Caution:  This article contains extensive lies, exaggerations, vulgarities and the standard stuff that Tea Republicans use to distort the truth! Read at your own peril - For Adults Only!

As a certified LL-LL, ("Lazy Left - Leaning Liberal"), I have included an expanded explanation of the LL-LL abbreviation and spelled it out, herein, within, this parenthetical device, for the benefit of the dimly light, dull, conservative tin foil wrapped heads that comprise much of the majority of the infamous Fox TV creation, The Tea Republican-Cons, currently denigrating Congress, and, their lower functioning, mentally unstable, inbred Twin, The Holier Than Thou, Born Again/Evangelical Christians, too, caught up in the ecstasy of their religious conversion to comprehend it otherwise.

I re-iterate, herein, again: "LL-LL" is the abbreviation for "Lazy Left Leaning Liberal".  Please note that special tutors are available on-line to assist the Brain Dead, Brain Washed Religious Extremists with comprehension assistance, conversion kits, and, a free complimentary shredder for your Republican membership card, at no additional cost.

By continuing to read this political tome, you agree, not to share its contents with Conservatives, Tea Republican Patriots or the Lost Remnants of the once great party of Republicans, now, reduced to a sad lot of loud racists, religious fanatics and Neo-Cons.  The goal of these groups is to return America to its "Original Constitution", the one that James Madison wrote with a crayola, not the one ratified by the Conventions of nine of the original 13 states.  That Constitution, intently and falsely included the the insertion of the anti-christian section, known as the Bill of Rights or Amendments, which unfortunately were added to the Original Constitution which was composed of VII Articles.

Thomas Jefferson, the Libertine, while stationed in Paris, and, therein, exposed to the "sinful, wicked life styles" of the French people, (that persists to this day), forced the diminutive, 5' 4", James Madison to sucker the infant Congress into ratifying Jefferson's suggested Bill of Rights as "Amendments To The United State Constitution" as their first course of action, before Congress knew what it was doing, and, thereby, setting this once great Christian nation on a course of self destruction that would take nearly 200 years to achieve. And, may only be achieved in 2012 with the re-election of President Barrack Husein Obama and his Muslim/Socialist Coalition of Free-Loaders. 

Presently, there is only one man that stand in opposition to the inevitable, Congressman Ron Paul, know by Washington insiders, as "Doctor Ding-A-Ling", he is currently campaigning on issues through a veiled format promoting "property rights, contract rights and a return of much of the governing powers to the individual states," which is the main plank in a plank less plank of Tea Republican ideas. The all consuming center plank is the unrelenting desire to return to America to the "Original Constitution".

"America has strayed too far away from our Founding Fathers intent", Dr. Ding-A-Ling Ron Paul states, while mesmerizing his audience with the reversed clarity of his soggy, flat, porous mind.

Unfortunately, for his adherents, the heavily medicated, senile senior statesman has little change of advancing his agenda since his core group is composed of mostly unemployed "pot heads", excited by the goofy doctors proposal to "legalize marijuana"!  Paul's growing support base is titillated by his call for a complete pull out of the U.N., and, his pledge that, if elected, he will immediately return America to the foreign policy of George Washington, circa, 1789.

Dr. Paul's ever growing legion of "potheads" are voracious supporters, but, stoned most of the time and can not be counted on to show up at the right polling places on the right day or even within the right decade. 

Therefore, I have composed this easy to follow Guide Book for disappointed Tea Republicans, Non-Rapture Born Again-ers who missed the "End of Times" train and are forced to hang around a bit longer until Pastor Terry of the Westboro Baptist Church tell them it is "time to go."

Book of Rules, Guides, and Suggestion For Living a Happy, Worry Free, Life of a Lazy Liberal:

Never Go To Work - Unless, you work in a Brothel; then, by all means, one must do their duty; the nation depends on you.

Resist the Urge to Get Out of Bed Prior to Noon.  Rising earlier may cause blood to rush to the brain and result in migraines, a vague sense of ennui, feelings of guilt, or, an uncontrollable urge to bathe. Resist it at all cost!  If you are going to the Occupy This! Mother @!$%#er! rallies anywhere in the Continental USA, one does not want to stand out!

