Romney being booed by audience at NAACP is proof he is a RAAAAACIST! [Darleen Click]

Just when you think the Left has reached the bottom of delusional race-baiting, now comes the charge that Romney staged the booing at the NAACP in order to appeal to “his racist base.”

Politicians don’t write speeches expecting to be booed. They try to word their views in a way to appeal to voters. Mitt Romney didn’t write his speech to appeal to African Americans. He intentionally wrote it to be booed by blacks in order to appeal to the racists in his base.

Avis Jones-DeWeever, the executive director of the National Council of Negro Women, said Romney had accomplished a “calculated political ploy” by signaling to conservatives that he’s willing to tell backers of the health law that he wants to cut it. […]

Reed, on a conference call organized by the Democratic National Committee after Romney’s speech, accused Romney of staging a “political stunt” that was aimed more at Republicans who weren’t in the room.

“He wasn’t speaking to the NAACP audience at all,” Reed said. “To his base it will make him look strong, but he never stands up to anybody else.”

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter added that “black folks are not going to sit there and listen to some of that nonsense” and said that the episode was comparable to the optics of a video showing Romney speaking to black schoolchildren in Philadelphia.

If nothing else, Romney has demonstrated how so many American blacks are willing to betray the work of the Civil Rights movement in order to be taken care of by Master in the Big White House.

    “We expect you to lie to us. Anything else is a cynical ploy.”

  2. Danger says:

    So Mitt was speaking in Coded NeoConese

    C’mon Darleen do you have that alternate internet virus?
    Cus that had to be an Onion piece, am I right?

  3. dicentra says:

    Here’s a transcript of the speech
    .

    What wasn’t booed:

    The point is that when decades of the same promises keep producing the same failures, then it’s reasonable to rethink our approach – and consider a new plan.

    I’m hopeful that together we can set a new direction in federal policy, starting where many of our problems do – with the family. A study from the Brookings Institution has shown that for those who graduate from high school, get a full-time job, and wait until 21 before they marry and then have their first child, the probability of being poor is two percent. And if those factors are absent, the probability of being poor is 76 percent.

    Here at the NAACP, you understand the deep and lasting difference the family makes. Your former executive director, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, had it exactly right. The family, he said, “remains the bulwark and the mainstay of the black community. That great truth must not be overlooked.”

    Any policy that lifts up and honors the family is going to be good for the country, and that must be our goal. As President, I will promote strong families – and I will defend traditional marriage.

    As you may have heard from my opponent, I am also a believer in the free-enterprise system. I believe it can bring change where so many well-meaning government programs have failed. I’ve never heard anyone look around an impoverished neighborhood and say, “You know, there’s too much free enterprise around here. Too many shops, too many jobs, too many people putting money in the bank.”

    What you hear, of course, is how do we bring in jobs? How do we make good, honest employers want to move in and stay? And with the shape this economy is in, we’re asking that more than ever.

    Free enterprise is still the greatest force for upward mobility, economic security, and the expansion of the middle class. We have seen in recent years what it’s like to have less free enterprise. As President, I will show the good things that can happen when we have more – more business activity, more jobs, more opportunity, more paychecks, more savings accounts.

    On Day One, I will begin turning this economy around with a plan for the middle class. And I don’t mean just those who are middle class now – I also mean those who have waited so long for their chance to join the middle class.

    The bolded section is for people like ‘feets who can’t understand why the Godbotherers have to keep interrupting the talk about spendings and socialisms to talk about other people’s sex lives: because if you don’t bridle your passions and be an adult about when you commit parenthood, you and your kids end up on the welfare plantation.

    And that holds true no matter what your race.

  4. happyfeet says:

    National Soros Radio is thinking along these exact same lines

    Even the moment he was booed (did Romney’s speechwriters deliberately choose the freighted word “Obamacare”?) seemed calibrated to resonate with voters outside the walls of the convention hall.

    imagine that

  5. happyfeet says:

    nobody outside of Utah is contemplating voting for Romney cause of his backcountry religious views dicentra

    his job is to fix the economy nobody wants marriage tips from him or his diseased whore

  6. newrouter says:

    his job is to fix the economy nobody wants marriage tips from him or his diseased whore

    they want his gazpacho recipe i tell you

  7. happyfeet says:

    everyone needs quick and easy summer soups for their family at a price they can afford

  8. bh says:

    This booed or not booed thing is pretty close to a hecklers veto.

