Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Just consider this to be constructive criticism aimed at idiots who are too dumb to ever take it.

The Prop 8 mob in California: How bizarre is it to see gangs of angry, atheistic, liberal homosexuals in California -- who seem to spend 98% of their free time lecturing everybody else in America about tolerance -- invading churches and getting ordinary people fired for daring to disagree with them? If Christians had been getting the Prop 8 punks fired, we'd have to endure 20 years of Oscar winning movies about the oppression gays in California suffered for their beliefs.

PS: Stop acting like perverts in those public parades, you weirdos.

Celebrities who want to be political: If people really cared about the political opinions of celebrities, next week's Meet the Press would feature Sean Penn, Kanye West, and Ben Affleck.

The "Mac Guy:" Hey, look at me, I'm so trendy and hip! Not like the guy we have representing PCs, who looks like Mitch McConnell. Enjoy my faux cool vibe -- it'll make you feel like you have a happening friend and then you'll buy a Mac!

Reality TV: It seemed harmless enough when the Real World debuted, but once the TV execs figured out it was easier and cheaper to put semi-famous morons on the tube instead of actually doing something creative, these shows were suddenly everywhere. Over time, the producers had to dig deeper and deeper for "talent" -- and I use that word very loosely. Now, "reality TV" means shows like Real Chance Of Love and Charm School that feature "real people" who would annoy the living hell out of you if you had to be around them for five minutes. Isn't that why the public is watching TV in the first place -- so they can get away from people like that?

Spammers, telemarketers, and junk mailers: They make a living stealing other people's time and they usually peddle garbage. Everybody who works as a spammer, junk mailer, or telemarketer should have their names put on the lists of all the other spammers, junk mailers, and telemarketers in the country so they can get a taste of what they do to everyone else.

Unions: There's something to be said for workers banding together to improve their lot in life, but there's nothing to be said for riding entire companies into the ground because of your out-of-control greed.

The Senate GOP: At least eighty percent of them don't believe in anything other than getting re-elected and they seem to have a distinct distaste for most of the people who sent them to Washington. How we ended up with such a sorry collection of puffed up, vertebrae-free jackanapes representing the Right, I'll never know.

The people in charge of making war movies in Hollywood: During World War II, Hollywood cranked out pro-war films left and right. But, the only notable pro-war movie that came out in the last eight years was Team America: World Police -- which featured puppets!

Wait, wait -- to be fair, Hollywood did also make Valkyrie, a movie about the heroism of German soldiers trying to stop Hitler. If only there were any heroic soldiers like that around today, ones that the American people could better relate to, for Hollywood to make movies about.

Barack Obama: Don't get me started. There just isn't enough time in the day.

The King: Burger King's mascot is creepy and it's slightly disturbing that he's associated with food products. That's exactly whom you want preparing your food, isn't it? An eerie guy in a mask who never speaks?

The airlines: Security is a hassle, customer service is mediocre, they're too careless with luggage, it takes too long to get through an airport, and flying is too expensive. No wonder people are less excited about getting on an airplane than getting a root canal.

Lawyers: America's legal profession is over run with amoral, ambulance-chasing shysters who have nothing better to do than to try to make millions of dollars looting productive people and companies.

"Oh, but John, you wouldn't say something like that if you needed a lawyer right now!"

Should they be thanked for setting up that kind of system? It's like a dog being forced to hire a tick to defend itself from the other ticks on its back trying to suck its blood.

Global Warming Nuts: Just because you shout "science" a dozen times and have managed to politically intimidate a large percentage of the scientific world that disagrees with you into silence, doesn't mean you have the slightest idea what you're talking about.

America's newspapers: Never has there been a group of people more dishonest about their biases, more contemptuous of their audience, and more falsely convinced of their own irreplaceability than America's newspapermen. Meanwhile, the whole industry is dying a slow death and their primary reaction has been to wonder why no one seems very upset about their demise.

