Only Idiots right letters to the editor

I hate every single person who writes letters to the editor in my city. Every single one is an uneducated, redneck conservative who backs Bush only with similies and metaphors and no real facts. Example:

Teach a man to fish, and he'll vote for Bush

Subject: Conservatism vs. Liberalism

Recently a wise transformed Democratic liberal, who converted to a smart reformed conservative, identified the difference between the two. His analogy was this. A liberal Democrat will give you a small half-rotten fish to eat, keeping you from starving and then dependent on the liberal Democratic agenda forever.

A conservative will give you a fishing pole, teach you how to fish, so you can catch what you want, when you want, how many you want. If you catch more than you need, you are allowed to sell the extra fish and maybe buy a boat to improve you catch in life even more.

If you want a half dead fish now and then just to stay alive and dependednt, then vote for the number one liberal in America, John Kerry!

If you want to succeed in life and improve your own personal situation, then learn how to fish, become less dependent and more self-sufficient which in turn will make America stronger for you and your children for centuries to come (just to cut in, what the fuck is this guy talking about now?), that conservative is George W. Bush must be re-elected for the good of all Americans, even for those self-proclaimed sensible Americans who rely on handouts rather than contributing to our great nation and society in general.

Ok now, lets evaluate this rambling piece of shit.

1) Fishing is the subject of this letter, so is politics. No good comparisons are even made.

2) Nothing is backed with facts. Its completely opinionated and ignorant.

3) Since when do democrats give you a 'half rotten fish'. Last time i checked, we're for the good of everyong

4) Conservatives give you a fishing pole. It sounds like he is talking about conservatives giving the 'fishing poles' to big business, so they can buy 'bigger boats' and sell all of the 'extra fish'.

5) The writer says John Kerry is America's number 1 liberal. WOW. I'm a bigger liberal than Kerry is.

6) The last paragraph is nothing really. Its just a big long sentence about 1 opinion with plenty of fancy adjectives. He also trys to use the guilt thing on you (ie: '...make America stronger for and your children for centuries to come...')

7) This guys knows nothing. He quoted a person who also seems to know nothing. He called this comparison an analogy. Analogies are something like 'red : blue :: 1 : 2'.

8) He says re-electing Bush will make America stronger. Even conservatives know, but not admit it, that Bush is weakening our country. We are in a huge debt now, we are fighting THE single most pointless war ever, to say you're American is now embarrassing and our president making more gramatical errors than a feces... i mean fetus.

9) He keeps speaking for everyone, saying things like '...even for those self proclaimed sensible Americans (obviously, he isn't talking about himself here)...'

Overall, this letter sucked. I was in awe of his stupidity the first time i read this. Even the title is ridiculous. 'Teach a man how to fish, and he'll vote for Bush'. How about 'Don't read this, i'm drunk as hell'.

Nothing was useful at all. If this letter accomplished anything, it was opening people's eyes to how dumb some other people really are.

but what's scary is how common it is for people to be that under-educated about something as serious as voting for a president. I don't care who people vote for, but make your vote an intelligent one, that's all I ask. It scares me how many people are completely clueless about what/who they vote for.

I think you should write a letter to the editor.

the question I would have to ask is who has George W 'taught to fish'? There has been so much outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries, job loss, and economic crisis during Bush Jr's presidency, I ask who has been taught to fish? The only jobs that I can think of that have been widely created are underpaid military jobs that pay people just enough to live at or below the poverty line.

Is this what anyone would call being 'taught to fish'? How many of these people will learn a valuable skill or make a career out of the military, not many is my guess.

i was reading the paper the other day and it had a bunch of peoples views on the draft being reinstated. only peopl 65 or older had anything valuble to say. one girl started of with 'Oh my god yes i am concerned!' others spoke for everybody. another kid said women shouldnt be drafted because he likes women. it was terrible

my favorite letter to the editor was written some months back.. it was something like this (yes, it was very short).

