			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>So I know it&#8217;s been a LONG motherfucking time since The Daily Retard has been online&#8230;.. Best I can tell I got hacked by some left-wing fucktard or something, I dunno&#8230;. In any case, I finally got around to digging up an old backup copy and put as much of the old shit together as I could to get back online. You can expect much of the same old shit as you used to get- profane ramblings about everything that pisses me off, blog posts about stupid fucking morons and idiots, athletes, reality TV shows, fuckhead celebrities and the like. I am going to TRY to stay away from the political ranting mostly because I just get so fucking pissed off that I can&#8217;t allow myself to think about shit like that. We&#8217;ll see what shakes out in the next year and a half though- that point of view may be subject to change at any point in time. Besides, the 2012 election commercials should be starting up any time now so stay tuned.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Let&#8217;s take a look at the impetus for my resurrection of the Daily Retard, because I know it&#8217;s gotta be killing you guys to find out why after 9 months offline I finally decided to bring this bitch back from the dead. That would be Gold Rush- Alaska. Possibly the biggest bunch of stupid fucking idiot morons ever assembled anywhere outside of a state OR national capital. I mean, I LOVE the thought of a bunch of unemployed losers getting together to head north to Alaska and start mining for gold- I think it&#8217;s fucking awesome and a real testament to the fact that the American Dream is still alive and well. When I started watching the show I was thinking it was really going to be a great one- until the first commercial break that is. It only took about 10 minutes for anyone with an IQ above room temperature (which sadly their group had none of) to realize that bunch of idiots was more than likely too stupid to keep from killing each other, much less EVER find any gold up there.</strong></p>

</div>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s take a look at the cast of characters and expose the idiocy for what it is&#8230;. First off, we have Todd Hoffman. The supposed leader of the crew, I think about the only thing he could ever lead would be a charge to the head of the line at the Golden Corral all-you-can-eat buffet. I don&#8217;t think he could possibly stop eating long enough to even get an excavator started. And Jack, the dad with &#8220;years of mining experience&#8221; needed to have someone flown in from 2000 miles away to show him how to dig a fucking HOLE! Seriously! Thurber, the owner of a sheet metal shop, didn&#8217;t even know how to run a fucking welder. And Harness, the mechanic, spent HALF THE SEASON in his trailer suffering from one ailment after another, supposedly due to car accidents and numerous injuries from the past. Well for FUCK&#8217;S SAKE- if you were going to be 30 miles into the middle of nowhere will hundreds of thousands of dollars in mechanical equipment, each and every single piece critical to the success of your operation, don&#8217;t you fucking think you should have brought someone worth a half a shit to try to keep it running? Remsburg was probably the most competent of the bunch, which is a pretty sad thing to say when you look at the amount of time he spent logging and building a house on the claim instead of trying to get the mining operation off the ground. I mean seriously, he was the site foreman and he spent half the show working on his house with a carpenter buddy. What the fucking FUCK is that???? And Dorsey- well, what do I really need to say about that dipshit. I mean, why was he even allowed to make the trip at all????? Let&#8217;s take a look at the &#8220;apology&#8221; between Greg and Dorsey in this video, as well as learn about Dorsey&#8217;s plan to become a fisherman LMMFAO!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Following is an email I got from a fellow Conservative-minded domestic terrorist, right wing lunatic, Tea Party member and I thought I&#8217;d share it here on the Retard. I don&#8217;t know how old it is or if everyone except me has seen it before, but it does highlight some interesting statistics and there is a LOT in those numbers to think about.</strong></p>
<div align="center"><img src="/obituary.jpg" alt="obituary for the united states" /></div>
<p><strong>Professor Joseph Olson of  Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota points out some interesting facts concerning last November&#8217;s Presidential election: </p>
<ul>
<li>Number of States won by:<br />
Obama: 19 vs. McCain: 29</li>
<li>Square miles of land won:<br />
Obama: 580,000 vs. McCain: 2,427,000</li>
<li>Population of counties won:<br />
Obama: 127 million vs. McCain: 143 million</li>
<li>Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won:<br />
Obama: 13.2 vs. McCain: 2.1</li>
</ul>
<p>Professor Olson adds: &#8220;In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the &#8220;complacency and apathy&#8221; phase of Professor Tyler&#8217;s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation&#8217;s population already having reached the &#8220;governmental dependency&#8221; phase.</p>
<p>If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called  illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.</p>
