THOR’s DAY RANT: Old Doesn’t Mean Feeble

I really look forward to the day I'm old and gray, and I kick some punk's ass. It's a given this is going to happen. People get grouchier as they get older. And I'll have a lot to be grouchy about, what with the libtards having spent all my Social Security. This is assuming of course that Chairman Maobama's socialist healthcare won't have killed me in my 50s.

The best part about this inevitable battery will be the sheer surprise on the punk's face. He'll be the second or third generation raised, indoctrinated and otherwise brainwashed to believe that old people are pathetic weaklings — diaper wearing, walker-using babies one step away from the grave.

Perhaps you've seen some of this brainwashing in action lately? Take the story of the 72 year old woman tasered by a Deputy in Texas. The media hyped this up as a shocking, horrifying tale. She was 72!  The emphasis on this story was Ms. Winkbein's age. Not the fact she resisted arrest and dared the officer to tase her. Or that she didn't sustain injury from her shocking experience. Nope, the media hyped this for shock value, treating age as a disability.

People haven't respected their elders for decades. It's all part of the disciplinary slide our society has fallen onto with the banishment of corporal punishment. Kids aren't taught any respect these days. They don't respect teachers, the police or ministers. Why should they respect some old person?

Commercials showing old people as feeble are very rampant on TV: Ads for adult diapers; Ads for medicine — so old people can have regular, mind-blowing sex; Constant ads for medicines for thisthatorwhaterveritis; The hover round; Big buttoned, simplistic cell phones. Yes, TV has painted a picture of the elderly being so frail they couldn't exist in the wild. And since most kids are raised by TV these days, they of course are going to buy into the Feeb thinking.

But it's not just kids. Adults do it too.

Take the example of a guy I know who recently purchased a house. Next door to a child molester. This guy was going to move his girlfriend in and start a family — next door to a child molester. He was excited to find a foreclosed house he could get for cheap — next door to a child molester. He planned to fix it up and increase it's value. When I pointed out no one intentionally buys a house NEXT DOOR TO A CHILD MOLESTER, he replied "He's old and feeble."

What?!

Let's see, was Chester the Molester wearing an oxygen bottle daily? No. Did he move about with the assistance of a walker or hover round? No. Was he blind? No. In fact, Chester was gainfully employed. He drove a vehicle and went to work on a daily basis. Doesn't sound so feeble to me.

I hoped, for a brief second last week, that the shooting at the National Holocaust Memorial would wake people up. The shooter, James Wenneker von Brunn, was 88 years old! Gasp! How could such a fossil have carried a rifle anywhere, let alone kill someone a third his age?!

But no, the media downplayed the age of the shooter, instead focusing on von Brunn's white supremacist views. There were numerous interviews in which people talked about keeping an eye out for angry people. Thought Police in action?

Don't get me wrong about the elderly. I'm not saying they're evil. Far from it. I'm just pointing out that despite the numerical value attached to their names, they are people — same as you and me. Being sixty or seventy doesn't make you weak. Diseases, disabilities and ailments do. And yes, elderly people can be more prone to those conditions, as when folks get older, their bodies don't heal as well. But that doesn't make them feeble.

Should elderly people get senior citizen discounts? Absolutely. They worked hard and should have earned some respect in their twilight years. They don't get a discount because they're puny weaklings.

Should we open doors for the elderly, or maybe let them cut in line ahead of us? Yes. Not because they are feeble, but out of respect for their prior accomplishments. We may not know what those accomplishments are, since they aren't famous rappers or athletes, but simply making it to 60 or more indicates you have served your time here on planet Earth. That is an accomplishment.

With this respect for the elderly though comes the fact that they don't get a free ride. Should grandma have been tasered? Hell yes. She broke the law, and assaulted a police officer. The fact she was physically able to do so shows she was a good candidate for attitude-readjusting voltage. You aren't respecting the elderly by saying they're too old to get tasered. Your disrespecting them, by assuming they're weak.

And don't forget, one day, you'll be old too.

 
Bush administration predicted potential repercussions of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

I've been told that this is the video footage the libtard media didn't want you to see. Allegedly, it was pulled from YouTube by liberwock request once already.  However, the date on the video posting shows September 2008, so that accusation is probably a neocon myth. Anyway, it's certainly worth watching and must be seen to be believed. It's probably the best three and one half minutes of television you'll see this year. But just in case you don't have that much time, here's the short story.

Apparently in 2001 the Bush administration warned and then pushed Congress for stiff regulatory measures on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – citing the the potential for a financial meltdown which would subsume the realestate industry.

What's particularly entertaining about this footage is watching Barney Frank pimp the mortgage giant, even as the Bush administration gave dire warnings about the potential financial ruin awaiting us. Check it out. You won't be sorry.

 
Obama stops “Apology Tour”

The latest figures for the economy are so dismal that President Obama has had to stop apologizing to other countries. That’s right. Obama had to put his I Apologize To All Foreign Countries, Because I Think It Makes Me Look Good Tour on hold this week.

With history-making unemployment rates and a runaway recession at home, his latest efforts at effrontery are now, once again, aimed at the American people and with good reason. Americans are complaining…loudly. If things continue to worsen, expect a perfect political storm for Obama. He knows it, which is why he put all the political savvy he could muster behind his latest press conference.

I mean, with quotes like this how can he miss? “Now we’re in position to really accelerate,” said Obama. Yeah…’cause like, there’s no where to go but up. Seriously though, I'll have to agree with Obama. Now that the economy is squarely in the crapper, we are in a merely logical position to accelerate. So how about working that golden mouth magic and bringing us the economic prosperity you promised us when you were campaigning?

Anyway, whatever you do, don’t publicly criticize the prez, especially if you’re telling the truth. Several pundits have taken him to task, and Obama wasn’t too keen on them pointing out that his economic policies just ain’t cuttin’ it. Here’s what he had to say, "… I would suggest to [those pundits] that they talk to the companies who, because of this plan, scrapped the idea of laying off employees, and in fact, decided to hire employees. Tell that to the Americans who received that unexpected call saying, 'Come back to work.'" You mean like GM, for example? How about the 12.4 million people out of work now, Mr. Obama? What about them? With unemployment the highest it's been in 25 years, your stick and move comment rings hollow, sir. You are just another politician. Unbelievable.

With logic like that, I suppose if unemployment remains steady at 9.4 percent, he’ll claim that the reason was his economic policy. And, if it all goes south, (like the smart ones know it will) he’ll be pointing his finger at Bush Jr. In either case, let’s hope that he can conjure up more than just empty promises in the next couple of years. If not, he’ll actually owe an apology to the American people. But, don’t hold your breath, America. Unless you move to a foreign country, you’re not likely to get one.
