 to sit on the House Committee, which appoints the Light Bulb changing committee. 4 to sit on the Light Bulb Changing Committee, which chooses who will screw in the Light Bulb - those 4 then give their own opinion of "screwing in methods" while the one actually does the installation.
How many United Methodists does it take to change a light bulb?
They choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you have found that a light bulb works for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship to your light bulb and present it next month at their annual light bulb Sunday service, in which they will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-lived, and tinted.
Lutherans would adjourn the meeting and step out for a beer.
Deletehmm, maybe that's why the Old Dutch Meeting House in Rural Hall has two red doors.
DeleteThat's the Nazereth Lutheran Evangelical Church, which was founded in the 18th century.
DeleteThe current building was built in 1878. One of the doors was for men, the other for women, who sat separate from each other.
The earlier building on this site had three doors, one on the side which led directly to the slave balcony.
founded in 1778 by the Reverend Adolph Nussman. My Greatx5 Grandfather Johan Jacob Petri donated the land. He and his wife are buried there. Her marker is in German.
DeleteA man walks into the woman's section of a department store and tells the sales clerk he wants to buy a bra for his wife.
ReplyDelete"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquires the man "There is more than one type?"
"There are three types." replies the clerk "The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?"
Still confused the man ask "What is the difference in them?"
The clerk responds "It is really very easy. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills."
I would buy one of each....over the shoulder boulder holders.
DeleteGood afternoon folks!
ReplyDeleteLTE 1: Both Reagan and GHWB raised taxes as well when the deficits were soaring, so what deep insight does that give us about them? The bit about "hiring workers" should be left off, since that is only pertinent if the person's business is a sole proprietorship as opposed to a partnership or corporation (which is a really bad idea if a business is that successful). This LTE is mostly talk radio sound bites.
LTE 2: "Is this some kind of contest?" Yes, it is. There are hundreds of millions, if not over a billion dollars being raised just for the presidential campaign that could be put to far better use elsewhere. More evidence of how evil politics is.
Finish the thought: Why not ask the Episcopalians instead of the general public who doesn't know squat about the church unless they are members? Jesus had nothing to say about homosexuality, but a lot to say about rejecting others and casting judgement. In fact, Jesus's ministry was devoted to reaching out to those whom the religious leaders of the day had shunned for being "sinners" or "unclean". The statement quoted by Mr. Benfield is very much in line with the example set by Christ.
I'll bet you've never heard of Reaganomics, have you dotnet?
DeleteThe four pillars of Reagan's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation of economy, and control money supply to reduce inflation.
You've been listening to these liberal morons, like Rush, haven't you? You know, where they tell lies all day and then they 'think' they become true. Hee...Hee....keep playing tennis with a badminton racket and see how far you get.
I'm dying laughing...poor dotnet never heard of Reaganomics!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteAs always, copied and pasted directly from the Wikipedia article "Reaganomics". Of course, due to his severely limited reading and comprehension skills, Dunce did not read the rest of the article...if he did, he might be in for a big surprise...as Bobby Burns put it the:
"best-laid schemes o' mice an' men. Gang aft agley."
One has to wonder if Dunce is aware that the word "Reaganomics" has been the punchline of about twenty thousand jokes over the last 20 years or so.
DeleteOne has to wonder if Dunce is aware that Reagan more than tripled the national debt.
DeleteOne has to wonder if Dunce is aware that Reagan was a "serial tax raiser"
DeleteAs governor of CA he promoted and signed the biggest state tax increase in US history and more than doubled the state budget...the impact is still being felt today.
One has to wonder if Dunce is aware that Reagan raised taxes in 7 of the 8 years that he served as POTUS...a total of 11 tax raises in all...while cutting taxes for the wealthy.
DeleteTruth is, one has to wonder if Dunce is aware of anything at all.
DeleteSince you're so aware of everything, and I'm not. Why do you fail to realize that our economy sucks, and Obama has done nothing to improve it? Moron?
