Charlie Pierce really does not like Wisconsin Senator, and Mitt Romney tag team partner Paul Ryan. And in The Gadfly's view, Pierce's motives for his brutal verbal hostility toward the man are justified when one comes to know Ryan's own welfare queen past as contrasted with his present actions as a U.S. Senator.
Observe the hide skinning:
Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny starver from the state of Wisconsin and First Runner-up in our most recent vice-presidential pageant, is death on people who don't work for a living. Unemployment benefits create a culture of entitlement, after all. The modern welfare state destroys the work ethic that made America the kind of place where a burger-flipping kid from Janesville, only through luck and pluck and Social Security survivor benefits (You're welcome, dickhead.), could rise to a point where Joe Biden laughed at him on national TV. Paul Ryan believes that government benefits have a corrosive effect on society, depriving its members of the character-building effects of poverty and hunger. He believes in the salvific effect of money earned in the perfect free-enterprise system.
He also believes in casinos.
After years of remaining neutral on an off-reservation casino in Kenosha, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Janesville signaled Thursday that he supported a casino plan as long as competing tribes were on board. He also credited Gov. Scott Walker for taking his time and not rushing a decision on the Menominee tribe's efforts to build an $800 million gambling complex. For months, Walker has been weighing a decision on the project, which has faced opposition from the Forest County Potawatomi, who operate a Milwaukee casino. The Ho-Chunk, with casinos near Madison and Baraboo, have also opposed the project. "I would like to think they could have a win-win situation and make it to the benefit for everybody. That would be my preference," Ryan said during an interview with reporters and editors of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Ryan added, "It would be great to see them come up with a system where no one loses and everyone gains and we net-create jobs. So how you have an arrangement where the Potawatomi have a stake in Kenosha, I don't know how you'd do it. Have some kind of an arrangement where they can make it mutually beneficial."
Considering that Ryan's basic position is that we also should turn Social Security and Medicare over to his cronies in the Wall Street casino, I guess there's a sort of consistency there in his deep affection for economic parasites.http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/paul-ryan-support-for-casino-122713
The Gadfly cringes at seeing a "man" emasculated in public as such --- unless of course it's a "man" wholly deserving of it.
