THE SHIT PEDDLERS

Posted in Uncategorized by thinkingblue on the September 29th, 2008

All the myths that are floated as truth, is nauseating beyond the puke bucket. The right-winged, learned ones who perhaps didn’t sleep through all of their college courses, whip out the dialogue of mendacity every time they are threatened to be overthrown by THE OTHER PARTY. Oh they keep their fairytale myths alive all through their years of control but election time is when they really roll up their sleeves and get the SHIT shovels lined up to cover us all in blankets of Repulsive Untruths against our common senses and THE OTHER PARTY.

I picked up a newspaper belonging to a red bible belt area where many of the followers or better word SHEEP live and who desperately want to believe the crap their Right-winged commanders spew forth, even if it doesn’t quite make sense to them.

I started reading a column that appears often in this paper by Walter Williams. This educated man pulls out statistics that I swear comes from the same source Rush Limbaugh uses… THEIR BUTTS! So easy to make up figures and so difficult to search out real honest to goodness facts… I know I try and searches do cost you in time. Better to just accept the SHIT thrown your way, because said SHIT is sort of how you want to see it anyway.

But I digress, getting back to this conservative column writer, he wrote an article on how we are so much better off today than say the 1930′s or the 50′s… WHAT? Mr. Williams doesn’t want to use wages and income to show how things compare he rather use consumption… WHAT, AGAIN in this credit card era?

He claims it takes an average worker today, 2 hours to earn enough for 10 gallons of gas compared to 6 hours in 1935…(who had cars back then, I’ll bet it wasn’t your average minimum wage earner) Same with food claiming it takes 1.7 hours today to buy a “BASKET OF FOOD” and 6 hours of work in 1950… (I would like to see what the hell is in Mr. William’s “BASKET OF FOOD”!) Most homemakers baked their own bread, biscuits and cakes and meals were from SCRATCH, because they didn’t have to work outside the home… Today’s busy Mothers have to work a 40 hour week plus shop, cook, clean and take care of their children… Ain’t NO Easy Job, I know I held the double shift for years and years. Anyway, read his article at this link:

But you might want to get the puke bucket handy.
