p0wned! But It Still Hurts My Head
Look, I’ve never claimed to be all knowing but seriously, we have got a major problem in this country. I think this problem is bigger than most other problems. I’m not sure it can be cured since most of the people suffering this malady also apparently suffer from another disease that is called, “Phlanges In Ear Canalas I Can’t Hear You La La La Shutupidus.”
People at work love to try to discuss politics and government with me. In fact, a few weeks ago, my boss brought in her questions for her immigration test she had received from her lawyer. Now, I will not say that I knew all of the answers...and it’s a shame I didn’t know some of them, really. BUT, a lot of questions...here’s how it would go, for example:
Boss: “Who said, ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’”
Co-worker 1: Thomas.....
Co-worker 2: Yah, Thomas Jefferson
Me: Patrick Henry
Co-worker 2: No! Sheesh. (laughs at me.)
Co-worker 3: It’s Patrick someone but not Patrick Henry.
Co-worker 1: (walked off)
Co-worker 2: (still laughing at me), It’s Thomas Jefferson. God.
Me: No, it’s Patrick Henry.
Boss lady looks up the answer in the back: Patrick Henry.
Co-worker 2: (looks at me stupidly)
Co-worker 3: (looks at me), So we were both right.
Um, no. I was right, you were not, dumbass.
Anyway, one question was, “How many states are there in the United States?”
Co-worker 1 (who has rejoined the group): 52 if you count Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Me: Um, Hawaii IS the 50th state and Puerto Rico is not a state. However, if you are Barack Obama, (whom these idiots all support), there are 57 states.
Co-workers and boss: (looking at me in bewilderment) What?
Me: Yep, he said there are 57 states and he’s visited or was going to visit all of them.
Co-worker 3: He did NOT say that.
Me: Oh, yes he did. I’d be more than happy to supply you with several news site websites that have quoted him and I can find the video on YouTube so you can hear it come out of his own mouth.
Co-workers and boss: (silence)
p0wned again, bitches!
Co-worker 1: Well, if you count Hawaii and Puerto Rico, he wasn’t that far off.
Lord help me.
I have been having a discussion lately about who should get to vote and who should just get out of the way. I agree with some people and their fathers that if you can’t pass an immigration test AND you don’t pay taxes, you don’t fricken vote. The end.
I mean, seriously, if you don’t know what is going on, how the hell do you have an informed opinion?
So, earlier today, I followed a link from a liberal blog on to another liberal blog, (I refuse to link to this trash), and found the writer stating that McCain should concede because it was obvious, (according to polls by the biased media, that is), that this country wants St. Hope and Change as president. Why waste our time? Let’s just put him in office right now! SCREW our right to actually vote! NO! Let’s allow the 1000 morons outside of Berkely who were polled to speak for all of us. Yes, yes, it’s brilliant.
You know what I think when I read something like that? That person is scared shitless that St. Hope and Change will lose. So, along with the likes of ACORN, we should cheat.
It’s really pointless to even debate most liberals anymore. They are convinced that the Republicans have screwed everything up. They cannot get over George Bush...everything is his fault, don’t you know? Everything. Absolutely everything under the sun. They actually think the media is biased in the Republicans favor....oh, sorry, not extreme enough for you? But then again, they believe every damn thing they hear on t.v. They make up shit and get it to the media. They have short attention spans. They don’t pay attention to jack shit throughout the years, (if they had, then they would know that this current economic issue isn’t the fault of the Conservatives), they don’t question anything about their own candidate; they blindly follow and when you try to give them cold, hard facts, they get angry with you and start with the insults or rude behavior.
Yesterday, I was at work, taking a small break after a tour when a tour guide from a bus company came over and sat down near me. I was minding my own business, not bothering a soul. He started in on the politics and started preaching the Gospel according to St. Hope and Change. I asked him, “Are you serious? You cannot be serious.”
He said, “Yah!!! Obama! He is the greatest!”
I said, “No. I’m not going to sit here and discuss politics with you. I’m not going to listen to any insults and lies any more. I’m sick to death of this crap.” I started to get up and walk away.
He says, “Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!” to my retreating figure.
The rudeness, the complete lack of class runs rampant in those who support St. Hope and Change. I never see them question him. I see many conservatives questioning their own party, over and over and over again no matter who is running and for what seat. I see conservatives researching and rounding up facts and then giving their opinions and they don’t always follow dead to the letter behind the name. They seek truth.
The other side? Not so much. The other side? Yells, screams, gets up in your face, will not respect you when you tell them you do not wish to discuss politics at this time because it is extremely innappropriate at this venue, (work, going away/house warming party such as the case with that little snot twit back in 2003 who would NOT leave me the FUCK alone at a friend’s house party even though I told her no less than 25 times that I was not going to talk politics at a party when people have been drinking. On and on and on she poked and prodded and antagonized and followed me around just being a smarmy little fucking bitch. She is the same bitch who told me that the Republicans were a dying breed. (Really, whore? How did you enjoy Bush those last four years?) I am not the one who even brought politics up in the first place. It was a co-worker who was at this party who decided to blurt out to everyone at the party, “Hey! She’s a Republican!!!!” and they were all liberals.)
Because they are the ones with the open minds and are all about tolerance.
Anyway, the point of this is to say, I agree: If you don’t pay taxes, you don’t vote. If you can’t pass a fucking test, you don’t get to vote, either.
I think that would dwindle the voting population to about 10% of what it is now.
I think one of my projects in the near future is to find all the assholes in my vicinity and ask them who they support. And by assholes I mean, those who cannot spell worth a damn, those who park like shit in parking lots, those who litter those same parking lots with their shopping carts because they are too lazy to bring them back to the front of the store or to the little areas designated for them, those who drive like shit, those who cannot speak a fucking lick of English, those who blare their horns for no other reason than to demand that someone MOVE THEIR ASS the millisecond after the light turned green, those who “graze” in the grocery stores, those who litter their fucking cigarette butts all over the place at work even though we have about 300 hundred fucking ashtrays for them, those who talk loudly and obnoxiously on their cell phones, especially in the movie theater, those who cut in line, those who do not dim their brights at night time as they approach you, those who act like women are nothing more than objects to gawk at and control, those who cheat the system, those who collect unemployment while working for money under the table, those who collect FEMA cards for food after a hurricane even though they don’t actually need those cards and then brag about how they don’t need them, those who price gouge, those who litter on the beach...well, I think you get my point.
And I’ll bet you that most of those people are St. Hope and Change supporters.
