So if I understand DU correctly I'm supposed to believe:
« on: September 20, 2011, 05:52:14 PM »
* That people who earn more than $250,000 a year and only pay 1/3 of that in personal taxes is crippling our economy because they don't pay enough but a government subsidized private sector job that cost over $500,000 in taxpayer funding per job is the key to economic growth.

* Capitalism is bad because it leads to monopolies and that results in shoddy products and high prices but the union's monopoly on labor or socialism's monopoly on production is somehow exempt.

* A heterosexual man serving alongside females in the armed forces is a potential sexual harrasser/offender but gay men serving beside physically fit young hetersexual men will the cardinals of sexual self-restraint.

* Military training turns youn men into savage, soulless killers but gays and women need to be subjected to this same training out of fairness

* A woman who gets drunk and has sex has been assaulted because she was unable to properly consent but the man who was drunk and had sex with her is still criminally liable because he should have known better.

* Abortion clinics should have fewer health regulations than your average roadside taco stand.

* America is an oppressive, racist, imerpialist, exploitative hell hole...and we need to allow 20 million people to enter into it without checks or safeguards.

* Advocating the 10th Amendment of the US constitution is decidedly anti-American.

* Demanding the US withdraw from a nation where terrorists are trying to take control and use it as a base of operations against the US is patriotic but saying spending and taxation in the US is too high is treason.

* Every dollar of government spending nets $1.84 in economic activity even if it does nothing more than track the drinking habits of lesbian prostitutes in southeast Asian countries but spending a single dollar on the US military is a total waste of money with more bad effects than good.

* Joe Camel and Ronald McDonald entice children into unhealthy behaviors but primetime TV porn and condoms at school won't influence them beyond what they're already prone to do.

* Gun ownership leads to heinous acts of violence

* Death row inmates convicted of heinous acts of violence are victims of an unjust system

* Death row inmates deserve 20 years of trial, juries, discovery, evidentiary hearings, cross-examination, expert witnesses, character witenesses, representative council, judicial review, appeals, clemency hearings and advocacy but unborn children are not entitled to a 10 minute, non-invasive sonogram

* What America did the the native populations was horrible so we should give the country back to the hispanics.

* People who plan for their own self-sufficiency and independence are destroying this nation for the rest of us.

* Untold evils await those who smoke cigarettes while eating Happy Meals and the government must step in to protect people from themselves. San Francisco bath houses, on the other hand, are as sacrosanct as churches

* UPDATE: churches are no longer sacrosanct...they give people the wrong opinion of San Francisco bath houses

* Fewer priests would be tempted to molest their child parishioners if only the Catholic church would allow them to join teachers unions.

* That any person in America should be reduced to subsistence living off the land, in scrabbled-together living conditons is a blight of shame unless they're native, in which case it's actually kind of romantic.

* The singular problem with American education is that we only spend 5 times more money per student than all the other nations scoring higher than us.

* Conservatives are mind-numbed, easily-led sheep who are surprisingly resistant to the liberal reality-based community.

* Independent moderates voters were enlightened healers of America's racial divide in 2008 who will be seething, sublimated racists in 2012.

* We're only 20 trillion dollars away from defeating the hypothetical threat of global climate change.

* Christian belief in the absurd idea of a sky-friend is closing people's minds to the earth's screams that we stop raping her.

* Spending $3,700,000,000,000 annually on the federal government alone is a good deal for all the wonderful benefits and social services its provides to enrich and better our lives; you just don't know a good deal when you see one.

* Barack Obama knows what he's talking about.

* Michelle Obama is a snappy dresser.

* We need a fairness doctrine to make sure FOX news doesn't overpower the other 532 channels on your TV.

* Any and all ill-effects of indiscriminate sex can be resolved by ready access to birth control and abortion thus obviating the need for monogamous marriages

* Marriage is a moral fabrication of a repressive, capitalistic patriarchy

* America will lose its moral compass if 1% of the population is not allowed to legally marry.

* Corporations pay taxes, not consumers

* If you just give them total control over your education, health, economy, science, recreation, food, finances and society they swear to Gaia they'll get it right this time

* If an infinite number of liberals typing on an infinite number of keyboards for an infinite amount of time they might one day be able to come up with a coherent policy statement

Ok that's funny.

And Sg. SBunny That is a darn fine post which needs a wider disemination.  How about a nice Youtube? I have no idea of the complexity of producing them but it sure would be great subject matter.  


It would be wasted at the dump.  Too many notes.

MORE:


* We’re only a few more trillion dollars away from lifting America’s poor into the lower-middle class

* If you pay for someone’s food, housing, transportation, heating, medicine, telephone, education, retirement and social services without making any demands on them you will somehow motivate them to go to work full-time to pay for their own well-being and repay society.

* Not taxing a private business expense is a government subsidy

* Gays are just as good as parenting, single parent households are just as two-parent households and men are at best secondary to determining the fate of their children’s’ lives and that should in no way impact the civilization built over the last 2,000 years before these ideas became politically vogue

* A man has no say if he doesn’t want his child aborted.

* A man has no say if the mother refuses to marry/divorces him but demands child support.

* High taxes on cigarettes is effective in curbing smoking but high taxes on business are based on a static behavioral model

* Taking vital industries out of the economic democracy of the free-market and putting them under the control of politicians will somehow mute the effectiveness of cronies, lobbyists and special interests

* When they said pro-choice they didn’t mean it when it came to schools, food, recreation, religious convictions, news media or the naming of sports teams

* A sports team named after indigenous cultures is offensive to indigenous cultures.