Sean Penn
Sean Penn wrote a article for "The Nation" on his interviews with Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro. Read sip its of his lowlights at, http://stopthepresses2.blogspot.com/2009/01/sean-penn-pens -article.html

Burger King
Some years ago there was a beer company that fired its advertising agency, and then ran one more ad campaign the agency produced. The campaign, predictably, was a disaster.
Has Burger King done the same thing? If not, they should fire their advertising agency and run no more of their commercials.

On the good side however,
at least we have an, as yet to be determined, number of years living under the rule of sen. reid and speaker pelosi to look forward to. Oh, for euthanasia!

Whoa John! Lay off the newspapers!!
I'm house training a new puppy...

Eugene!!


ROFLAMO :)

American Universities and education
Hey John, you forgot about the idiots who care more about indoctrination than learning. It's no wonder that Jay Leno has no trouble finding "Jay Walkers" who can't tell you if Brazil is in Canada or South America, but consider themselves experts on how everyone "feels" about government, world events and so on. All I can say is if you raise your kids right (homeschool, or stay involved in their public school's education)they won't have much intellectual competition when they venture forward.

Don't blame the airlines.
Airport security comes to us from the morons in the federal government, not the airlines. The deterioration in service is due to cutbacks they have had to make because of all the regulatory expenses imposed on them by the aforementioned morons. Whenever I fly, I find the pilots, attendants, and the people behind the counters to be very nice, and they work hard, and there are always some jerk passengers who make their jobs more difficult. It's the TSA idiots, who work (and I use the term loosely) for the government, not the airlines, who ruin the travel experience.

I'm glad
to hear that I'm not the only one creeped out by the Burger King commercials. What is with the "Chucky", gigantic evil doll think?

Based on the Prop 8 decision I would say Penn is a slamdunk for the Oscar which is pretty much meaningless now.

A few tidbits
First they have finally found an appropriate pair of twits for Reality TV. On "A Double Shot at Love" guys compete to date and presumably boink the Ikki Twins. So called because they're named Vikki and Nikki but still icky.

As for Sean Penn, just mail the Oscar now. After Philadelphia and "Boys Don't Cry" Hollyweird has found is guaranteed formula:
gay victim flicks. No effort needed.

Soli Deo Gloria!!

I am mad as HE** and I am not going to..
can't Mac folks and PC folks get along?! Isn't our party a tent that can accept Macs!? I am a conservative and I love my macintosh. Just because I am not liberal means I like inferior design. SO what that its a leftie company, isn't nice to see a a leftie company contribute something into the marketplace besides regulations?! Ok I am not actually mad, but do not make me form a party called the log cabin computer cafe republicans! Cuz I will do it you know I will. Ok maybe not but hey Macs rock and so do PCs and Macs have the honor of not being confused with Political correctness so take that and put it in your you suck list and smoke it. Oh wait you are a conservative too, you do not smoke that stuff. although perhaps you did when deciding to inlcude my favorite brand of computer. Its high time we stop discriminating against MACs, I have a dream that one day Macs and PCs can play together in piece and harmony and I think we are going to get there. (PS please no hate mail for a light hearted spoof of the I have a dream speech.) Actually a very funny blog entry. keep up the good work but leave my computers out of it. And if you thought this comment was bad, I was considering putting alternative lyrics to "blue suede shoes" to defend my macintosh and commemorate Elvises Birthday at the same time. So it could have been worse.

Anti war movies
arn't the problem. The problem is anti-America war movies.


I love this post so much if I wasn't-
already married, I would marry it. I laughed, I nodded, I wrote my congressman and woman and told them how much they sucked! I'm pretty sure they've had my e-mail address automatically deleted by now!

Excellent List
And obviously I agree for the most part.

OMG!
John Hawkins, you've stolen my thoughts!!! Although I would add teachers' unions and politicians who keep dumbing down our education system...you suck!

Oh, and today, living in Jax, FL, I'm having to endure the gator nation...that sucks.

A bit off topic, but

I'd like to add one more to the "You Suck" List.

Peter Angelos owner of the Baltimore Orioles.

He hasn't made an effort to put a winning team on the field in over a decade.

Thanks, I feel better to get that off my chest.

