Putting a Target On Your Foot and Pulling the Trigger
It’s a good thing for you people that I’m fluent in weirdo so I can translate for the Teabaggers.
So, there’s this teabagger who has an idea: to get President Obama to stop “declaring war” on small businesses, small business owners should sign a pledge to stop hiring people.
No, seriously.
Her name is Melissa Brookstone and if somebody has a dipstick handy, we need to check her estrogen level. I think she’s about a quart low.
Brookstone’s main point is that Obama and the “Democrat-controlled Senate” are a bunch of traitors who have joined up with Occupy Wall Street/a global socialist movement and various unnamed Hollywood celebrities to achieve the redistribution of wealth …
So she’s asking small business people, you know, the JOB CREATORS (yes, I am hollering!), to quit creating jobs just to get even with President Obama. But, they should still get their tax breaks, you know.
Here’s her tersely worded pledge.
I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.
I hereby declare that my job creation potential is now ceased.
“I’m on strike!”
Teabagger: (noun) A person willing to let millions of Americans go without jobs in order to take one man’s job.
Little story. I was at the Pete Olson townhall and some Teabagger woman came up to me sneering about Obama this and Obama that.
Me: Excuse me, but that’s President Obama.
Teabagger: I refuse to call him that until he does something to earn my respect.
Me: But, ma’am, no matter how hard he tries, he cannot turn himself white for you.
Teabagger: Huh?
Thanks to Karen for the heads-up.
