Her clip on "fair taxation" infuriates me.
But why shouldn't it? After all, she's just another useless attorney and Harvard law professor.
Translation? She hasn't accomplished jacksquat in the private sector. So what the hell gives her the right to lecture the rest of us on what we've built, accomplished or earned?
Not a damned thing.
Watch this clip of just over a minute. At the end, look around the room at the sorry lardass Massholes sitting around gleefully cheering her on.
If you ever wanted to know what a genuine loser looks like, you have a roomful of poster children.

"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you!
But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea — God bless. Keep a big hunk of it.
But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
I got defriended by a good liberal friend on facebook for the following comment, or something to the effect of:
Everything she just mentioned is paid for by property taxes, not sales tax or federal money. Everyone who owns land owes property taxes, even evil corporations. The only people that get a tax break on property taxes are lower middle class homeowners, who get a homestead exemption in some states. But I guess the moonbats won't be saying that they don't pay their fair share.
She's a Commie.
YGTBSM... She actually 'believes' the crap she's spouting!
Mudbug--We pretty much told our liberal acquaintances to go pound sand after 9/11. After Obama was anointed, we refused to even acknowledge them.
When they're of the mindset of socialists like this Masshole Warren, I consider them a domestic enemy--and I swore an oath regarding domestic enemies.
Tango Juliet, NFO--Yep, as I said, she's a government attorney and a Harvard law professor. When you've never produced a damn thing in your life, you can afford to sit back and point fingers at those of us who have and who do.
But I'm quickly getting to the point that the next such finger that gets wagged in my face is going to get broken and then shoved back in its owner's face.
I'm sick of it.

Masshole, eh?
Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate in the USA--the highest is in the Bible Belt, Oklahoma.
Massachusetts is among the 10 states with the lowest out-of-wedlock births --the highest are in the Bible Belt.
Massachusetts is the #1 state with the highest number of citizens with post-graduate degrees, as a percentage of its population.
Massachusetts has a lower unemployment rate than the national average--lower than Texas at 7.4% as of September 2011.
And in a new ranking of how well the states' K-12 schools are preparing their students for science and engineering careers, Massachusetts leads the pack, while Mississippi trails behind as 'worst in the United States.' The rankings are reported in the summer issue of the Newsletter of the Forum on Education of the American Physical Society.
All of this is verifiable.
So you can continue with your slander about Massachusetts, but it's meaningless because you're actually slandering a state that has much to be admired, lowest divorce rate, low unwed births, lower than national average unemployment rate, high educational values and achievements.
Most ordinary Americans admire these things.
The only social contract I have is called the United States Constitution.
Shawn,
The "Masshole" moniker actually originates with your neighbors on all sides--Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, et al.
Having owned land and a camp in Maine, we became all too familiar with Massholes during their annual pilgrimage to Maine and NH each summer.
They're called Massholes for a reason.
Of course, this is also the same state that elected and re-elected Ted Kennedy countless times, even in spite of his less than envious history with bridges and young ladies in his car.
Or his history of defending nephews against clear-cut rape charges at the family compound in Florida, where they were about as welcome as a bad case of crabs in a whorehouse.
Same state that continues to re-elect John "Swift Boat" Kerry and Barney Frank, just to mention a few.
Also the state with some of the most restrictive gun-laws in the entire United States, where property taxes are sky high and where the idiom of "do as we say, not as we do" takes on a whole new meaning.
I didn't invent the term "Massholes," but having been around enough people from Massachusetts, it damned sure fits.