Great Article
How about the business leaders that agreed to give unions all that money and all those perks. How about the Board of Directors that gave big salaries and bonus to people that destroyed their companies. Golf has the right idea, win you collect lose go home empty handed.

You're a little tough on the Mac guy
Otherwise, spot on

Teacher Unions
Teacher unions, the NEA, and higher ed all belong on the list. They suck!

don't forget....
...the morons who don't know how to use their blinker lights when turning....and the lazy slobs who can't put a grocery cart into the corral in the store parking lot....and the blank-eyed zombies who believe everything they hear on the network news....and the slugs who are just waiting with baited breath for their next "stimulus" check from big-daddy gov't....and so on....and so on....

The PC Guy
...funny. I always like the PC guy better than the Mac guy. I must be a conservative!

Bill Gates
should have been listed instead of the Mac guy...all the annoying error messages that put the blame on the user- and Vista is a joke. Plus, he's a liberal to boot.

add to suck list
Liberal educators, and I use that term loosely, bolong on that list. Almost all Democratics in Congress, and a good numbert of Republicans also suck, as evidenced by the 9% approval rating. Anyone who signed on to this idiotic bailout plan definitely sucks. Anyone that buys into this man made global warming hoax sucks. I could go on....

Superficial and Cliched
I forgot "knee-jerk." For a "you suck" list with some meat on its bones, see Dennis Miller's "Top 10 Pinheads of 2008."

Forgot
He forgot Congress with its 9% approval rating.

Lists can be as long as you want
but in the space allowed, I think John conveyed the thoughts on many people's minds, mine included.

The List
My personal un-favorite: Out of control public school systems which continue to mightily over tax homeowners, without taxing renters (where most of the kids, including the many, many illegal aliens come from. Along with, the Dept. of Education which ought to be abolished so that thinking taxpayers can regain control of public school systems.

Kudos
Hey, John--

Loved the dog and tick analogy...spot on. I know there are good and decent lawyers out there, the guys lower down the totem pole who perform a service for their local citizens. But the lawyers who get famous, who make national news stories--like the ones who work for the unions or the ACLU--are just as you described.

Kudos...a good piece.

Fight back and boycott!
"In the last two years, Pepsi has given $500,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and $500,000 to the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The $1,000,000 was to be used to help promote homosexuality in the workplace. Pepsi refuses to give money to any pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda. Plus, every homosexual organization we know of is overwhelmingly pro-abortion.
Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat Proposition 8 which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. HRC, the homosexual group financially supported by Pepsi, gave $2.3 million to defeat Prop 8."
We are talking;
Frito-lays, 800-352-4477
Quaker Oats 800-367-6287
Tropicana 800-237-7799
Gatorade 800-367-6287
Go to American Family Association afa.net and help them fight the good fight.
Pepsi forces all employees to attend sexual orientation and gender identity training where they are taught to accept homosexuality.

It is none of Pepsi's business!

Yet another nominee
Everyone who runs red lights.

I agree with the one who said it isn't
the anti-war movies, it's the anti-American war movies I object to. (As a side note, WHEN are we going to STOP fighting the Nazis?)

It's not just newspapers dying - it's liberal news, tv too. Long live the internet!

One word on education - it sucks! Oops can't count (I went to public school!)

Last words - get the UN OUT OF THE US. and the flip side - get the US OUT OF THE UN!

Political Correctness...
...SUCKS! Ditto on your list and all of the posts!

Susan
I agree with you that the Dept. Of Education. Ever since they opened that rat hole education has slid right into the toilet. By the way renters do pay property taxes. It is a part of the rent they pay the landlord. I have owned rental property in the past and I passed the property taxes and insurances I owed to the tenant as a part of what they paid in rent.

John hawkins article of 1/9/09
Mr. Hawkins:
There is little more I could say other than: you have hit many nails squarely on their heads!

Keep up the good work!

"Out of control public school systems which continue to mightily over tax homeowners, without taxing renters"

Owners of apartment buildings pay property taxes, often at higher rates than homeowners. Ultimately these taxes come out of the tenants' rent.