* A sports team named after non-indigenous cultures is offensive to indigenous cultures.

* Christian unscientific belief in the absurd idea of a sky-friend is closing people's minds to the earth's screams that we stop raping her.

*Reparations for what your great-great-great-grandfather may or may not have done or failed to do is the only way to get people today to stop calling you a filthy, honky racist.

*If only the Jews would stop retaliating the Muslims would stop instigating.

* You can't put a price on a human life but paying the military to prevent another 9/11 costs too much

* You have to pass bills in order to find out what's in them.

* You have to pass bills so you can write them.

* Its Bush's fault that Obama had to spend more money than everyone prior to him combined.

* Roads, police, firemen, etc never existed till Karl Marx wrote his book ("if you don't like socialism, then you don't like police, roads, firemen, etc").

Actually, that's the case most of the time.

You may read what's in a bill, but no one ever knows how it's going to impact normal people
until it's passed and the bureaucratic regulators issue all their rules and regulations to enforce it.

The bureaucracy is a lot more powerful and dangerous in domestic matters than the Congress.

If your parents leave you money when they die, you aren't deserving of that money since you did nothing to earn it.
We need to tax the rich so that people who didn't do a thing to earn it can be taken care of.

Raising taxes will create jobs.
Tax cuts are theft from the poor.

Taking terrorism seriously is nothing but fear mongering.
Climate change is going to kill the planet in 5 years, unless we raise taxes now.

But the government did nothing to earn that money either.  Why should they be able to tax the same dollar twice?

* Tolerance demands Christianity be cleansed from society

* DOCTOR Martin Luther King sounds hipper than REVEREND Martin Luther King

* America's educational system and infrastructure have been allowed to deteriorate to such a degree that we're on the verge of economic collapse so we need another half-trillion dollars on top of the $800 in stimulus money to fix it because only the government is competent enough to maintain the education and infrastructure it ran into the ground

* It only takes a 5 minute speech to disown 22 years of virulent racism spewed from a Marxist pulpit masquerading as a church but 1 off-the-cuff comment taken out-of-context will cost you your position as senate majority leader.

* Apparently all those lynchings of blacks by racists during the 60s was over marginal tax rates or something

* Celebrities that make more money than they would ever need to feed their vanity/drug-induced anorexia have enough moral authority to tell you what CEOs of Fortune 500 companies should be allowed to earn even though celebrity incomes are derived from people's disposable income paid by corporate jobs.

* Voting to keep what you work for is voting against your own best interest.

* The only problem with liberalism is that voters are rejecting the message about them being a bunch of brainwashed, money-grubbing, war mongering, toothless, uneducated, gun-clutching, Bible-thumping, in-bred, ingrates at the trailer park.

* Muslim terrorists have highjacked a good and decent religion so be sure to show reverential respect and deference when carrying their religious observances

* All Christians are potential terrorists

* 100 million dead citizens in 50 years is not reflective of proper socialism

* Forcing women to wear burqas under threat of physical abuse is somehow striking a blow against sexual objectification

* A movement populated by unattractive bull dykes somehow has a valid opinion about sexual objectification

* A woman can do anything with her body except go into politics as a republican

* Social Security is totally NOT a rip-off scheme, we just need the people who make too much money to collect benefits to pay more into it.
 
* Mass marketed Che Guevera shirts really tell The Man what's what

* Anything a republican agrees to is mean-spirited and anytime a republican disagrees it is obstructionist

* people elect conservative republicans in historically record numbers in historically democratic districts to punish Obama for not being leftist enough

* Rush Limbaugh fat jokes are grounds enough for discrediting him and Michael Moore has good ideas on how to feed the poor

* Republicans are going to take total, ruthless, fascist control of American society by gutting government to the barest essentials and making people self-reliant

* Drug dealers are victms of society. Pharmaceutical firms recouping their $400 million, 10-year investments for life-saving cancer drugs and continuing their research are parasites

* Happy Meals, bad. Marijuana, good.

* Pot smokers are much more socially responsible and conversationally interesting than alcoholics

* Every liberal social prescription costs billions of dollars but conservatives preaching self-reliance are money-grubbers

* Christians are clinging to a bygone era at the expense of scientific advancement but animists, shamans and pagans are noble savages

* Liberals are here to warn you about GOP fascism, vote fraud, brainwashing, economic doom, environmental doom, food doom, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Muslim bigotry and--um--oh yeah--fear-mongering

* The Kennedy clan actually gives a shit about a community organizer from Chicago who would normally be arrested were he found driving through their neighborhood at night

* Cops will spend hours in you average yard hedge waiting for unsuspecting native Americans to wander past before leaping out at them on the pretext a random stumble is public drunkeness

* Out: tent revival conversions. In: grocery store check-out lane conversions/excorcisms

* If you go on DU to call out conservative cavers you're being totally badass, dude

No problem.  Because you asked, madam, I obeyed.

You're right though, about the DUmping Ground being obscure, as compared with the DUmpster, and it's too bad for the lurking primitives who think the DUmpster's the only place to hang around here.

The DUmping Ground has lots and lots of good stuff on the primitives and on Skins's island in it.

I suggest the lurking primitives check out the DUmping Ground too, to see how much decent and civilized people know about them.
