Beauty is skin deep, but stupid goes all the way to the bone…..and is forever…
In case you are new to the site…my anal-ocities are anal statements made by people in the “Know”……dumbass knows no bounds……it hits all parties, all races, all….you get the idea…
This one is from one of my favs….a man that cannot go a week without saying something stupid….Mr. Glenn beck…..
Beck’s newest rant is all about the 2010 Census……thanx to thinkprogress.org…..
He took particular issue with a question asking for the respondent’s race.
BECK: Why were they asking the race question, you said when, in 1790? … Right, they want to know, do you count as three-fifths? Do you count at all? So, you have to know how many slaves did you have? People find that offensive today because the idea was, if we’re going to count, we want to know how many are here for services etc. etc. and slaves would get less. Well that’s not right. One. One. ‘I’m not three-fifths, I’m one. Whites are not worth than me.’ Now reverse it, why are they asking this question today?
So you will get more dollars if you are a minority. So you are worth more as a monitory. Well there is no difference. The reason you don’t answer the race question is because one, everyone counts as one. All men are created equal. If you were offended back in 1790 about slavery and that everyone should count the same, do not answer the race question. How dare you. How dare you. At least in 1790, they were doing it to slow the South down on slavery. To try to stop it as much as they can. Today they are asking the race question to try to increase slavery. Your dependence on the master in Washington. No way, don’t answer that question.
This guy always makes the most outlandish statements and yet he is still on the air and on a network that claims to be “fair and balance”……but to say that the census will return the detestable practice of slavery is far beyond an anal statement and approaches mental illness…..but yet his moronic rants seem to play well with low information people…….btw, that means STUPID!
For once I don’t really agree with you – for the following reasons…
In general I agree with you about Glenn Beck and his logic (in so far as it exists at all) is mostly muddled at best, BUT…
There can be NO reason for asking the race question at all unless it is for reasons that are unfair to someone or group. Beck, for once, is right – one IS one and that should be the end of it. Why he needed so much long-winded additional shit to say that, I don’t know, but he apparently did.
One further point, we ARE most of us slaves – economic slaves and deliberately kept that way by those who would control us since debt is their principal tool for doing so – but what the race question has to do with that I don’t know…
However, they still shouldn’t in my opinion ask such a question – because it IS I believe undoubtedly for nefarious and devious reasons!
After reading the census, I have decided that it is a stat thingy……to be used politically in campaigns….if Washington is 85% minorities then the campaign is adjusted to reflect the population……I do not think that it is a “new” form of slavery….and yes…we are “wage slaves”…..few want to admit it but none the less we are a form of slave….like it or not….
Exactly! Yes they want the information to produce stats that they can twist to show this, that, or any other f*cking lie they want – so it SHOULDN’T be included! GB (funny how so many useless assholes have those initials) is right, in a way, though I’m pretty sure it’s entirely by accident and for completely the wrong reasons.
No, I don’t think it’s a NEW form of slavery – just a modified version of the old ones!
I know you are right for slavery by any other name is still a f*cking slave…….but I thought Lincoln freed us of that burden….wrong!……he freed us from phyiscal bondage, not from a slavery of our own making….
Exactly – and THAT’S the real problem!
The problem I see is if man is unaware of his slavery then how will he ever break free from it?
