You're back!
I guess I am, aren't I?
I do, since SS accounts for part of the income at my house.
But I still thought it was funny anyway.
Go figure
about the elderly, poverty, war, human rights, or the future of the nation? Everyone should strive to be as indifferent as possible. It's not like we actually want anything to change. The 1% are handling things just perfectly as is. Everyone knows that posting kitty pics is so much more important than political engagement. 
On the one hand, I'm sorry for all your losses. 
On the other, more humorous hand, remind me to stay out of your living room and run for my life if you ever invite me there. 
It's just interesting how some are bold enough to wag their righteous finger at you with one hand, while pulling dishonest crap like this with the other.
thanks for the support.
There are some profoundly unglued people tonight, and they all dropped by to hate on your LOLcats. If I understand correctly, I myself am a vicious plutocrat without empathy, and probably a few other things I haven't noticed yet. You too. Ain't it amazing?
Actually, I am very sorry for their angst, but it's hard to get a word in edgewise when there's so much flailing. More so since their powers of prediction are limited, as we have experienced over the past 5 years.
That totally made my day. I was trying to figure out which one I could have thrown at me, and that was near the top of the list.
I'm guilty of this one, too:

I wonder what those kittehs were actually hissing at!
Even they know it's bad news.
thank you.
I wish you the best also!
When you stop laughing, you stop feeling. 
Someone is trying to spread a little sunshine here, a little lighten-up.
Mocking and derision = corporate "lightheartedness."
Who Are These People? Foreclosure Firm Staff Mock Homeless People At Halloween Party

who are silly and having little bitty hissyfits. 
I know it probably means a lot to you.
OMGosh!

What the Costumes Reveal
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/29/opinion/what-the-costumes-reveal.html?_r=0
On Friday, the law firm of Steven J. Baum threw a Halloween party. The firm, which is located near Buffalo, is what is commonly referred to as a “foreclosure mill” firm, meaning it represents banks and mortgage servicers as they attempt to foreclose on homeowners and evict them from their homes. Steven J. Baum is, in fact, the largest such firm in New York; it represents virtually all the giant mortgage lenders, including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
The party is the firm’s big annual bash. Employees wear Halloween costumes to the office, where they party until around noon, and then return to work, still in costume. I can’t tell you how people dressed for this year’s party, but I can tell you about last year’s.
That’s because a former employee of Steven J. Baum recently sent me snapshots of last year’s party. In an e-mail, she said that she wanted me to see them because they showed an appalling lack of compassion toward the homeowners — invariably poor and down on their luck — that the Baum firm had brought foreclosure proceedings against.
When we spoke later, she added that the snapshots are an accurate representation of the firm’s mind-set. “There is this really cavalier attitude,” she said. “It doesn’t matter that people are going to lose their homes.” Nor does the firm try to help people get mortgage modifications; the pressure, always, is to foreclose. I told her I wanted to post the photos on The Times’s Web site so that readers could see them. She agreed, but asked to remain anonymous because she said she fears retaliation.
Emotionally-stilted, morally-bankrupt minds think alike!
Sid
call them on their Poutrage .. "they make DU suck". The Hypocrisy is blaring.
Mustn't dare try to interrupt the foaming. Oooops, sheshe did it. 
so I am kicking this thread!