The analogies are endless…

Yes, the analogies are endless and I love them because they are true reflections of the virtues of what is GOOD and what is BAD. In politics, as in sports, the GOOD and BAD come into clear focus in the extremes. Yet, in politics the playing field is manipulated from outside by those with a self-serving desire for influence and power that has corrupted our institutions to the point of no return; unless WE THE PEOPLE make sure that the playing field is not manipulated.

What is the answer?...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evidences a design to reduce them under absolute Authoritarianism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these United States of America; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Congress is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Autocracy over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

It's not that he's hitting on Mac the product, it's the advertisement, which (in my experience at least) typifies the "image" Apple tries to appeal to. "Macs are cool - PCs are for geeks".

Who would you rather have do your taxes, PC guy or Mac guy?

Who would you most likely order a venti espresso soy latte from, PC guy or Mac guy?

Counter to stereotype, Rush uses a Mac, and Bill Gates invented the PC.

The absolute WORST celebrity/politician:

Ah-nuld Schwatzenegger.

Let me add another pet peeve
Those public service spots showing parents blocking certain TV characters. Notice that they are always blocking violent material, and the actors are all while males. Will we see one where a parent is blocking, for instance, Snoop Dog for his perverted sexual content? Grow a pair of testicles, Ad Council!

happy new year
Wait for the Obama movies. Remember the song? Everything is coming up roses. Too gooey, for sure.

My vote
My nominee for the "you suck" list is the State of New Hampshire, which brought back John McCain's candidacy from the brink of oblivion and led to Obama's victory.

New Hampshire - you definitely suck!!!!! (and deserve the right to get removed from your place in line as one of the first primaries)

You forgot one
You forgot the insurance companies, especially the ones who decided to abandon Florida after the very unusual year in which we were hit by several hurricanes.

Yes, Florida has the potential for hurricanes . . . however, we do not have earthquakes, blizzards, ice storms, mudslides, volcanoes or avalanches.

Moreover, when was the last time anyone received several days advance warning for an earthquake?

In addition, it is possible to design homes that are virtually indestructible to hurricane force winds. Add to that, companies like Allstate that make it their mantra to "delay and deny" claims.

Please add them to your list!


Newspapers?
I tried lining my birdcage with the Pittsburgh ComPost Gazette, and poor thing died of constipation.

yeah
indoctrination in universities is definitely true. I received my B.S. degree last May and my fiancee is working on her masters in lit. One of her classes consisted of why Palin is a "Polar Bear Hunting Whore." Luckily I never had these classes during my four years, but one of my friends told me that one of his classes had an all out Bush bashing session for 50 minutes.

Pathetic that we pay so much money for that. People should watch American Carol. David Zucker had it correct.

Reality tv
So true about reality tv! To date I haven't been able to articulate why I can't stand reality tv. I know that I don't like it at all but wonder what is behind that. That's it!! I can't stand those types of people in my daily life and they bug me being on my tv screen. Great article!

Lawyers
It's the sue everyone mentality of lawyers and the class action lawyers in particular that have our country tied in knots. I know several people who needed court appointed lawyers and the lawyers literally took the money and ran. One person actually got to talk to his for 3 minutes before his hearing--and another tried to get his on the phone for 3 months as he was being held in the wrong facility--with no access to the work release that had been ordered. Finally a jail employee took it upon himself to get the man moved(3 wks before his release),no thanks to the lawyer or judge.

eric
An article of faith among conservative critics of American universities has been that liberal professors politically indoctrinate their students. This conviction not only fueled the culture wars but has also led state lawmakers to consider requiring colleges to submit reports to the government detailing their progress in ensuring “intellectual diversity,” prompted universities to establish faculty positions devoted to conservatism and spurred the creation of a network of volunteer watchdogs to monitor “political correctness” on campuses.

Just a few weeks ago Michael Barone, a fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, warned in The Washington Times against “the liberal thugocracy,” arguing that today’s liberals seem to be taking “marching orders” from “college and university campuses.”

But a handful of new studies have found such worries to be overwrought. Three sets of researchers recently concluded that professors have virtually no impact on the political views and ideology of their students.

