Evil Communist Youths Refuse To Let Financial Columnist Pay For Lemonade

A somewhat tongue-in-cheek headline from Wonkette on a story I’ve been following the past week. First off, the sarcasm.

Now the actual odious story where the author is positively giddy about yelling out of her chauffered car at three little girls.

She even has at least one supporter, one very quick to inject some racism into the argument. Idiot.

As for the rest of the internet, there’s a fairly uniform attack on the “compassionate” conservative financial nitwit.

I love this one, that calls the article a breathtakingly moronic diatribe, which really is the best explanation I’ve read.

And here’s another good one.

This one is great the comments.

I like this commentary which accurately points out that Savage’s column – and gleeful anger – is given out for free as well.

I’d take the lemonade.

Here’s my favorite comment from the above Wonkette article:

“These are suburban kids – they have no idea that anything costs money. They’ve had the welfare of their stable, 2 income households their whole lives. Plus, that lemonade (made with filtered water, organic lemons and raw turbinado sugar in a reusable no bad plastic cup) would probably cost $6 a glass if they ran the numbers.

Now, find the kids in a shitty apartment complex running a drink operation, and they’ll know the cost (35 cents for a packet of “grape drink” mix, diluted twice the suggested amount with water from a hose and a dollar or so to the kid who swiped his mom’s collection of plastic bar cups). Then add a dumbass adult surcharge on top to get up to a buck or two. 5 bucks if they add some codeine syrup. These are the real entrepeneurs of America, people. Kids who know exactly how fucked the world is and take it on its own terms.”

AFTERNOON UPDATE: Free lemonade being served this morning, mercury takes aim at 90 again » Local News » Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Bluefield, WV

OH NOES!

Somebody get Terry Savage on the case.

Since this are dangerously, blistering hot out on the East Coast, various folks in Bluefield, WV are planning to give out free lemonade to thirsty folks there.

The damned socialists have even coerced a Wal-Mart to join in the anti-capitalist welfare scam than only enables people to rely on others for life-giving thirst quenching.

According to conservatives like Savage, these people should be allowed to die of thirst lest they be tainted by someone giving them a handout.

Fourth of July 1776, 1964, 2010 – Frank Rich

Frank Rich comments on Independence Day and the unfinished business of our nation in regards to race.

I’ll take it a step further. We have a minority of angry racists who have taken over one of our major political parties. Why? Because a black man is president.

Don’t give me any nonsense about deficits or stimulus, etc. Reagan and Bush the Lesser singlehandedly covered more than half our national debt. The same angry teabagging bastards who lament the stimulus voted for both those nitwits.

No, it’s the color of the man’s skin that bothers them.

Listen to the talk. They “want their country back”. Which country? The White One.

Anyone opposed to them isn’t American. Is a socialist. Or a Nazi. Or a communist. Or not Christian enough.

Barack Obama is the most Christian president we’ve had since Jimmy Carter. Come to think of it, Republicans hate him too.

That say a LOT more about the conservatives than about the two presidents.

As for their other views, these are the same folks that want to deport 12 million people because businesses – their base – can’t stop hiring illegals. They want to build a wall a la 1950s East Germany as a solution to bad business practices.

In Aryzona, we are 24 days away from racial profiling by those wearing a badge.

That’s the Republican Party for you. Even worse than I ever truly imagined.