With all the turmoil in Haiti, I'm amazed Bush, being the great humanitarian he is, hasn't sent in American aide. Does Haiti have oil?

If you want to talk about outsourcing, lets look at Kerry and 80% of workers for Heinz are out of the Country. Loss of jobs... research was proven that the economy started to go down before Bush even got to the office... so thank your # 1 President Clinton. Regarding military, do you want those people to work in McDonalds rather then in Army and learn responsobility and etc...

I'll put money on someone trying to say i'm uncredible because i spelled that wrong. They'll say i'm uncredible because they'll be conservative and try to get off the topic of politics when talking about Bush.

Ant4life, what you said wasn't ingorant, or brilliant, it was just kind of a dumb thing to say. You could go learn the value of a dollar by working at mcdonalds for minimum wage to see what its really like to work. but i'm not gonna say don't join the army, because someone has got to defend us.

Fuck the Army and fuck the war, but without the war of some sort we are fucked. From the get go you must of been stupid to believe that the only reason why US went to war in Iraq is to 'help them out' it was one of the causes, but the main cause in my opinion was oil, just like what Melvs said.

-People say marijuana ruins your life, I just say I take the scenic route-

 
teach a president how to fish and he'll spend most of his time in office doing it.....at least when he's taking a break from golfing that is

There's a reason 80% of Heinz workers (I'm not checking that figure, and I'd like to know the source, but even if it IS true) are out of country: Heinz is an international affair. Find out how much of Nike's workforce is out of the country, or how much of K2's staff is out of the country, and you'll find similar figures. And one other thing. Why is it that whnever anything goes wrong during Bush's term they say 'That was bound to happen because of Clinton', but on the rare occasion that something good happens, we're all supposed to bow down to the great leader? Since his election, he's used it as an excuse... 'Well, we'd like to do that, but we didn't realize the awful state of affairs left by Clinton.' I'm inclined to think that Clinton's somehow managed to serve three terms. That tricky devil.

clinton isnt to blame for everything, but he did fuck shit up before he left. out military was completley crippled by him. he had us in... ah, 13 i think military operations, while cutting the military in half. 13 may not sound like a lot but its way more than bush has, or will. and then everyone says that bush is bloodthirsty

skierdudeguy-

Clinton's military operations were mostly humanitarian or peacekeeping. The humanitarian argument could also be made for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, but I think if you'll look at the current state of the affair, the means don't justify the end because the end hasn't been reached.

Dont be a fucking idiot, next time you say 'I suck' or anything, I'm going to call you a faggot for sucking dick. Mission Accomplished, could mean anything, it could mean mission accomplished for getting into Iraq, mission accomplished for getting Saddam, it could mean anything, so dont be stupid.

my work got a letter to the editor because we discriminate against daycares. apparently. cuz this daycare didnt have the right ratio of adults to nonswimmers. so we didnt let them in. then they said we discriminate against daycares, and we said their name 'plumtree daycare' in a meeting, and they freak out, 'were not a daycare' or some shit. it was fucked

ok so now all of clintons military actions are peacekeeping, but any thing that bush does is a horrible attack on an innocent country that has no reason being attacked at all, last time i checked if a leader has killed almost a million of his own people during his reign it isnt that much of a bad thing for him to be removed

God bless the great propaganda machine the US political system has created.

As to Asac's responce to #5 'kerry is the biggest or number one liberal'. That can actually be backed up by fact just by looking at his voting record on issues. He has voted more liberal than anybody and that is a fact. So please none of this 'i'm a bigger liberal than Kerry' stuff let’s stick to the facts.

 
^Firstly, that's incorrect. The concern that released the information pegging Kerry as the #1 liberal was selective in what aspects of his voting record they focussed on. Throughout his career, Kerry is right of Ted Kennedy, and Edwards is more conservative than the average Dem. Just to set the record straight... I'm not sure that's a GOOD thing.