<p>&#8220;Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.&#8221; &#8211; D.H. Lawrence</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I can&#8217;t take credit for ANY of these thoughts. I can only give credit back to the wise, brave men they came from. Sure, I have lots of my own thoughts on the subject (obviously), but for today it&#8217;s important for you guys to read THESE thoughts. These are the things our Founding Fathers had in mind when they created this country&#8217;s Constitution and government and trust me- they knew what the FUCK they were talking about&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.&#8221;<br />
-Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759</p>
<p>&#8220;But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.&#8221;<br />
-John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, July 17, 1775</p>
<p>&#8220;Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.&#8221;<br />
-John Adams, Defense of the Constitutions, 1787</p>
<p>&#8220;Each individual of the society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property, according to standing laws. He is obliged, consequently, to contribute his share to the expense of this protection; and to give his personal service, or an equivalent, when necessary. But no part of the property of any individual can, with justice, be taken from him, or applied to public uses, without his own consent, or that of the representative body of the people. In fine, the people of this commonwealth are not controllable by any other laws than those to which their constitutional representative body have given their consent.&#8221;<br />
-John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776</p>
<p>&#8220;At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, Oct 31, 1823</p>
<p>&#8220;But with respect to future debt; would it not be wise and just for that nation to declare in the constitution they are forming that neither the legislature, nor the nation itself can validly contract more debt, than they may pay within their own age, or within the term of 19 years.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, September 6, 1789</p>
<p>&#8220;Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress, and Assemblies, Judges, and Governors, shall all become wolves.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Edward Carrington, January 16, 1787</p>
<p>&#8220;Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781</p>
<p>&#8220;Hamilton was indeed a singular character. Of acute understanding, disinterested, honest, and honorable in all private transactions, amiable in society, and duly valuing virtue in private life, yet so bewitched &#038; perverted by the British example, as to be under thoro&#8217; conviction that corruption was essential to the government of a nation.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, on Alexander Hamilton in The Anas, 1791-1806</p>
<p>&#8220;I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800</p>
<p>&#8220;It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression&#8230; that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary;&#8230; working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Charles Hammond, August 18, 1821</p>
<p>&#8220;I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.&#8221;<br />
-Benjamin Franklin, On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor, November 1766</p>
<p>&#8220;Where liberty dwells, there is my country.&#8221;<br />
-Benjamin Franklin (attributed), letter to Benjamin Vaughn, March 14, 1783</p>
<p>&#8220;If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute.&#8221;<br />
-Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I have been &#8220;formally&#8221; unemployed since Dec. 5 of 2008. Recall- that&#8217;s about a month after the USA was besmirched by our current pukehole of a government. Hell, I didn&#8217;t even make it long enough for the so-called inauguration for MY job to get axed. Am I collateral damage? Am I yet another right-wing radical, domestic terrorist, or whatever the FUCK else these libtard fuckheads wanna call those of use who DARE to speak our minds? Maybe&#8230;&#8230; Either way, I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</strong></p>
<p><strong>I am the PROUD father of three young children and another due in August. I love my children to the absolute ends of this Earth. I will do ANYTHING for them. I want nothing more than for them to learn about and embrace the American Dream I learned of when I was their age. I want them to embrace the incredible God-given freedom they can enjoy by living in this country- as I did when I was young. I want them to learn history AS IT HAPPENED, not as it is taught by some public servant, union slave, politically correct, time-clock-punching waste of fucking skin, government-textbook-preaching, teleprompter-reading, God-I&#8217;m-glad-I-have-summers-off shitbag oBAMA voter THINKS they should be taught. I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</strong></p>
<p><strong>I DO NOT WANT THEM SADDLED WITH A DEBT THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PAY- NOT THEIR CHILDREN OR THEIR CHILDREN&#8217;S CHILDREN! I want them responsible for nothing and no one more than themselves and those they CHOOSE to help- NOT an endless stream of welfare handouts and scumbag pukefucks who exist SOLELY to TAKE and not to give. No good and decent American citizen owes ANYTHING to ANYONE other than that which he has signed his name to. I owe NO ONE housing. I owe NO ONE health care. I owe NO ONE a car. Or an education. Or a monthly check. Or foodstamps. OR ANYTHING. AND I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</strong></p>
