Facebook Case Files VIII

The fun never ends.

Implausible Deniability

This dialogue in a nutshell:

Me: Corporate tax cuts don’t create jobs.
Him: You’re a hysterical ranting liberal.
Me: That wasn’t a rant. You just personally attacked me. And I’m not a liberal.
Him: No, I didn’t attack you. Your hysterical liberal rants cloud your abiblity to reason and you spelled ‘liberal’ wrong.
Me: That makes no sense. And I didn’t spell ‘liberal’ wrong. But you spelled ‘ability’ wrong.
Him: Your rant is just a projection of your own insecurities.

Seriously. This is that fun. Only, way more.

You will experience what it’s like to debate someone who not only denies that I said what I said, but also denies that he said what he said. And invents other things that nobody said. There seems to be a growing pattern of this occurrence as of late.

A truly drug-free hallucinogenic drug trip of a conversation.

Libertarians. Sheesh.

Also, this is the first of several where I’m called a Liberal. Right-wing people seem to think plain old facts have a liberal bias.

Enjoy…

Shifting the Blame

You ever notice when right-wingers get caught doing something, it’s never their fault? Or when they blame bad events on their ideological dislikes? Or when they complain about people doing stuff they don’t like, but it’s ok for them to do? Or cut subsidies to the poor while taking advantage of those same subsidies?

The Party of Personal Responsibility is never personally responsible. Hypocritical? Yes.

And seriously, there are some incredibly stupid motherfuckers out there.

Governing our lives.

Think about that and stop voting for them.

Enjoy…

Famiglia

Most of my family are proud members of the Grand Old Party. These are parts of some emails from them. It may be a cousin (or two), it may not – I’ll never tell.

Here are my responses. However, after I wrote them, I didn’t have the heart to send them. Just because I can be a dick, doesn't mean I have to be. 

Instead, I’m sharing them with you.

Keep in mind, they are not the entire emails. Just the political parts. And they’re about 1% of the email.

Like I said – Family.

Enjoy…

Gun Overdose

In this episode, we find out Philip Seymour Hoffman overdosing on heroin somehow proves that gun regulation doesn’t work.

Also, I’m getting really tired of people trying to convince me they didn’t say what they said.

For fuck’s sake.

Enjoy…

Obamacare Opt-Out

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka, “Obamacare” is not a health insurance plan. It’s a fucking law. The “Patient Protection” part does things like end lifetime caps, so the insurance company can’t cut off your care while you’re in the middle of a cancer treatment program. It got rid of pre-existing conditions, so an insurance company can’t refuse to cover you if you’re shopping for insurance but you have diabetes. The “Affordable Care” part created a marketplace for health insurance corporations to compete for your patronage, naturally lowering costs. New taxes on individuals making over $200,000 (families & corporations making over $250,000) will also help to cover the cost of insuring more people. Plus other taxes. http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare-taxes.php And 85% of Americans won’t see a tax increase at all. Also, the health insurance you purchased through the ACA has a tax that goes to help fund the ACA. My platinum plan that I purchased through the federal exchange (because Georgia Republicans hate people and refused to implement a state exchange), which includes that tax, is still only $300 per month – and that’s without any subsidies. Not remotely possible to afford as a self-employed individual before the ACA. I’m happy to help others afford health care. It may not be mentioned it in the Constitution, but neither were cars or cell phones. And a million other things. If you don’t view health care (& welfare) as a human right, then you’re just a selfish prick.

More ranting after the jump, then on to the fun part.

Fucking Liberals

Yeah. You heard me.

 

Fucking liberals forced me to fucking defend George W. Bush. I will never forgive them.

But facts are facts.

For my 200^th post, I thought I’d take a break from bashing Republicans. Most people think I’m a Liberal because I’m always pointing out that Republicans are either wrong, liars or straight-up scumbags. No. I just point out facts. Or, at least, I try to. I can’t help it if Republicans are wildly more wrong about facts (intentional or otherwise) than Liberals.

There was a satirical article about the things that hypocritical FOX-watchers think. It was good. I had one issue – there was a photo of President Bush kissing King Abdullah. You know the one. Photoshopped. I pointed out this fact in the comments section. Someone said I was wrong. Words happened. Lots of insanely stupid, circular logic, evidence-denying words. All in the name of being correct.

