I wish somebody had told those rich people in Miami to shut up a long time ago. They've been whining about Cuba since forever or since the late 1950's (which seems like forever). But with this post, you've gotten that job accomplished...AND MORE, much more: all the $250,000+/year earners can now shut up too! Yeah! Xandtrek for dreg's queen. You rule, Xandtrek!

Now we've got a Marxist in the White House and true patriots are reduced to answering polls on SeanHannity.com, including one earlier this week, which asked what kind of revolution would you like to see: A military coup; armed rebellion or a war for secession? If the wealthy are going to be punished for their success at avarice, where has justice gone? We are surely on our way to becoming Sweden, if not the Soviet Union! So talk of violent overthrow of the government is perfectly in order: As someone said, it's not treason if you win. Personally, I'm all for secession. Opposing it was Lincoln's big mistake. Just think of the progress we've have made without the South for the last 150 years. And states that are still red after eight years of Bush can hoist the Confederate flag and give the rich a break on taxes if they want to. We might have a refugee problem (including a few friends from El Paso) but we've got good soil here and a couple of .22s. Yeah, I guess we better get to the gun shows while we can. --Sicko So Joe the Plumber had Obama pegged all along, but would we listen?

I can learn from him how to talk out of my sides of my mouth and my ass at the same time. Such a talent. Yeah, I'm cranky and I'm poor and I'm the dregs of the earth. And I know where you live.

Yeah, I’m cranky and I’m poor and I’m the dregs of the earth.

And I know where you live.

Maybe because house minority leader John A. Boehner says Obama's tax increases will cut deeply into the middle class. Maybe it's because Obama says his tax increases will only affect those making about $250,000/yr. or more. Maybe it's because you put these two together and realize maybe house minority leader John A. Boehner thinks the cut off for 'middle classedness' ends at the $250,000/yr. income level and everyone below that, i.e., the vast, vast majority of Americans are the dregs of society who are pulling the nation down into total collapse. Maybe you make less than $250,000/yr.? Ergo, that makes you (and me) and lots and lots of other citizens realize what a drag on society we all are for the'haves and have-mores'? And maybe that's why you are so cranky -- because you are awake? Ooh, pretty cranky when we wrote this, weren’t we?