<p><strong>I AM AS MAD AS FUCKING HELL AND I AM NOT GONNA SHUT UP!  I have been told by MANY people I should keep my thoughts to myself- that I am the nail sticking above the floor waiting to get hammered down, that I am on &#8220;watch lists&#8221;, that I should let go and let God, and endless fucking MYRIAD of scared fucking bullshit spewed by chickenshit motherfuckers who are happy to slide along and just hope (and change- I guess) for things to get better. Guess what? THEY WON&#8217;T! I have too much pride, too much invested, to just sit idly by and hope someone else will stand for something for me. I owe it to my family to stand up and fight for what I believe in. What greater disgrace can a man feel than to be seen as one who sat by and watched his ideals trampled? How the FUCK does someone explain that to anyone and expect to maintain a SHRED of dignity and self-respect? I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Where the fuck do you timid fucking pussies think this country would be were it not for people willing to put it ALL on the line for what they believed? Are you fucking kidding me??? You spineless motherfuckers can sit on your leather couches and watch your flatscreen TVs in a happy little cul-de-sac in a tranquil subdivision and ignore reality all you want, until you realize that there were actual real-life men, men with honor and principles not bribes and kickbacks, who were willing to do WHATEVER IT TOOK to fight for the freedom you now not only enjoy but seem so willing to trade away for a &#8220;free lunch&#8221;. You fucking people make me sick and I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</strong></p>
<p><strong>At the end, I may well lose and I am prepared for that. I come from a line of men who were willing to fight (and lose) for what they believed. At the end of the day, we are people of honor who could fall asleep easily, enjoying the peaceful rest of people who KNOW they are right with the world. I will make CERTAIN my children enjoy the same peace- that they are true to themselves and to morally proper ideals and not the socialist, take-everything-away-and-make-slaves-of-everyone ideals of an unjustly elected figurehead for the absolute corruption that is today&#8217;s America. I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anyone who reads this post has a VERY simple choice to make- you either stand with me or against me. There is NO middle ground in this fight. You CANNOT be a &#8220;little bit&#8221; pregnant. There is no way to ride the fence in this battle. You either stand for freedom, liberty and the Constitution or you are a fucking lemming following the rest of the sheeple off the cliff into the so-called promised land. Pick your side and pick up your arms. I, for one, know EXACTLY where I stand, I KNOW what I will fight for and I WILL NOT SHUT UP!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Following is an excerpt on some stuff I posted at a message board. There is OBVIOUSLY a lot of differing viewpoints on what&#8217;s happening- here are mine:</strong></p>
<p><strong>I think as time passes and more people realize just how assfucked we are, you will see less and less people identifying with Democrat or Republican and it will become more of a system of the people who have no self-reliance or drive and want everything handed to them and do nothing for it VS. a group of people who still know there IS NOTHING FOR FREE and to have success in this life you need both the drive and self-interest to achieve it as well as an environment where people are allowed to pursue success without the government telling them all the way along what and how they can and cannot do it. As far as I am concerned, half can have the eastern half of the USA, the other half can take the western half of the USA (we can split at the Mississippi river). Then we&#8217;ll compare notes in 5 or 10 years and see what&#8217;s working out better.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Like I said, with the healthcare takeover, combined with the auto manufacturers and big banks/insurance companies the federal government now controls over 50% of the US economy. This is TERRIFYING.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And to anyone who thinks the government will somehow be able to run things better than private companies motivated by profits and free market economics, you need to have a window installed in your stomach so you can watch all your work and money stripped by 16,000 (not 6000) new armed IRS agents while you blither along through life with your head up your ass. Cash4Clunkers, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, how big a list do you need of the EPIC FUCKING FAILURES the government has tried to run?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Not to mention the fact that this bill is an abortion of the Constitution and states&#8217; rights on at least 3 different accounts- the 5th, 9th and 10th Amendments. Or the fact that it flies COMPLETELY in the face of the very base principles upon which this country was founded. Or the fact that between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 Americans supported the bill and I bet 99 of 100 of that 20-25 percent NEVER actually took the time to read a single fucking thing about what is actually in the bill.