    Fuck that noise.

    In related news, the NAACP is both a lie and a racket. Their applause for Holder told us how to treat this dirty and corrupt institution.

  9. newrouter says:

    everyone needs quick and easy summer soups for their family at a price they can afford

    mittens is looking for “broad” based support

  10. happyfeet says:

    mostly Mr. newrouter it’s not necessary at all at all at all to ever confuzzle Mitt Romney with someone who brings any even minute amount of moral authority to the table

    this is the sad unprincipled wheedling little whore who invented obamacare and he has no more moral fucking authority than his fellow Harvard trash pal John Roberts

  11. McGehee says:

    “We expect you to lie to us. Anything else is a cynical ploy.”

    Remember how Dubya outraged Democrats with his cynical ploy of keeping his campaign promises, in those long-forgotten days before 9/11?

  12. bh says:

    The NAACP supports the wanton murder of Mexicans, other things.

    There’s your headline.

  13. Pablo says:

    “A study from the Brookings Institution has shown that for those who graduate from high school, get a full-time job, and wait until 21 before they marry and then have their first child, the probability of being poor is two percent. And if those factors are absent, the probability of being poor is 76 percent.” = backcountry religious views

    Eat a dick for Jesus, ‘feets.

  14. newrouter says:

    no more moral fucking authority than his fellow Harvard trash pal John Roberts

    well the cucumber soup recipe mittens will provide before august i hope

  15. happyfeet says:

    “Any policy that lifts up and honors the family is going to be good for the country, and that must be our goal. As President, I will promote strong families – and I will defend traditional marriage.” = backcountry religious views

    you don’t have to eat a dick though unless you really want to

  16. leigh says:

    The NAACP is rather elitist. It costs large bank to go to their conventions and purchase a pass for all the events.

    They are not the 99%.

  17. newrouter says:

    you don’t have to eat a dick though unless you really want to

    one can do it now. no need for society to “bless” your behavior.

  18. leigh says:

    Happy, don’t ever call Ann Romney a “diseased whore”. To the best of my knowledge, she has never turned a trick and MS is a progressive muscular disease that can happen to anyone since the mechanisms aren’t well understood. My late MIL had it and it is a terrible thing.

  19. bh says:

    his job is to fix the economy nobody wants marriage tips from him or his diseased whore

    How are you something other than a griefer and a troll at this point, ‘feets?

    Don’t you feel normal human empathy anymore? That’s fucked up.

  20. Pablo says:

    As President, I will promote strong families – and I will defend traditional marriage.”

    That doesn’t sound like Iowa to me. Sounds more like California and Texas. You’re such a rube, ‘feets.

  21. Pablo says:

    How are you something other than a griefer and a troll at this point, ‘feets?

    Willful suspension of disbelief is the only way I see.

  22. Darleen says:

    A study from the Brookings Institution has shown that for those who graduate from high school, get a full-time job, and wait until 21 before they marry and then have their first child, the probability of being poor is two percent. And if those factors are absent, the probability of being poor is 76 percent.

    Whereupon, griefer sticks his fingers in his ears, stomps his feet, and screams WHORE WHORES I’M SURROUNDED BY WHORES

    Hopefully his worried neighbors will ask that he be 5150’d

  23. happyfeet says:

    no I don’t feel anything for the bizarro romney clan except a dim hope that maybe just maybe he’ll implement better economic policies than obama

    other than that the whole goddamn family can suck dancing horse dick I think

  24. Pablo says:

    Hopefully his worried neighbors will ask that he be 5150?d

    His neighbors are likely 5150 themselves.

  25. happyfeet says:

    I’ll point out as well Mr. bh, my hall monitor friend, that I was amiably playing along with the thread until someone tells me I need to take a moral lesson from

    Mitt Fucking Romney?

