I never heard of this guy before tonight, but since he’s calling me out as an example of why he can’t be a Democrat anymore, I suppose I’ll respond. I wasn’t mocking Andrew Breitbart’s death when I said I agreed with Steve M. that the Republicans are about to bring out their “inner Breitbart.” I was referring to a certain style of political action, discourse, and argument that relies on made-up crap and feverish conspiracy theories. That might indicate that I have a low opinion of the work Andrew Breitbart did while he was alive but it’s not mocking his death. I assume that I am allowed to be critical of the dead after a respectful period of time. So, really, I think his problem is more with Steve M., who at least referred to the fact that Breitbart is dead, than it is with me.
But even Steve didn’t really mock his death. He just said that the GOP is going to be running with a bunch of stories and theories that Breitbart pushed, making Breitbart a kind of from-the-grave campaign manager. Okay, so the headline was perhaps a little blunt, but I still don’t see why it was particularly mocking.
In any case, I am a little confused about Patrick’s politics. He describes himself as a center-left populist. But then he calls the Democrats the party of minorities and deadbeats who want handouts. We also murder a lot of babies and hate God. So, I’m not sure what changed about any of those things between 2004 when Patrick supported the Democratic candidate and 2008 when he did not. I don’t want to be accused of racial resentment, though, so I won’t point out one obvious explanation.
I think he might have some idea in his head that President Obama (or, the Democrats) is going to destroy capitalism by using clauses. You decide:
This is why I left them; because the honor left that party long ago. Not only that, but the Democrats scheme to bring down our capitalist system though the passage of a clause of to a bill, which turned a rather benign piece of legislation into a ticking time bomb.
He doesn’t mention the clause and I don’t read Breitbart’s stupid websites, so I have no clue what he’s talking about. Maybe it’s some convoluted effort to describe the work program requirements in Welfare that Obama just relaxed at the request of many Republican governors. Maybe it’s a giant chicken selling cheeseburgers on the 405 in Los Angeles. Who knows with these people?
They’re nuts.
Sounds to me like he’s a Democrat like Strom Thurmond was a Democrat. Oh woops, was that too blunt on that racial resentment point? If the shoe fits…
Not blunt enough.
‘I voted democrat until 2008, then I came to my senses’.
Let’s see, what happened in 2008? Reading that I came to the conclusion he realized the democrats would actually nominate a black guy. ‘racial resentment’ is the key phrase.

I know! I know! He didn’t vote for Bush in 2004, but by 2008 the staggering success of Bush’s second term – nay, the accumulated body of genius that was Dubya’s full eight years – convinced this dude that anything other than a continuation of Bush’s policies – tweaked, perhaps, just slightly, by an even more bellicose and erratic foreign policy under President McCain, or, if he should suddenly keel over, a President who, rather than gazing deeply into Vladimir Putin’s eyes, gazed in alarm upon his floating disembodied head from her front porch – would be a grossly irresponsible abdication of his responsibility as a proud American.
Or, perhaps he’s just bullshitting his six readers. Or maybe he just doesn’t like black people. All of these are possible.
I am sure that he has many black friends. Maybe he’s just one of those anti-choice Hillary supporters who hate people who complain about not being white.
And the democrats have no answers! None at all! So it came to me, the answer is……….tax cuts for the rich! So from now I will vote republican!

