Absolutely brilliant, and brilliantly funny!

gotta learn that line.

Liberals don't exist anymore, or at least they have no political power except for maybe the ACLU and Greenpeace and the hippies at the whole foods stores. There is only an inept disjointed moderate party and a welfare for the rich party. Any good those leftists try to do is perverted into corporate welfare by the greedy thieves who get their fingers in it on the way, with no exception.

All this is true...and these are their 'good' points.

@Claronium780 Take money from hard working people and give it to the poor. Now nobody has motivation to work. How is that going to work out? Liberals are delusional. 

[LordVigeous666999]

if you want to keep wealth away from people who desperately need it, take it away from those who already have it

I support welfare and redistribution of wealth because I hate poor people, and the easiest way to ensure they stay in the gutter where they belong, is to take money away from those who will invest and create new wealth raising the standard of living of everyone

"Leftist"? Only a brainwashed neo-liberal utopian could make such an ignorant claim with a strait face and not be lying. Obama is centre right all the way; this is verifiable fact; look at historical definitions. It's just the American politics and culture have moved so dramatically to the right their society really is half police state, half facist, half equivelent to Nazi right now. It a shame this guy was born in the US & had a decent brain filled with shit.

[Claronium780]

giving away other people's way over-deserved wealth to those who desperately need wealth? FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKK PJ o'Rourke ! Typical Conservative, at least in some ways, thinks his OPINION makes it fact !