DeleteSome of my friends from California are so out of touch that they still blame Reagan for everything they don't like.
DeleteDoesn't that sound familiar?
Cities in California are going bankrupt, yet liberal Democrats have enough money to build a 'bullet train'.
DeleteThey just don't get it! They're like Rush, they're morons. There's not other explaination.
So you think capitalism sucks? Well that's new. Expound.
DeleteWhat would Dagny Taggart do?
DeleteJump into bed with Mitt Romney? Hard to imagine the Romney bot in bed with anyone...
DeleteBrad Pitt?
Say what you will about Clinton. He was a sorry rotten scoundrel. And it would all probably be true. But at least he didn't try to wreck the train like Obama is doing!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see a liberal, Democratic politician on TV, I get this pushing sensation between my posterior cheeks, and it's not a good feeling.
DeleteI'm going to push as hard as I can, and I'm going to try not to let them shove something up there if I can help it.
You're too weak.
DeleteBush wrecked the train and now that it is back on the tracks, it would be nice if the idiot Republicans would take their hands off the brake, so we could get going again.
DeleteBack on it's tracks? Yeah, if you like riding the Tweetsie Railroad around in circles, and going nowhere.
DeleteI don't know if I'm getting weaker or these liberal bucks are getting bigger Bob.
DeleteIn Dunce's world, weak is strong...dumb is smart...and the bad end is the only end he thinks about.
DeleteDeadly force justified in Winston Salem:
ReplyDelete"After considering the facts and all applicable laws, it was determined that the evidence showed that the shooting of Anthony McArthur Sr. by James Wartefus Samuels was an act of self-defense, in that Anthony McArthur Sr. confronted James Samuels with deadly force prior to the shooting," police continued.
______
You'll NEVER convince morons like Rush it was justified!
Why would I need to convince Rush or anyone else for that matter?
DeleteI just like calling Rush a moron-either directly or indirectly. Because he is.
Deleteso you enjoy calling people names. interesting.
Deletea sense of joy through degradation
DeleteRush is a special case, he deserves to be called names.
DeleteI call you Bob now, in case you haven't noticed.
DeleteI still like to use descriptive language. I'm not too worried about political correctness in case you haven't noticed.
DeleteI'll bet you've got a couple of hard drives full of my comments, don't you Bob?
I notice everything, Bucky.
DeleteYou sure "bet" a lot for a man who claims he doesn't bet.
DeleteIn Vegas, people who bet are known as "losers"...they are the GDP of Vegas.
DeleteFort Hood Report Faults FBI for Missteps, Cites Political Correctness
ReplyDelete___________
Well, most of us knew that type of thinking was going to get someone killed. Looks like people are finally admitting it in this case.
Michele Bachmann needs an intervention.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she could jump into bed with Dagny Taggart. Dunce would like that. The fact that Bachmann was once the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination tells you all you need to know about the GOP.
ReplyDeleteWe should mention the names of the other GOP fruitcakes who cosigned Bachmann's letter:
Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia, and Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas. With friends like those, who needs enemies?
Or maybe she should just stay in bed with her latest bedmate, Romney acolyte John Sununu, who speaking about Mr. Obama said “I wish this president would learn how to be an American."
DeleteInteresting comment coming from a dunce born in Havana, where his whole family was in bed with Fulgencio Batista. The sewage continues to bubble to the surface.
Let's see, Sununu's father was a Palestinian. Yasser Arafat was a Palestinian. Therefore John Sununu must be a terrorist.
DeleteWell done, Phargo. You've got the Republican way of thinking down pat.
DeleteHis mother was born in El Salvador, so he is also one of those Mexican illegal aliens.
The Democratic way of thinking is that opposition to their agenda is based on racism.
DeleteBullshit and you know it. The Democratic way of thinking is that the government is gridlocked by a bunch of tax obsessed fools who have the nerve to name themselves after real American patriots.
