Fiscal conservatives are just greedy idiots: they are greedy idiots who want to create a permanent underclass to serve them.

Here are some douchebags on FAUXNews who want to cut or even abolish the minimum wage.

News flash douchebags: when people are too broke to eat or have a roof over their heads, they are going to buy any more Sarah Palin books, which essentially puts morons like you under the same bridge they live.

I’m really posting this story about a planned douchebag teabagger protest of “liberal-leaning companies” (kind of an oxymoron, no?) to bring you this comment on the story.

Thanks to the Bush administration there are fewer companies left for the patriotic nut slappers to protest.

And frankly, isn’t protesting capitalism actually a form of treason to these nitwits?

Turns out that just because we spend lots more on health care than any other nation, it really doesn’t help us live any longer.

Might that be because we’re too busy lining the pockets of already rich people to actually worry ourselves about healing anyone with those dollars?

News flash. The teabaggers are so big of hypocrites that they now endorse a plan to attack capitalism itself come January 20th.

Socialists!

More bad news that you probably already knew but didn’t have the facts to prove it. Apparently, fast food joints won’t buy food that routinely ends up in school lunches.

Yeah, that constant conservative screeching that causes us to underfund schools not only keeps out kids stupid and unaware of science or sex ed, but it also leading directly to them eating food less healthy than the McFatty or Six Dollar Whore Burger with Chili.

Think about that the next time a school funding bill comes up for a vote.

Jackasses.

Yeah, the GOP and their Corporate masters don’t want the government to protect consumers from items made by slave and child labor because they might lose some money on the deal. The article highlighting this evil belief in Mammon over humanity Rachel refers to can be found here.

So, not only do they hate women, Republican fascists (yeah, that’s the term for politicians who get on all fours for corporate interests) want you to buy slave-made goods so their puppet masters can save a few bucks.

You know, maybe I’m wrong about Dylan Ratigan. When they first gave him a show on MSNBC I just figured he’d be extra BS time for Scarborough-style stupidity. But I’ve been off the mark on that of late.

Here he is railing against exorbitant Wall Street bonuses with Michael Moore as the banks owe us billions and millions remain out of work.

And here he is the other day calling out the head of the Chambers of Commerce for “talking nonsense”.

He also had an informative HuffPo piece on the health insurance industry last week.

Speaking of earlier, Michael Moore had an equally thoughtful article on health care reform bills.

So, hopefully, another progressive-minded voice in the wilderness, at least on a few subjects.

We’ve been having problems with our cable stuttering since the transition. Nice to know we’re not the only ones.

Face it folks, most of this country is built on an infrastructure built during the Great Depression or, if lucky, in the 50s and 60s. Sure, there are new cheap-ass homes and strip malls everywhere, but the dams, transmission lines, telephone systems, etc. are pretty antiquated technology and most of it is old.

I know Republicans laugh whenever it is brought up that we need to work on infrastructure repair and replacement, but they’ve proven to be wrong on just about everything.

Fix and replace where needed and we can join the 21st century folks.

There is a huge amount of anger, and potential boycotting of Whole Foods. This is ever since their CEP wrote this editorial in the Wall Street Journal:

I’ve read it, and some of his points are valid. Others are utter bullshit. He – and his ghostwriter, the hateful Clintonite/FAUXNews troll Lanny Davis – swear it isn’t attack on the President. I beg to differ.

Here is a three-step example of how to attack the President on health care reform:

1. Write it in the Wall Street Journal. They don’t even pretend to be “fair and balanced”. They are pro-business and anti-everything-that-isn’t, all the time.

2. Have your article headlined using the word “ObamaCare”, which is GOP speak for “we will never vote for anything having the tacit blessing of a black President”.

3. Begin your article with an anti-socialism quote by Margaret Thatcher.

Still think I believe you were planning a well-meaning, middle-of-the-road sensible argument? You must think I’m a teabagging deather/birther/healther/incest-loving Republican.

In the article, he ties his company to his wingnut views by basically stating that we don’t need health care reform because all we need to do is buy and eat from Whole Foods.

Wow.

This is bizarre seeing as he recently stated that his stores sell a lot of junk. Hmm, isn’t that an odd admission from a supposed healthy food merchant?

The LA Times covers the brouhaha and The American Prospect provides some background on why Whole Foods isn’t as darling of an operation as you might have thought. We used to have some Wild Oats out here so I kind of knew some of this stuff.

Slate has an old article that I remember reading concerning the false “good” of our big organic food stores.

To their credit? Whole Foods now hosts a forum section dedicated to the editorial. Granted, they apparently deleted a multitude of threads prior to this move, so give that all the grains of salt you need to.

My favorite so far is this one created by an illiterate neo-con who now plans to shop at Whole Foods and supposedly makes 300k a year. Good luck with that buddy.

At DailyKos, a roundup of various opinions on the matter. Granted, most of them echo each other.

Here’s my personal thing. I don’t shop at Wal-Mart for a variety of reasons. I don’t shop at Home Depot since their CEO wanted anyone who backed a union to be “shot dead”.

Basically, I don’t buy stuff at places that adamantly are against me and mine and the things we support. Granted, mass media demands companies to advertise as many places as possible so I get that there is a bit of impossibility in the task.

That said, I used to grab lunch at Whole Foods and sit outside and read a book. (The one closest to us is across the way from a Borders.) Well, that’s done.

There may be a need to go to the damned place now and then (they have excellent cheeses) but I’ll be doing my damnedest to avoid giving this twit my hard earned cash whenever possible.

ThinkProgress points out the hypocrisy of GOP governors, Piyush Jindal in this case, of making an ass out of themselves of refusing federal stimulus money, then quietly accepting it, THEN taking credit for the money as if it magically appeared instead of getting on their knees and thanking the United States for creating jobs in their states seeing as their incompetent and/or broke selves couldn’t do it.
