Strength: 2, Charisma -5, Wisdom: infinitesimal

Hey, so what’s the deal with right-wingers, huh? They’re always going on about how sacred PRIVATE PROPERTY is, how it’s all IMMORAL for anyone to benefit from SOMEBODY ELSE’S “hard work,” am I right? And then you hear about something like THIS genius who goes and RIPS OFF an image from a VIDEO GAME so he can turn it into a picture of Dead Andrew Breitbart as an avenging angel! I guess these guys don’t mind a little REDISTRIBUTION as long as THEY’RE the one’s doin’ it and not the GOVERNMENT, know what I mean?

So, yes, it turns out: they didn’t build that.

What’s up with Republicans and their use of artists’ work without permission?  Off the top of my head I can name instances where this has happened… Tom Petty, Heart, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Talking Heads.

It’s really sad when all you’re left with is Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

    Whether Paul would have won the nomination, or not, it immaterial. It is the process and the party “leadership” that is thoroughly corrupt.
