Journal Journal: Why do the Red States require so many government subsidies? 28

Ah, beautiful. I've made this argument to several Republicans from Republican voting states, it's nice to see this other person making the same argument. Best constructive use of profanities I've read in a while.

Republicans constantly talk about responsibility, low taxes, less subsidies and less government overall.

But the truth is that most Republican states receive federal subsidies at the expense of the Democratic states.

The next dickwad who says, "It's your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That's right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It's too easy, asshole, they're blue states. It's not your money, assholes, it's fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

Journal Journal: The four kinds of Bush supporters 35

There are four kinds of people who support Bush:

  1. The Fool - People who are too gullible to realize that Bush has lied.
  2. The Coward - People who are too scared to vote for anyone else.
  3. The Codependent - People who enjoy being lied too and live in a fantasy world put forth by the President, where America is still noble, secure and respected around the world. At night, he beats you black and blue, but you keep quiet.
  4. The Pig - People who agree with the lie and who want to continue the lie for their own nefarious purposes.

What kind are you?

Journal Journal: The life of a political troll 1

I've had my other ./ account since 1998.

So I started this new account because I wanted to have a relatively anonymous way to express my political opions and to counter the Republican trolls on this board. I'm plenty political with my other account, but I was worried about how it would affect my current job search, being that my ./ account is one of the top items that comes up on Google.

I understand it's not true anonymity. Some day there will be a huge database linking IP addresses and aliases on various websites with every American citizen. I fully expect to be strung up by a roving gang of "Bush Youth" in about 20 years.

It's been a whole week. Yesterday I made it to "Excellent Karma", and now I get the automatic Karma Bonus.

Woot.