DeleteThe Democratic way of thinking is to also understand that if we are to get the economy moving in any meaningful way and begin chipping away at the national debt, we must both raise taxes and lower spending. They have agreed to lower the spending, but the TB fools will not budge on the taxes, because they have sold their souls to the US Chamber of Commerce and the military/industrial complex.
If you think Romney is going to change anything, you've got another think coming...he is a weak sister robot, just like the last one, who will do or say whatever it takes to move into the White House. He reminds me of John Edwards without the personality.
No, OT it is not bullshit. We hear racism brought up quite frequently when Dem policies are opposed. I recall a prominent Dem once saying tax cuts were based on racism. As for the gridlock, I'll hand that to both sides in varying proportions. I am not happy with R intransigence, btw, and they need to give on the tax side, yes. But the saintly Dems have their own agendas and their own payoffs to parasitic constituencies. As far as the budget is concerned, there is a reasonable compromise that both sides ignore, and I wish a pix on the lot of them. ALL are ill-serving us.
Delete"pix" should be "pox."
DeleteGot it...pox, as in "A pox on both thy houses."
DeleteShakespeare actually had Mercutio say "A plague on both your houses" in Romeo and Juliet, but the "pox" has a nice biblical sound that I like, along with the "thy".
Yes, I like the Bible in the KJV, with all the archaic wording.
DeleteFrom earlier today: "Privatize assets; socialize liabilities." Clever phrase, consider it stolen. However, isn't that what the much-lauded and cclaimed rescue of GM and its union is?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, and GM and it's unions sat down and compromised. The Tea Party should take lessons.
DeleteYep, but the taxpayers absorbed most of the liabilities.
DeleteNo, actually the bankruptcy did that.
DeleteI recall that we taxpayers took over the company, but I'll ask you to explain the ins and outs when I see you on Saturday.
DeleteTaxpayers are shareholders in the new GM and should get a fair return on the investment, maybe not full, but then the million or so jobs saved will be worth it,
DeleteCorrect...it's just killing Stab that the plan, which involved union/company cooperation, worked. That flies in the face of the "evil union" theory of everything that is wrong with America.
DeleteWe taxpayers are still on the hook, but we have GM stock as equity, and that stock is slowly rising.
Meanwhile, both GM and Chrysler have created a ton of new jobs. It comes down to the same sort of Tea Party thinking. Do we want GM and Chrysler to succeed, even if it means that our wacky political theories go down the drain, along with the USA?
Your choice.
Hey if GM and Chrysler had disappeared, so would NASCAR.
DeleteNo, it is not killing me. And this nonsense about 1MM jobs saved is just that. Had GM and Chrysler failed, many of those plants and workers would continued under new management, perhaps sans the UAW. Yes, some jobs would have been lost, but some were indeed lost, regardless.
DeleteThen there are those humming non-union car plants in RTW states. They didn't need us to pull them out.
I have already explained that the sales rate was overmatched for a while by the scrap rate, so demand has increased, to the general benefit of manufacturers. As that ratio changes, you will see a bit different picture. GM and Chrysler remain at the bottom of car quality ratings. Check the April edition of the Consumer Reports.
Where would they have gotten money to remain viable under new management?
DeleteIf GM and Chrysler had failed, there would have been a cascading effect and a lot of people drawing unemployment
DeleteIIRC, Vehicles that vaguely resemble Fords and Toyotas race in NASCAR. And the new owners of Chrysler and GM would probably have supported entries that resembled their products.
DeleteWho was willing to invest in GM and Chrysler when they were failing?
DeleteThat was the big problem, credit was frozen and no one was willing to become new owners.
Deleteat least I can't recall any private money that was willing at the time of the crisis.
DeleteAs for cascading failure, the bankrupt manufacturers would have been reorganized. Some jobs would have been lost and the UAW might have diminished, praise the thought, but employment would remained more or less static. Some overpaid workers would have lost jobs here and there, while others would have attained work in other US plants. Economies have some Darwinism built into them.