If there has been a conspiracy among liberal faculty members to influence students, “they’ve done a pretty bad job,” said A. Lee Fritschler, a professor of public policy at George Mason University and an author of the new book “Closed Minds? Politics and Ideology in American Universities” (Brookings Institution Press).


The notion that students are induced to move leftward “is a fantasy,” said Jeremy D. Mayer, another of the book’s authors. When it comes to shaping a young person’s political views, “it is really hard to change the mind of anyone over 15,” said Mr. Mayer, who did extensive research on faculty and students.


MADE MY DAY
to know that others have the same "You suck" list as I do. Could not have agreed more. Keep on telling it like it is. We need a loud voice now or some of us will be pushed over the cliff in American and become the minority.

I cancelled my newspaper last year, watch less TV, go to fewer movies, but did enjoy the one Conservative movie made last year, "The American Carol". very pro America.

A few more...
Men over 5'9" tall.
Women over 5'8" tall.
Men with a full head of hair.
Women who like men with a full head of hair.
People that don't trim their fingernails.
Volvo's.
Europeans.
Illegal Aliens.
People who make Erectile Dysfunction commercials.
People that spend time in Starbucks.
People that drink wine instead of beer.
My cousins wife.
Men that kiss other men on the mouth.
Men that talk with a lisp (Usually Liberals).
Men that dress up like Lance Armstrong, ride bicycles and get in my way when I'm driving.
People that belong to health clubs and believe in second hand smoke.

This about sums it up for me.




Obama suck list
Are we suppose to feel secure knowing the team Obama have assembled to provide intelligence in the unstable world. By the way counter-intelligence also is part of the job. There is more to counter-intelligence then waterboarding and the things that concerned the liberals about Gitmo and Iraq. DNA test all justice, homeland security, CIA, and education department
personnel.

The you suck list should include…
99.99% of the Amerikan sheeeple. These are the ignorant, stupid, clueless, room temperature IQ morons that spend more than they can afford on houses, cars, Starcrap Coffee, bottled water, multi-thousand dollar TV sets, clothing, crap, overpriced and useless garbage of every description. They also fall for every scam advertized on Radio, TV, etc. They think they can buy snake oil to make their debt disappear, their hair grow, their “junk” get bigger and work better, get rich with “secrets” nobody else knows, lose weight with a pill, improve their memory with a pill, clean thirty pounds of non-existent $hit from their colon, and the list goes on and on. These jerks make it bad for those of us with intelligence and above all, common sense. Oh, and I forgot, vote for empty suit, Connunist Obamanation and liberal senile McMoron. Amerika - see you in hell, the place you deserve.


Top of the List
should be Planned Parenthood. They suck taxpayers out of their hard earned money. But, worst of all, they suck tiny, defenseless preborn babies out of what should be the safety of the womb.

Too Ovious
The Detroit Lions of 0-16 fame.

Trueto life...
You forgot to mention that PP especially targets blacks for genocide- I mean, infantice, OOps, I mean "family planning".

Obvious
Just woke up. AM coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

They suck because...
they suck us, the taxpayers, dry. Their infest every town and city. They are the over pampered, overpaid, over perked, over pensioned teachers, cops and all other public parasites.

More "You suck" candidates
Folks who spell America with a K and believe she should go to hell are irritating too.

The word "sheeple" sucks. People who use it make themselves sound like elitists.

Hawkins dislikes teh gayz.
That's his prerogative.

But it's a losing position.

And when he stretches the truth, using hyperbole and mischaracterization of the facts, it's not even an intellectually honest one. True, his cloumns, like Prelutsky's (which are at least funny) seems more for entertainment value and to rile up those with similar beliefs, than as objective - or even serious - analysis, but I suppose someone has to cater to the below 90 IQ crowd, which sadly, doesn't seem limited to the Democratic party.

You said - The notion that students are induced to move leftward “is a fantasy,” said Jeremy D. Mayer, another of the book’s authors. When it comes to shaping a young person’s political views, “it is really hard to change the mind of anyone over 15,” said Mr. Mayer, who did extensive research on faculty and students.