    Mitt loves abortion more than I do and he’s not gonna do a goddamn thing to scribble bullshit about traditional marriage into John Roberts’s constitution – so let’s not pretend our Harvard trash pal is some kind ofGreat White Moral Hope

    his job is to fix the economy

  26. leigh says:

    I believe he has said many times that he has the know-how to fix the economy.

    Lighten up, Francis.

  27. happyfeet says:

    there should be a space between “of” and “Great” btw

    one of my neighbors is in Italy right now and the other one just got a job I’m very proud of her now we just need to find her a guy cause she’s a hard-working single mom, and you know what that’s ok we’re not gonna judge her

    she has very pretty eyes and she can cook up a storm

  28. Pablo says:

    Part of fixing the economy is getting poors and hoors employable and off the tit. Duh.

  29. happyfeet says:

    I’m sorry about what happened to your mother in law btw

    NG’s father in law just died but very suddenly not degeneratively

    I sent a ham

  30. Pablo says:

    Another part of fixing the economy is to get people more focused on their business and less on what might could go up their ass. Derp.

  31. happyfeet says:

    Part of fixing the economy is getting poors and hoors employable and off the tit. Duh.

    I think these are more follow-on effects of, you know, actually fixing the economy.

    Poor people just don’t move the GDP dial very much sad to say.

    It’s one of their crosses what they bear.

  32. happyfeet says:

    oh which reminders me I have to order flowers from the office for the memorial does anyone have a site for that?

  33. bh says:

    Your constant desire to hit the weaknesses of tangential characters to those you dislike is ugly, ‘feets. For your own sake, change course.

    I’m done with you.

  34. Darleen says:

    Poor people just don’t move the GDP dial very much sad to say.

    so sucking significant percentages of Fed/State/Local $$/resources doesn’t matter?

    Like, it’s a different solar system? Unicorn farts? What?

  35. happyfeet says:

    yeah well I’m done with you too so up your nose with a rubber hose

  36. happyfeet says:

    the eitc ensures that they still get to suck government tit as they get back to work darleen

    and Team R lurvs them some eitc

    I’ve never understood that

  37. Pablo says:

    Poor people just don’t move the GDP dial very much sad to say.

    No, poor people don’t. People who avoid being poor do. Product = production = not poor. Moron. Poor people move the deficit, though.

  38. Pablo says:

    You need to send flowers? Here, of course.

  39. bh says:

    Good point, griefer. Let’s waste a few dozen comments chasing down that new waste of time.

  40. Pablo says:

    Republicans love rich people and want everyone to be rich. Democrats and happyfeet love poor people and…

  41. happyfeet says:

    well either way I think Romney will have better luck focusing on actual economic stuff than haughtily lecturing America about moral issues

    nobody cares

    and you know him he like things what are measurable and benchmarky so once in office he’ll probably be all about trade pacts and tax reform

  42. bh says:

    Hey, have you heard anything new on NPR today?

  43. newrouter says:

    she can cook up a storm

    gazpacho or busts

  44. BigBangHunter says:

    Foodie stamps feets, not crosses. The LBGT clan you’re so enamored with wants the poor to bear foodie stamps, nevah crosses….

  45. Pablo says:

    nobody cares

    Very true. You do indeed.

  46. Darleen says:

    look hf, I actually believe if there is to be any kind of gov safety net, the ietc is just about right.

    BUT not with all the other goodies too … SNAP & EBT & TANSF &Medicaid & WIC & Section 8 & …. ad nauseum

    A straight cash payment, one time a year and then if you screw up go beg at your local church.

    Or dig some ditches, sweep some floors.

    I’m good with that.

  47. Darleen says:

    hf

    You cannot CANNOT separate economic issues from morals

    Why the fuck do you think they call it a work ethic

  48. happyfeet says:

    Hey, have you heard anything new on NPR today?

    I have faithfully kept you apprised of my NPR listenings today

    Darleen I think we’re mostly on the same page about the welfares.

  49. happyfeet says:

    You cannot CANNOT separate economic issues from morals

    I can indeed and I do it with aplomb.

  50. Darleen says:

    sure griefer you can separate them

    but then you fail at both

  51. bh says:

    If we had comment numbering we could develop a vigorous griefing metric.

