Ya know, I was
gonna let it go until she wrote this...
"Also are you
aware that the white male is now the minority in
America. Maybe your don't care about that but it has
now flip flopped. I believe in a society who works
hard and is rewarded by profit. Not to have a part of
that profit given to a government that turns around
and gives it to people on hand outs. I was in line at
a gas station on Crenshaw the day after the election
and two black women in line in front of me with
missing teeth high-fived each other and said "We did
it! Obama...woohoo. We can keep getting our
foodstamps".
And now? She gets an
entry. This vapid, racist, arrogant, pushy and
BELLIGERENT anti-intellectual will be "outed". I was
really done with politics for a bit until that goddamned
mess of sentences. So now I tell the
tale...
As many of you know,
Facebook for me has always been a marketing tool for
career stuff and in turn, I'm now stuck with thousands of
friends for no goddamned reason. Yes, I miss out on
a lot of my real friend's status/news updates but
I also get a remarkable cross-section of
personalities that I would otherwise not interact with.
On my news feed I see a status (which I can't
post here because I was blocked) from a woman named
Patricia Scheer who was interviewing for a job to be a
flight attendant for a private jet, but once Obama was
elected the CEO could no longer afford to hire her
because of Obamacare. I replied: "Hmmm, that's
interesting since it hasn't been enacted yet." That was
really all I was going to write. So done arguing
politics. I immediately get this message from
her:
And I really was
done. Too much stupid in that message to even start. She,
however, was not finished.
Priceless.
Considering this was 2 days after an election where these
"facts" clearly got bitch-slapped, I had to
respond...
And then the response
that my friends thought was a blonde joke when I reposted
it on my wall...
<shakes
head>
Believe it or not,
I actually didn't get snarky here. I calmly
explained that the "insurance mandate" that Obamacare is
based on is an idea the Republicans came up with...
Romney ended up instituting in Massachusetts it with
great success... but was then BLOCKED by her and my
message failed to go through. Oh well. I moved on. Even
though the "No republican would call it Obamacare" was
<facepalm> comedy gold, I resisted the urge to
write an entry as I was done writing about politics for
awhile on The Journey.
Then the next day,
I'm unblocked and WHAMMO:
Ugh. Now I want
to block HER. LOL. But again, I don't respond. Not
getting any attention clearly annoyed her...
Where do you start?
The fact that she's still using the 47% talking point
that even Romney tried to run from because it's so
ignorant? Do you bring up that the CBO says Obamacare
actually saves money, doesn't cost money? Do you bring up
the Planned Parenthood line's audacity considering
Romney said he would shut it down? If you even believe
it, do you bring up the overt racism in her "Crenshaw"
story? Do you explain that people qualify for food
stamps, the president doesn't issue them? Do you explain
that ALL males are in the minority, not just white? I
mean if you cut everyone up by race AND gender we're
all minorities. Do you realize that women named Patricia
are also in the minority? (sigh)
And the biggest
problem I have with all of this? The fervor of her
ignorance. It's not enough for people to just be ignorant
anymore. No, they are now armed with the ability to LINK!
Link to MOVIES! They still can't write a coherent fucking
sentence. Grammar? Sounds GERMAN, fuck that! Spelling?
American COLE? Seriously? COLE!??!?! Does this woman not
realize that the reason I won't respond to her is because
I don't respect her enough to participate in the
conversation. I mean, when the only point I bring up
is the fact (yes, fact) that the basis for Obamacare was
a Republican idea and her reply is "No it wasn't. No
republican would call it Obamacare, You really are
uneducated." - does she think my lack of a response means
she just "won" that point? Is that how it works when
you're a moron? When someone comes back at me with a
"fact", I look it up. Immediately. I could
absolutely be wrong, so I do a little research. If you
look up whether Obamacare was a Republican idea, you'll
get 3 million hits. Why? Because it's so widely reported
you can't even find an article REFUTING it. How do you
avoid figuring that fact out?
Then again, if you
CAN'T SPELL, maybe research is
difficult.
<rolls
eyes>
Anyway, I made
this entry for one reason: the race card. You let them go
long enough? This is usually what it comes down
to:
"Also are you
aware that the white male is now the minority in
America. Maybe your don't care about that but it has
now flip flopped. I believe in a society who works
hard and is rewarded by profit. Not to have a part of
that profit given to a government that turns around
and gives it to people on hand outs. I was in line at
a gas station on Crenshaw the day after the election
and two black women in line in front of me with
missing teeth high-fived each other and said "We did
it! Obama...woohoo. We can keep getting our
foodstamps".
It's impossible to be
as stupid (and I do mean stupid) as Patricia Scheer
is without also being racist or sexist or "religulous".
You have to have a core of something that makes
you ignore FACTS. We aren't born ignoring facts, someone
has to instill an agenda somewhere. Some fundamental
belief that your religion is better, or your RACE is
better, or SOMMMMMMMMMMMETHING... because when you come
to the table without that base agenda? You can't possibly
fall for this shit. Without that agenda? You just don't
care. There are still anti-intellectuals, this isn't true
of all people that aren't fact-geeks... but they don't
GET IN YOUR FACE ABOUT IT. They
play with their matchbox cars and are generally far
happier than the rest of us. Throw in a little fear?
Scare 'em a bit? And you suddenly have Patricia Scheer.
But fuck feeling sorry for her, because the
SARAH PALIN FERVOR of her idiocy is revolting.
The lack of self-awareness at her own skillset is
nauseating. At a certain age you should know "I suck at
'TEH gramMURH', so I'm gonna lay off the long-winded
diatribes about how fucking much I know until
I have time to OPEN A BOOK." And man, we
may have dodged a bullet with Palin in '08 but I'm
tellin' you, that shit is gonna happen in my lifetime.
Some dipshit, hillbilly, reality-star is going to get
into power because people like her TITS. And because the
other guy is "STRONGLY SOCIALISTIC!". For fuck's
sake.
Entry #1286 is a
warning. Vote in the mid-terms, America. I don't
care what party you vote for (I seriously mean that), but
demand INTELLIGENCE. Because if we continue to vote in
these absolute dip-tards, Honey-Boo-Boo will be
president.
And I don't mean
to again avoid the work of making a video rant but
I did this EXACT issue a year ago. "Age of
Unenlightenment".
I know there's an
angle for a talk show somewhere in these rants. But I'm
so anti-politics that I can't imagine that being a JOB.
The whole thing is nauseating to me.
Anyway,
I think I'll
link Patty-Boo-Boo to this entry.
