Top 10 List....only in America

[drifter106]

This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's "call it what you want" a.k.a. "stupidity...


# 10 Only in America... could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event.

# 09 Only in America... could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans
when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black, 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!
,
# 08 Only in America... could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and MeansCommittee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

# 07 Only in America... can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

# 06 Only in America... would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens. (probably should be number one)

# 05 Only in America... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be called EXTREMISTS.

# 04 Only in America... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

# 03 Only in America... could peopledemand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

# 02 Only in America... could you collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7 Million PER MINUTE,and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

# 01 Only in America.... could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

A Canadian top ten or right wing email propaganda top ten? You righties are pure stupidity

 

[umbrella39]

This is Politics and News. Not copy and paste the FWD : FWD : FWD : contents of your inbox. The CBD in full display.

 

[Annisman*]

It might be right wing but I don't see how any of those points can be defended.

 

[ivwshane]

It might be right wing but I don't see how any of those points can be defended.

That's because you are a fucking moron who is incapable of thinking for themselves.

Like I said, you righties are so incredibly stupid.

 

[pcgeek11]

It looks like every one of those points are true. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you believe in.

Does anyone have a rebuttal for the actual points presented? Other than quoting " CBD " which is stupid.

 

[blastingcap]

It might be right wing but I don't see how any of those points can be defended.

Are you freaking serious? Those are just stupid.

E.g., http://www.nber.org/papers/w9873 is just one of many, MANY studies on racism in America.

I hate extremists on both ends of the political spectrum. So much stupidity on both ends.

How about this: "Only in America... could the poor Republican voters think that the rich Republicans actually give a shit about poor people--including poor Republicans." They only care that you show up to vote for them, and not much else. And by the way unless your net worth is over $8 million, then you are in the bottom 99% for wealth. A mil or two is chump change to the truly wealthy, whose views are overrepresented in Congress.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

OP is from Kansas.

Par for the course, I'd say.

 

[nickqt]

Only in America can 99.9% of elected politicians be Christians and yet Christians claim there is a war on Christianity.

Only in America can neo-conservative neo-liberal Democrats be considered leftists, socialists and communists.

Only in America can rich people claim that poors need their taxes raised while calling for tax cuts on the richest people in the solarsystem.

Yeah, only in America.

 

[ivwshane]

It looks like every one of those points are true. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you believe in.

Why would we bother rebutting this bullshit? Do you think you'd change your mind with countering facts?

Without any verification by you, you've already deemed every point made as true. If you were truly interested in the facts you would have researched at least a couple of the claims yourself, but you didn't, did you?

 

[Smoblikat]

That's because you are a fucking moron who is incapable of thinking for themselves.

Like I said, you righties are so incredibly stupid.

Please enlighten us, so far all you "lefties" have proven is that you are marginally better than a 5 year old at name calling.

How about Obama being a mere piker at his $35,000 a plate dinner? Both sides rake in the bucks off of whatever issues that they can use to milk their followers for funds. When it comes to fundraising, the democrats are pikers compared to the money that gets thrown at Republican candidates, which makes the wingnut whining about Democrat fundraising hilarious. The rest of the list is the usual grab bag of wingnut grievances that are just as full as crap as the one I just shot down.

This list wasn't written by a Canadian because real Canadians don't give a shit about the mess we have here.

 

[brycejones]

OP did you vote for Brownback? Do you think the "tax experiment" in our home state is working?

 

[NeoV]

Only in America does public stupidity like this exist

 

[Orignal Earl]

This list wasn't written by a Canadian because real Canadians don't give a shit about the mess we have here.

I find it fascinating how easily so many posters here fall for this crap.
It's just a little different play on the way some posters in the gamergate thread defend themselves with some website that told them people would call them crazy, therefore they think they can dismiss it.

You're from Kansas. Don't tell me what I think about you.

Edit. I got to #7 and stopped reading. This list is unacceptable garbage. Ban OP.

So, In other words you cannot. Thanks for making my point.

You are so full of it. I'll leave this here: Some of your Democrat Pikers.

Bill and Hillary Clinton helped raise more than $1 billion from U.S. companies and industry donors during two decades on the national stage through campaigns, paid speeches and a network of organizations advancing their political and policy goals, The Wall Street Journal found.

 

[Newell Steamer]

TIL Canadians have a Conservative Brain Defect.

And, all of Canada is represented by one raging moron from Kansas.

 

[pcgeek11]

To me these are the points of this list if you cut out the partisan twist.

Oh it also has nothing to do with Canada. Who care what they think. They have their own issues.

Want to guess how I know this has nothing to do with Canadians?

What losers Bill and Hillary are. it took them 2 decades to raise $1 billion and the Kochs are giving nearly that much to whichever repub floats their boat. What chumps they were to actually work two decades for that...

 

[theeedude]

Only in America does a majority of people fall for a top 10 list like this.
