Let them eat cake: "it's also important for me to go on with my life" |
|
George could not have said "let them eat cake" any louder than than he did with this selfish, stupid, slack-jawed, elitist statement. As president, he does not just get to go on with his own life. He has RESPONSIBILITIES to his country, not just to his donors and ass-kissers. Let us all hope that there is not a bloody French-style revolution in the wake of all this government's screw ups over the past few years. Enough Americans are dying the way it is.

7. They are just some collateral damage to the Pukes. |
|
The war dead are just an afterthought. Hating is much easier than being compassionate.

14. That is how you clear your conscience |
|
You use euphemisms to make it not seem so bad. Rather than living, breathing human beings, who have grown up, been sick, loved, hated, cried, learned...they are just like a building that gets blown up or a truck that gets in the way of a bomb.

8. Oh, I know. I feel so sorry for him |
|
Lord knows the poor little chimp has been through so much. Reading books about goats after the slaughter of thousands Americans on American soil. Clearing brush and scooting around on mountain bikes with Lance Armstrong while troops die. Playing little league ball while a grieving mother asks only to speak with him. God, what a hard, hard life to live.

All he does, day in, day out, is "get on" with his life.
It's hard work, getting on with life.

9. He has done more to hurt America than any other president. Shame |
|
Shame on him and his greedy, hypocritical ways. If he and his cabal had any sense of compassion, they could not sleep at night.

11. Time and time again... |

I wonder how so many of "our fellow citizens" (Bush-lovers) can fail to see the direct line to this sociopathic idiot's true character that is so starkly displayed by his public ramblings.

12. just an aside on the phrase let them eat cake |
|
i feel bad for Marie Antoinette - she never said that; she did say something along the lines of how she was so proud that the people had faith in the king being able to help them. She was a flake, not a bitch. She simply didn't understand what was going on, and had no concept of economics, but from everything I read, she cared for the 'common people' as much if not more than the average monarch of the day. Not that that's saying much, but judging by historical standards rather than modern ones, she was not the bitch people make her out to be.
/French major rant off/
