“shitting on Obama’s carpet and calling him a poor housekeeper.”

[kpete]

Intelligence and rational decisions are a threat to the country's continued moranic behavior. Got it?



I once watched a reality show on the BBC (on vacation) where they took a single street in the suburbs of London and cut off ALL government services, and returned the tax money in exchange. In about 2 weeks these people were FREAKING OUT about how to get rid of garbage, clean up graffiti, pay for an elderly man’s nurse care, help poor neighbor’s with their rent, light the streets at night, etc. I would like to repeat that exercise with most of the red states. Or at least send everyone a “bill” showing what they get for their taxes.

Homer: You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know. Way richer than Lenny.

Mr. Burns: Oh, yes. But I'd trade it all for a little more.

1. We need to do that here. Specially in a place like Texas. Let people really see

what'd it be like.

4. Why punish Texas. Let's do it to Boner's f'n street.

And Cantor and the rest of these shits.

They'll cry like a little baby.

2. You'll never get a "bill" showing what you get for your taxes because ....

3. That would be a real eye-opener for some folks I know.

6. If EVERY single

government service -- including military services, veterans benefits, senior and disabled benefits, childhood services, educational institutions and assistance, infrastructure services/maintenance, first responders, etc., etc. -- were stopped, this craziness would last ten minutes. Tops. If they want a shutdown, maybe they should get a REAL shutdown. (This would include their benefits, too, of course. No exceptions. Their salaries, their healthcare coverage, their entire benefit package.)
Evil bastards.