My fiancee has told me that she talked to numerous amount of classmates who agree with the Bush bashing professors. When asked why they hate Bush so much, some replied that Bush caused 9/11, some that the recession is his fault, others that Katrina was his fault too. Alot of them listened to what the professors talked about in class. Most are too lazy to actually look up the facts on politicians anyway.

Look at the election. Some of my friends who are still in college who voted for Obama could not say one single thing Obama did, yet knew Palin's daughter was pregnant. I'm not saying that every college does this, but it seems a waste of money to not receive teaching in what you are paying for.

Take a look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX1rgOyyRj4



Eric
"...numerous amount of classmates who agree with the Bush bashing professors."

Of course they agree. Kids in schools today are taught more about how to gain and keep self esteem than about how to think.

Teachers pass them on to the next grade even if they haven't learned anything, and then affirmative action gets them into college when they wouldn't have qualified for college 30 years ago. Professors promote one student after another, especially if they belong to a minority group, without ever caring whether they have mastered subject matter just as long as they are politically correct. Then companies are pressured to hire unqualified employees to "give them a chance".

The really scary thing is that in another ten years, people getting surgery will be dying, buildings will be falling down, consumer products from tooth brushes to airplanes will be recalled for faulty manufacturing and scientists will change their proclamations every other week because none of the people working in society will be qualified to do what they are doing.

And I’m sure the liberals will find some way to blame all this on conservatives.

eric
I never believe any studies until I know who is behind them. "Studies" can be skewed to prove whatever one wants to prove.

If you really believe that professors don't try to influence students, even after people here have given first hand accounts of this being done to them and even after reports of Christian teachers and professors being fired of threatened with being fired, you are not paying attention.

John Hawkin's blog
John: I usually don't read anything starting
with the words "You Suck", because it is generally low bred and ignorant, but I have to say in reading your blog I found myself agreeing wholeheartedly with you except on one point. It is not only the GOP Members in the Senate that are useless, the whole Congress and
Senate are useless. None of them represent their constituents in any way, shape, or form. These bums ALL need to be toosed out on their ear, and we should start over clean. Being 71 years old, I can tell you this is the worst group of politicians in the history of this country. On the other hand, they do seem to fit
right in with what we elected President.

M Sederoff
you stated: If you really believe that professors don't try to influence students, even after people here have given first hand accounts of this being done to them and even after reports of Christian teachers and professors being fired of threatened with being fired, you are not paying attention.

You are absolutely correct. Also, I don't think that it's just that people aren't paying attention--they're in denial about their own miserable lives. Misery loves company. That is why conservatives are so much happier than liberals!! We know that true happiness means holding ourselves accountable to others but, mostly, to God.

Screw the Mac Guy
I couldn't agree more with the comment on the "Mac Guy". He's oh-so hip and the PC guy is oh-so dorky. I've been watching those ads for two years now and I hate the smug/smarmy Mac guy a little bit more each time I see him.

What set me off though, were satirical vids on Youtube where young leftists did a Mac/PC guy skit where the Mac Guy was in favor of socialism and the PC guy in favor of capitalism. Needless to say the argument for socialism won out...in a very hip and oh-so cool manner...

well
I like Justin Long, but if you don't, you might get some enjoyment watching Jeepers Creepers and imagining that you are the monster. :)

The mac ads seem a bit smarmily self-congratulatory, but I think what most overweight unattractive men dislike about them is that they are fairly overt in their message that thin and good-looking is undisputably better than fat and unattractive, and cooler and smarter and more ethical and trustworthy as well.

Add MSM To The List.......AND

John is dead center on target concerning the print media of America. Big city papers, coast to coast, and by a huge majority, pushed Obama.

Hell, Obama could have won the election without any PR people on staff. He didn't need them! He had America's newspapers.

The N.Y. Times, the L.A. Times, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Detroit Free Press and 200 other or so dailies worked for Obama 24-7. Look at my own state. Every major daily-Philly Inquirer, Philly Daily News, Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Allentown Morning Call-did everything in their power to elect Obama and defeat McCain!