Load Up on all the Available Government "Freebies", i.e.,  Free Government Cheese, free fleas, bed bugs galore, free TV while incarcerated, use of "free" Pel (Education) Grants while locked up; "free" room and board available in most public parks and a ton of "free" Food Stamps, courtesy of the soon to be re-elected "Food Stamp President", who social engineers have been conspiring to get elected even before he was conceived in the back seat of a bus in Kenya.

If You Don't Smoke - Start.

Stop Practicing Safe Sex and Swap it for "Free Sex."

In my research, I have come across thousand of miscreants, misfits and the mentally aberrant who have shared their rules and guidelines with me for "a long, cheap, happy life free of the constraints of worry or work".  Please continue to share your pearls of wisdom with us by making unnecessary comments in the space reserved for "comments" at the end of this instructional tome or by simply hollering them out loud at public gatherings.

This is Wintrope Merrideth, The III, and I approved of this message, sort of, but, I swear that I don't have a clue what it means.

This article made me decide that Dr. Ding-A-Ling Paul (AKA Yosemite Sam) is an unreconstructed C.S.A. politician who has mysteriously been brought out of the fog of the past to break up the Union again. Well, I say, toss him back, and try for Daffy Duck or Popeye, either of whom would be better suited to run for President. One is certifiably insane, greedy, monomaniacal, and delusional, and the other has a tremendous set of forearms, apparently brought on by a huge, and I do mean huge, fetish about canned spinach. In other words, both would fit right in with the current crop of upstanding, right-leaning, Republican contenders.

@WintropeMerrideth The III: Hello there, friend.

But, conservatives and information is an oxymoron. (No pun intended)

I personally believe that true conservatism does not, and has not existed, since the implementation of SSE. Conservatism has been swallowed by the Wealth Concentrators. Conservatism is now a tool for disparagement against social liberty and equality.

The odd thing is that those who have lost the most, the middle and working class schmucks, are supporting the Party of International Corporation, Big Business and Exploitation of workers for more obscene profits for top management- and, these Jerk Wads can't get it!

It like when a Con-Artist fleeces someone once, they often come back and get them a second or third time before their friends finally "wise" them up. Apparently, Tea Republicans, Republicans and Conservatives don't have any "Friends" - the poor bastards!

The Republican Party has become a miserable, misogynistic, hate mongrel citadel for Religious Dump Trucks, slick self-serving politicians and the Uber Rich.

Well (quoting from the article) as an independent that agrees with some issues supported by those you identify as the

dimly light, dull, conservative tin foil wrapped heads

I find that I did not find the article

to be live changing?

I live in a small rural village, where Democrats and Republicans (and independents) argue and scream about political issues and (are you ready for it) remain friends and civil in the process. I haven't seen many tin foil hats and not even Democrats are lazy in a farming community.

I found some very interesting points about what the constitution is and is not (and why) and how that is translating into modern political issues, but it was as struggle to find those points covered, as they were, with rhetoric and vitriolic exaggeration.

But overall the article was funny, so on a scale of 1 to 5, you get 2 1/2 thumbs up!

Oh by the way, I forward all political humor (good and bad) that I receive to a circle of buddies (Democrats and Republicans) so a few more conservatives will probably get some laughs later today.

Robert of O-hi-o: You may want to forward your comments regarding the "Fair and Balance" content of this above article to Newt Gingrich, a Family Values Guy, running as a Conservative Republican nominee for President on the United States of America.

Newt recently was quoted as suggesting that "black kids be hire as school janitors" so that they might learn to work. Gingrich further explained that "they don't know how to work because they had no one in their family that did . . . they had no role model." He has stated at poking fun fund raisers, that "Liberals are lazy left leaning" worthless jerks that don't know how to work.

Such kind and judicious comments to emanate from the lips of a Republican Conservative, Catholic, "Family Values" candidate is deeply disturbing!

This three times married, twice divorced, serial adulterer was lionized by Christian Republicans, (those tolerant folks from South Carolina", who called out in a public meeting to "string him up", meaning, of course, the President.

Were you offended then, Robert of Ohio? Or do you only have thin skin when it come to independents, Conservatives and Tea Republican Patriots?

Or, when Conservative Republican Tea Party folks make comments such as, "I would never vote to put that ape back in the White House," did you cringe?

Were, Robert of Ohio, was your righteous indignation when the Reverend Graham stated that the President "isn't a Christian", he might be a Muslim.

