Congratulations to MrScorpio, the #03 Top DUmmie of 2012!
One’s surprised to see that the dork, who’s been amusing and entertaining decent and civilized people for years, has only ever made one other appearance in the top DUmmies, and that a very long time, ago, as #14 top primitive in 2005, the first year of the awards.
This seems to be a year of paying long-overdue bills.

O’Dorkio is in his forties, formerly in the military, where he served honorably, ostensibly married, and apparently living in or near Detroit; one isn’t sure.
He’s a big
aficiando of family history, and has done rather thorough work in that direction, remarking upon those who came before him with a sensitivity and warmth that makes it a joy to read.
The first time franksolich spied a photograph of McDorkio, he seemed to resemble nothing more than a pineapple for a head sitting atop a body shaped like a larger pineapple. It must’ve been a bad pose, however, because since then, his self-posted photographs betray he’s not quite that way; a little bit that way, but not quite.
However, one comes not to praise the dork, but to ridicule him for his silly pretensions.

In years past, O’Dorkio used to be what’s considered a “lounge lizard,†the forum he usually hung around on Skins’s island. He was notorious for trying to “pick up chicks†there, although one’s mystified as to why, because chicks in sordid squalid red-light districts are cleaner and better-looking than primitive chicks.
All this flirting and courting and wooing was simply vicarious, of course, but one notices that since the dork ostensibly got married, his lusty ardor seems to have calmed down. Or perhaps it’s just the mellowing of middle-age.

McDorkio tries to come across as an “internet tough guy,†a phenomenon that’s been discussed in the DUmpster many times before.

Around this time I usually post a rant about how much I hate Republicans
You know that I really hate them, right?
Good.
Well, instead of going deep into the details, let's just stipulate that for now.
There… Got that off my chest.

In case you may or may not have noticed this...
But the Obama Administration follows a particular pattern:
That when given the choice between playing favorites for his traditional groups of supporters against his duty to adhere to the laws on the books, he's going to choose the laws on the books as written.
franksolich: 
Now, yes, he does tend to engender animosity and aggravation against himself at times by doing that. But, don't be naive in thinking that he doesn't understand that a lot of people will get mad at him for doing for doing precisely that.
People are bound to get upset with him because of the way he interprets our laws, that he should zig instead of zag.
Now, my understanding of such behavior is that he holds his non-partisan role as chief executive and his obligation as chief defender of the state above all. In spite of all the flaws of the state, in spite of his own personal preferences which may run contrary, in spite of whatever partisan gains that he could get from doing otherwise… He's going to follow the rules that have been laid down before him. What that does is depict him as the guy who's willing to make tough calls and not someone who's going to pander to his base.
franksolich:
Frankly, I would think that he does that because he actually wants you to get mad… But not just at him, but at the way that the government itself has always operated and the laws that have been passed long before he was even elected to office. That the things our that government does from time to time are unfair and many times unjust. Well, that's just life pointing out that it stinks… Sorry about that.
Now, I should point out that it was this very thing that made the Bush administration so dangerous, which was their pattern of establishing so much bad precedence for subsequent administrations, even Democratic ones.
It's not that Obama could be seen as continuing bad Bush policies, the REAL danger here is that many of these horrible policies that we're confronted with are actually applicable to the very core of government itself, regardless of whatever party is in charge. Bush, himself, was just an expert at creating more bad policies than any of his predecessors.
Now, what should be a reasonable expectation of the governed here? How should you respond when it looks like that Obama is going out of his way to piss you off by not chucking all those bad laws off the books all by his lonesome? Think about this for a sec before you respond.
What is the most suitable and sustainable way to enact a change in the general direction of the government?
What's reasonable?
What's pragmatic?
To what extent are adults willing to go?
Well, I can tell you that it isn't by expecting that Obama change his willingness to piss of his supporters to get the job done and, thus, risk the fact that they'd throw a temper tantrum stay at home from the polls. This, my friends, is precisely the time to step up the game to actually change the face the entire government and its laws therein.
That's right, you have to get up off you butts and do something about it. You have to take to the streets, which is the best thing that I liked about OWS, but also you have to take to the polls as well. Because, you see, I really never expected for him to make unilateral moves that would only be cheered on by the liberal base and would ultimately render himself politically vulnerable to his detractors on the Right. He has enough problems as it is with trying to get the no-brainer stuff past this Congress and the courts.
You can't just sit back and let him be the only one to take the flack for stuff that only interests you. He simply is not going to do that if he has to run a government instead. So, yeah… I get that you're pissed off. That's good, you ought to be pissed off. But don't just expect everything to stop at the Oval Office, because that's only last for as long you have someone friendly IN office. That could change the moment he or she finds themselves out. The harder path is required for REAL change, and that means changing the direction of government at ALL levels.
So, if you want to change how the game is play, you're going have to change the rules that the players are following.

