Dear Mr. Newton Leroy Gingrich,
With all due respect, suck on this Newt. I have a Ph.D. too. I have worked at least 2 to 3 jobs my entire adult life. I have showered daily. I have paid my taxes. I have followed the rules. My only blemish is a speeding ticket in 1981 (yes, I was speeding, go figure?). I vote (I wonder if it matters anymore?) I pissed my Dad off by hanging McGovern posters up in my room and I even voted for Anderson, hahaha, remember THAT guy? Man, my Dad was incensed so I guess life was good. Fast forward a few decades...then the economy crashed in 2008. I lost my job. But I got a new one in 3 weeks. Then my future ex-wife lost hers. I tried the BofA Making Home Affordable program. They lost my stuff 4 effing times. After 3 court appearances they offered to drop my mortgage by $30 dollars. WTF??? Their CEO makes more in bonus money in one year than I will make in a lifetime of cancer research combined. My taxes bailed his BofA CEO ass out and he is laughing all the way to his bank.
How dare you not remember where the millions you made from Fannie/Freddie went? Really???? I have a house in foreclosure. A beater 1991 Volvo. I pay rent. I pay my child support. I still live check to check. I just got health insurance after 2.5 years of no coverage. I am crazy crazy lucky to have a job now with benefits. Jeez, I feel rich and I guess it is all just perspective. I am the 99.95% and fuck you for having the gall to dismiss me.
But it is not just you Newt, it is all of your hypocritical cronies and minions too, betting on the market with inside info without impunity. Why did Martha Stewart go to jail for something you and the rest of Congress practice daily (thanks Jon Stewart)? Gordon Gecko would be proud of you.
Newt, do you have the balls to answer intelligent questions about how this country really runs? You and your inner circle jerk colleagues are ducking out Jesse LaGrecca and the intelligent questions you can NOT answer because you are all guilty swine. I wish Hunter S Thompson were still alive because he would hopefully skullfuck all of you and rage on against the shit you sell as American and Patriotic. You are all guilty of treasonous behavior and you know it. In theory, you all have functioning brains that can discern right from wrong? I have a hard time believing you feel like your behavior is ok? You have destroyed the US economy and uhm....what else? Oh yeah, the Global economy too. You guys "rule", pun intended! Unless...........Occupy!
As I age, at 51, I worry about my gut, not the girth but the RAGE. Luckily for you I am a pacifist.
The OWS folks have caused that rage to stir. Finally expressing the rage over the hypocrisy of this system obviously owned by corporate folks and the gazillionaires. They pull the strings of the Supreme Court, The Oval Office (i.e. GoldmanSachs South), and our Congress. All of you are owned and are really just driving this country back into the stone age.
Nope, I am not medicated, not psychotic, I am not trying for a part in Mel Gibson's Conspiracy Theory II, not dangerous (as far as inflicting physical harm, not this Dude, Abide) but only dangerous in the fact that I am not a Faux News Sheeple. I can analyze and actually THINK. But as I said in a comment earlier, I was numbed by my hustle to pay the mortgage and follow the rules just wanting to sleep until that alarm went off too damn soon for another fucking Happy New year, I hope I get a tax return this year so I can catch up on my Sears bill. Why? "And then one day you find, 10 years have gone behind you........comfortably numb" Just pushing the lawn mower, watching the right shows, feeding at the company trough, god bless America and damn those 9/11 terrorists. But shazzam....these smelly hippie drum circle OWS POS's (Fox News labels, no disrespect) have caused that gut rage of mine to wake up.
So I am now an unpatriotic subversive, still working, down to one job, one shower a day, still driving the beater Volvo ( I wave as I drive by our Chief Urine Tester (P)Rick Scott's gubners place here in Tallahassee, what a piece of humanity) and feeling alive for the first time in years because of these OWS subversives have finally made me open my comfortably numb eyes.
You, Newt, and all that you represent should register as future extinct species. Your jig is up.
These unwashed, unintelligent, uneducated, unAmerican rabble that you label so easily, that you so quickly dismiss should have you puckering your bleached sphincter of comfort and cronyism because your time has come homeslice. I am not the only one that is waking up.
I really do not see this movement letting up either. Wow, what a great time to be unNumb. I hope my great great grandkids can read about this on their solar powered eReader (not made in China by a 5 year old in a lead filled factory). Maybe one of them can say...yeah, I am related to that old stoner-like scientist dude that helped real Americans wake up. Or not?
The proverbial ball is in your court Newt. I challenge you to man up and debate someone that is not a brain-dead zombie (no disrespect to your current debate challengers, well maybe a little). I may force you to actually "answer" a question, how novel? I am a gracious winner too! After you get trounced, I would have the decency to invite you over to my palatial crib. We can get high together (you don't have to inhale) and we can laugh along with Jon Stewart as he replays your momentous loss. You can even stay for Colbert before I kick you out because unlike you, I actually have to WORK for my paycheck. Have you ever?
I am the 99 and with all due respect, you can kiss my secular socialist taint at your leisure.
