Shut Up Iris

Normally I'm proud to be American, but every now and again I look around at what my fellow Americans are doing and I see some very stupid, shameful, ignorant things that no one with any portion of a working brain would do. Americans are the world's best at doing things without even understanding what they are doing, or why.

I give you Christmas in August:


That's right. In an effort to boost sales and get people spending Christmas has been rolled out in August. Now, I'm no economics expert, but pushing Christmas sales ahead to August , during a recession, I don't know, somewhere in my head that thing called my brain just shouts 'PEOPLE STILL DON'T HAVE JOBS OR MONEY YOU ASSHOLES!!' and I have to agree with my brain. I then give it scotch as a reward.

The next thing that is embarrassing me about Americans is Hitler:


Now, I'm no big time city lawyer but I agreed with Republicans that it was tasteless, crass and blown all out of proportion when anti-war and anti-torture protesters showed up to protests with things that equated Bush with Hitler. They aren't even close, there is no comparison. Of course Republicans having a shameful tactic like that pulled on them, wouldn't stoop to using such a pig ignorant and obviously retarded tactic that has no value in political discourse and is only a shock tactic to fool retards............


Universal health care is not socialism, Hitler didn't start up the Nazi regime with universal health care and giving Americans a universal public option is not Nazism by any convoluted stretch of the imagination. It isn't and anyone who says it is a lying asshole. The United States of America has the 35th best health care system in the world, which means we are #1 in health care among third world nations, according to Foreign Policy magazine the US is the 4th worst health care reform mess on the planet. The US spends ten times as any other developed country on Earth only to get the 35th best? The US is the only industrialized nation without universal health care of some sort? Fuck, the United States is the Mexico of industrialized nations when it comes to health care.

Of course if people don't like facts they can voice whatever their opinion is, this is after all a free country, so why not show up at a Town Hall meeting in your area and take part in a nice, reasoned, question and answer session with your local lawmakers:


Embarrassed? You should be. I'll explain it slowly here. Guns are weapons. Guns are designed to kill people. Showing up someplace with loaded weapons strapped to you implies a certain level of hostility. Showing up at a political rally or debate with a weapon only has one purpose, to intimidate those who do not think or feel as you do. Bringing a gun to political rally is the ultimate form of censorship. The 'agree with me or die' platform was very popular with, you guessed it:


If you want to call someone a Nazi, do it over something like carrying guns and showing up in full military regalia to a political debate. Armed thugs at political events is basically what Nazism is, it has nothing to do with health care. I've mentioned before that I like guns, I think people should be allowed to carry them, with certain common sense restrictions. Those restrictions should rely on the common sense of the people. Reasonable people should be able to look in the mirror and say things like: 'I'm going to pick up the kids at day care, I should leave the gun at home.' or 'I'm having dinner with my good friends, maybe there will be alcohol, I'll leave the gun at home.' and finally 'I'm going to a Town Hall meeting, people may not agree with me and I shouldn't try and intimidate them into silence, I'll leave the gun at home.' BUT the embarrassing fact is that retarded American assholes have lost the ability to make even the simplest of common sense judgment calls. That's what makes it so easy for people to take your rights away, you idiots.

So, there you have. The average American's lack of common sense makes this gung-ho gun owner rub my temples and see why people feel gun restrictions are necessary. The inability of brain dead Americans make this Patriot say 'Universal healthcare? Why not, the people ramming the Nazi signs down my throat don't have a plan so we may as well go with the people who have an actual plan.' and finally, stupid ass American stores make me throw up my hands and say 'Fuck baby Jesus, I'm not even going to celebrate Christmas anymore. I'm not buying shit for any body.'

The lesson here is that if you throw out common sense and try to shove things on to people using stupid advertising, calling them Nazis or waving your gun at them, they aren't going to listen to you.

You stupid assholes.