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The health care system is flawed TO BE SURE, but this is so far the wrong way to go about fixing it that the ONLY conclusion to be drawn is that the bill has NOTHING to do with fixing health care and EVERYTHING to do with an ever-increasing Federal government presence in each and every single aspect of our lives.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I haven&#8217;t really mentioned idiot golf pro Tiger Woods yet, mostly because I think people can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want as long as it doesn&#8217;t bother anyone else. Then I got to thinking that running around fucking women all over the country without your wife&#8217;s knowledge *might* be a little bit bothersome, plus I had said for years that Tiger Woods is an asspuppet, plus most if not all &#8220;professional&#8221; athletes are idiots, plus I have golf, AND I got a couple funnies in the email this morning so I thought I would share them here&#8230;.</strong></p>

<h3>Idiot Athlete Tiger Woods New Book</h3>

<h3>Little Johnny and Tiger Woods</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal.</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Little Johnny says to himself &#8220;Good, I want to get outta here. I&#8217;m smart and will answer the question.&#8221;</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;Who said &#8216;Four Score and Seven Years Ago&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, &#8220;Abraham Lincoln.&#8221;</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;That&#8217;s right Susie, you can go home.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;Who said &#8216;I Have a Dream&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, &#8220;Martin Luther King.&#8221;</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;That&#8217;s right Mary, you can go.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnny is even madder than before.</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;Who said &#8216;Ask not, what your country can do for you&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, &#8220;John F. Kennedy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Teacher: &#8220;That&#8217;s right Nancy, you may also leave.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions.</p>
<p>When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, &#8220;I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!&#8221;</p>
<p>The teacher turns around: &#8220;NOW WHO SAID THAT?&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnny: &#8220;TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?&#8221;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This is just gonna be a quick one from the Retard today, but it&#8217;s well worth reading on many levels from the blatantly obvious to the genuinely sublime. Got it in an email from a cousin of mine, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I have no idea who the guy is, where he teaches or even if it&#8217;s a scan job of one of the pictures people use for building &#8220;professional-looking&#8221; websites, but it works with the story so what the hell&#8230;.</strong></p>
<div align="center">
<h3>Quote of the Day</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>As the late Adrian Rogers said, &#8220;you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.&#8221;</strong></p>
<div align="center">
<h3>This Teacher is Truly a Genius</h3>
<p><img src="/genius-college-professor.jpg" ></div>
<p><strong>An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.</strong></p>
<p><strong>That class had insisted that Obama&#8217;s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The professor then said, &#8220;OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama&#8217;s plan.&#8221;</strong> </p>
<p><strong>All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>The second test average was a D! No one was happy.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>When the third test rolled around, the average was an F.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Remember, there is a mid-term election in 2010!</strong> </p>
<p><strong>Many, not all, of the people up for re-election are very concerned- not necessarily for you or me- but for themselves.  I encourage each of you to become informed and VOTE  for what you believe in and want accomplished by the people elected BY YOU.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Well, as my good buddy <a href="http://feedyouradhd.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Dave</a> was kind enough to point out via a well-deserved comment on <a href="http://dailyretard.com/i-told-you-global-warming-was-bullshit/">this post</a>, I managed to get not-so-daily again&#8230;. So here I am, back at it and mad as fucking hell at the Goddamn liberal fucktards running this Country (into the ground&#8230;). First, a little picture for y&#8217;all. I imagine you have seen it before, but it&#8217;s so damn true that it bears re-posting. I don&#8217;t know where it came from, I grabbed it from a webmaster message board. But obviously it was taken somewhere in Texas.</strong></p>

<div align="center">
