Overton’s Window

April 28, 2012 in Uncategorized by Timbuk3 | 3 comments

If you read my post introducing the concept of “Overton’s Window” on the old titty board this post needs no explanation, but if you didn’t, read here.

So, here’s what we should be pushing for; seizure, by the Federal government, of all privately held assets in excess of 1 million dollars, to be used for;

1) Hiring EVERY returning military veteran, regardless of party identity, to fix our failing infrastructure,
2) Redistribution of what’s left to anyone earning less than $50,000/yr (individually) and regardless of party identity to stimulate the economy,
3) If there’s anything left after that, funding any person, regardless of party identity, to run for public office. Fuck the corrupt SCOTUS.

There is no “left wing” left in the USA. Let’s start one.

      “Why reinvent the wheel.”

      Yeah, ya got me, there.

      The point that I intended but failed to make is that, when I hear some Fox “News” watchin’ idiot say something about “the left wing” in the US, they’re usually referring to some fairly centrist Democrat, so that’s all I need to hear from them to know that they’re a brain-washed, unreachable, demented lunatic loser ready to vote, once again, against their own best interests.

      Last summer one of my wife’s cousin asked “did you know that more than half of Americans don’t pay taxes?” That was it. I instantly knew I didn’t respect her opinion on anything (and she didn’t disappoint me the rest of the time we were there.)

      Do wing nuts realize how stupid they sound?

      So I’m thinking, especially when I’m talking to a wing nut, I’m just going to start advocating for really crazy shit. It’s an old, not too funny joke, but how about “If you REALLY want to ‘save marriage’, let’s let gays marry too, but make it impossible to get a divorce. Let the gays ‘share our joy’.”

    Not to belabor the point, but at one point Michelle Bachmann, Herman Caine, Rick Perry, and Little Ricky Santorum lead the polling for GOP POTUS.

    I mean, that’s fucking NUTS!
