Tea Party Protesters Mock and Deride a Parkinson's Sufferer.

[Farnhamia]

What complete and utter assholes. My great-grandfather (although he wouldn't be as old as the title sounds) served in the US Foreign Service for years, even preventing a hostage crisis in Cuba from turning into a disaster. He later passed away because of his Parkinson's Disease. If these assholes think that people with these diseases are simply welfare abusers who do nothing with their lives, they can just rot in their graves.

surely you didn't mean to say all teabaggers are idiots and assholes.

Buffy is too well-behaved and polite to ever say something like that, though I imagine it would sound even better in Spanish. But he would never deliver himself into the hands of the two Mods patrolling the thread.

I knew Japan would have a low unemployment rate. Their economy is somewhat less dependent and affected by the U.S. economy.

On a simple wikipedia check Japan is the 5th most laissez-faire of 30 Asian countries.

I don't trust wikipedia as much as CIA facts. Wikipedia facts can be changed by anyone.

But just out of curiosity, who are the top 4?

New Zealand ranks number 4, Australia number 3, Singapore number 2, and obviously Hong Kong is number 1.

I personally think that the US government needs to be overthrown before it enters an even more advanced Nazifacistic stage. A revolution would allow us to remould the system into a communist one and to purge the land of the reactionary scum such as those presented in the video.

Maybe not communism... I'd prefer Democratic Socialism

I can compromise. I will settle for democratic socialism, but never the current capitalist regime. It's pretty much the worst goverment in the world. I mean, look at their foreign policy. Especially at their policies of extrajudicial kidnappings and indefinite detainment of terrorism suspects.

Luckily those have little at all to do with capitalism. foreign policy=/=economic policy.

Fine then I will bring up economics. If you notice, America's unemployment rates are much higher than socialist countries like Cuba. Would it be better for everyone to have a job, free healthcare, and free education, or would it be better for a small minority to have luxury cars and mansions while the rest rot?

France is at 10% unemployment.
Ireland is at 14%
Russia is at 10%

How do you explain the "Socialist" countries that have lower unemployment rates?

Also...
France: 9.7% (ranked 112)
Ireland: 12% (ranked 134)
Russia: 8.9% (ranked 98)
United States: 9.4% (ranked 108)
Figures from here

Those are outdated.

According to your link the U.S.'s unemployment figures are only 4 tenths of a percentage point better than France's so how exactly is their economy (as you seem to be implying) in horrible condition due to their socialist policies?

Socialist infiltration of the United States from the White House on down, duh.

[New Genoa]

Well, we can't expect too much out of them, they aren't exactly known for their high levels of intelligence...

Of course this guy probably doesn't realize that about 39% of the wealth is made by the top 1%, 97% by the top 50%, and 3% by the bottom 50%. Fair indeed!

Would you like me to translate it into Spanish???

@American Capitalist is it not also possible to be laissez faire, and socialist at the same time? Canada is one example and they are #7...

Surprisingly the hyper capitalist Japanese also have a publicly funded health care system. About 83% is government expenditures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_compared#Japan). But the tea-baggers will be damned if America becomes a communist hellhole like Japan.

Mexico has a form of socialized healthcare as well, which is paid by our version of the Social Security Admin.

All at the same time, out northern neighbor is still in a fisticuffs fight over what to do.

Sort of I know little about Canada but it seems the main socialist ideal is Health Care but that's just what little I know of Canada. They ranked higher than America on every thing but Government Spending, Monetary Freedom, and Labor freedom.

Don't worry I said something worse in the beginning of the thread and like you I had a Grandfather with Parkinson's Disease so I had a similar reaction.

[Katganistan]

Really? calling someone a fucking red and a scourge isn't?
Clicky the linky to the One Stop Rules Shop, please.

I've read that thread and I was asking for clarification from a moderator.

Of course if that's too much to ask then please say and I'll find another one.

Why does "fucking red" make it a flame when a simple "red" isn't? I doubt he'd have a flame warning if he'd called him a "fucking hero".

Also, "scourge"?

If it's a collection of things then you could of simply said that instead of insulting me.

I haven't even remotely said anything insulting to you. I have linked you to the pertinent ruling because you asked for clarification, and framed it in precisely the same way you framed your question. If you find the way you originally framed the question insulting.... well, that's curious. I didn't find it so.

[Autumn Wind]

You notice he doesn't say that the government should make them do it right?

Irrelevant. He advocated spreading the wealth around. This makes him a socialist.. If you doubt my logic, Sarah Palin thinks Joe the Plummer agrees.

Ergo, John the Baptist is a douchebag according to the logic.

George Clooney is a Teabagger?

I read it as these particular people in this particular video, to be honest.

Of course this guy probably doesn't realize that about 39% of the wealth is made by the top 1%, 97% by the top 50%, and 3% by the bottom 50%. Fair indeed!

the problem is that 80% of americans believe to be in the top 20% (no i haven't make up numbers)

basically tea-baggers think "ehehehe i am the smart guy who push policy based on RATIONAL SELF-INTEREST" in reality the same policy they push are blateranly against their interests

mm... I don't think so. Some think they will be in the top 10% soon though! I know I will be.