Oh, and I was blamed several times of doing what they were doing, which is called ‘projection.’ Left or Right, blind obedience makes you stupid.

Side note: I’ve decided not to call Republicans “Conservative” anymore because none of their policies are conservative, so I would be lying if I called them Conservative. When they call themselves “Conservative,” they are lying.

Enjoy…

The Gynotician

I fucking lost it on this guy.

If he was someone I knew, maybe I would have been more, shall we say, calm. But it was a friend of a friend, so fuck him.

I’ve fucking had it with this damn hypocritical, fact-denying, self-righteous, uneducated, misogynistic stupidity.

Enjoy…

Chris Christie Was Here

I’ll never understand parents that bestow their children with first names similar to their surnames.

I wonder why people feel the need to make up stories about all the Obama “scandals,” when he hasn’t done anything wrong, but feel the need to go out of their way to give NJ Governor Chris Christie “the benefit of the doubt” when he’s obviously guilty as fuck.

Ha Ha! No, I don’t. They’re called Republicans.

This discussion is pretty damn entertaining. And holy shit does it fly off on wild, non-Chris Christie tangents. I tried to keep it on track, but I also kept proving them wrong, so they had to keep changing the subject.

Enjoy…

Agreeing to Disagree

The Sochi Winter Olympics starts today.

Here’s a post from the London 2012 Summer Olympics. (Yes, I have a lot of conversations on backlog.) It's relatively short. I thought this would be an appropriate time to post it.

A friend makes a point. A friend of his says it’s not valid just because he doesn’t want it to be. I state facts to support my friend’s point. His friend says the facts shouldn’t matter because, well, they just shouldn’t.

Hot-cha!

Facebook Case Files VII

Hi. It's back. The Facebook dumb-talk smack-down extravaganza.

Righteously Refudiating Reality

Throwback Thursday seems to be a thing. I guess the world revolves around alliteration.

In the spirit of throwing back, here’s a friendly little discussion that took place in the crisp Autumn of the 2012 presidential debates. Just a wonderful example how the Conservative mind completely and enthusiastically eschews reality in favor of... of... who the fuck knows what.

Enjoy…

"Government is the Problem"

This was going to be an addition to one of my "Facebook Case Files" entries, but I started writing and didn't stop until it became a full post unto itself.

Enjoy...

Return of the Minimum Wage Hand-Out

Let’s start off the new year with a little push for upward mobility. Yeah, minimum wage increase was a topic already discussed a month ago, but right-wing cognitive dissonance is just so much fun to exploit for blog material. Republicans believe what they’re told to believe and no amount of fucking facts, historically preceded or otherwise, will ever, ever sway the opinions that were given to them by Frank Luntz.

The discussion in Minumum Wage Hand-Out happened a few months before I posted it on this blog and took place when a big protest for a minimum wage increase was scheduled. The day I posted it, another protest (that I was unaware of) also took place. I’m sure those protests were what prompted these regurgitated complaints against minimum wage workers. Because as we all know, tax subsidies for billion-dollar profit corporations and CEO’s paying themselves 400X the average worker aren’t the problem. It’s paying those workers a living wage.

Goddamn moochers.

Enjoy…

Go Tweet Yourself: Round 2

I don’t always immediately post a Tweet when I think of it. Sometimes, I’ll put them aside to post later. Slowly, the neglected Tweets have built up into a little mountain that I’ll never get around to posting. Some topics are a little out of date, some are timeless. Either way, I’m going to clear out my unposted Tweet collection here.

Some of these aren’t fully formed Tweets, but roughs, so they may be a bit over 140 characters. Others may be expanded ideas that aren’t big enough for a full blog post.

You may have to visit this post a few times. The links included with most of the Tweets will all add up and I wouldn’t want to interrupt anyone’s poop time.

I think the end of the year is a good time to clear out all of my brain farts.

Happy New Year…

Happy Whateverthefuck 2013 Edition

Welcome to my 3^rd Annual “Happy Whateverthefuck” post. FOX “News” and other right-wing mouthpieces like to, for some reason that I can’t wholly figure out, pretend that the religion celebrated by over 80% of Americans is under attack and desperately needs help. Because 12 aisles in Target devoted to Christmas between Halloween and New Year’s as well as the entire store decorated in Santas and reindeer is no match for the single endcap that’s shared by Kwanzaa and Chanukah.