  52. sdferr says:

    Weber again? Really?

  53. happyfeet says:

    we’ll see about that cause Mitt isn’t gonna be all moral issues boy when he gets elected you can (almost) take that to the bank

    he’s gonna be all Six Sigma and best alternative resolution and whatever

  54. newrouter says:

    how tedious where’s the gazpacho recipe?

  55. BigBangHunter says:

    – Actually Darleen, I don’t buy all the “moral issue” squaking and jabber. If they want to hand out a reasonable portion of my taxes to the needy I’m fine with that. I just want the money to buy burritos for the Chilin’, and not blow for some crack addict momma.

    – Unless you think feeding the kids instead of your habit is, heaven forbid, a bitter clinger godbothering morale issue.

    – I call bullshit on that. Its just common decency, but the “social diversity” crew has never shied away from strawmen arguments that I know of.

  56. Danger says:

    I have a compressed cervical disk due to years of helmet/nvg wear in rotary and fixed wing aircraft. The resulting stiffness makes it difficult to sleep and often leads to headaches and a lack of patience mostly with my wife and kids.

    I will occasionally react very harshly to things that are really not worth getting worked up over. I should really ask for forgiveness more often.

    I bet they’d appreciate it.

  57. newrouter says:

    he’s gonna be all Six Sigma and best alternative resolution and whatever

    mr. mittens maybe a hostile takeover choom dude

  58. bh says:

    I understand what D is saying, sdferr. Do you understand what ‘feets is saying? They’re conditionally related.

  59. sdferr says:

    I understand what Darleen is saying. I jes don’t see the virtue in picking up ones opponents’ gun to put to ones head.

  60. BigBangHunter says:

    “….I jes don’t see the virtue in picking up ones opponents’ gun to put to ones head.”

    – Especially when their guns are smoke and mirrors.

  61. bh says:

    And we’ll fault D on this account given the context? No, ‘feets has posited his morality (which isn’t a bit of laughable Germanic sociology) and it’s fucked up.

    Likewise, Danger, I’m normally with you on the hall monitor crew but we can’t have civilized conversations with this griefer buzzing his “diseased whore” in our ears.

    This isn’t a discussion anymore. It’s the shit you hear back by the dumpsters behind the bar.

    I require more. I don’t belong in such company.

  62. bh says:

    As simply as I can put it, “This isn’t a conversation between adults. I’m an adult. Either this changes or I’m in the wrong place.”

    D and I can talk about morality. We’ve done it before. ‘Feets has turned himself into a hateful vulgarian. I don’t need to be around such people.

  63. happyfeet says:

    somebody has his grumpypants on today

  64. Darleen says:

    I just find the whole “oh we’re too modern to bother with MORALS we are about higher things like a WORKING ECONOMY”

    just another form of the “pragmatist” vs “ideologue” debate

    Oh my why on earth would anyone be so unpragmatic as to stick to Constitutional morals principles when the economy is in such dire straits!

    It’s not only a false argument, but one where the motives of those saying such obvious nonsense need to be questioned.

  65. Abe Froman says:

    Ah. I see the babbling fudge muppet is at it again. So glad I keep my comment readings to a minimum these days.

  66. bh says:

    Sometimes when you turn yourself into a little ball of hate you lose friends, ‘feets.

  67. happyfeet says:

    Darleen Romney isn’t about moral principles any more than he’s about any other kind of principles

    he’s not a principled person

    he’s mostly just a way better choice than Obama

  68. pdbuttons says:

    Bill Cosbys sweater just went to def-con 4

  69. Pablo says:

    somebody has his grumpypants on today

    Somebody needs to go fuck himself. Sideways. With a frozen swordfish.

  70. happyfeet says:

    Mr. bh at least I’m an honest pikachu and when I say I have no esteem for clan Romney I mean it and I communicate it effectively

    they’re not symbols of hope they’re not something to believe in

    they’re weird

    but also they’re just the whores Team R is nominating this time, and at least this one has the sense to focus on the economy unlike the cowardly geriatric phony they chose last time

  71. Danger says:

    “I’m normally with you on the hall monitor crew”

    bh,

    The hall monitor issue includes carrots and sticks and sometimes the stick is the correct choice.

