The right wing protests consist of people who don't want to take RESPONSIBILITY for bad choices |
|
So I am watching the videos that came out today of the tax protests in California.
Lots of fools with signs that blame Obama despite the fact the economy was going to hell LONG before he came in.
One fool was giving a speech and claimed that he didn't have any money because of the UAW. He claimed to work in HEALTH CARE. Basically he sounded to me bitter that union workers managed to get pension plans and decent jobs and was pissed about it because he thought they should be living in poverty.
I would bet my life savings that 99% of these fools were the same ones that took out loans they could not afford, did a HELOC on their home to finance consumer goods, now can't pay the bills and they are looking for ANYONE to blame other than themselves.
That is what it all boils down to folks. These right wing morons in the (former) "upper middle class"... the "I've got mine screw everyone else" club..... are now pissed they are losing it all because republican policy has allowed the top 1% to control all the wealth.
They do not want to take ANY responsibility for enabling 8 years of bush. They do not want to take ANY responsibility for bad financial choices they made. No - it is the fault of Obama, the poor, and the unions.
I know this may sound a little twisted - but I can't wait for half these people to lose it all and suddenly realize the real reason they are in this situation.

3. Personal responsibilty is a club they use to beat other people. |
|
They never, ever expect to take any personal responsibility themselves. Republican philosophy, and the philosophy of the rich in general is to be able to get away with anything you want and never have to take responsibility for anything. Responsibility is only for the poor. x(

But they are the first to blame someone else.