What about the 30-or-so other winter festivals also celebrated this time of year? Most of them are older than Christmas. Can you name even one?

I guess if agitating your base gets your ratings up and increases your multi-million dollar $alary, any bullshit is fair game.

Ho Ho Ho…

Minimum Wage Hand-Out

Classic Conservative maneuver: Ask a question about which you do not care to know the truth - your real goal being only to create an opportunity to complain about something you oppose. Then ignore or dismiss the truth when it’s presented to you because it contradicts your uninformed preconceived notion.

Bachmann Blitzer Overkill

This lying about Obamacare is really getting tedious. Can we finally consider it ludicrous overkill when previous claims contradict current claims by the Obstructionist Republican Party? And what the fuck is with the media letting these lies go unchecked? There are about six true American journalists in the world, and they can’t cover everything. Step it up, talking heads. My little angertainment blog can’t make up for all your inept unreporting. And seriously, CNN, portraying everything as equal is disingenuous, inaccurate and dangerous. And frankly, fucking dumb. Sarah Palin claiming Obamacare has death panels is not fucking equal to Nancy Pelosi claiming it doesn’t. One of them is lying. Both Parties are NOT THE FUCKING SAME. Stop nodding your fucking head at everything politicians from both sides say. Call their bullshit, you useless fucktards. Displaying brightly-lit rooms with CGI effects and giant monitors don’t mean shit. Displaying the fucking truth does.

Oh, yeah. Ratings.

Engoddamnjoy…

Both Parties are the Same

Alright. Here’s the conversation I said was coming up in my 15 Differences post. Again, not only are both parties NOT the same, but NO information about EITHER party (or anything else, for that matter) is accurate when gathered from within the ‘bubble’ on ‘Bullshit Mountain.’ One source of information will never be correct. Especially if it’s FOX “News” since they lie. About everything. Yes, always.

It amazes me how EVERYTHING this guy believes is based on fantasy.  Of course, when his proof consists of simply stating, “HAHAHA! What a laugh! That’s not true, you Kool-Aid-drinking Leftie,” and then changing the subject, what else could you expect?

Enjoy…

Cruise Control

Sorry, I know I’m supposed to be posting the sequel to 15 Differences, but shit keeps coming up. Don’t worry, it’s worth the wait. Trust me.

In the meantime, Tom Cruise is in the news. Here are my – uh…

…views.

Sorry.

Enjoy…

Sad

Short post tonight.

15 Differences

We always hear people say ‘both Parties are the same.’ That’s usually spoken by people on the right who know their Party is completely fucked in the head, but just can’t bring themselves to admit it. The closest they can get to admitting it is to make that claim of equivalence.

Yes, it’s true that there is some overlap – some Democrats take giant oil contributions, some Republicans believe it’s everyone’s Constitutional right to vote – but it’s what the majority of Party members stand for that counts. It’s what drives the Party as a whole.

I was working on a list that that points out the differences in Party ideologies, but someone beat me to it. Nevertheless, I want to highlight these differences. So, I’m just going to share the list created by Jeff (no last name) and posted on AddictingInfo.org. Many items on Jeff’s list were similar to mine – of course, mine had more ‘fucks.’

I’ll have a little something to say afterward. Enjoy…

Pivot

Here’s the sequel to Talking Point Argument from last week.

This guy is precious. When you live in a world where you only read the headlines of right-wing articles (World Net Daily: KENYAN-BORN GAY MUSLIM SOCIALIST OBAMA REPEALS FREEDOM!) and watch Sean Hannity promos (“Next on Hannity: Obama unconstitutionally killed four American patriots in Benghazi!LibertyfreedomJesus!”), it’s very easy to slaughter your hilarious proclamations and feast on their entrails.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you won’t ignore real facts and blame me for ignoring “your” facts (that aren’t facts).

Enjoy…

Coup, Me?

Postponing my previously scheduled blog post to bring you this important news.

Fact: Republicans hate democracy.

