Political Correctness Made Americans Too Lazy To Work Tough Jobs

Brad Stine Tells Fox and Friends: Political Correctness Made Americans Too Lazy To Work Tough Jobs-- Mediaite

Zany conservative comic Brad Stine appeared on Monday’s Fox and Friends to rag on “lazy Americans” who should feel “ashamed” they’re unemployed. Anchor Gretchen Carlson asked Stine if Americans were willing to do tough jobs. “Are Americans too lazy to do that? The answer is yes!” Stine exclaimed. “…We used to make it shameful not to work. We called people that didn’t work hobos! What happened to the hobos? We need to bring these people back and make them feel ashamed but political correctness came in and said we don’t want them to feel bad about not working. Yes, we do! Get to work! The ideology that told people that we don’t have to work hard, we’ll subsidize people and make high class hobos by taking money who work and give it to people that don’t work. Effectively, they bought them off.”

6. I got you beat
I stopped reading at "zany". Seems like Americans are also averse to using original adjectives.

7. I've never seen a genuinely funny reichwinger
Once upon a time P.J. O'Rourke was funny but he degenerated into a sour libertarian asshole. Can't think of anyone else.

Humor is anathema to the conservative mindset. Meanness is their substitute.

9. Conservative humor is very bigoted and mean spirited.
Sometimes it just doesn't work the other way around.

5. This from a clown who wouldn't know real work
if it jumped up and castrated him with a dull spoon. I don't know why people who do real work watch this shit.

8. We used to have a country where being a hobo was a pretty sweet life...
Work when you need money, enjoy your freedom as an American when you don't.

10. Straw man
There's no one who has ever said a hobo shouldn't feel bad about not working.

He's equating people who can't find jobs due to lack of job openings to hobos.

17. Keep your friends close-Your enemies closer
And I thought it was interesting coming from a long-hair hippie looking guy. Long-hair cons have always made me puzzled or suspicious.
