Dear Lord:

The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.

We are a Country in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.

My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most especially, reduced freedom.

The takers outvoted the producers. In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter 1, verses 4-9 it says, “To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness, knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness, love.”

Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.

Amen.

Time to tell any Democrats you know to gently caress off and die

by Eric Dondero
today starts a new course for my life. I've soured on electoral politics given what happened last night. I believe now the best course of action is outright revolt. What do I mean by that?

Well, to each his own. Some may choose to push secession in their state legislatures. Others may choose to leave the U.S. for good (Costa Rica, Switzerland, Italy, Argentina, Hong Kong, Israel). Still others may want to personally separate themselves from the United States here in North America while still living under communist rule' the Glenn Beck, grab your guns, food storage, build bunkers, survivalist route. I heartily endorse all these efforts.
...
When I'm at the Wal-mart or grocery story I typically pay with my debit card. On the pad it comes up, "EBT, Debit, Credit, Cash." I make it a point to say loudly to the check-out clerk, "EBT, what is that for?" She inevitably says, "it's government assistance." I respond, "Oh, you mean welfare? Great. I work for a living. I'm paying for my food with my own hard-earned dollars. And other people get their food for free." And I look around with disgust, making sure others in line have heard me.

I am going to step this up. I am going to do far more of this in my life. It's going to be my personal crusade. I hope other libertarians and conservatives will eventually join me.
...
Buttons. Boy, you can have a lot of fun with this. I plan to make up a bunch of buttons, and wear them around town, sayings like "Democrats are Communist Pigs," or "Welfare moochers steal from hard-working Americans," "Only Nazis support Seat Belt laws" or "No Smoking Ban: Nanny-Staters go gently caress Yourselves."

I'm trying to parse this run-on sentence. Sorry if English is not your first language. Are you inferring that republican voters have less educational opportunities than democratic-leaning ones, or that the core of the republican party is poor and involuntarily uneducated? If that isn't what you are trying to say, then you are justifying a poll test/tax to save the poor from themselves.
-EDIT- As a member of the working class, I will not concede that we need external aid to secure education and prosperity. Not stealing the fruits of our labor will suffice. I also don't appreciate the implication that free-will and self-determination only apply to the upper classes.

I have a request for an image about Reagan, which is an infographic or comic I believe, which lists objectively why he was a bad president, so not welfare cuts, etc., which are only subjectively terrible, but like exacerbating the AIDS pandemic and a truly terrible foreign policy. Anyone know what I mean?

Makes me sad this gets so little coverage overseas. Chile is experiencing the biggest unrest since the end of the Pinochet era.

What really amazes me is the bulk of the student movement is so young - in their mid-teens. The university part of the movement only got involved after high schools started being occupied, this is a real youth movement. There are thousands of high school kids who have lost an entire year of school - they wont graduate until 19 - to try and change the terrible education system here.

I work as a private afterschool tutor and come into contact with a lot of kids involved or affected by the protests/occupations. I have a lot of respect for them, they're brave, and far more politically aware than I was at that age.

This is the poster recently put up by the Austrian right-wing FPÖ party all over the country. In the upper right corner, it says "FPÖ: the social home party", although the German Heimat carries much more meaning than just "home". In the yellow box, it reads "Therefore: FPÖ", and the big red writing means "decision for Austria".

The person on the left is Werner Faymann, the current social democratic chancellor of Austria. The dude on the right is HC Strache (yes, he really shortens his first name to the initials), head of the FPÖ and notorious dipshit and slimeball; you might remember his predecessor, the infamous Jörg Haider. In most versions of the poster, it is accompanied by a bullet point list of various Faymann/Strache "accomplishments" or political positions being compared to each other, like: "Faymann: wants more immigration - Strache: supports own (ie: Aryan Austrian) families"

So why post it here? Because to me at least, this poster is hilarious because it is simply so exaggerated. Just take a look: Faymann is in almost-greyscale, arms hold closely to the body as to signify a defensive stance. He glances sidewards as if he didn't know what to do, almost looking lost. He wears a business suit complete with tie, symbolising being upper-class and out of touch. Strache on the other hand wears a white shirt open at the collar, his eyes looking determined into the distance/future. I can't see it properly behind the big red text, but it almost looks like he's rolling up his sleeves. And of course Faymann stands on the left and Strache on the right.

And the background: Faymann's half is crumpled, grey paper, whereas Strache stands in front of a blue, sunlit sky. The buildings behind Faymann are the Atomium in Brussels, standing for the EU, and the Eiffel tower - Faymann is selling Austria out to the EU bureaucrats and to foreign powers like France. Behind Strache we see the St. Stephen's cathedral of Vienna as a sign of god-fearing Catholicism and the "good old times" as well as the bell tower of Graz, both important Austrian buildings.

You can't see it on this picture, but even the bullet points (as in the +'s and -'s preceding the words) have a meaning: Faymann's -'s are of a somewhat muted red and dirty, whereas Strache's plusses are bright red and spotless.

What I want to say is: someone really went to town with his political propaganda and symbolic meaning for this poster. The FPÖ is a horrible party full with Neo-Nazi turds, but in a way I wish more political posters were like that so that I could analyse and have a laugh at them while waiting at the bus stop