    Friends understand that in reality it isn’t the monitor that makes the choice but he always and saves the baby regardless of the condition of the bathwater.

    You trackin?

  72. Abe Froman says:

    Happyfeet hates periods. I blame his misogyny for this.

  73. BigBangHunter says:

    – And with that Cosby’s sweater just went to def-con 2….

    ….There will be a short intermission while admin assfucks the N00b trying to hi-jack the thread…..

    ….standby

  74. geoffb says:

    progressive muscular disease

    It’s an auto-immune disease in which your immune system attacks the myelin, which insulates the nerves, in your brain and spinal cord. Symptoms depend on what nerves are attacked and how badly damaged they are. Cause is unknown. No cures, only ways to slow the progress. I’ve spent the past 11 years in intense study of this disease as my lovely wife has it, the diseased whore.

    Fucking hell.

  75. Danger says:

    someone please take a stick to the extra “and” in my comment above but save the rest of that baby;)

  76. happyfeet says:

    I’m sorry Mr. geoff I didn’t mean to suggest anything about your wife at all at all I wish I had thought of that before I opened my stupid mouth

  77. BigBangHunter says:

    ….We now return you to your regularly scheduled program….

    – Have a nice McFucking day sunshine.

  78. happyfeet says:

    good point Mr. Hunter

    I think for so Mr. geoff has the full measure of my regret I will go away now perhaps never to return

    two roads sometimes go different ways when you’re in a forest of yellow trees

    Mr. bh take good care of these wazzles, and remember me fondly

    also try not to be so grumpy

  79. bh says:

    Ehhh, for the record, I do belong here. I shouldn’t have phrased my
    thoughts that way.

    Give me a baby to bathwater ratio and I might track you, Danger. At the moment I’m thinking it’s been a fetid, empty tub for awhile.

  80. happyfeet says:

    not off to a roaring start on the not being grumpy thing are we

  81. Abe Froman says:

    Just. Go. Away.

  82. happyfeet says:

    ok I’m leaving

    *hugs*

  83. BigBangHunter says:

    – Falling on your sword feets does not take away the sting of the words, or “unsay” them for you.

    – Maybe just a bit more decorum in the future.

  84. bh says:

    How about you fuck off and I’ll refrain from pointing out how ludicrous it is to pretend you just realized that individuals might take offence to diseased whore?

    Did you know that after my wife died I actually heard something remarkably similar from someone like yourself? A couple times. Did you know that a friend of this blog basically disappeared rather than hear such a thing from thor?

    Grumpy? You’re a child. You don’t even understand what you say.

  85. dicentra says:

    until someone tells me I need to take a moral lesson from

    Mitt Fucking Romney?

    That “someone” is named dicentra, feets. And you think Mitt’s a moralizer? I’m 10 times worse. Not running for POTUS, I can moralize all I want.

    BTW, the moral lesson comes from “A study from the Brookings Institution,” which Romney cited, and I can guaran-damn-tee you that Mitt and Ann Romney and their entire clan have walked that talk and therefore have ample moral standing to let on that if you don’t want to be poor, stay in school and keep your pants on.

    Or is facing the facts of life too advanced for you?

  86. happyfeet says:

    i didn’t just realize that but there’s causing offense and then there’s causing offense to Mr. geoff I think

    so for reals I’m leaving so stop yelling at me

  87. happyfeet says:

    bye dicentra for what it’s worth I think the schooling and the pants are very good advice

    just not what we need to elect a president for

  88. Danger says:

    What happened to you Happyfeet?

    I remember a time when your comments were a source of encouragement. You are far too intellegent to be oblivious to the pain you’ve inflicted on some very good people.

    You’ve been witness to the struggles of Brian Teixeira and Ric Locke. You’ve been watched Serr8d and Donald losing their wives suddenly and you’re aware of the loss of Pablo’s daughter as a child.

    And you must have noticed that all of them have something in common. They didn’t allow the pain and loss they encountered to define them or affect how they treated others

    What possible justification can you provide for the way you’ve acted here?

  89. maggie katzen says:

    “just not what we need to elect a president for”

    Cause how dare he try to help the economy.

