TIm Cook, Enough Already
American Thinker ^ | 2/12/15 | Norman Rogers

Posted on 02/12/2015 8:03:51 AM PST by BlatherNaut

TIm Cook is the CEO of Apple. Apple is wildly successful, but we don’t know how much of the credit should go to Cook and how much to the legendary Steve Jobs, who died 3-1/2 years ago. Cook has become a sort of Silicon Valley philosopher, using his platform at Apple to pontificate on this and that.

Tim Cook is gay, a point that has been made repeatedly. Apparently he wants to make sure that everyone in the world knows this. My suggestion is that he simply add a caption to his official corporate photo. Then he wouldn’t have to keep promoting his admirable orientation. After all, as we all know, a person’s sexual orientation is irrelevant to his fitness to manage a giant corporation. Maybe Cook doesn’t understand this.

One wonders if the upper management at Apple is slightly obsessed with gay. Ron Johnson was a highly placed executive at Apple who took over the JC Penney department stores in 2011. Johnson hired the popular lesbian television personality, Ellen Degeneres, to be the chain’s spokesperson. As a Penny spokesperson said: “At J.C. Penney, we couldn't think of a better partner to help us put the fun back into the retail experience." Unfortunately this particular fun enraged many of the customers, who, no doubt, were behind the times and suffering from homophobia. To make a long story short, Ron Johnson nearly bankrupted JC Penny before he was fired.

Well, I like Apple products just fine. However, I think a man who doesn’t understand what he is, and how humanity works might not be the one that I would trust with a company that makes products that use multiple male and female ports. I doubt he has the right idea on how to plug in a USB cable.

I’ve known a number of gay males. When I ask them why they eat feces sometimes they never seem to have an understandable response.

That is OK, I mean this is America. And if a guy wants to eat another guys sh*t then who am I to say they cannot.

With homos, no matter how successful they are, their entire mindset is about their degenerate sexual proclivities. It is why they made such easy spy converts. Appeal to their sexual degenerate minds at the level they function and they were most cooperative with anything.

Well, the IPAD does not have USB ports, so......

One thing about Steve Jobs, he may have been a lefty, but he was a lefty who was very conservative with his business.

Not only that, but the Lightning connector works both ways.

I respect the man for his achievements, his own, and his ability to take other peoples ideas and products and then tweak them into his own. But let's be serious, what Job's was above and beyond all else was a Pirate.

Don't hate him for that. Speaking as a computer programmer for many years I can tell you, in the computer world we are all stealing ideas from each other. That is the history of computer technology. People steal from each other and add something to make it better. Steve Jobs was simply the best at it. That's why he was a genious. He wasn't a programmer or particularly tech saavy. He was able to take complex things and make them simple and apply to everyday people.

I don't hate Jobs, he was an excellent pirate who used his superior armament of corporate lawyers to vanquish anyone who he wanted. My only gripe are his worshippers(maybe a little strong) who can't accept that not all of Apples ideas were original. As you say Jobs was superior at taking ideas and incorporating or improving them.

Yep I agree with that statement 100%, but I do not think it’s just limited to that group.

Remember the Marines in the Moscow embassy during the cold war they busted for giving away secrets to Russian spies they were having sex with?

Although I would add the your victim card is also played with these groups in order to convert them to spies.

It’s easiest to full people when you appeal to their emotions. I heard that from a former Satanic Priest of over 10 years of service.

And THAT is what we are seeing at play.

***Correction***

The line,

“It’s easiest to full people..”

should have read,

“It’s easiest to fool people..”

Don’t you know? Being gay is cool. It’s the epitome of youth culture. It’s a pitch among companies obsessed with staying relevant with anyone under 40.

Job's

Did his name actually have an apostrophe in it?

I remember being young. I never did glom onto every fad going, and usually did my own thing, my own way. If gay had been 'cool' back then, I still would have been grossed out by it.

Only when he was being possessive. :{ )

...

I remember when Microsoft had to give Apple a loan, in order to keep them as a viable competitor.