Or, when Conservatives, unable to find fault with the President started the "birthers movement", like ravenous white dogs, accused the President, his grand parent and his mother of lying about the location of his birth.

When the near illiterate Neo-Cons, hopped up on twisted Conservative Conspiracy theories, alleged that the President is a closet "Socialist", unfit for public office and a front for a malevolent world wide Muslim take over of America, did your "shackles" raises at this offense?

Or, brother Robert of Ohio, is it it just when the scales are ripped off the eyes of the Fake Christians and their Evangelical Nitwits Republican Racists that your sense of the "Fair and Balanced" turns to incensed?

I give you a 2 and 1/2 for Fair & Balance Incense.

Been working all day and too tired to fight

Your response has ZERO, ZIP, NADA NOTHING to do with the comments I made.

I decry and condemn incivility, lack of respect and denigrating speech and actions by all politicians (and people) regardless of political inclination.

I am not a supporter of Mr Gingrich and agree that he and his supporters quite often engage their mouths without the benefit of turning on their minds first.

I believe that Pres Obama is an American and a CChristian because he said he is and there is really no reason for him to lie about either and I would consider him as leaning towards European Social Democracy than socialism. I am not a political supporter of the President, but have respect an admiration for the accomplishments he has realized in his life.

I never mentioned "fair and balanced", but you seem obsessed with the phrase, perhaps you have watched a little too much Fox News in the past few days and shouldtake a break and watch PBS for a change.

I give you a ZERO for trying to create an opinion and position for me so that you can argue with it and you completely and totally failed.

Take care.

European Social Democracy has nothing whatsoever to do with where the president was born except that it is a convenient deflection for you to avoid the point.

The approach to health care, education, unemployment insurance is all very European Social Democracy in nature

You can choose not to discuss that which you may no understand, but please do not try to deflect with meaningless drivel about where the president was born or anything else.

So, Robert of Ohio, was FDR a European Social Democrat with his proposals to turn a sinking American economy about; an economy that had been driven into the reefs by Republican policies of small government and deregulation of investors that led to the same greedy collapse we under went with the reign of stupidity of George W. Bush, the dumbest man to ever steal an election.

By this vague, none definable label, "European Social Democracy," would your definition toss TR into that pile of implied "inferior economic systems".

Or, Woodrow Wilson attempt to form the "League of Nation", would he be dismissed as too European Social Democratic?

Please, I beg you, define this so called, "European Social Democracy," or explain what sets it apart from our?

Or, it it merely a label to hide behind and hurled arrows at those who are busy every day working on behalf of the country? Those in an elected position that the majority of the people elected them to represent their concerns.

Tea Republicans, Fox TV, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh all use "made up labels" to libel, mislead and castigate those that they disagree with.

A good question, actually FDR was in the midst of his trial and tribulations as our leader, before social democracy in Europe as we now know it had exactly come into play; reconstruction and rebuilding of economies after the war was the focus them (and we were much involved in that process).

I never said that the system was inferior or superior, again you are creating a point that I never made in order to argue with it. Social democracy seems to be working in some countries and not in others as you look at Germany and France and Scandinavia on the upside and Greece, Portugal, Italy et al on the downside.

Woodrow Wilson had his own issues and was president before social democracy had really taken hold in Europe (after WWII)

You keep trying to make points to me that you cn argue with - I did not hurl arrows at anyone. This conversation started when I said Pres Obama was more a European Social Democrat than he was a Socialist as others have called him (not I by the way).

I will have to rely on your expertise on Fox News and Rush as I watch and listen to neither, but you seem to know a lot about both so I will assume you do.

Greg: "Bill O'Lielly", I dig that. It says it all!

Thanks, man, for your post. I always enjoy hearing from you. Greg, are you aware that the President is "leaning towards a European Socialism" rather than a Muslim Jihad-st or a non-American born in Africa or a Homosexual, or a Closet Muslim, or just lazy. None of that applies now because it was all just made up lies and BS.

The new "buzz phrase" for not supporting the first black President in the history of America is not because he is Black and most of America is not; no it's because he leans toward a European Socialism".

Does that mean that because he is left handed, he is, therefore a Left Leaning Socialist? And, because he graduated from Harvard Law School and had the top honor of managing the Law Review, speaks Ebonics, born in Hawaii, lived in the Mid-west, and traveled to Africa that he is a European?