“All of the above” is the correct answer. You know that when the most conservative Democratic President in living memory is described as a “Socialist”. That free stuff thing is blatantly racist as well. A definite dog whistle.
I kinda don’t think Obama is more conservative than Clinton or Carter but whatever.
He’s definitely not “the most Socialist President in history” as one winger site called him. In fact, I see that phrase all the time in the Tea Party crap that gets printed out and handed to me.
I won’t argue about Clinton/Carter vs Obama because that’s not the point. The point is he is no Bernie Sanders/Ted Kennedy/Howard Dean and doesn’t derserve to be called a Socialist either as a bad thing or a good thing. He just isn’t.
Let’s not forget that these same people called Clinton, Carter, and Gore socialists, too.
It just means Democrat to them.
It fits!
I believe that I’m overdue for my handout.
Me too!
Anybody know where my local death panel is? I’m overdue for an appointment.
I’m going to be charitable and guess that he used up his lifetime benefit for Thorazine by 2008.
calling all toasters, what a great screen name you have!
The statement about the Democratic Party trying to bring down capitalism has me practically rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably.
Right? Especially considering plenty of Democrats, like Brad Sherman(See here: http://politi.co/LY8IeC), are kissing the ass of the big banks and not of their constituents.

This could be how that devil ends capitalism, he gets his own army to create a totalitarian socialist state where muslims rule and feast on the flesh of white christians, as commanded by sharia law.
Or another ridiculous conpiracy, so much choice…
It’s the 405 in Los Angeles, not the 401. And the chicken is selling gardenburgers, which is what makes it so fucking un-American.
Sorry. Typo.
The pollo is loco.
he is as republican as all the rest of the crazies are did u read down the rt. side of the web page? just take a look,,,oh yes he is republican alright!!!!!!
.
On one of his blogs he mentions:
If you want a text explanation: Put into a slogan phrase, I would be considered a [Patrick] Buchanan’ite Conservative with some libertarian leanings . Meaning that I totally reject Wilsonian foreign policy!
He’s happy amongst friends, not worthwhile to spend a single word on rebuttal. He is no clown!
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."This profile strikes me as nothing so much as an old Dixiecrat who was about 40 years late getting the memo on Nixon’s Southern Strategy. Arkansas, for example, still has quite a few people like this. At the risk of being redundant, they’re not very bright.
Check out all the category tags he assigned to his post…
Oh lordy lordy… Is this guy for real or is it a parody site created by Jesus’ General? He even has an entertaining post Why Do I Blog? Hint: It’s NOT about the money! You’d probably never guess but he’s really into civil rights for black Republicans, um or something like that. Oh and 9/11! Also too, the military doesn’t want him so he fights from the keyboard.
And he links to his Amazon Wishlist which has a lovely photo of him. Think Michigan Militia.
Thanks for the entertainment Booman.
I saw one of this guy’s comments on Steve M’s blog. There is no way that he was a Democrat in this or any other life.
Could’ve easily been a Dixiecrat or Jessecrat. Don’t know how old the guy is.
See comment after Oui’s post above. As usual, TD, you beat me to it.
Why even notice this horse’s ass? His syntax is so convoluted that what he is trying to say is almost totally opaque. He’s just plain stupid.
He’s not alone on the right, of course. I have no doubt that if there were truly such a thing as an accurate IQ measurement, graphing it would show a clear and steady increase in average potential brain power as it moved from those on the right side of political spectrum to those on the left. This is the main reason why I choose to try to wake-people-the-fuck-up on so-called “progressive” sites rather than on centrist or right-wing sites. Intelligence is one thing of course, and understanding is another. Especially in this trancemedia-polluted system, the possession of native intelligence is no guarantee that people will actually be able to use that intelligence in a skillful maner. Once one allows oneself to be hypnotized all “intelligence” goes out the window and smart or dumb, there you are standing on a chair quacking like a duck until the hypnotist gives you other orders. The only difference is that smarter people will be better quackers than will dumb ones. Given a choice of teaching pigs to fly or birds, always choose the ones with wings.
That said, I repeat…why pay attention to lamebrained losers like this guy?
I mean…really!!!
Comma sickness, just for starters. And “We would be poo poo’ed from one end of spectrum to the other?”
C’mon.
“Poo poo’ed?”
Please.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
People are dying due to the efforts of our Permanent Government to maintain a militarily-enforced economic imperialist system on an increasingly restive world. The climate is changing right before our eyes, and it ain’t changing for the better. There has been an electoral dumbshow going on in the United States since the beginning of the primaries that is so lame that if it was a sporting event it would be relegated to the WWF side of the fix game. And you are outraged at this fool?
Hmmmm…
Maybe I oughta take another look at that “IQ” idea.
Hmmmmm…
AG
Wake up wake up,
This is not about stuff i made up,
Its about waking up everything progressive,
Thats why i may seem obsessive,
But wake up-the guverment,
Its permanent,
Wake up and get of your bong,
Thats why you progressives are doing it all wrong.
wait.. the gubmint is sleeping in my bong?
Sort of on topic:
At 4:18AM Chicago time, ABC-TV flashed a subliminal frame that said “ONE TERM” in giant letters. I caught it because it was storming at the time and the frame froze and partially pixelated.