    And yes, I’m just cranky.

  90. dicentra says:

    just not what we need to elect a president for

    O_o

    The president(ial candidate) should not stand in front of the NAACP—some of whom are the worst enablers of the pathological behavior that keeps generations upon generations of blacks in a hellhole—and speak a fundamental truth, the recognition of which would solve a multitude of problems?

    Yeah.

    Perhaps you’d like to slam Joe Leiberman for publicly praising Sabbath observance? Then you’d at least be even-handed.

  91. BigBangHunter says:

    – Kids get yelled at feets. Adults get rebuffed soundly for over the line attitude. Which are you?

  92. Danger says:

    “Give me a baby to bathwater ratio and I might track you, Danger. At the moment I’m thinking it’s been a fetid, empty tub for awhile.”

    bh,
    A quick glance at this thread and I’d say it’s 12.75 to one (newrouter’s making progress;)

  93. guinspen says:

    Nothing has happened to slewfoot. He’s been a griefer from day one. Any percieved courtesies are part and parcel of his shell game.

  94. BigBangHunter says:

    – How about those Mets…..

  95. Pellegri says:

    I.

    Wow.

    If this were 4chan, this is where I’d put in I’m posting in an epic thread.

    (Which part did the NAACP boo at, di?

    Further observation: Knowing you’d be booed does not mean that you “set up the booing”, ffs. I think most college graduates, libtarded though they may be, know the difference between “making a prediction” and “generating a self-fulfilling prophecy”. How dumb are these people at this point that they think people will buy that idea?)

  96. bh says:

    My good humor is hereby scheduled to return sometime tomorrow afternoon, Danger. 3 and a 1/2 day weekend.

    Yes, there will be a smoked pork butt.

  97. bh says:

    I’d invite guins over in honor of his so often being right about things but it’s my understanding that he’s many train rides away.

  98. maggie katzen says:

    Mmmm pork.

    I got nothin. Can’t sleep and I’m emailing rto stuff about the tx voter id law for a conversation I’m no longer allowed to participate in because of my “tone”

  99. BigBangHunter says:

    – Rather than deconstruct the motives on either side, I think we can safely say the reponse by the audience pretty much exposes the real reasons for ObamaTaxCare in an indelible way.

    – And I’ll denounce myself saving the Left some time.

  100. Danger says:

    “How dumb are these people at this point that they think people will buy that idea?)”

    About as dumb as anyone that believes that Mitt Romney is a Neocon in disguise.

  101. Danger says:

    “because of my “tone””

    et tu Maggie?
    Please tell me you didn’t go all happyfeet on somebody;)

  102. bh says:

    You could harness your insomnia and suggest a good dry rub for pork, Maggie.

  103. Danger says:

    “Yes, there will be a smoked pork butt.”

    Is that what they’re calling the “good humor” remedy these days?

    Man, I’m so out of touch;)

  104. Pellegri says:

    l-lol

    Too true, Danger.

  105. maggie katzen says:

    Bh, I had “pork rib shaped patties” in BBQ sauce for dinner last night. So I’m prolly not the best source for actually cooking real pork.

    Rto will be home in a couple days thank goodness.

  106. maggie katzen says:

    I dunno danger, does posting a picture of a cat with a watermelon declaring your argument invalid count? Cause I think that’s what did it.

  107. Danger says:

    Ok,

    Lights out Outlaws,
    Revelry will sound soon and I can assure you that their will still be plenty of foreheads needing warheads!.

  108. Danger says:

    “does posting a picture of a cat with a watermelon declaring your argument invalid count?”

    Maggie.

    Only if the cat was bright yellow. Something about that color amplifies the crazy;)

    Yes, it said so right on the label, Danger. “For a return of good humor, smoke this bad boy.” Btw, I think we had our wires crossed earlier on the whole baby to bathtub dealio. As a blog we have a very good ratio in these parts. I was thinking something more limited.

    Maggie, you don’t need to pass along a good dry rub, silly. You just passed along the mental picture of you posting “your argument is invalid” with a picture of a cat with a watermelon. You’re ahead of the game in my book.

