Paul Ryan is in the news for lying again, and Wonkette helped break the story, go us! The Washington Post cited yr Editrix's post about a comment on this TPM story that noted how Paul Ryan's tale of a young boy who preferred the brown-bagged love of his parents to the hard cheese of socialism was suspiciously similar to one
I was cursed with a mom who "loved" me. Yes, I got the Lone Ranger lunchbox with a thermos, but I got carrot sticks or cut-up apple instead of the Hostess creme-filled cupcake that the other kids whose parents loved them a little less got.
There isn't anything wrong with encouraging people to do their best and improve their lives. The problem is how people are encouraged to climb the socioeconomic ladder. There's also nothing wrong with helping people who would otherwise be at a disadvantage. You are right about how these objectivist people have colored the perception of libertarianism. I honestly don't know what 'real' libertarianism is at this point. How does it address the individual's role in society as a whole? The I've Got Mine,So Fuck You crowd seem to think they can act in a vacuum.
Who didn't recognize his adopted son Michael at his high school graduation and gave son Ron Junior a one-hundred dollar bill for his 21st birthday.
The constant 24-hour online/broadcast media world require a constant 24-hour performance by politicians to keep the base and contributors happy. No relaxing after CPAC or the Million Loon March, just constant harping and freaking out, always predicting doom, always Obama's fault, liberals will kill us all. And sooner or later some gun-fondling nut will take one for the country and start shooting politicians. And then the meme will be that it was caused by socialist muslim policies of Obama. And the wingnut thermostat will get turned up a little more and the media world will crank out more hysteria and conspiracies. And things will get worse.

Or you could fill it with dog shit, sprinkle it with lighter fluid, set it on his front porch, light it on fire, ring the bell, and run. That's what I recommend.
The shopping bag book covers were great for writing your initials and those of your crush with hearts and arrows. Also drawing unicorns and marijauna leaves.
Fuck Ryan and his kind. I am so sick of these winger nutbag stories where anybody who is poor and needs assistance is either lazy or some sort of grifter. Does it help sociopaths sleep better at night to vilify those that they so clearly disdain? Whatever the reason, it's certainly not very Christian, which is what they all claim to be.
Alfred?
Lactose intolerance is a tool of the imperialist oppressors.

meh. THE ECONOMIST has been heralding this asshat for the past 6 years.
truly incomprehensible.
No snark from me this time, no bad puns, and no weird meandering stories. Nope, none of that this time.
All I want to say here is: <b>Fuck Yeah Alex! Fuck Yeah!</b>

All the upfists. This says it exactly.
If Rand Paul married Ayn Rand they&#039;d be the Rand Corp.
Or else just a pair of delusional assholes.

I&#039;m pretty sure this is accurate.

The best days were when Mom made a chicken sandwich with lots of mustard and threw in a bag of potato chips. Made the afternoon endurable.