You won’t, but try to enjoy…

Talking Point Argument

Obamacare is already the law. Has been for three years. There is nothing to negotiate.

That doesn’t stop Republicans (or Not-Republicans?) from repeating easily debunked Republican talking points. And this guy is precious. He’ll be in the next blog post, too. That one’s going to be even more fun.

For me.

Anyway, enjoy…

Feigned Negotiation Tactics

The Affordable Care Act, affectionately known as “Obamacare” was signed into law on March 23, 2010 – 3 years and 6 months ago. Pay attention to what I just said.

Freedom of Bigotry

Before this post begins, I would like to say a few words.

Some of you may have noticed that “Mary” is often the opposing voice in my posts. It may seem like I’m picking on her. I am not. It just so happens that most of the males I used to have these “discussions” with have de-friended me and blocked me on Facebook. You may remember “Richard” and “Gomer” from way back. They are little bitches. “Mary” has bigger balls than the both of them. I just happen to comment on whoever posts things I think are ridiculously full of shit, and “Mary” at the moment seems to be fulfilling that requirement the most often.

Thanks. Now, on to the show…

History Lesson

I understand the concept of being polite. I’ve even attempted it on occasion. But just because someone has an opinion on something, doesn’t mean you have to accept or respect it. And it certainly doesn’t mean that it has any validity to it. To be blatant: Hitler’s opinion on Jews. Should we have accepted it? Respected it? Was it valid?

Some facts are not open for debate. That’s when the spineless people who want to placate everyone really piss me off.

Enjoy...

Bolshevik Bill

A short one today. Kind of on the lighter side of stupid.

An alternate title could be “Sparring With Idiots.” (Then again, I could title the bulk of my posts with that phrase.)

Five little words started this thread. “"Fox News" is an oxymoron.” I’m no longer amazed when I encounter people blindly devoted to an ideology even when not one teensy, tiny bit if reality can support it.

And I’ve just explained why I’ve been labeled an ass.

Enjoy…

Super-Reagan vs. Chemical Weapons

Just a quick blogadoodle about Reagan and chemical weapons because you mentally fucking stunted right-wing whackado’s who masturbate to the fictional memory of Ronald Reagan are really starting to piss me the fuck off.

Oh, do enjoy...

Facebook Case Files 5: The Mary Edition

Another collection of my misadventures through the mystical land of Facebook. This one solely involves Mary. She says a lot of things that are, let’s say, not quite factual. Yes, we are friends.

At least on Facebook, anyway.

Although, I can’t believe she hasn’t unfriended me, yet.

Wonders never cease.

Syria: Asking For Permission

Oh, Republican congressmen, be careful what you pretend to wish for.

Evolutiony

Did you know that if science contradicts your agenda, you may just ignore it?

Unfortunately, this happens all the time on many topics spanning all social and political ideologies. Whether your interest is in vaccines or climate change or gun control or alternative medicine or, as in this case, the evolution of omnivorous humans, people seem to come up with a predetermined conclusion and work backward to prove their opinion.

A friend posted this picture and article. I pointed out that it is pseudoscience.

More words happened.

Enjoy…

Chicago Confidential

Ah, the old “Sensational, Misleading Right-Wing News Headline That No Right-Winger Ever Actually Reads Beyond” trick. They always fall for it.

But hey, whatever. Fuckin’ Obama. That Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Kenyan, Indonesian, Hawaiian, completely inept, genius mastermind, Chicago thug, slick politician is coming for your guns by only signing laws that relax restrictions on them. And none of all those FOX “News” talking points contradict each other. Especially the ones that contradict each other.

Enjoy…

Lollapalooza

These are a few topics buzzing around in my head that are too small to book their own venue. They’ve banded together to put on a big show.

BYOB

Genesis 2

This blog may make it seem as though my entire internet presence is that of confrontation. It is not. It’s just what this blog is about.

Here is a light-hearted pseudo-confrontational discussion I had with Peter where we really agree on the topic.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing.

Life Buy Back

You can have your gun bought back. Not your life.

Or am I missing something…

Armchair Judgment

Everybody loves judging what other people say about George Zimmerman. And they love to complain that other people are judging.

I was judged as judging when I wasn’t judging, I was just facting.

Nobody cared. They judged themselves to be correct.
