The Wisdom of Rick Joyner, Fucking Idiot.


 

WISDOM IN THREE PARTS:

Part I:

A. Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men.
B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.
C. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.

In three generations, there will be no more Democrats.

Part II:
10 Poorest Cities in America (How did it happen?)
City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level

1. Detroit, MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo, NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland, OH 27.0%
5. Miami, FL 26.9%
5. St. Louis, MO 26.8%
7. El Paso, TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1%
10. Newark, NJ 24.2%

What do these top ten cities (over 250,000 pop.) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI – (1st on poverty rate list) hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1961

Buffalo, NY – (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954

Cincinnati, OH – (3rd) not since 1984

Cleveland, OH – (4th) not since 1989

Miami, FL – (5th) has never had a Republican mayor

St. Louis, MO – (6th) not since 1949

El Paso, TX – (7th) has never had a Republican mayor

Milwaukee, WI – (8th) not since 1908

Philadelphia, PA – (9th) not since 1952

Newark, NJ – (10th) not since 1907

Einstein once said, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats… yet they are still POOR.

Part III:

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
~Abraham Lincoln

“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a much
closer look at the American Indian.”
~Henry Ford

Okay, all this idiocy can be distilled right down to: kill off all political parties except for conservative republican, always support the rich, and if you’re poor, go fuck yourself, because that’s your fault, natch. I’ll just briefly note that a good many white people on the poor side of life voted for the Tiny Tyrant, and many of them are now crying in their beer, because he hasn’t done one thing for them. At least the ones bright enough to figure out what a scam it all is. That last quote by Ford is pernicious, to say the least. After a partially successful genocide, and massive theft, no, the government didn’t do much for Indians, because they were busy stealing every fucking thing they could, and really didn’t want those inconvenient leftovers getting in the way. This would be Joyner’s way of expressing that ol’ white supremacy: white is might is right, yessir.

Let’s take a brief look at what some of those brilliant republicans have been saying about all us peons:

Paul Ryan says people just don’t want insurance, that’s all.  All those millions who would lose healthcare, ah, that’s their choice.

The Regime has threatened the insurance of low income people if Trumpcare isn’t passed, but hey, they care about you, they really do!

Sen. Ron Johnson explained how people with pre-existing conditions don’t deserve health coverage, because it’s like crashing a car.

Rep. Pete Olsen was laughing over prenatal and maternity care, pointing out that since people with those nifty X chromosomes didn’t need that shit, why should they pay for it?

Now, the vote on Trumpcare has been canceled. (Yay!) Don’t get over excited though, because this is far from over, and McConnell will not give up easily, nor will Ryan, Trump, or all the other empty bags of flesh who are utterly devoid of empathy.

Yes, I’m sure we are all so darn impressed with how republicans care for people, especially those pesky poor people. Rick Joyner’s “wisdom” can be found here.

Comments

  1. What a Maroon, living up to the 'nym says

    Einstein never said that.

    Lincoln never said that.

    And Ford probably never said that.

    Idiots love their fake quotes.

  2. cartomancer says

    It works better if you stop reading after line 5.

    Well, apart from the overly binary model of gender suggested by lines 3 and 4 and the incorrect use of “baby” rather than “foetus” or “clump of cells” in line 5. And the suggestion that there’s going to be any wisdom in the second and third parts denoted by lines 1 and 2.

    I liked the spaces though. Nothing to criticise about those. In fact it would have been much better if it were all spaces.

  3. What a Maroon, living up to the 'nym says

    And just for kicks, the 10 cities with the lowest poverty rates and the last time they had a gop mayor:

    10. Lancaster, PA: 2006
    9. Boston, MA: 1930
    8. Portland, ME: 2001
    7. Ogden, UT: can’t figure this out (I can’t even find the party of the current mayor)
    6. Hartford, CT: 1971
    5. Des Moines, IA: 1997
    4. Bridgeport, CT: 1992
    3. Poughkeepsie, NY: current
    2. Honolulu, HI: 1994
    1. Washington, DC: 1910 (note that until 1975 the mayor or its equivalent was appointed by the President)

  4. What a Maroon, living up to the 'nym says

    The alleged Ford quote is all over the internet, but with no source. There isn’t much debunking of it either, but I found this.

  5. What a Maroon, living up to the 'nym says

    One last thing: while researching that quote, I stumbled across this.

    So not only is Joyner an idiot, he’s also a plagiarist.

    Why am I not surprised?

    Why am I not surprised?

    But, but, it’s plagiarizing for Jesus!

  7. Curious Digressions says

    Oh Gor! I’m mopping soda off the monitor from the Ford quote.

    Here, I fixed it:
    You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich blocking the greedy.
    You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong discouraging predation.
    You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift providing opportunity.
    You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down lifting the wages (duh).
    You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred reducing disparity.
    You cannot build character and courage. [People build that for themselves through] by taking away people’s initiative and independence community.
    You cannot help people communities permanently by doing for them distributing resources so that they can , what they could and should do for themselves.

  8. Raucous Indignation says

    Yeah, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are just dystopian hell holes. Oh whatever will we do.

  9. lumipuna says

    Give a poor man a rich man’s corpse, and he will be fed for a week. Give the poor man some of the rich person’s income and he will blamed for sabotaging the economy for the rest of his life.

  10. rq says

    Give a poor man a rich man’s corpse, and he will be fed for a week.

    Given the resourcefulness of most people living in situations of limited resources, I think you underestimate the poor man’s ability to make that corpse stretch. But I do see your point. :)

  11. timberwoof says

    Joyner’s Social Dawrinism demonstrates that he’s an idiot. I wonder what fraction of the population he thinks are gay. It’s probably somewhere between so few that it doesn’t matter whether our civil rights are upheld (as claimed by Coloradans for Family values in the early ’90s) or so many that enforcing our civil rights is an intolerable burden on the government’s finances (as claimed by Coloradans for Family values in the early ’90s). He must think that huge numbers of Democrats are gay and that all nongay Democrats are celibate or have abortions. So I wonder why he and his Rethuglicans don’t just out-vote us in one swell foop.

    I’d like for Joyner to explain why the best economic incentives for rich people are tax breaks and the promise of more prosperity while the best economic incentives for poor people are greater expenses and the threat of increased poverty.

    But Joyner’s an idiot and doesn’t bother to think through his ideology.