I really hate Republicans, I really do
The smarminess, the lying, the racism, the sexism, and hate that they have for poor and working people and just plain old people in general…
How these people can live with themselves is impossible to understand.

I've decided to reply to net trolls who write me crap in comment sections w/a standardized statement
Yes, I do realize that they won't give a flying ****. They are, after all, TROLLS.
However, I'm betting that they can read ENGLISH and although I'm only conversant in two languages myself, English and Bad English, writing this statement is the only way that I feel that I can get my point across to them.
I do not know how to write in Trollese.
So here it is. And if you don't mind, please tell me what you think about it:
Thanks of the reply.
However, I do not intend to counter your argument. Based on my own past experience of conversing with people like yourself, who only want to recite a certain type of rhetoric on the internet and are not really interested in having a cogent conversation… Invariably, these discussions turn out to be pointless exercises in futility. So please save any further attempts to have a pointless argument, I won't respond to any further rhetorical responses.
Now, understand that I won't attempt to dissuade you from your opinion, although I will concede that you are entitled to have it for yourself. It's only fair.
Instead, I'm going to tell you why I won't accept your opinion as one that I would agree with.
It's been my experience that your rhetoric is the product of frequent and prolonged exposure to a particular type of media. You trust that media no matter what. They are people who could tell you that the sky was made of jelly beans and you would believe them with no questions asked. All you're doing right now is reciting that rhetoric. You haven't taken any actual time or effort to explore alternate sources of information which may contradict the rhetoric and thus, constrain you from repeating it. Instead you have decided to accept and recite the rhetoric as gospel anyway.
Anything I will say to you will most likely contradict your argument. Even if I were to provide irrefutable data and highly logical points to counter your rhetoric, you will invariably reject it.
You're probably rejecting this very sentence that you're reading right now. I know this because you have found me so objectionable that you've had to reply to my comment with your recitation of rhetoric in the first place. So, no matter what, you are pre-programmed to disagree with me and my words.
So be it.
Let me conclude with some advice that you will not accept at all: Please form convincing arguments instead of reciting pointless rhetoric. That stuff is really easy to refute. People who have taken the time and effort to get good information will never repeat what you've just written. You won't help things by making other people misinformed when you repeat bad information. The good stuff out there, but only if you're willing to process it.
People who recite ridiculous crap on the internet really have no idea what they're talking about and they never, ever try bothering to understand the people who actually do.
That is why you're reading this right now… Because I know who you are.
Good day
I will kindly appreciate your observations and advice.

I said this four years ago, here's an update
Obviously, there are some folks on the Internet who weren't happy with the election
This message is for them.
Fine... I hope that they bitch and grumble all they want. It's their right.
However, there's a line, when crossed, which goes from bitching and moaning to actual threats.
This is America, where we have good reason to take threats seriously.
Threats require action.
The people of DU are patriots. They care for the safety of any President, even that jackass, George W. Bush.
We understand that the REelection of Barack Hussein Obama is a very emotional event in most of our lives.
But, we the people of DU, will never stand idly by and allow anyone or any group to threaten the life of President Obama or his family.
We are responsible and vigilant enough to report any such threat promptly to the proper authorities.
Let this serve as a warning: Do not issue threats, idle or otherwise, under penalty of LAW.
We are very serious about this matter.
Signed,
MrScorpio, Member of the Democratic Underground
I would appreciate other member's endorsements

Whenever you hear someone describe themselves as a "Republican"…
You can take it as a cue that it means that they're about to start being an asshole.