Well obviously there are individuals in every state that are annoying.
As for Massachusetts' representatives, your disdain for them is solely subjective, since you dislike all Liberals. It's not based on how well Massachusetts does in the categories I've listed in my first comment.
And you failed completely to address all those categories where Mass. excels and that make the state a good place to live and raise children.
I could make the same assessment about unsavory pols in Texas, (remember Tom DeLay?) where my two grandsons were born and live with their parents--I've met some very fine people and some not so very fine as well.
I prefer to judge the state on the good individuals I've met.
(I forgot to mention that my city, Boston, is in the top ten of cities with the highest quality tap water, and Massachusetts is the THIRD least obese state (Colorado and Connecticut are first and second) in the US (Texas is #40).
And thanks to RomneyCare, just about 97% of Mass. residents have health insurance. Unlike Texas, which has a poor record. Texas and Massachusetts are at the extreme ends: Massachusetts has the highest rate of insured individuals, Texas the lowest.
None of the items I mentioned may mean much to you, but to many ordinary Americans, low divorce rates, low unwed birth rates, high quality education, good quality water, healthy life style that leads to less obesity, and having health insurance all are qualities that help make one's life easier and more enjoyable.
"Masshole" is an outdated term to apply to Massachusetts. Even our sports teams are excelling (7 championships in 10 years!--although the Red Sox are performing hideously right now).
Everyone's entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.
Massachusetts is not perfect, but it leads the country in categories that add to a good quality of life.
It's days like that that make you think you woke in in a strange world
We have to get behind a candidate who is going to represent our parties views, and not a Nut-Case like Ron Paul. Lets face the facts, if Ron Paul is nominated and he won’t be, but if he were to be the nomination, be prepared for another 4 years of Barack Hussein Obama.
Well Shaw, you can polish that turd as you see fit - but it's still a piece of turd.
Your state is going broke. Texas is going forward. You are using the state visa card to pay the utilities and pretty much everything else. As for your stats, liberals have been pulling those out of their arseholes for the last 4 decades. That is how we got liberal brainstorms like mainstreamed homosexuality and global warming. Liberal progressives are now moving to mainstream pedophilia as well. You idiots stopped abusing religion and now you're abusing science and stats - and I am supposed to be impressed?
You are going to have to put a helluva lot more elbow grease into that turd.
Jim
Dear Jim,
You seem so...angry.
Facts have that effect on people who can't face reality.
You call it "polishing turds?"
Yes. Well I understand your discomfort with the facts.
Texas' unemployment rate is higher than Massachusetts'. And Texas has the highest percentage of uninsured citizens of any state in the country. Those aren't turds, sir, they are facts.
Your negativity, anger, and inability to come to terms with Massachusetts, a liberal state that is doing just fine, is a symptom of cognitive dissonance.
AOA, I am so jealous you have your own moonbat troll.
Wow, such typical misogyny and violent hate speak from a dumbfuck wingut.
Warren is smart, honest and spot on. I guess most here don't know she started the new Consumer Protection Agency which tremendously helps average Americans from being ripped of by large corporations. But, no, you'd rather be lemmings and follow Fox News and Rush Limbaugh in demonizing her. Asswipes.
Wow, BD. Is that coming from the party of tolerance and acceptance?
BD, sounds like you're the typical over-educated/under-employed moonbat who mixes the Obama/liberal kool-aid every morning before you scour the "Help Wanted" ads.
And actually, YOU'RE the typical liberal asswipe--you rely on the gubbermint (ala draconian bureaucracies like your beloved Consumer Protection Agency) to protect you from those evil large corporations.
Me? If I don't like what a company is doing, I simply don't do business with them.
Imagine that.

I live here.. and Masshole fits the bill. They keep electing the same old idiots. Then flee to New Hampshire because of taxes. Now they are ruining New Hampshire.
We Have Governor Mini-O who is useless!! Take a look at the news weekly and you will see illegal immigrants, that are welcome here, getting arrested. We have Obamas Aunt and Uncle living off the doles here on our tax dollars. Although we have TOUGH gun laws the news almost everyday has a story about some choir boy getting shot by another choir boy in roxbury , dorchester, mattapan , jamaica plain... etc.
Great some people stay married, meanwhile companies are fleeing to better states or countries that welcome business.
It ain't that great.
Jay writes better than I do:
Here's 3 recent illegal immigrant stories from MA.