''call me ignorant if you want but you know what? i really don't care! ''

This is the sort of thing that's wrong with your country. People who have groundless, uneducated opinions that they base votes on, and they don't even care that they're uninformed. You might be wrong, and you veery arguably are, but you don't care? How much of a service do you actually think you're doing your country with that kind of an attitude?

JD, thanks for basically re-iderating my original point (in the 2nd post in this thread), but I think you might have said it better than I did.

J.D. it was selective in that the

National Journal selects dozens of key votes (62 for the Senate in 2003) and divides them among three categories of issues: economic, social and foreign policy. I don't think that the National Journal is biased one way or the other.

 
I'm just saying that if you take his career in the senate as a whole, he's not as extreme as the talking points try to make him appear.

lieral or conservative, its a slightly different spin on the same old bullshit. You are still just a pawn, paying taxes to a government that is irresponsible, wasteful and unnessary.

well why do you guys think big business are outsourcing and setting up companies in other countries (because big business in america get taxed to death) There arnt enough incentives set up too keep jobs here or even companies in general. If it were a lot less expensive companies would stay here instead of risking a foreign country where they arnt protected by American law, reliable power, the reliability and consistancy of life in America.

exactly, broadly reducing government power is one of the few things that benefits everyone, from hobos to tycoons.

^They don't outsource because they're getting 'taxed to death' in America, that's just plain bullshit. Companies outsource because they can get cheaper labor by exploiting the lack of worker's rights in other countries. Outsourcing is a product of corporate greed and self-service, not of American taxes.

Stacie: 'Aren't you going to open your gift?'

Wayne: 'If it's a severed head, I'm going to be very upset.'
 
^ well regardless how you choose to perceive it, it is A LOT more expensive to setup shop here as opposed to elsewhere. So taxing the shit out of them doesnt help matters out. Also the labor they employ in other countries helps out the communities a bunch. I remeber a case study in economics class about all the great things an american business can do for a 3rd world community. They usually bring with them running water, electricity, some form of healthcare and pay above what the works would make normally.

while helpig teh 3rd world country, they're ruining our own. I love how that system works.

'hey, the labor here is to expensive, lets go down to mexico and pay them next to nothing. the work will have the same quality, cause it takes no brains t all to do teh petty manufactoring work these low end workers will do. Sure, it'll ruin thousands of lives, but fuck it, instead of making 270.8 billion this year, we'll make 300.2 billion. That extra 30 billion should be good for something...'

Of course it's more expensive to set up shop in the U.S., because we have institutions in place to regulate business. True, American business may improve the quality of life in other countries if regulated correctly, but I don't think that many businesses outsource to Indonesia to make a humanitarian gesture, do you? I can think of much better ways to improve the quality of life in third-world countries than employing their citizens in sweatshops.

Regardless, the point we're arguing here is that companies make MORE money by outsourcing. When it comes to American taxation, those who make more should be taxed more... don't you agree?

to answer you ethan...

Democrats: yes, that makes since, I think that if people make more, they should be taxed more.

Republicans: no, that makes no sense, tax everyone the same.

Rich people: who gives a shit, my accoutant will find loopholes somehow.

poor people: I can't support my family with these taxes taking away so much.

Yes I totally agree but I still think it should be somewhat proportionate. For instance I'm currently a student and I make less than 15 grand a year I get 100% of my federal back at the end of the tax year. So I don't even need to help out at all because I dont have much money? My dad on the other hand pays roughly 50% of his income into taxes, so he should have to pay as much as a thousand people who have less money than he does? I don't know it just seems kinda fucked I think there should be some kind of flat tax like everyone gets hit with 15%. It just seems more fair to me that everyone should have to chip in just, because someone works their whole life to have a career that pays well that means we should take half his money?

God is an American.
 
No I dont think they should be taxed more, they earned their money same way you did and should be taxed the exact same ammount as you, or the guy next door with a 2.5 million dollar house.

-People say marijuana ruins your life, I just say I take the scenic route-