One less serial alerter for 24 hours.
That would be hilarious if it wasn't so mind-numbingly, terrifying stupid. 
Props to Juror #4
BRING IT ON!
Or to steal from another poster in this thread: Just kill me now, Ceiling Cat, just kill me now.
Always did make me
People are whining because they fear they will never be able to retire. Har har har!
Tell another funny joke. 
Good luck with that, I am one. And where did I swear AT you? You posted flamebait, expect pushback. And stop playing the victim.
I'm happy the alert failed. As someone said elsewhere on this delightful thread of yours, it's pulled back the mask. I want you to keep talking... and digging.
Bash Obama policy threads should be at the "VERY top every single day" if he is advancing bad policy. Just as good policy should be highlighted. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?
So much snit over one idiotic impeachment thread. Sensible Centrists really need thicker skin. And you accuse liberals of *poutrage.*
don't care about "the children":
http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2013/04/liberals-getting-distractedagain.html
For 8 years we listened to Bush wackos and Corporate Media call us "unpatriotic"; now the attacks come from Circle Ds. Fuck that shit. And you're getting the push-back you so rightly deserve.
The woman I was referring to was not in the list you provided. And if you read my post more carefully, I said "some," not "all" with regard to cheerleading.
The impeachment suggestion was idiotic, as are the hair-on-fire accusations. This is serious business.
Inspiration? Why, Hamsher, Greenwald, and Taibbi, of course!
Good luck with your father, and I mean that sincerely.
OP feels like a punch to the gut. FDR's compassion for the poor, and the program he set up, united a whole nation behind Democrats for generations. Despite the differences on other issues, the spirit of the New Deal has been one issue that has always united us going on 80 years. It's what differentiates us from "fuck you" Republicans.
So many people will suffer from a SS cut, FDR must be rolling in his grave. How can anyone make light of that? 
Cult of Personality.
and thank you, our voices as one can be strong.
you appear to have struck a nerve.
Sid
to suppress Democratic voting in the 2014 mid terms. It would be hugely popular.
..but THIS thread wins the Award for the MOST
Shallow, Condescending, Smug, Self-Absorbed, Dismissive of People in Need
thread at DU EVER!!!
"Itty, Bitty, HissyFit"?
You should be deeply ashamed.
I wish I could rec it over and over again. But hey to each their own 
Callous:
feeling or showing no sympathy for others, hard-hearted
insensitive; indifferent; unsympathetic,
"Itty Bitty HissyFits"?
Have you no shame?
http://savesocialsecurity.tumblr.com/
With four such cute examples, hard not to!
I already bestowed that award in Post #202 of THIS thread,
and signed my name to it.
Unlike you, I didn't sneak off to another thread and post her name in a Call Out.
Why don't you got to the thread you linked to,
post YOUR defense of the indefensible,
and sign YOUR name to it.
Its easy to find because it is at the top of The Greatest Page
passing through 216 Recs with 18 hours yet to go.
But here, I'll help you out:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022636080
....or maybe you do have a sense of shame.
I just pointed to this embarrassing thread, and all the participants.
I condemned the entire thread as "callous and disgusting".
YOU violated the Call out rule, not me.
I said nothing I have not already said In This Thread under MY name.
I stand by every word.
I also agree with this slightly modified statement in your post:
"As usual, I have no idea"--- Number 23
I am NOT "Anti-Obama".
I AM Pro-Social Security,
and Pro-Democratic Party.
I worked hard to get him elected in a very hostile area of The South.
However, I AM anti-creepiness, and NEVER place personality before principle.
We are very lucky to be living a rich and rewarding life in the Woods of the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas.
Many people say that we are living their dream.
We are excited to be harvesting our first Asparagus spears of the season tomorrow.
They are To-Die-For, and the Strawberries are not far behind.
Looks like another Bumper Crop.
It is surprising how well thing do with a little love.
Cheers!
Think it'll bust 300?
That is pretty rare on DU these days.
Back when this was a Progressive site,
Recs would top 1000 often.
We love our life here.
It is much more than just "surviving".
We "Live Well" on a laughably LOW "taxable" income using stuff we learned in the 60s. My Wife & I have a compatible skill set that makes
living sustainably and independently fun (most of the time).
Our bank account isn't RICH, but our everyday life certainly is.
My Wife is the ONLY Medical First Responder for over 60 square miles,
and we are both active officers and firefighters in our local Fire Department.
When people need help, we are the ones they call.
While that can be a huge Pain-in-the-Ass at 2AM,
it IS immensely rewarding, and we are grateful for this opportunity to be helpful in our little community.
But, again, we were/are very lucky to have this happen for us.
We did some leg work, made some choices, and invested a lot of sweat and sore backs, but LUCK is always a BIG part of the equation.
Planning & Control are subordinate to LUCK & Blessings.
Like most Americans, it can all disappear in the blink of an eye,
so we focus on being grateful every day.
That is WHY a traditional Democratic Party Issue like Social Security is so important to Democrats like us. We have seen what happens without it.
Social Security is the cornerstone of the Modern Democratic Party,
and the New Deal & Great Society Social Programs are a BIG part of WHY my wife & I have worked tirelessly for the Democratic Party for over 40 years.
As far as we're concerned, without THOSE, there IS no worthwhile Democratic Party. ANGER is an appropriate response to seeing these programs marginalized,
and the people who support them ridiculed.
Another "Anti-Obama" Itty Bitty HissyFitter
Adding the link so you can go see all the other "Anti-Obama" fools:

