I've been hanging smurfs by nooses outside my Pennsic tent for a decade. Everyone is amused. 

During a rainstorm this Pennsic, I open the tent to see some woman untying them and putting them down in the mud. I asked her WTF she was doing, because she was getting them muddy.

"It's no worse than what you're doing to them."

Well, actually it is, because they AREN'T ACTUAL CREATURES and mud hurts them worse than hanging from a rope.

She actually tried to hinder me from putting them back up.

"It's wrong to do that. Children don't need to see that."

Apparently, she's not aware that the children's archery shoot often features Barneys, Smurfs, etc, to be gleefully riddled with arrows.
I told her I'd been doing it for a decade, and no one, including the event staff had ever had a problem with it.

"It offends me," she said as she stormed off.

I said, "So go buy your own damned smurfs and cut them down."

So, the man expresses an opinion, which many people support.  

I'm gratified to see there weren't many charges of racism.  Apparently, since Biden is white (But works for a black man, who is the actual patient in question), the usual libtard mouthbreathers aren't reminded that everything anyone does agaisnt the great 0 is racist.

However, the "you didn't build that" mouthbreathers are in full swing:

Here's the thing, Charlie:  The police and fire didn't help him start the business.  They may respond if there's a problem later.

If he got a loan, it was almost certainly from a bank, a private entity. He had to negotiate with them, they didn't just give it to him.

This is the problem with you 0bamab0ts.  You're great at bleating out catchphrases, not so great at deductive logic.

Here's a comparison for you:  The world is full of Yugos.  In America, we all have Mustang GTs.  I win a race.  I didn't win because I had a Mustang GT--everyone has one.  I won because I'm a better @#$ing driver.

Liberal response:  It's not fair that I'm better, my taxes should be raised so everyone can have Ferarris instead.  By declining, I'm selfish.

When Zer0 insists people don't create things by themselves, he's looking in a mirror and projecting.

And I'm quite sure you DID write that illogical, pathetic whine by yourSELF, Charlie.

"Liberal" apologists keep insisting "He's correct, you right wing morons are just too stupid to grasp the context!"

Why is an allegedly great leader making speeches that can be taken out of context?

PS: I got the context exactly. It was "Give the government more money."

And telling people they didn't get the context and are therefore stupid is not going to win any points or encourage them to vote for the man.

Go ahead, trot out the platitudes. Tell me I didn't teach myself to read (Correct, I was taught to read by my parents and by a religious school in another country with no US tax dollars). Tell me I didn't teach myself my occupation (Actually, I did). Tell me I use roads (which I pay for with property and excise fuel taxes)(And which means you never get to complain about defense spending, ever, since the Interstates were built for DoD).

In the world of Yugos, everyone in America drives a Mustang GT. If I win the race of life, it's not because I have a Mustang GT. It's because I'm a better @#$ing driver. Buying everyone Ferrari Testa Rossae won't make losers into winners, it will just waste more money. But hey, it's other people's money, right?

Finally, since I'm an immigrant, I can state with a clear conscience that I live in the country I think best and chose as my home. If there's somewhere you'd like better, @Q#$ING MOVE THERE and let the rest of us keep America, and our Constitution, intact.

GFY.
