They relate this or that story of someone in desperate straits asking what they can do. They chuckle when people cite medical emergencies as a reason for those desperate straits. No matter what the reason someone says they need help, those conservatives always say "Stop whining, dumbass. Just go get a job."

My question to those conservative assholes: "Where?"

1. how much you want to bet,
the conservatives screaming get a job are unemployed 45 year olds sponging off their mom?

Hypocrisy and projectionism are the holy dogmas of conservatism.

4. After screaming at their computer about 'getting a job'
They probably call out 'Mom! Bring me a beer and some cheesy-puffs!'

8. We know some personally who are on Medicare, SS, and government pensions
And say they hate Big Government, Evil Taxes, and of course, People who Live on Government Entitlements and Hand-Outs.

(Further, some collect state benefits here in our blue state, while establishing residence in a lower-tax, depressed market red state, to avoid paying in here. And they see no irony in any of this.)

3. I had someone tell me today, "I have a solution for the protesters
on Wallstreet who do not have a job but need to pay back student loans; and the Government will pay them off for them. Join the military, join the National Guard; you will have a job and the student loans paid off." What a moron at best.

10. They would always yell that at me when I was protesting during the Bush years. I always yelled back,
"Get a job? I stay at home with the baby, what more do you want?"

11. They're Pavlovian
Something or someone could be out of sight and out of mind for a period of time. But let that someone or something surface and they can't resist the urge to go right back to what they've been doing for years. Flinging feces like caged monkeys over little more than bait.

They're hilarious, really.

12. Indeed. I found it funny myself.
I was a stay-at-home mom who kept house while Mr. Brickbat brought home the bacon. I provided my kids with enriching, educational activities -- including real-life lessons on the power of protest. :rofl:
