and while you're at it, stick those bootstraps straight up yer azz and then give a good pull!

Paul Ryan (thanks, Charlie Pierce) is the essence of the banality of evil (thanks, Hannah Arendt). And Ryan is as evil as evil can be.

When do they get an injection of morality?


[font color=gray]Corporations have no morality. Their only loyalty is to profit and the bottom line. That is why it is so deadly dangerous to cede our government, our lives, and the lives of our children to them. [/font color]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the moral fiber of the poor, most of whom are working like donkeys in dead end jobs that keep the world going, doing the best they can with the rotten hand they were dealt by the smug plutocrats Ryan worships.

At some point, we're going to have to bring back tar and feathers and that schmuck is going to have to be one of the first to try it out on. And if people are too soft hearted to use tar, I suggest barley malt. It's getting to be yellowjacket season.

Ryan's budget seems to be a rehash of his previous budget that passed the House, but was wildly unpopular with the American people ... His budget contains cuts to Medicare, medicaid and tax cuts for the wealthy that will be paid for by closing loop-holes that are important to the middle and working classes. All of these are also unpopular with the middle and working classes.

Okay ... I get that this is where the gop lives; but, he's running around saying that his intent is to draw a clear policy distinction between the gop and President Obama's administration and he wants to drive the gop candidates to signing on to this policy distinction in the fall.

How is campaigning on policies that are unpopular with the electorate a recipe for success?

Rand of course was a sociopath who labeled the poor and downtrodden "parasites" in her works and at least in one passage cheered the death of these so-called "parasites" who are our sisters and brothers.

what a perfect role model!

They're called "banks."

A moral person doesn't kick people when they're down. Maybe he needs to read that bible of his and see what Jesus says about how to treat the poor. The man is clueless. And a sociopath.

sociopath, hypocrite and monster.

If there is one thing worse than 'Fuck the poor' it is 'Fuck the poor for their own good'.

Our disgusting Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan-Smith is trying to take us down the same road.

to pay for his college made him relient on government $$? Must be why he ran for office - to stay on the dole? Was he demeaned and did it drain him of will and incentive? Why does he think the help he got is different? Doesn't he believe that when others get help, they do pull themselves upward? They see a few chronic assholes who want to be on food stamps and aid all their lives and equate it with everyone else, even when they themselves (Ryan) used aid sometime in their lives to achieve goals.

is ringing in my ears. This psychopathic plan is the manifestation of that attitude. Lovely. Pfft.
