By FITSNews || Say what you want about U.S. Poverty Pimp … err, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, but His Royal Cosbyness has a way with words.
While the rest of the Socialist … err, Democratic establishment in Washington D.C. waxes disingenuous about spending freezes, South Carolina’s Miggity Mack Daddy is busy laying down some truth on us poor peoples.
Word to your mother.
You know, sort of like when Clyburn addressed the Constitutionality of “Obamacare” recently by saying “there’s nothing in the Constitution that says the federal government has anything to do with most of the stuff we do.” Or when he showed his constituents how much he really cares about their concerns by falling asleep during a town hall meeting.
Anyway, the latest example of Clyburn’s “straight uppityness” comes courtesy of The Hill:
We’re not going to save our way out of this recession. We’ve got to spend our way out of this recession, and I think most economists know that.
Most Keynesian economists, anyway.
The rest of us recognize that sort of thinking as prima facie retarded. Or a capite ad calcem retarded, for that matter.
Like Andre “Ice Cold” 3000, though, Clyburn is “just being honest.” Of course Andre is a capitalist who knows how to “act like (he) got some cent(s).”

“just being honest”? No, he’s just being his old dumb uncle Remus self. Like the saying goes – “the inmates are running the asylum”.

When you are a facist, the history books don’t matter because they can always be rewritten to say whatever the current administration desires. I really do wonder when the dollar will become unsustainable and we will be forced into a new national currency…

It was Joe Biden who just 3 months ago quipped that “we have to spend more money so we won’t go bankrupt!”
The corrupt clowns in Washington don’t care about enslaving our posterity to unpayable debt to Chinese and Indonesian banks.
After all, it’s OUR money they are spending, not theirs.
Just ask Nancy.

To me it is scary that people like this are in office…Just goes to show how little ethics or responsibility to the Republic you have to have to get votes.You just have to have the personality to pander to the people with their hand out.I think little is left to imagine that his whole purpose in office is power and self enrichment

Is “Clyborg” really a safe seat. Is an incumbent seat safe this time around.
Who or what is running against him and why not try this time to unseat him with the message that when pelosi is tossed as the House turns over there will be an uncommon amount of animus and retribution against certain folks and I think Jim and thus his district will get his share.

An honest man is the noblest work of God.

No Name, apparently you are not familiar with the saying that “all politics are local”. The setup of Clyburn’s district ensured his election. It will ensure his reelection. He could only be defeated by someone who could out Clyburn Clyburn. IRT Pelosi. Same goes for her. Her constituents will vote her back in no matter what.

CNSYD….You are correct.That is why we have to correct the power structure of the country.Its only nature for power and money to corrupt.People will always vote themselves money if given the power.

Is Clyburn pimp enough to play Southpark’s Chef?

Has this man worked an honest day in his life?

Impressively racist words used here to make what might otherwise be valid points. If making racist remarks about someone is supposed to be funny, it isn’t. If it’s unintentional, you’ve got some issues.
