Major Minus

The Liter has been a little lacks in checking our e-mail this past week, but we found this warm fuzzy from nielsent@dwx.com --

Subject: BLOG?

It appears that you are an ignorant GOP Kochsucker.


This clever little comeuppance is courtesy of Major Thomas B. Nielsen of the United States Army, stationed at Camp Dodge.

HOOAH!

It was in response to my Paperback Writer posting that chastised Marilynne Robinson, a Pulitzer Prize winning author and Professor at University of Iowa, who thinks it's patriotism to be in the "Tax Me More" club, but doesn't actually pay anything more.

I will share that the Major's Facebook friends include RekHA Basu and Dr. Alan Koslow.

He also posted a picture of an Obama 2012 sign that says, "SUCK IT, HATERS."

'Nuff said and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Thanks for reading, Major Nielsen and Thank you for your service.

I'll continue to pray for and support you, and all those that protect this country.

I'll close with some words from a true Patriot, Thomas Jefferson --

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong.

Paperback Writer

The Ragister interviewed an Obama supporter who thinks it's patriotism to be in the "Tax Me More" club.

Marilynne Robinson, a Pulitzer Prize winning author and Professor at University of Iowa, said she’s happy to pay higher taxes.

“I’ve prospered a great deal from living in this country, from things like public education and so on,” she said. “I want to help other people also prosper and enjoy living in this country. As far as I’m concerned, it’s patriotism.”

It would actually be patriotism if you wrote a check now, without being forced to under the law and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Robinson's taxpayer paid salary has ranged from $56,374.98 to $151,500.00 over the last six years.

Not quite Warren Buffet money, but she shares the same principles of all showing and no doughing.

It should come as no surprise that her Pulitzer Prize was for Fiction.
