America the Spoiled

On October 9, 2011, in Politics, by Henshaw

Here’s a great “protest” song by reason.tv. When you see fat people complaining about starving in the street and Facebook groups devoted to disseminating information you have to wonder, is this the real face of poverty? Only a spoiled society could complain about wealth distribution when even the poorest citizens are better off than the richest citizens one hundred years ago and the vast majority of people in the world today.

Before any accuses me of being some heartless rich person. I grew up in what we call “poverty” when I was a child. I was able to put myself through college. Through hard work my parents were able to enjoy a comfortable life. They did this without complaining and without seeking government assistance. Meanwhile, Club Soda worked three part-time jobs and freelanced when he got out of college. Club Soda does not recall ever expecting or wanting anything from the government, nor did he expect to make lots of money right out of college.

bush on tour

Oh, Canada
Former president George Bush gave his first speech since leaving the White House. It was in Calgary, Canada of all places. Bush always draws a cloud. He’s not even the president anymore but the fringe left still came out to protest. I guess intelligence is not required.

“He is a war criminal who fought an illegal war, and there are some who say he was never elected democratically, so there are some who say he should be arrested as soon as he comes here,” said a woman dressed as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner, who called herself Ivana Nomobush.
She had brought with her a makeshift “shoe cannon” that catapulted footwear, but complained that security personnel were not letting her use it.

So is Ivana Nomobush protesting on the behalf of “some” or for herself? According tho her logic aren’t we still fighting an illegal war? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Miss Nomobush wouldn’t protest president Obama.
