No more from my rightwing boss. Last tuesday he asked me, as a "diehard Obama supporter" if I was dissapointed with him yet. I said somewhat but probably not for the reasons you think I should be and started to explain why I think for example the current HC bill was looking like poo poo but he cut me off. Wednesday morning I got fired. Merry Christmas!

He is a hardcore birther who is stocking up on shotgun ammo for the upcoming race/class war led by the "socialist commie friend of the family" who is illegally in the whitehouse. Plus his 81 year old bladder has been failing him, had some growth removed and its been 6 months of bleeding and incontinance so he's been extra cranky. Also keep in mind I am his only employee so the business is gone along with the 75-100k a year he was getting for doing nothing but sitting at home staring at the millions in his various accounts and buying gold coins while Rush blared in the background. Talking to the one son he has not yet written off (but still cut out of his will) since said son will now have to keep in touch in case he does die off, he told me about when he was 14 and special ordered a custom 10-speed with the almost 1000 he saved for years only to find his father had drained his bank account of money to help start his new business. The other son he refuses to speak to for the crimes of driving his jaguar without permission (He was not insured!) and wearing his alligator skin belt without permission. I hope there was more but he stopped talking about it because the subject was making him angry. So yeah I'm pretty sure it was related.

You will note that pin on lapel, wedding rings, and buttons on his jacket all appear in line with the picture not being photoshopped. As you can probably guess it is photoshopped. Why do conservatives not get yet that if he was a stealth socialist kenyan muslim he would have been busted a year ago with all these "signs"?

Sorry I'm a retard, meant at-will not right to work state. When you can be fired for no cause it's that much harder trying to prove you were fired for the wrong cause. Plus to be honest I'm half relieved. There is a limit for listening to daily venom filled rants like that before it really does start to affect you.

They just can't believe that the 'classic' cars of their youth may have actually sucked in a lot of ways.

Andrew Kehoe, a school board member who was upset about a property tax levied to build the school, used explosives to kill himself and 45 people, most of them children in the second through sixth grades. The year was 1927. Kids these days just don't got any appreciation for how to massacre schoolkids like they used to.

This is starting to pop up in places, might as well try and nip it in the bud if any of you folks know about it. I can't find anything about it on google except for a few thousand SAVE R TROOPS posts, and common sense tells me that if this many assholes support these guys they're probably guilty as hell of something really terrible. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=202645581802&ref=nf quote:I stand for Freedom and Democracy! Asking our soldiers to lay down their lives to defend our freedoms, capture and bring terrorist to justice. Yet now there are calls to prosecute them after doing so, which not only underlies their better judgment, but jeopardizes the National Security of our Country, its interests and abilities to conduct successful missions abroad. Prosecuting our soldiers in cases like this is UNPATRIOTIC! Make your voice be heard, invite others, join this group to show your support for those in the armed services! Thanks and God Bless.

I think it's the false statements that are the reason those guys are getting in so much trouble, not the actual roughing up of a detainee. They lied to get out of a little bit of trouble and now find themselves in a lot more. I can't find the original news story though so I'm going off of memory. Isn't that from right before thanksgiving? Edit: From Foxnews http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,576646,00.html Those guys are in trouble because they tried to lie about it. Also, looks like they rejected an offer of nonjudicial punishment which caps the potential penalties pretty drat low. HashtagGirlboss fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Dec 9, 2009 |

Juan Illegal - Can be forced to do any dangerous, demeaning, or otherwise lovely job that the construction industry wants. With zero recourse of his own for injuries or exposure to hazardous materials. Routinely underpaid and threatened with deportation if he complains.
