I would sooner have my nose twisted off my face than retire in Arizona, mostly because the thought of spending what’s left of my life surrounded by smug white people in golf clothes, spouting teabagger philosophy, is more than I can bear. Yes, I know there are some good people in the state, but I kinda suspect people like the state schools superintendent are in the majority:
Huppenthal’s comments included calling people who receive public assistance “lazy pigs” and he went on to put the blame of the Great Depression solely on the shoulders of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He also claimed that the president wrote in his memoir that “he was born in Kenya!!!”
Under the name Falcon9, he wrote, “We now know that (Franklin D. Roosevelt) was almost completely responsible for the great depression. Only in liberal mythology did FDR ‘save’ the nation. … Worse yet, Roosevelt’s disastrous economic policies drug down the whole world and directly led to the rise of a no-name hack named Adolph Hitler who was going nowhere until Germany’s economy went into the tank.”
According to AZFamily, Falcon9 wrote on Blog for Arizona that “successful small businessmen/job creators are being taxed to death.”
The post continued: “Meanwhile, Obama is rewarding the lazy pigs with food stamps (44 million people), air-conditioning, free health care, flat-screen TV’s (typical of ‘poor’ families).” (Parentheses were in the original post.)
what a maroon!
“… Roosevelt’s disastrous economic policies drug down the whole world…”
Clearly a trained professional with advanced degrees in both economics and the English language.
@ Tracey: Nice, but I thought it was “moran.” I’m guessing he might take serious exception to this: MAROON. 1. capitalized: a fugitive black slave of the West Indies and Guiana in the 17th and 18th centuries; also: a descendant of such a slave
On the other hand, he may have been drugged when he made this statement.
Arizona, the state with the worst VA health care for veterans in the country. Arizona, the state that owns John McCain as its senator. And now a word about the Republicans and the IRS. The goal of the Republican Party (1%) in the IRS scandal is to completely eliminate the IRS and with it the federal income tax system. That’s what the IRS scandal is all about. Certainly John McCain is on board with that. If for no other reason then to draw attention away from the fact that the VA in his own state is the worst in the USA. How ironic.
If they were being taxed to death, successful small businessMEN (natch) and job creators wouldn’t be so successful would they?
Nevermind the lowest tax rates on wealth in the country’s history (Gilded Age) directly preceeded the Great Depression.
Clearly the man is a history and economics genius.
Is it just me – or do these guys always look kinda stupid, too?