America's Newspapers suck?

That's an understatement.

What's with the anti-atheism
Atheists that I know are getting pretty angry about being lumped in with "liberal homosexuals" when in fact most of them are very conservative (other than about that religion stuff). And the Christian gays probably feel the same about being lumped in with atheists. Other than that, the list was right-on.

Plenty of Heroic American soldiers
"Hollywood did also make Valkyrie, a movie about the heroism of German soldiers trying to stop Hitler. If only there were any heroic soldiers like that around today, ones that the American people could better relate to, for Hollywood to make movies about."

There are many heroic American soldiers story to tell, if Hollywood would choose to do so.

FairnessMan
I am one of the "parasite" public employees you speak of, however guess what? My salary/benefits are not paid for by taxpayers. My salary/benefits come directly from the casinos we regulate, in the form of fees charged by the state. If the casinos go belly up, I'll be out of a job. I am also not a union member as our division is not unionized. So there are some of us out there who do not fall into your generalized category. As for cops, most cops in most states (and I'm talking regular patrol officers, not management) make less than $45,000 a year and also rotate weekends and holidays. Police and fire people I don't mind paying taxes to support, as they provide a much needed service, but I will agree with you on the elected/appointed bureaucrats living high on society's dime. You are quite right in that San Fran Nan, Harry R, the great and powerful "o", and all the rest of the crooks in DC will never face the financial problems 95% of the rest of America's taxpayers face.

Pet Peeves
Mr. Hawkins, add to your list the following:

1) You are stopped in the left turn lane second in line at a red light. The light turns green and the person in front of you refuses to move until the light is about to turn red again. So they go and you are stuck through another cycle until the light turns green again.

This has happened to me so many times that I believe it must be a deliberate act on the part of the other person just to inconvenience a stranger out of sheer cussedness. These all can't be just people not paying attention(who shouldn't be driving anyway).

2) Bush-bashing. The man will be out of office in 11 days, a private citizen again. Can we give it a rest? If Hitler was hated as much as GWB I would like to see some evidence of it. Of course I suspect the Democrats will spend the next 4 years spinning failure by saying that Bush messed things up so badly we need more time, say 50 years.

I'm sure I can think of many more but I have some errands to run. Good day all.

how can we forget the liberal trolls?

THEY REALLY SUCK!!!

Good article John!

Trolls:

Just consider that to be constructive criticism aimed at idiots who are too dumb to ever take it.

Sophie
Sophie: Yes the media was in the tank for obama. Did you not notice Biden's screwups? Where was you media, when he called the Bosnians the "Bozniacs?" How about when he said that Roosevelt went on TV in '29, as president, when in fact A) There was no TV in '29, and B) Roosevelt didn't become president until '33? Now if a Republican said those things, the proverbial S... would have hit the fan. Fess up. You so-called "liberals" are in fact fascists. Now of course you will say that Franken(stein) "won" his election, by his cheating fiar and square, and that Blago in Ill is a victim. Get real. Of course, you are from Kleptofornicatia.

foul mouthed Sophie

Sophie, you sound like a foul-mouthed snotty little tramp who is not classy enough to be at townhall. Get back to your porn sights little doofus. Palin has more class than you have in the dirt under your fingernails from scratching yourself. Shame on you and you foul mouth. I wish I could have you in a room by myself for a few minutes. I am sick of your filthy mean posts. This will be my only response to you as you are not worthy of my time or anyone else with class on this site.

"mrbmrbrbmrmrbmm plus tax"

aj from MI
Wow, in MI, ALL compensation for ALL public parasites is paid for by the casinos!
Therefore, I assume, there no property taxes in MI? If so, I will be on the next plane to your state with a deposit for my new house. Wish these corrupt crooks here in NJ could figure out how to do that with all those billions from Atlantic City casinos.

Seriously, here most lowly patrol pigs, i.e., cops, quickly get up to about $125K, no typo, $125K. Projections are that a pig starting “work” in 2001 will retire with a pension of $175K, yes 175K + benefits in 2026. Most teachers steal near, at and in my town up to $107K, yes, $107K+benefits per year (for a ½ year part time job). Sounds like parasites to me. Could that me the reason I pay $9200.00 property taxes on a modest three bedroom split on 1/3 acre?