<h3>Al Gore is STILL a Dumbass Liberal Fuckhead</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>Now as if that simple fact isn&#8217;t glaringly obvious, you owe it to yourself to watch this video of Al Gore on CNN trying to say that the ClimateGate emails are &#8220;out of context&#8221; and a &#8220;controversy without real substance&#8221;. Now, the asskissing in this clip is enough to make my fucking stomach turn, and seeing Al Gore makes me want to smash things with a hammer, but you owe it to yourself to watch it and see the kind of bullshit these liberal fuckheads continue to spew, when faced with undeniable proof of the junk science that is global warming.</strong></p>
<div align="center">
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dtdoPeYdNRA&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dtdoPeYdNRA&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
</div>
<p><strong>These fuckhead treehugging idiot dumbfuck jackass retarded fuckhead morons are so out of touch with reality there really is no hope for them. And Al Gore has got to be the ringleader of the three ring circus of lies and bullshit, even though HE ADMITS HE HASN&#8217;T READ ALL THE EMAILS. This is the kind of shit that happens when you take a bunch of elitist liberal dumbasses like college professors and PHD&#8217;s, give them a BUNCH of government grants to play around in labs to advance your ridiculous liberal agenda of &#8220;global warming&#8221; and they actually discover the truth- that there is no such thing. But- if the truth were to get out, how many millions (or billions) of dollars would they lose? Not to mention the fact that they would be forced to face the fact that their own beliefs are dead wrong. These fucking asspuppets- Al Gore, the &#8220;scientists&#8221; (and I use that term pretty loosely in this case), the fuckheads at this Copenhagen summit, and every other stupid liberal tree-hugging, Prius-driving, global-warming-believing idiot on the planet- are a bunch of soul-less pieces of whaleshit and they all deserve to rest at the bottom of the ocean because after all, that&#8217;s where the whaleshit belongs.</strong></p>
<div align="center">
<h3>What&#8217;s REALLY Wrong with Dumbass Liberals</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>For the purpose of this discussion, I am referring to the dumbass liberals inside the beltway, that merry bunch of elected fuckheads responsible for the current state of affairs in this country and in such complete and total blind denial of the damage they have already caused and continue to cause that they march ever forward advancing their Marxist agenda without a single thought or consideration to what they are doing to our Country. I think what the REAL problem with these fucktards is that they are so totally insulated from any semblance of what normal Americans call reality they honestly have NO CLUE what they are doing to us. Look for a minute at the strongholds of so-called liberals in our society- the Hollywood elite, tenured college professors (and the education system in general), organized labor union leaders and the mainstream media. I mean, for Christ&#8217;s sake! NO ONE in ANY of those groups has EVER had an actual job, any idea how to actually work for a living, no idea how to create anything, no experience whatsoever in the real world. And THESE are the people that are &#8220;advising&#8221; the dumbass liberals who currently hold an overwhelming and likely unconstitutional majority in Washington. How the fuck can you blame them for their stupidity?? I mean, if dumbass liberals <em>had</em> any common sense, they wouldn&#8217;t BE liberal so the puppets continue to let the above-mention groups of fucking retarded idiot morons continue to pull their strings, rather than listening to the deafening (and growing DAILY) roar of the American public SCREAMING at them that we don&#8217;t want the bill of goods they are trying to sell- by &#8220;sell&#8221; of course I mean shove down our collective throats and shove up our collective asses.</strong></p>
<div align="center">
<h3>Some Interesting New Poll Numbers</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>So I was driving around today in my big-ass Hemi-powered, rainforest-destroying, gas-guzzling Dodge Ram and listening to talk radio and I heard some numbers that actually made me smile from ear to fucking ear&#8230;. Apparently, depending on the source, <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/124610/Brief-Uptick-Obama-Approval-Slips.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ba-Cracked Insane Obamarx&#8217;s approval numbers</a> are anywhere from the mid-40&#8217;s to the upper 30&#8217;s- inching ever closer to actually being lower the unemployment rate which as you recall I predicted would happen. A mere 30% of Americans <a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/200712130008" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">approve of what the dumass liberals in Congress are doing</a>. 30 FUCKING PERCENT! Are you kidding me? For a government of the polls, by the polls and for the polls you would THINK this MIGHT get the fuckheads to take a little notice but so far I haven&#8217;t seen it. But this last one here is my favorite- <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1209/Bush_closes_the_gap.