DeleteHad the UAW's angels not been so eager to make us stockholders, other entities would have made moves, at least for prime GM plants, and maybe Chrysler's truck and Jeep products.
DeleteAnd that's it for me tonight. Good discussion, minus bumper stickers.
DeleteRacing has always been a huge deal in the auto industry. Some of us may recognize what a joke that is, but the average auto buyer is hugely influenced by the racing propaganda.
DeleteUntil recent years, American auto racing was dominated by American brands. For decades, the only engine used in the Indianapolis 500 was the Offenhouser, ironically developed from a 1913 French Peugot engine. And NASCAR was dominated by the big American brands.
But in recent years, that has changed. When Toyota entered the NASCAR arena, Jack Roush, the classic American bigot, said that he would hand those demonic foreigners their heads. That hasn't exactly happened, has it?
And from 2006-2011, the only engine used at the Indy 500 was Honda. During that 6 year period, not a single car failed to finish due to engine problems, the only times that that has occurred in the history of Indy racing.
Who is to blame for this? If you listen to certain people, it would be those demonic American unions. But unions do not drive quality decisions...those are driven by corporate executives.
Now that is changing. What do you bet that American racing engines will suddenly improve in reliability?
That still won't mean a thing for the average car buyer, but they will think it does.
Do the Job Creatoors live on Stratos?
ReplyDeleteThey must...they sure as hell don't live in the USA.
DeleteSo John McCain saw 24 years of Romney's tax returns and he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. Makes sense to me.
ReplyDeleteOh goodie. Another 'Solyndra' bites the dusk, this time in NV. That Obama sure can pick some winners.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad my judgement is such that I'd never vote for such a loser.
the things that make you happy seem so strange, "Oh goodie?" some people lost their jobs. Joy from the degradation of others. Capitalism sucks and finally,an admission that taxes have been cut. Such insights we have gained today.
Deleteand since the payroll tax cut was 2% and you say you got a $75 tax break, that would indicate you earned $3,750 that year.
DeleteOne doubts that Dunce earned anything that year. The $75 was a gift from the American people.
DeleteI doubt if anyone pays anyone to sit and watch TV and surf the lower regions of the internet.
Of course, if he really is Tim Whatshisname, he could be making those pretty boy useless knives while he wastes his time on TV and the internet, in which case he might have actually made some money, since there are always some who are willing to pay for useless items.
If I want a knife, I will stick with the old US Marine "KA-BAR" which we all carried in Viet Nam.
Schadenfreude is a German borrow word that the psychiatric community uses for Dunce's condition.
ReplyDeleteIt refers to those who take pleasure at other people's failures.
Studies have shown the condition to be based upon envy by those with low self esteem, which fits perfectly with Dunce's other fears of successful people who are not like him, especially blacks, Latins, gays, etc.
In other words, it means "loser".
Left out one category which really scares the Dunce s__tless...women.
DeleteSince he used to claim to have a son that he took often to public restrooms, not mentioned recently, probably because he doesn't see him very often since the mother found out about the restroom visits...there must be a mother, probably some poor woman who got drunk once and ended up in bed with the Dunce and has regretted it ever since.
His extended bio trail that he has unwittingly left in his unrelenting series of posts even indicates that she was probably foolish enough to marry him at some point, since one of his pathological concerns used to be alimony, similar to John G's claims that alimony is akin to slavery.
Let us hope that she is now elsewhere and safe from his pitiful inadequacies...and the son as well.
I was encouraged to hear John Boehner call Michele Bachmann and Glenn Beck dangerous. Beck is a Mormon.
ReplyDeleteYes, when the extent of the insanity penetrates even the Bonehead, you know that some level of craziness has been passed.
DeleteAnd yes, Beck is a Mormon, but he is also a crybaby, like Bonehead. Is there some connection there?
