Huh? He speaks the truth and you are offended? or worried that someone might be offended?

The new conservative mantra ought to be “oh you poor thing”?

“No, it’s the truth. And it’s about damn time somebody said it.”

The majority of the “people” in the Wall Street Mob are college kids.

I would guess over the weekend you will get the Jr. High and High School crowd that just are looking to “hang out” at some place other than the mall.

Where at the parents?

Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs is doing a commercial here in Alabama. It was on yesterday and he basically said: LEARN A SKILL, PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE WORKFORCE, EDUCATE YOURSELF IN THE TRADES. If you are not college material and there are lots that are not, then learn a marketable skill, one that can get you a job. Flipping burgers will only get you a flipping burgers for a living type job.

I say it's better to be a heartless conservative than a brainless liberal.

I think more and more people are starting to recognize this crowd for what it is -

just a bunch of spoiled brats wanting “stuff” given to them at someone else’s expense.

Here’s to hoping that this awareness spreads to all folks who will find it abhorrent.