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nearly HALF the country would rather still have Dubya as president than the current Obamination</a> living in the religion-neutral-for-Christmas White House. What more proof do you need that the jackass hates America? What the FUCK is more American than Christmas??? One more bit of good news- 20% of Americans want <a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/70241/poll-35-percent-of-republicans-want-to-impeach-obama" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ba-Cracked Insane Obamarx impeached</a>! I have no idea what the HELL is wrong with the other 80%, but I guess the &#8220;hope&#8221; I have is that they will &#8220;change&#8221; their minds&#8230;.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Just in case the title wasn&#8217;t clear enough, I said GLOBAL WARMING IS BULLSHIT. Been saying it for years now&#8230;. And it seems the bunch of fuckhead idiot scientists may have finally realized the gig is up, as they have conveniently &#8220;lost&#8221; all the raw data. You know- the actual facts and figures and measurements, the results of untold BILLIONS of dollars of government-subsidized &#8220;research&#8221; they have been manipulating for years to try to convince all of us smarter than Al Gore (which is damn near everyone with an IQ above room termperature) that the sky is falling, the ice caps are melting, the ozone is disappearing, and soon the entire planet will be under water.</strong><br />
<strong>I found this video over at <a href="http://mainfo.blogspot.com/2009/11/climate-change-data-was-destroyed.html" target="_blank">Opie&#8217;s MAInfo blog</a> and I had to share it with you. A brief warning, though&#8230;.. This raging fucking idiot bitch named Nancy Skinner has GOT to be (well, OK, not including Nasty Botoxi) one of the stupidest people I have ever seen open her worthless yap on TV. But, don&#8217;t fast-forward through her idiocy- it&#8217;s important to listen to the utter bullshit she is spewing so you have a good idea of just how abominably STUPID these people really are.</strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936328.ece" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s a link</a> to the article where they admit to dumping all the raw data- it&#8217;s a short read but rather interesting&#8230;. It seems they admit to dumping all the raw data, keeping only &#8220;the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data&#8221;. Now what the FUCK does that mean? &#8220;Quality controlled and homogenized&#8221;??? I think that&#8217;s moonbat-speak for &#8220;all the numbers that we had to cook to make sure we can keep supply the world with false information to support the junk-science theories that &#8216;global warming&#8217; actually exists and is really something more than just statistical anomolies&#8221;. But that&#8217;s just <em>my</em> opinion&#8230;.</strong><br />
<strong>I mean, we <em>are</em> talking about &#8220;scientists&#8221; who have threatened everything from reputation-smearing to actual physical violence toward any of their peers who would dare to dispute their &#8220;truths&#8221;, aren&#8217;t we? Don&#8217;t believe me? <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703499404574559630382048494.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_opinion" target="_blank">Read the WSJ article right here</a>! This bunch of tree-hugging asshats are SO bent on advancing their own agenda they will do anything to discredit anyone who dares contradict them in their endless torrent of bullshit research and statistics they concoct to futilely attempt to give some credence to &#8220;global warming&#8221;. Here&#8217;s a great <a href="http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/17364" target="_blank">article from the Canada Free Press</a> where you can see these fuckheads and read more about them than you ever knew you wanted to know&#8230;..</strong><br />
<strong>I&#8217;m telling you people, this idiocy has GOT to be stopped. This great country, and I daresay the planet itself, is accelerating toward a complete and total collapse so fast it&#8217;s hard to keep up with it or even figure out what the endgame will be. Which straw will finally break the camel&#8217;s back? The whole thing reminds me of a rotting corpse to be honest- when a body rots it fills with gas and bloats, sometimes to the point of explosion. And if we do not do something to stop the liberal bullshit and progressive idiots that are attacking the great body of America, she is going to continue to swell and bloat and finally, just explode. And it is gonna be one HELL of a mess to clean up&#8230;.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Happy Thanksgiving from The Daily Retard! I wanted to get this post out yet today rather than tomorrow in hopes you readers will enjoy it, and think about it, as you gather to celebrate tomorrow. You will find the &#8220;voice&#8221; of today&#8217;s post different than most of them- that is for a reason. Mostly because as it relates to the context of this specific holiday- there is nothing funny about what is happening. It&#8217;s damned serious, maybe more serious than anything other than actual real &#8220;life and death&#8221;, and I decided to treat it as such.</strong><br />
