We’re All Entitled Now

We’re All Entitled Now


Considering what has transpired in Boston during the course of this week and particularly last night after a shooting at MIT lead to a carjacking, shootout, the use of explosives, and a manhunt — I’d like to take a moment to marvel at how big of a jackass Lou Dobbs is.
This is from two nights ago.

Dobbs: There seems to be a sense of entitlement on the part of many Americans that somehow they don’t have to be responsible for themselves and that they have no obligation to protect themselves, their families, and their communities in the face of these horrific threats.
Apparently, if you do not own an AR-15 and an extended magazine for it, you’re not only a liberal girly-man, you’re also an entitled freeloader. Because you should be providing security for yourself and not relying on trained, tax-payer funded law enforcement.
I wonder if the officers of Boston-area police departments would agree that they are serving an entitlement to the free-loading residents of Boston as they pursue someone who may or may not be armed with explosives at this time.

Kraken's comments

Sorry about the cut and paste job but this observation from Bob Cesca's Awesome Blog Go! was simply too good not to share. Is this the latest trial balloon of "how far can we go?" Thomas Frank discussed in Pity the Billionaire that there is no limit to the aspirations of right wing nutjobs, the crazy knows no boundaries. The contrast between monied insanity and society could not be more stark, in a week where most of us were so proud of law enforcement in Boston a sizable chunk of cretins make the dobbesian moment of derp; "MOAR GUNZ!"

How ironic that it is now the right wing authoritarian followers who are preaching Ice-T's mantra. Our so-called "conservative" movment has now finally and truly broken off to become it's own little oxbow lake of stupid and crazy if they think "Fuck the Police" is going to be a winning strategy for them.
