The Poor Man’s John Galt
Nugent does the Ayn Rand routine at the WaTimes, emitting this howler:
Mitt Romney is very wealthy. Good for him. He could only have achieved his amazing fortune in America, the land of opportunity. The opportunity that made Mr. Romney rich is still out there for the taking.
If you still don’t understand why it’s hysterical, time to go elsewhere. Copy editors wept.
The rest insists the only people who vote Democratic are lazy non-white “bloodsuckers” who spend what little they have on lottery tickets.
It’s beyond offensive:
[The] backbone of the Democratic Party, the ones buying the most lottery tickets, are the ones who can least afford it. Duh. If these mouth-breathers promise not to vote, the GOP should buy them a lottery ticket.
“You might want to note that there is no demonization of the wealthy from Republicans, only Democrats,” he writes.
Yes, readers have noticed Ted. The GOP, those not in the 1 percent, and he ain’t, are the finest collection of bigots and shoe-shiners the rest of the country’s probably ever seen.
The “mouth-breathers” and “bloodsuckers” spend it all on lottery tickets and liquor. Stop attacking your betters, stupid lazy drunks!