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."Booman, Booman, Booman (sigh). You misquoted.

Jokers to the RIGHT.
Your title shoule be Jokers on my right.
Marvin would like a word with you.
He’s added a link to the “clause” that goes to wiki’s discussion of CRA. It’s one of my favorite markets of a wingnut.
Anyone who asserts the CRA was a major cause of the financial crisis is either a liar pushing an agenda to blame the WORLDWIDE housing and debt bubble and financial crisis on poor (mostly brown) people in U.S. inner cities, or an unfortunate fool who believes the lies.
Dear Editor,
As a lifelong member of the Democrat Party, I am deeply concerned that Barack HUSSEIN Obama will not be able to advance our socialist agenda and defeat Senator John McCain this fall. Instead, we should nominate the She-Beast, Hitlery.
Sincerly,
I.M. Librul
Some people have made the mistake of seeing Shunt’s work as a load of rubbish about railway timetables, but clever people like me, who talk loudly in restaurants, see this as a deliberate ambiguity, a plea for understanding in a mechanized world. The points are frozen, the beast is dead. What is the difference? What indeed is the point? The point is frozen, the beast is late out of Paddington. The point is taken. If La Fontaine’s elk would spurn Tom Jones the engine must be our head, the dining car our esophagus, the guard’s van our left lung, the cattle truck our shins, the first-class compartment the piece of skin at the nape of the neck and the level crossing an electric elk called Simon. The clarity is devastating. But where is the ambiguity? It’s over there in a box. Shunt is saying the 8:15 from Gillingham when in reality he means the 8:13 from Gillingham. The train is the same only the time is altered. Ecce homo, ergo elk. La Fontaine knew his sister and knew her bloody well. The point is taken, the beast is moulting, the fluff gets up your nose. The illusion is complete; it is reality, the reality is illusion and the ambiguity is the only truth. But is the truth, as Hitchcock observes, in the box? No there isn’t room, the ambiguity has put on weight. The point is taken, the elk is dead, the beast stops at Swindon, Chabrol stops at nothing, I’m having treatment and La Fontaine can get knotted.

“Florence: In Sarcasm For Its Own Sake Land, the only people you can’t accuse of taking themselves too seriously are people who are too serious about not being serious. To make that accusation, you’d have to take their not taking things seriously seriously, thereby proving that you’re not fit to judge the seriousness of their commitment to things not being taken seriously. Because, if you were, you wouldn’t, since they don’t. On the other hand, if you take their not seriousness not seriously, you prove that you’re not serious about being serious. In which case you must agree with them.
The only way to win this war is to not not take their not seriousness not seriously, while simultaneously not taking your own not not seriousness not seriously or not. Seriously.”
Yeh, that about sums it up.
Patrick also believes Obama is a Socialite. He was born in Kendra. He palled around with Bel Aires. His father was anti-colonial furniture. He was elected to the yell lawyer view. He attended the church of Rev. Wilber Orville Wright. He worked as a community oderizer. He was not, as he claims, born in Havarti. His death care plan is full of health panels. His job is killing regulations. He wants to tax bush cuts. He goes around the world Apollo-gazing for America and gazing in the military. He is a secret Museum who once wore a madras shirt and reads the Queen Ann.
