Clarence is absolutely right. Every god damn last thing done by the CIA and the military is done for the benefit of America.

Or in the case of Guatemala, for the benefit of United Fruit Company.

Making fruit cheaper in the United States. The interests of the USA and the UFC were one and the same.

That isn't so much factually inaccurate as morally suspect in implication, to be fair.

The most ridiculous thing with this pic is how it implies that the standard teabagger actually reads Adam Smith.

Tbh the idea that your standard Occupy type has read any Marx (beyond a couple of sentences that everyone knows) isn't much dafter.

Unlike slackers who are content to live in their parents' basement well into their 20s (30s?), most of America is not satisfied with mediocrity, especially after the promises of "hope" and "change" in 2008. This environment is not conducive to winning re-election. It is why Obama is in trouble unless something positive happens in the foreign policy realm.

Something about calling oneself "most humble" just got me...

As an econ student, I take particular offense to this one:

Isn't it time that we put someone who is an expert in economics in the Oval Office? 


Yes, and that's why Mitt's running.

The proper American response is:  You've got a lot to be humble about.  Tongue

That's a response I would have appreciated and probably would have put in one of these threads.

They does not recognize an irony unless you say "penis" in the sentence.

What. The. F**k...

Hitler was bad, but he focused on other countries, and his doucheness was quarantined because of his need to focus on a multi-theatre world war.

Thank you based Inks.

Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And, but for the interference with his arrangement, there would be no cause for such marriage. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.

This is one of the most perfect illustrations of Poe's Law I've ever seen, so it's going here and in the Institute to cover all (read: both) bases.

Use of the (nonsensical) word 'based' in sentences of that construction is a meme. I'm honestly not sure of its provenance.
