Newt: "I'm Not Rich"
Throw a bunch of desperate and anxious candidates into the crucible of the first primary in the nation, and you will get a stream of whoppers and prevarications. But even though the New Hampshire campaign is not done, we already have a winner in the biggest lie of the week contest. The honors go to Newt Gingrich.
When Gingrich was campaigning in Laconia on Wednesday, a fellow came up to the former House speaker and asked, “Won’t you buy a home in the Lakes Region if elected president?” This was a reference to Mitt Romney’s house in New Hampshire.
Gingrich replied, “No, I can’t afford things like that. I’m not rich.”
And his wife Callista quickly added, “We have one home.”
Not rich? This past summer, Gingrich had to file the financial disclosure form required of presidential candidates. It revealed that he has a net worth of at least $6.7 million and that his income was at least $2.6 million in 2010. That’s about 65 times the income of the average family of four in the United States. That puts him well into the top 1 percent (about $520,000 a year or more) and close to the top 0.1 percent. He, of course, had that $500,000-plus tab at Tiffany’s, and weeks ago was boasting that he pulled in $60,000 a speech. These are the sort of actions that tend to be associated with richness.
If Gingrich does not consider himself wealthy, he’s living in a world far different from that of the bottom 99 percent. This is a negative ad that writes itself.

This is all I see when people try to justify flying the Confederate flag.
It makes me sick thinking I’m about to reblog this but like everyone else, I have the right to state my own opinion.
If you’re going to disrespect the Confederate Flag like this than I and anyone else that agrees can say you’re just a biased fuck nut. Let me ask you this, was the Civil War fought mainly because of slavery? Did they fly this flags saying, fuck niggers, hang em high? Or was it because we fought to stand up for our rights and what we believed in? That’s like me saying that some gang member holding a blue bandana that just went and shot some little kid at the playground makes the blue bandana represent heartless killers and thug ass wanna be black people. To each it’s own, you see the Confederate Flag as a sign of racism and hate when it really is just a flag that some people may use for racism and hate, but a majority of us see it as a historical figure that many people gave up their lives for what they believed it.

If you’re going to disrespect the swastika like this than I and anyone else that agrees can say you’re just a biased fuck nut. Let me ask you this, was World War two fought mainly because of the holocaust? Did they fly this flags saying, kill jews, gas em all? Or was it because we fought to stand up for our rights and what we believed in?

LOL did some ignorant fuck actually say you ‘disrespected’ the confederate flag? all it does is represent disrespect for an entire race of people.
