Do the wingnuts also say that Blackwater employees are unemployed? (4.00 / 1)

Do they also say that MacDonald Douglas employees are looking for work? They make their money from government contracts for military goods. So its just welfare really? All of them need to get a real job?

Is it just people working in the parks protecting the environment that are unemployed, or are the Police unemployed too in their model?

The Funny Thing (4.00 / 1)

The funny thing is the GOP has instituted their own version of the New Deal, it's called the War on Terror, it puts thousands of Americans to work fighting, intruding into our privacy, and being paranoid. Law enforcement officials in the middle of nowhere are buying tanks, small towns away from major cities have terror alerts, national guard soldiers are deployed overseas, the list goes on. Anything to prevent people from having to think about the mechinations of this system is good for the GOP.

The Big Lie (4.00 / 2)

There's a certain kind of lie that people will believe eagerly just because it's got a certain counterintuitive ring.

The best example of this I can think of isn't even political; just a run-of-the-mill urban legend. Many people believe that glass is a liquid. In reality, it's really a solid, unless it's fresh out of a glass furnace or a volcano, but people will swear up and down the street that no, glass is really a liquid. It's extremely hard to dissuade them of that notion. There will probably be people in this thread who will insist it's a liquid in response to this post (look at the wavy old windows!)

They believe the lie about the New Deal because it's contrary to common sense and what we all learned in history class. They'll believe the lie that a Prius causes more global warming than a Hummer, and the various other counterintuitive lies manufactured by the global warming deniers, creationists, 9/11 truthers, etc.
