Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Yeah……no. Richt seems to be very tolerant compared to the average person of that level of devoutness, but this would be icky.

Personally, while I don’t think he’s a politician of any stripe, if you had to pigeon-hole CMR, I’d tend to think that he’s more of a Jimmy Carter Democrat. Hard to be as conversant with the Gospels as he seems to be AND be a “Fuck the poor!” kinda guy.

So is your opinion that anyone other than a “Jimmy Carter Democrat” has a “Fuck the poor!” attitude? I believe your generalization is showing.

No. I’m saying that the Republican party and its media outlets: Fox News and talk radio currently have a “Fuck the poor!” attitude. Which, as I best understand it, wasn’t Jesus’ position.

Oh, for chrissakes, that old saw about the “deficit” and “entitlements”…the one that only ever comes out when a Democrat is busy reducing the deficit–evidence of which is readily available if you actually look at such things–instead of increasing it by spending shit-tons on the military/war effort.
Please do come with something better than that. Maybe you can bitch about how “happy holidays” does mortal cultural harm to “christmas” or something.

I don’t care who is the president, 20 Trillion dollars in debt and climbing is not a sustainable way to run a nation. We are in deep crap. I said it when Bush was in and I say it now.
If something isn’t done to reduce federal spending and cut the debt, it is just a matter of when will this house of cards come tumbling down.
It should be a bi-partisan issue. It is a national security issue.
LikeLike
Cutting the debt means running a surplus in the federal budget. Good luck on that happening.
LikeLike
I’m afraid you’ve confused the national debt with the annual deficit. The latter has been steadily declining for several years now.
LikeLike
But it’s still there, making the national debt grow larger every year.
LikeLike
In and of itself, so what?
LikeLike
I get it that decelerating deficits are better than accelerating deficits, but they are still deficits that add to the debt. History would show that there will be shocks to the system and these always seem to increase debt as opposed to decreasing debt. Granted I do not work for the Financial Times, but the higher the debt the larger amount of taxes are lost in interest payments. It does not make one a political outlier to be concerned about the amount of debt we have accumulated.
LikeLike
Maybe the same way we didn’t pay for two wars, two tax cuts for the rich, an unpaid for Medicare prescription program and a bank bailout during the Bush years?

And i would say to you that the vast majority of poor people in this country go to work everyday. Many work two jobs. The problem are these narratives:
the poor are lazy
the poor deserve their fate
the poor lack a “richness of spirit” to quote Fox News’ Stuart Varney
the poor are moochers, leeches, etc…
Nobody is for a free ride. Those who claim that programs that assist people in need are wasteful and unnecessary have a “fuck the poor” attitude that is decidedly anti-Christian.
The people who promote these narratives are of the Grover Norquist variety who said 30 years ago that the goal was to make government small enough to drag it in the bathroom and drown it. I would ask you. How would our parents and grandparents fair in such a world? How would our children? The American ideal is that anybody can make it. If only those who start off rich can make it, we cease to be what we claim to be.
Personally, I’m sick and tired of rich people sending poor folk’s kids off to die in their wars while claiming that its unfair for them to be asked to pay more. What the fuck would they have if poor kids weren’t grabbing a rifle and manning a post? They’d be overrun by a mob of fucking terrorists is where they’d be. So I say, pick up the check asshole! You (and that includes me btw) have the most to gain and the most to lose so quit your bitching and pay it forward so that some poor kid (like I was) can make it (like I did) too.

As for climate change (aka: the greatest threat to our national security),
he could build a wall along the border. No, wait, wrong threat, and a very minor one, at that. Maybe an indoor practice facility covering the North American Continent? No, wait, he couldn’t get that approved without SecDef Jeremy Pruitt.