I am proud to stand with the above loyal Democrats!
When you can't support your position with truth, facts, or outside verification,
you just fabricate some fantasy that makes you feel good?
Do you do this often?
Very creative, but childish and unproductive.
Also damaging to DU as a community.
You said:[font color=red]"Those recs are obviously putting food on your table."[/font]
which, of course, is an outright fabrication (polite for "LIE" .
I challenge you to support your claim,
or retract your fabricated Ad Hominem and apologize.
We don't need DU to put food on out table.
We grow our own.
That thread was not about me,
and I did very little work.
That thread is about THESE solid Democrats.
and the hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS of DEMOCRATS who support the cornerstone of the modern Democratic party, Social Security.
I am privileged to have been a small part of making THEIR voices a little louder.
If that gives you pain,
that is YOUR problem, and the others here who discount THEIR voices as "poutrage".
Cheers!

day in and day out over EVERYTHING and then posts his little meaningless OPs and sits breathlessly counting the seconds and the recs is truly the LAST person here that needs to question anyone's intellect, bitterness or any other vaguely human quality.
You got your precious, all important recs. Yeah, you managed to juuuuust squeak past the 300 mark. The socks must be dancing in their drawers! And yet, here you are still posting your... whatever and you accuse ME of being the bitter one?
Why in God's name would I be bitter? The president's approval ratings just came out. He's at 51% and the group keeping him afloat is... LIBERALS as well as the young and female. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/04/08/cnn-poll-obama-at-51-approval-but-lower-on-key-issues/
"The gain among people under 35 years old was a whopping 15 points, compared to no change at all in the middle age brackets and a seven-point drop among senior citizens, possibly fueled by concerns over Obama's proposed changes to Social Security," adds Holland. "Obama has also gained among moderates, while his high support among liberals and his low support among conservatives has remained unchanged."
So sorry to have to tell you. 311 measly recs on a web site that few even know about versus the hundreds of thousands of liberals that support the man and always have. The numbers are not in your favor, though I know that you have totally managed to convince yourself otherwise.
But as I said before, congrats on the 300 recs!
Your wife, I mean... that deer must be so thrilled. I hope so, because this is a serious issue.
You have knowing posted false accusations about a member of DU.
This diminishes YOU,
and it diminishes DU.
I am referring to your post #263 where you stated:
[font color=red][font size=3]"Those recs are obviously putting food on your table."[/font][/font]
which, of course, is an outright fabrication (polite for "LIE" .
I called you on your fabrication,
and asked you to support it, or retract it.
You have failed to do so,
and have knowingly left false information about another member of DU standing
with YOUR name on it.
That is much worse than making a mistake out of confusion and frustration.
That is a sign of desperation and low character.
I take that seriously.
So should you.
So should DU.
If you have enough integrity to correct your falsehoods,
I will amend my posts publicly calling attention to them.
Despite your furious spinning, that exactly what you have done.
Either support your accusations,
or remove them.
That is the RIGHT thing to do.
I take that seriously,
and so should DU.
When the Ancients first got together and established guidelines for their society, one of the first things they agreed upon is that
It is NOT OK to make up Lies about each other and spread them.
Virtually ALL ancient and modern cultures agree.
You state:
[font size=3 color=red]"You could type "Number23 is a poopy head"[/font]
I agree. I could type that,
but I chose not to do so.
I could have fabricated any number of LIES about you and posted them,
but I chose not to do so. Most of us don't knowingly post lies.
Fabricating Lies and posting them IS a sign of desperation and low character.
As promised:
Number23,
You have knowingly posted false accusations about a member of DU.
This diminishes YOU,
and it diminishes DU.
I am referring to your post #263
of the thread

You have the power to make it all go away.
Amend your post and retract the lie.
Yeah, I hear ya. I'm actually thankful for this thread -- it's been a MAJOR eye-opener.

Wow, seriously? A picture of kitties hissing, doth project too much? Seriously, William?
[font size=1]Please don’t fold under the pressure of the Republicans. Change the amount of income on which workers pay the S.S. tax. You know that will work!![/font]
or THIS single mother:
[font size=1]DO NOT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY! I am a widow and depend on Social Security to care for my minor children whose father died. [/font]
Or THIS activist:
Poutrage?
You should be ashamed.
'I am having a hissyfit over the hissyfit commitee, commitee'!
To expose the poutragers who continue to infest every thread. This is like the ultimate honeypot.