Of, course, Greg, this is not a "pejorative" description because Tea Republicans are always "Fair and Balanced", like their Gods at Fox TV Nut-work News-Turning Journalism Into Junk Right Wing Politics and Hate Speech For Profit.

But, of course, I am a nut, bombastic, prejudice Left Leaning Liberal and therefore, not a patriot, regardless of my service in Vietnam.

Thank you, Robert of Ohio. I stand rebuked!

However, you refer to the President of the United States of America,

as leaning towards European Social Democracy than socialism.

European Socialists? If that isn't a" back handed, unmitigated vulgar put down", I don't know what is!

How do you define a "European Socialist?"

I am certain, that in this Tea Republican Party dominated nonsensical make it up and one goes along political environment that that phrase means that all things associated with European is Socialism.

Have you ever visited these countries that you classify as Socialistic. Socialism is "Verboten" to Tea Republican Patriots, who have read the Constitution once, and consider themselves to understand it better than a Constitutional Lawyer, Senator and President of the United State, because, they are what? White?

You accusation that the President is a "leaning European Socialist" is with out merit, support, nor is it based in fact. It is purely fiction, fiction written by some political hack who has probably never been to Europe or is knowledgeable of Socialist.

Europe is not homogeneous unit of Socialism. It political views varies considerably from Germany to England to Spain to Italy to Denmark. You blanket insinuation that the President of the United State is a "Socialist" of any stripe is nothing short of an of an egregious, unsupported slander, not supported by reality, facts, or commonsense.

It is a "veiled" damning phrase with misleading intent.

I am always amazed that those rational people who use this contemptible practice are always accusing others

This is what irritates me, Roberto'st of Ohio, is that those vilifying the President with Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck made up "Junk Political Pigeon Holing" of those serving their nation daily to guide it through one of the worst financial crisis since the "Great Depression"

Robert of Ohio: Checked out Wikipedia, here is what it said:

The page "European Social Democracy" does not exist. You can ask for it to be created,

Additionally, it goes into great length to explains what "Socialism" is, and defines "social democracy" as a Welfare government.

Are we to believe that because America has safety nets. e.g., social security, medicare and subsidies for large businesses that we are, therefore, a Welfare Government?

And, if so, who or what brought this upon America? Obama in 3.5 years in office. Man, he must be the new Anti-Christ to do that in so few years.

Really, Robert, fake labels are not helpful. I give you a Minus 6. That 6 points below ZERO!

So WIKIPEDIA is your source of information -- that explains a lot..

Definition of SOCIAL DEMOCRACY

1: a political movement advocating a gradual and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism by democratic means

2: a democratic welfare state that incorporates both capitalist and socialist practices

Additionally, if you just type social democracy into GOOGLE you will get multiple links that you can check out and get information

You can learn a lot about social democracy in Europe from this link (if you want to)

Greg: Do you have any extra "Free" Government Cheese. I ran out and since I can't work, don't know how to work, and, exist, like the parasite that I am, for the day America become a WELFARE GOVERNMENT, WHERE ONLY Conservatives Work and the rest of us, lay about "idle", eating all the "free" government cheese we want in our European Social Democracy paradise, I can't not get off my fat lazy ass to even fill out my re-order form so I am once again reduced to begging from skinny people.

OK, it is therefore agreed that we disagree with all things that we agree upon. May I have a second?

Greg: OK, I see by your post that you clowns are unwilling to crown me as a serious political pundit and that you cannot get past by prison record.

Well, Hell, lot of great political philosophers have spent time in the "slammer": Adolf Hitler (my favorite); Karl Mark (the 5Th Brother, who was kicked out of the Marx Brothers because he wouldn't shut up, always lecturing the audiences and putting them to sleep); Charlie Manson, (a misunderstood political thinker); and, of course, as any amateur historian knows,Thomas Paine died in prison in Paris Richard Nixon was on his way to prison, when he resigned from office and flew off in a USA helicopter.

I, I just want to be taken seriously, then, dipped in chocolate and licked to death by half naked women with gigantic Ta Tas. Is that so wrong?

I, personally am no pundit, socially or politically. The whole thing, to me, is a grand joke..a puff of smoke. To read about folks arguing about ideologies and political sides makes me wish for a mud hut in Tahiti.