<strong>Now, we all know the happy story about the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620, half of them dying the first winter, the Indians (we call them Indians here, because <em>most</em> of us in 2009 are as native to America as they were) teaching them to farm, the bountiful harvest, the huge feast, etc&#8230;. That all makes great fodder for grade school kids and pretty colored things to hang on the refrigerator. But as is so often the case with history, it&#8217;s nowhere NEAR the entire story. And as is also so often the case, the whole story is MUCH uglier and less palatable than what we see in the cornucopias and Norman Rockwell paintings.</strong><br />
<strong>The following quote is taken from <a href="http://www.hslda.org/docs/hshb/93/hshb9326.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HSLDA</a>: &#8220;In 1777, Congress issued its first Thanksgiving proclamation, declaring, &#8216;It is the indispensable Duty of all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received … . It having pleased him in his abundant Mercy … to smile upon us in the Prosecution of a just and necessary War, for the Defense and Establishment of our unalienable Rights and Liberties; particularly … to crown our Arms with most signal success … .&#8217;&#8221;</strong><br />
<strong>I also want to direct your attention to George Washington&#8217;s Thanksgiving Proclamation made in 1789, which you can read in full <a href="http://www.cicentre.com/Documents/DOC_Geo_Washington_Proclamation.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. I want you to pay particular attention to the last part of this particular passage: &#8221; Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me &#8216;to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:&#8217;&#8221;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Now, I want you readers to remember what the Pilgrims risked EVERYTHING for, and why the Revolutionary War was fought. I want you to take some time to reflect on the sacrifices these men and women made. In this modern-day life of cell phones, lattes, laptop computers and HDTVs it&#8217;s tough to even wrap your mind around, isn&#8217;t it? But I dare say, there are few things more important&#8230;. Some of the things our Founding Fathers were trying to escape sound awfully familiar don&#8217;t they? No freedom of speech? No freedom of religion? The right to keep and bear arms? Taxation without representation? An oppressive, tyrannical government? Few personal property rights and fewer personal liberties?</strong><br />
<strong>Did the colonists come here because they heard America was giving away health care? Cash4Clunkers? Money for houses? To elect a massive, elitist, centralized nanny state federal government and allow them to operate with impunity in complete disregard for it&#8217;s constituency? 99 weeks of unemployment benefits? Food stamps? Cash welfare payments? I think not. They came here because they believed so passionately in a human beings right to be FREE from the encumberance of tyrannical, oppressive government they were willing to risk absolutely everything for the chance to live free. Did you read the passage above? &#8220;The Defense and Establishment of our unalienable Rights and Liberties&#8221;- I think there are few statements more powerful than that. If I were a better writer, I could likely prattle on in flowery prose, expanding on that statement and extrapolating it to withdraw more emotion. Sadly, I have not those skills and I will just allow the words to speak for themselves. They do a damned fine job without me.</strong><br />
<strong>Folks, America as we know her, as she has existed since 1776, is dying. She has been sick for a good while now, as Her citizens and leaders have moved further away from Her principles. There can be much debate as to where exactly the tide began to turn in her 233 year history. But the fact that we as a country are inching ever closer to EXACTLY what it is our forefathers sought to escape CANNOT be denied. We cannot continue to ignore what is happening to our great Country. In much the same way as we likely cannot pinpoint a single moment when the sickness began, we likely cannot predict an exact moment when She breathes her last breath. But be CERTAIN of this- that moment is inching ever closer. Every time an individual&#8217;s liberty is surrendered to the government, every time something is taken from an individual by the government and redistributed to another, each and every single time the leaders act in blatant disregard for the Constitution and the noble principles of out Founding Fathers She gets a little sicker. Is it too late? I honestly do not know.</strong><br />
<strong>I <em>DO</em> know this- it took a long time to get where we are today. It is NOT the result of a single, monumental action. It is the end result of many thousands of small actions, kind of a &#8220;death by 1000 papercuts&#8221;&#8230;. Inasmuch as it was not a single event that brought us to this point, I firmly believe it does NOT have to be a single event that will reverse the course. I am just a single blogger with the freedom (for as long as it is still allowed) to write and share my thoughts with anyone who chooses to read them (for as long as THAT is still free). I also know this- there ARE good people in this country, who believe it&#8217;s worth fighting for. And each one of us who believes and is willing to fight is a single voice to unite in a chorus, to begin to turn the tide, to heal the sickness and restore our great America to where She belongs.</strong></p>
