Chutzpah Personified
May 12, 2015 at 11:38 am
My less-than-charitable reaction to this story is FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE.
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/conserva...and-blind/
Quote:Conservative spurns Obamacare and insurance — but blames Obama now that he’s going broke and blind
Quote:Obamacare was designed to cover those whose income falls below the poverty line through Medicaid, but South Carolina is among 21 Republican-led states that declined the federal government’s offer to pay 100 percent of the costs to expand coverage to low-income, able-bodied adults.
Shit happens!

Kind of attractive man there.
I could suggest some easy indoor work for him that might help the finances. I can't imagine he would mind, he's already damn good at fucking himself.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It is kind of reassuring when bad things happen to bad people. It is a bit of poetic justice. Now, if only that were always the case, along with good things happening to good people...
Still, I don't really wish for bad things happening to this guy. But I also don't really wish for him to be a stupid asshole either, so we can see that my wishes don't affect the world very much.

Perhaps if you phrased your wishes in the form of a prayer...?

He's sitting in a $300,000 asset.
How much charity should he absorb over someone else living in a cardboard refrigerator box ?

Ironic, considering the conservative mantra of personal responsibility.

It has always been a lie. Conservatives love welfare for the rich, just not for the poor who need it. They just call the welfare for the rich by another name, and imagine that makes it good.

The man screws up and blames Obama. So much for that conservative personal responsibility we're always hearing about!

Good point. OK to make it twice, and the christer/consevatwerps still ain't gonna catch on.
