   You’ve got your nerve. You’re supposed to ignore the left’s hypocrisy and nod your head in a soothing rhythm. Or, better yet, repeat what Diane says in zombie-chant fashion.

   And of course they are calling for the one percent of richest Americans to find more ways to help the 99 percent and we wondered what’s the gulf between them tonight?

   The gulf between them is that the 99% don’t use Dial soap! (don’t you wish everybody did?) They don’t call them the ‘Great Unwashed’ for nothing!

    I hope these morons don’t shut down any of the places my husband and I are going to be visiting out East this next week! I don’t plan to bring my skillet, but I can purchase one out there! You don’t need a permit for a skillet and I know how to use it!

    I know I am going to sound like a bigot, but I have to tell you my experience yesterday. My husband told me that one of the WalMarts nearby had been remodeled and was really nice. I hadn’t been to this WalMart for a long time, but there was one item that only was avaliable there. I hesitated to go to that particular store because it is in a predominantly minority area with mostly mooslums and hispanics, and last time I was there, it was a pig pen…garbage and wrappers everywhere and my shoes literally stuck to the floor. But, since it had been remodeled and expanded, I thought I would try it.

    I pulled into the parking lot. Ewwww! Junky. I walked into the United Nations of WalMarts and proceeded to the back of the store. I witnessed someone taking candy off the shelf, opening the wrapper, putting the empty wrapper back on the shelf and eating the candy. I saw kids in shopping carts grabbing stuff and slobbering all over it without adult supervision.

    I know I am making a judgement here, but what can I conclude? The WalMart in Apple Valley, in a white middle class area is practically pristine.

    Is this just a cultural thing? Do they instinctively expect others to clean up after them? And do those morons who are occupying Wall Street have something in common with these folks? You be the judge.

    Someone can check my math, but using the numbers above, let’s redistribute all the income of the top 1% to the bottom 90%. Instead of $31,000, everyone would make $44,000. Really, that’s what they want? That’s really going to help everyone? I can’t even imagine what that would look like (besides a lot closer to Cuba or N. Korea, etc.).

    “Well, on average their incomes, $1.1 million. Compare that to the bottom 90 percent, 100 million households. They earn an average of $31,000.” [Diane Sawyer]

    “In the interest of fairness, I’d like to point out that I make $12 million a year – even though ABC is closing all of it’s offices except DC and laying off people. I guess that lowers the average to $29,850. Haha- but I jest. The important thing is that my husband, movie director Mike Nichols is only ranked 98 on the Forbes Celebrity 100, while I’m 78! Haha Mike! I’m just glad I live 100 floors above those people though…” [Diane Sawyer. In my mind.]

    Get a clue Bruce Wal Mart doesn’t need to supply your broken ass a scooter. Waaaa I can’t go shopping because this EVIL company doesn’t GIVE me a scooter to use. Spoken like a true liberal.

    Take your complaining self to target or what ever other place you like to shop at, which by the way I have never saw a scooter there for your use either.

    Sawyers was pulled over for speeding, by a blonde female police officer.
    The officer asks Sawyer for her Driver’s license.
    Sawyer produces a compact mirror, and hands it to the officer.
    The officer looks at the mirror, and says;

    “I wanted YOUR license, NOT mine!”

    swede,

    When compared to… The Mook Pit, my respect for the 70′s era hippies grows by the day. Most were very meek and wanted only to be left alone.

    Many were simply trying to assert an influence in their own lives, not others. Were there radicals? To be sure, but those advocating violent overthrow were by and large shunned.

    There are about 195 countries on this planet. So Diane was only off by a little more than 400% (and they claim Sarah Palin is dumb.)

    But when Democrats make mistakes it’s always because they were deceived by Republicans. Just to take one example, Hillary claims she voted for the Iraq war because Bush deceived her on WMD’s. However, she and her husband both gave speeches about Saddam’s WMD’s back in 1998. So for Bush to deceive the Clintons, they must have been taking advice from the GOP Governor of Texas back in 1998. It’s possible!

    How can we blame Bush for Diane’s mistake? Well, Bush Sr. was always talking about “1000 points of light” in his speeches. That must be it. Diane was blinded by the 1000 points of light when she made the “thousand countries” remark. I got your back Diane.

    WOW, I really do live in GOD`s Country. It`s a bit depressed financially, but the weather`s nice, the scenery is magnificent, the people are friendly, even though the San Fran of the East Coast is just 13 miles east. My post office personnel is friendly, helpful and efficient-ish, the same for the DMV office. We have only one Super-Wally in the county, but it is always clean, fairly well stocked, does have motorized riding-carts, and helpful staff. The only complaint, besides being 15 miles west, is that of the 30 checkout lanes, there are usually only half a dozen open.

    I would say however and feel most would agree those that stayed Stuck In The Seventies were the True Believers, hard cases whatever. Only to spew their skewed view of the world/reality on younger generations under the guise of ‘education’.
