So some rich, white, Reich-wing assholes tried to throw a protest

[sabotabby]

springheel_jack kindly translated their signs into English.

So I had to Photoshop it:

Nicely done!

[sabotabby]

Thank you!

I put "FART" in there just for you. Incidentally, I wonder what the sign said. It looked like it said "Fair Trade," which doesn't seem to be something they'd be into.

[ironed_orchid]

I suspect the sign maker got confused between Fair Trade and Free Trade.

[sabotabby]

I've been known to stumble over that when I speak. But that was actually one of the non-handwritten signs so ya gotta wonder.

[livingfossil.livejournal.com]

Think I've figured it out: "FairTax"!

I feel so... accomplished!!!

...

[constintina.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha I'm so glad you actually did this.

[sabotabby]

It had to be done.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

I went to the original post, my god, someone actually has a sign that says "Atlas will Shrug".
Dude.
I love the translations!

Fucking Christ why are people so... so... I want to say narrow minded, but that seems a tad too nice. So I'll go with idiotic.

[sabotabby]

I don't think anything we could come up with could be funnier than "Atlas will Shrug."

In answer to your second question, it might be something in the water supply.

I hate Ayn Rand and Libertardians too.

That said, I don't like the bailout either, as it's basically a theft of taxpayer money to rich white congressman's pet projects and corporations, with very little actually spent on job creation, which is what we DESPERATELY NEED in this country.

[sabotabby]

I don't think it's great either. I mean, something needs to happen–either a revolution or a new New Deal. But these people don't support either of those things.

This makes me happy :)

On a related note; have you've seen this:

25 things objectivists say during sex

[sabotabby]

I have seen it, but it bears repeating.

[numb3r-5ev3n.livejournal.com]

...This is the best thing ever. XD

[sabotabby]

Why thank you!

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

Haaah, fantastic!

Actually moderately impressed with the Obama budget. Actually for the first time in decades in an Anglophone Capitalist country putting up taxes on the rich. And $634 billion or whatever for healthcare is nice.

At any rate if it's getting the Libertarians out on the streets there must be something good about it.

My name is marsianer, and I approve of this message.

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

I wish Obama really was a radical socialist. (sigh)

[jvmatucha.livejournal.com]

Seriously. The right keeps calling him a radical communist, and I keep thinking "Oh, if only!"

[jenlight.livejournal.com]

Ha!

[seanmonster.livejournal.com]

Heh.

I don't get most Americans either, and I am one...

[jvmatucha.livejournal.com]

Conservatives in this country have gone beyond just plain good-ol' everyday evil and have advanced into the realm of cartoon evil. They're Snidely whiplashes twirling their mustaches and the evil Emporer from the Star Wars series. They wouldn't do the right thing under any circumstances.

In all seriousness, the neocons in America today are quite possibly the most pernicious widespread political movement since the Nazis. These fuckers wouldn't change unless we had their heads in a guillotine.

cheers

[springheel-jack.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[arnavtul.livejournal.com]

this is great :)

[krinndnz.livejournal.com]

I was totally amused by this even before I saw the original. Yay for truth-by-Photoshop.

[popelizbet.livejournal.com]

I kind of love you right now. And based on your previously illustrated brilliance over at springheel_jack's place, I'd like to add you, if you're not averse.

[sabotabby]

Not at all—added!

[popelizbet.livejournal.com]

Super sweet.

[erikthedane.livejournal.com]

This is beyond righteous.