If we had less teachers we would have smarter kids.
If we had more robbers and less cops, the taxpayers would come out ahead.

Get over it
Macs and PC's are just glorified typewriters with brains. Office machines are not amimate and cannot be 'stylistic'. I just use the #@$!% things, not worship them. An unexpected error has occured!

Missed a Couple
Michael Moore needs to be added along with the whole cast at MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CNN, and CBS. Also, please add Move on.org, HuffPo and all other leftie sites that spew hatred and disinformation. I think I could go on as it seems that quite a few suck especially all of those dimwits (52% of the voters) that voted for Oblama and party.

Sophie
You sound too low class to even understand what low class is. You have to look up to see down you are so low.

Sophie
Such a pretty name and such an empty head.

AGREEING WITH OHNO
I SUGGEST THAT YOU ARE AS DISGUSTED AS ALL OF THE REST OF US WHERE IN THE HELL ARE OUR TRUE BIG TIME LEADERS....NEWT GINGRICH, ETC.
WE SEEM TO BE STUCK WITH THE OLD MAN WHO SCREWED UP....OBAMER IS SUCH A MYSTERY,
I WONDER.....
THE BIBLE SAYS THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL COME AND PEOPLE WILL SWARM TO HIM IN THRONGS, IS THIS THE ONE ? COULD BE, NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM...AND HE'S NEXT UP?
OH PLEASE, YOU FOOLS....GIVE EN HELL OHNO, I GOT TO RUN....

Sophie and others like her
Just because the line is cast doesn't mean the bait has to be taken.

Remember, in a liberal's mind, he/she is the only one who has intelligent thoughts.

Their brillance is too much for the average conservative to absorb.

Some people are better left in their delusions.

Re: sophie... IGNORE HER!!!

She was posting her normal nonsense on Malkin's thread...


WE IGNORED HER... and she left... and apparently came here....


Want her to leave here? IGNORE HER! :-)

Good advice. There are warm-hearted, hard-working, well-intentioned liberals out there. I married one. Most of these folks just don't dig politics. To the extent they will pay atention, they agree with conservative values, but they rarely follow through. But the trolls like Sophie are a different breed. They get involved with liberal politics and guzzle the cool-aid. They are here to start a mud fight so they can feel like they have a life, make a difference. They are hopeless and best ignored. Every once in a while i get fooled by some newcomer, butr 9 tiomes out of 10 it turns out to be futile.

Add to the all time "Suck List":
Keith Uberdouche!! He always looks like he's got terminal gas and is seated on a porcupine. To be named "Worst Person in the World" is a badge of honor.

Hahaha,, loved it! Funny article!

HOW THE HECK DID WE FORGET

"little keithy".

Has to be No.1 on John's "You Suck" list.

That makes two lists he's on. In fact, on the other list, he's the only one on it:

"Most Despicable Person In The Known Universe"




How did Uberdouche
ever get from useless worthless FAILED sporstcaster to useless, worthless FAILING left wing bloviator? Liberalism rewards failure and punishes achievement. Undeniable truth of life number 40.

Re: Man who speaks with forked tung!!!
If this writer is not going to do it I will, Obamaxist is the prime example of a liberal with a big head and the entire white house will have to be remodeled because this guy can't get his head in the door it is swelled up so big!!
I give him less than a year before all this power goes to head and he starts doing really stupid dumb idiotic liberal crap and lie to us and say it was someone else's fault!!!

Good start John...
But, if you included everyone that deserves to be on the list, you would have to make the "You Suck" article a weekly thing. Hey, what a good idea!!!

You suck list
Do not let McCain slide by. He knocked off the good GOP candidates and then put up no fight at all against Obama. Apparently he was too old and surely too spineless to hit Obama on the things that counted.

barrack hu(in)sane obama
You do need to add the Dept of Justice and the ACLU... Who will be running the country when the mother-in-law moves into the White House? (Not the the black house).