    ““The Fed is being cautious,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina. “We are not at the threshold yet to justify additional securities purchases and a further increase in the balance sheet. We have to wait for a more of a slowdown before the Fed will act.”

    – Translation: “We need more inflation to lower the debt.”

    – Oh well, if we’re going to suffer at least ~O~ will too when the next unemployment figures are released.

    I’m perfectly happy for a candidate to address the social issues (that are rooted in morality) that are decaying our society FINANCIALLY. I don’t know why the frack Obama doesn’t mention them occasionally.

    Go ahead and have a baby by yourself, but if that kids grows up to be a thug and you’re on welfare (and then they are too) – you are DOING IT WRONG.

  118. Pablo says:

    The problem is that Romney never ever ever talks about fixing the economy. He’s always yammering on about where Obama keeps his money and the war on women and so forth.

  119. Car in says:

    Second cousin up there. More coffee was needed.

  120. Darleen says:

    Let’s also consider that many Democrats have been trying to “frame the narrative” by using “moral” language. But they refuse to actually explain what they mean – unlike what Romney did here.

    Like everything else for Leftists, there is no such thing as consequences to behavior. It is will alone (and excellent motives) that gets one from point A to point Big Nanny Government.

    Hence, if the goal isn’t reached, then it’s because of evil people standing in their way.

  121. Car in says:

    The woman in the article I linked is trying to erase away the consequences of her behavior, with aid, etc.

    She made shitty choice after shitty choice, and now she needs everyone’s help to get her out of the mess she’s created.

    Ironically, she’s not really responsible, because she wasn’t raised in a nice home and didn’t know better.

    He’s one of them.

  123. Car in says:

    Well, he’s not really. And, before he ascended on high he would occasionally address the issues plaguing the black community. No black person has ever had a bigger megaphone. Even Michelle could have done it.

  127. Matt says:

    BBH, you mentioned you were ok with paying to take care of the poor. For me, it depends on the circumstances. There are the truly poor ie the ones that cannot work, are disabled, mentally ill, etc and then there are the lazy, who collect a government paycheck rather than work. I deposed a lady in an insurance case yesterday- she told me she was unemployed and collecting wellfare and foodstamps- she’s a 35 year old employable person (albeit with a bad attitude)– i asked her when the last time she had been employed and she said 2008. I then asked her when was the last time she looked for or applied for a job and she gets a smirk on her face and says “I ain’t looked for a job since 2008. Why bother?”.

    Those are the poor I have zero interest in helping. Charity should be a personal decision, not a mandate from the government. Just my 2 cents.

    Churches do an excellent job of sorting the truly needy from the slothful. Gubmint doesn’t even try.

  129. Pablo says:

    Stepp has three children by three different fathers. The father of her eldest child, 10-year-old Isaiah, is serving 30 years in federal prison for armed robbery.

    Stupidity has consequences.

  130. Pablo says:

    Next time, try not being a whore. Or work some birth control in.

  131. Car in says:

    Stepp says she was the victim of youthful optimism. She kept thinking that the next guy had to be better than the last, and that the relationships would last.

    She just went ahead and made a baby with ’em while waiting for the answer to that question.

  132. Car in says:

    I think one of these groups is bigger than the other.

    It need not even be the church. If hf and his secular humanist knobgobbling club wanted decided to offer services to the poor in between their boutique cupcake-fueled orgies of self-loathing, they’d certainly do a better job than the State, and at a lower cost, and I’d most likely be happy to support their program (for the poor, not the cupcakes).

    On the religious/moral side of the equation, we cannot repeat enough that charity is a virtue, and theft is a sin. Replacing private, voluntary charity with government entitlements stolen from the productive at gunpoint is simply evil. It replaces a virtue with a sin; it convinces people that they are Good and Righteous because they support the “right kind” of theft; it encourages fraud and abuse and never-ending dependence on the thieves. By every measure, it corrupts and corrodes society at large and the souls of each individual who participates in the entire rotten system. It is Evil. Visible, measurable Evil.

    Which part did the NAACP boo at, di?

    When he said he’d defund/eliminate all unnecessary gubmint junk such as Obamacare.

