Republitards

I have just encountered a new type of retard. That is the political retard. Specifically, the Republitard.

The Republitard is just one of many types of people who don’t/can’t think for themselves and perpetuate ideas and philosophies about which they know nothing. The republitard constitutes the majority of the voting population of the Republican Party.

In the Ronald Reagan article I posted on Facebook, Ronald Reagan had a reputation for lowering taxes. In fact, He trimmed tax breaks and increased Social Security tax. In the end, he kept tax revenue at the same point it’s always been. What he essentially did was cut taxes for the rich and increase taxes for the rest of America. And he spent more! Without a major war!

Republitards are no different than “Christians” who don’t read the bible. They are no different than bandwagon sports fans. No different than militants who get their first taste of revolution. They are so gung-ho about everything and have no idea what they are talking about. None.

People like noise. It stops them from thinking. Unfortunately, what happens is people start thinking for them. It’s easy for charismatic people to be so passionate about tax breaks for the upper class. Their charisma has carried their incomes to that same upper class. They are directly affected by the causes they fight so passionately for. And they fight so passionately that the ignorant Republitards also believe they are directly affected.

So let me be clear. Republitards think they are rich. They think they are white. They think they are as charismatic as their leaders. For one, all Republican Hispanics are Republitards. They got the people elected in Arizona who are now trying to get rid of them. All Republicans who make less than 250,000 dollars a year are Republitards. They are running around crying about tax breaks when only people who make 250,001 dollars or more will be affected. Now THAT’s retarded.

How do you not know how much money you have? Only 5% (I’m being nearly doubly generous) of Americans make that much or more. As of September 1, 2010, 33.8% of American voters are registered Republicans. Assuming everyone in that 5% is Republican (Yeah Right! Like God blesses that many fools), 85% of Republicans are Republitards and/or flat out stupid. Since 35% of the voting population is Democrat we can assume safely that half of that 5% is Republican which means 93% (I rounded up. We are talking about retards. Some of them probably paid too much taxes trying to floss) of Republicans are Republitards. That’s almost all of them.

Essentially what I’m saying is, it’s retard to be Republican.

Come back next week when I show you how it’s retarded to be a Democrat.

Word of The Day - Retard

This word is one you already know. It's just one of my favorites

Retarded

Did you know it's OK to say retarded when referring to a person of limited mental abilities? It's also OK to call someone retarded (even to their face!). You can be extra P.C. and add mentally to the front if you like.

It's not OK to say Retard or Tard. As is - Hey Retard! Or - I looked like a tard in that picture. Bad form guys. Poor form.

But think. Being retarded is one of the few things a person will always admit to if he really is in fact retarded. Truly dumb people will never admit to being dumb. A real idiot will never call himself that. A retard will say he is retarded day in and day out.

Brilliant!


...or will he/she? Maybe there are retards trying to live like ordinary people...

Trying to Fail

Current mood: confident
Category: Life

Steve Harvey went off on a tangent this morning so had to find something else. I came upon the local "People's Station". A lady was getting advice from the special guest. (No idea who the special guest was, but she had a British accent so she must have been smart.) This lady was a stay at home mom with about six kids. The lady kept saying nothing was working. Everything she had been trying was failing. The guest gave her options and the lady kept saying I tried. I tried this. I tried that. Try. Try. Try.

All I could think was - she can tell her children she tried when they get knocked up, knocked out, and knocked around. Steve Harvey already called trying - failing with honor. Is that the best our children can hope for? To fail with honor?

I had already been thinking about how much lazier we are than our parents. And maybe this is why. The baby boomers, rich or poor, DO things. We don't do anywhere near as much as they did or do now. And half the shit we say we do we don't actually do. We only try to do those things. We try everything.

When it comes to trying, we got the Baby Boomers beat. We might have it backwards. Some of us try a lot of things and all we end up doing is recreational. We try school, we try occupations, we try marriage, we try to make a living. But we do dates. We do drinks. We do drugs.

Perhaps we should turn it around. Let's do a whole lot of living. Try dating. Try drugs. Try anything we don't plan on doing forever. Let's do the things we don't mind doing forever.

We are the "Just Do It" generation. So just quit trying to fail.


*Standing ovation* and the crowd goes WILD!!!! Ok I guess u got ur muse back, that was fantastic...love this blog!!! 5 kudos!!!
Since I've gotten older I've definitely been in "Do it and Get it Done" mode...Is it b'cuz I feel I have less time to do it and no more playing around I don't know....but great piece Jason.

23 kudos!!!!!!! Excellent Blog! I see u did get your muse back lol. Just because she had a British accent doent mean that she is necessarily smart. Very true statement bout the systematic teaching of our children to "FAIL WITH HONOR" as if u are already knocking yourself out of the game before u even play. lol

JR

Don't try, DO IT.

Letting Go

Current mood: sad
Category: Life

"Pearlicia", I'm going to do the best I can with this one. So many people have a problem with letting go of the past. I don't. The problem is. I can't really tell you why I don't have that problem.

I can forget people at will. I don't really know how I do it.
I do know that without that skill, I would be a very angry man. Or repressed. Or just all around sad. It's sad when you can't break up. It's really sad when you can't forgive. And it's a got-damned shame when you can't grow anymore because you keep going back to the shit you used to do.

Having a good memory is great for learning and growing. If you are learning math and you have to go back to chapter 1 to be able to understand chapter 4, more power to you. But if you go back to chapter 1 and get stuck there, then you are retarded. By definition. Life is the same. Once you get stuck, you are retarded. If you want to stay back there, go ahead and get yourself a helmet and a drool bucket and kick it in retard ville.

Know that mentally retarded individuals try to learn and grow and can't. Us who hold on to old shit all the time are not trying. We CAN grow. Yet we refuse. How sad is that?


The optimist is crazy!! lol Well another great blog. I think that it is human nature(its sad) to consistently think and live in the past especially when it comes to people who left a footprint weather a positive one or negative one. I'm so guilty of this behavior. To this day I still hold resement towards people from high school even though I have grown to be friends with a lot of those same people today. I don't know why! At times I can look at them with a smile and internally think about what that person did or said to me when we were in 10th grade at Bernard's. If u have an answer GURU, comment.

BTW please erase the first post! Spelling

Aaahhh yes the blog I requested..(ur gonna have to give me one to blog about)....when u talked about no growth b'cuz of the shit we use to do....damn that hit home. I wish I could tap into ur ability to "jus forget"
I really think when there's a connection that we form (sometimes in our heads) that we try to hold on to that and still, if not anything else, have somewhat of a friendship which still feels like ur being cheated b'cuz inside you want it to b "something" else.
As for ur friend and the shhhhty ppl frm his past...that's an easy one to let go. F@$ em. They didn't mean shhh then and they shouldn't mean shhh now. My issue is with ppl you have cared about....
So much to say but I'm gonna leave it that.
