Conservative attention whore and white-guy crybaby Andrew Breitbart told a group of Tea Party members in Lexington, VA. Friday that conservatives will win a civil war because “we have all the guns.” When the crowd laughed enthusiastically at his comment, Breitbart added, “I’m serious.” He then went into a whine about how people are mean to him on Twitter and how he hates union members. He also stated that members of the US military have approached him and “have his back.” Video after the jump. Continue reading

The US Census Bureau announced today that the number of Americans living in poverty has continued to climb while household median income has dropped. According to the report, 46.2 million Americans now live below the poverty line. The federal government defines poverty as income below $22, 113 for a family of four. This is the third consecutive year that the number has risen, and it reflects the continuing stagnation of the US economy.

This is especially true for men without college degrees. Continue reading