    Then he went off-script and pointed out that a survey of business owners revealed that most of them see Obamacare as an impediment to hiring more people, which, that hurts black folk, too.

    His main topics were improving education (vouchers all around!), getting business back on its feet, stay in school/keep ya pants on, and I’m going to be everybody’s president, so I better ask everybody for their vote.

    It was overall a highly respectful talk sans pandering and sans paternalism.

  136. dicentra says:

    OK, here’s an easy analogy that you can share with your clueless friends:

    You’ve got three eagles in a zoo: one with a missing wing, one with a busted wing, and one that’s perfectly healthy.

    Your options are to keep the eagle in the zoo or return it to the wild.

    The eagle with the missing wing stays in the zoo—no brainer. Sending it into the wild guarantees that it starves to death.

    The eagle with the busted wing? Obviously, you help mend the wing.

    But once it’s OK, do you keep it or the healthy one in the zoo? I mean, in the zoo, they have free healthcare, free food, free shelter, and free protection from enemies, power lines, and bullets.

    But no one in their right mind thinks that it’s better for the healthy eagles to stay in the zoo. Not only is it better for them to be in the wild, it’s better for the wild if they are in it.

    Same with people: the ones with missing wings stay in the zoo, but the goal has to be that the others are rehabilitated into the wild, for the sake of the eagles and for the sake of the ecosystem.

    Doy.

    Now get out there and send the eagles back into the mountains, as God intended.

    That’s kind of presumptive, I think.

    Proposing to improve education with new forms of government meddling isn’t the path. Get government out of education. Be free, little birds — take wing.

    Romney is the most extreme candidate the GOP has ever fielded according to the progressives, but he still thinks government is the solution to problems.

  141. Curmudgeon says:

    How are you something other than a griefer and a troll at this point, ‘feets?

    Don’t you feel normal human empathy anymore? That’s fucked up.

    The Rule Of The Anus leads to confused and even destructive thinking. Certain orifaces are meant to be exit only.

  142. Slartibartfast says:

    Oh, that is some funny stuff, right there.

  143. Curmudgeon says:

    well either way I think Romney will have better luck focusing on actual economic stuff than haughtily lecturing America about moral issues

    Sorry, but the moral chickens are coming home to economic roost. One would think the AIDS epidemic of the 1980’s would have taught you that.

    and you know him he like things what are measurable and benchmarky so once in office he’ll probably be all about trade pacts and tax reform

    So if you think it’s just for show, why are you so upset?

    Like I said, the Rule Of The Anus leads to confused thinking.

    Wow, that was the least classy thing Happyfeet has done in a while. And that’s saying something.

    We are talking about the dumb bunny who got his ass kicked off HOT AIR where vulgar lying stupid passive-aggressive trolls manage to avoid bans for years – because he was too much of an ass even for *them*.

    I remember the old days, years ago, when Happyfeet was… well, pretty much the same, actually.

  146. serr8d says:

    I recall a much different ‘feets. One who had good musics to link and who could provide a delightfully tangential take on a knotty issue. Gave us ‘dirty socialist’, ‘lobsterpot bimbos’ and ‘national Soros radio’, &c. But out of nowhere also the ‘cumslut’ nonsense and hatreds of good, strong, Conservative women.

    I can only wonder if he picked up a particularly virulent strain of syphilis ?

    I suspect you’re right, Pablo. He should get hypnotized and get over it.

    No, it was before Palin that I noticed ‘feets becoming irrational(er)…regarding that fellow who wanted to teach schoolkids how-to fistings, what was his name…

    Oh! Kevin Jennings! ‘feets was so emotionally attached to that fray, I wondered if he was Kevin Jennings!

    This is one shocking sentence…

    Under federal civil rights laws, a lending practice is illegal if it has a disparate impact on minority borrowers, even without evidence of discriminatory intent.

    Even.Without.Evidence.

    I believe Sarah drove him nuts before we ever knew who Obama wanted to have make our schools safe. Which didn’t work at all, btw.

  153. serr8d says:

    Prolly you’re right, Pablo. Just to me the Jennings tantrum he threw seems to stick out like a (dare I say it?) sore fist.
