If the old saying, ′you are what you eat′ is true, then a new study from Loyola University in New Orleans may explain why people who buy and eat only organic foods are snobs and jerks. Lead researcher Kendall Eskine, an associate professor in Loyola′s Department of Psychological Sciences, conducted a survey pointing to this. Pictures of food were shown to 60 people, divided into three groups. One group was shown pictures of organic food, another ′comfort food′ like brownies and cookies and the third ′control′ group saw pictures of basic staples like rice and oatmeal. Then the subjects were given a variety of questions and circumstances, requiring them to make moral judgments. The results of the study were published in the journal, Social Psychological and Personality Science.
Eskine tells Diane Mapes of MSNBC that those who eat organic food ″can become self-righteous.″ He goes on to describe, ″I′ve noticed a lot of organic foods are marketed with moral terminology, like Honest Tea…″ But the study shows that such feelings of superiority do not translate into altruism. One of the test questions was about volunteering to help out a needy stranger. The organic food eaters averaged only13 minutes, compared to 19 minutes for the control group and 24 minutes for the comfort food group. So if you need help, forget about asking the person with a carrot stick and find someone eating a slice of pizza.
So once again, we seen that Liberal smugness and pretentiousness can be identified and analyzed. Much like the infamous Smug Alert episode of ′South Park′, where Liberals driving hybrids were polluting the environment with their selfish attitude, organic food is in the same league, especially George Clooney. Could this explain why Michelle Obama is both a snob and a jerk? She may not wear a ′crown of motherhood′, but that is because she has other crowns to display.

And this brings us to ‘Organic’ transportation.
If you drive a Prius or a Volt, the ‘Goodness’ fairly pours out of you.

In her defense, I don’t believe it’s organic food that makes Moo-chelle a snob and a jerk!!

Where did you get that picture Andy?
Take away the lipstick and she looks like a, er, not a hockey mom!!!

Half that sht is not truly organic anyway.
The government regulates what conditions these foods are to be grown or processed in.
The antibiotics are there so you dont get sick and die.
More people get sick from cross contamination in kitchens and field workers with no porta potty more than all other causes combined.
Watch out for “wild organic”.
If its wild or free range you dont know what its been eating unless its under high security.
Chickens eat each others sht all the time.
If you’re hunting far enough away from civilization chances are whatever you bag hasnt been eating 5 day old garbage from some trailer park
I’ve met enough of these people while waiting tables.
First you have to answer 101 questions.
Then figure out which bottled water would go best with the meal.
And…they’re the worst tippers in the world. The worst

What can I say? Its been at least a couple of weeks since I last poked some fun at Moochelle. It was either this or the Ed Klein story from his book, “The Amateur” about how Moochelle was going to divorce Barack after he lost his first run for political office.
P.S., to ‘Me’: At least I did not also compare her to Stalin, too!

They’re both autocratic hypocrites who demanded you do what they say, not what they do.
That goes for just about everyone. Many of us tell our kids what bad habits to avoid and then we exercise those same bad habits in front of them.
National leadership figures should be held to a higher standard when they have access to millions of vulnerable minds.
H!tler was dangerous for reasons no sane person could argue.
Claiming you’re a vegitarian, teaching kids nutricious habits, and then turning around with a rib in one hand and a burger in the other.
Such methods that indoctrinate kids into obeying their government before their parents serve as nothing but launching pads for socialist federations that function like the Borg allowing no free thought. All minds assimilate to one consciousness that demands or claims equality by justification of nearly everything and any means to achieve the end product.
In H!tlers case it was meant to creating the perfect Aryan.
In Michelle’s case its part of the design that brings kids to accept compliance of nanny state regulation under the disguise of sympathy for animals or preventative health/eating habits so Obamacare doesn’t go over cost.(when it already is, go figure)
Its a damn good way to destroy industries that cater to the carnivorous in hopes they’ll instead grow corn for ethanol or other crops that cater to vegetarians.
Sht, that made me hungry. Think I’ll go grab some sirloin and have it ground

America is now the World Wide Butt of derisive jokes.
‘ They finally did it. They put one of those Ghetto Thugs into the Presidency, just to prove they aren’t racist. ‘
THIS is what the World Sees of America, Now:

There are many ironies in life, and you need not look far to find the most ironic among them- the President of the Unites States, Obama. One of the biggest ironies is that he reminds me of another socialist leader who ran his country through personality and total control over the media. The irony was that this man condemned all those with Jewish blood- yet his grandmother was a Jew. He exalted the blond hair, blue eyed of his country- yet he had black hair and brown eyes.
He expelled God from his land, economically destroyed his country, took total control of the media and came to office with no governmental experience- wait… was I writing of Hitler or Obama here?
Well, what spawned this rant was a campaign email sent out today, Mother’s Day, by Obama:
If you’re lucky enough to get to marry your best friend, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Michelle amazes me every day, and in the years we’ve been together, nothing inspires me more than watching her be a mom to our two girls . . . This year, I wanted to try something a little different. I know Michelle treasures every single person who is part of this movement we’ve built, so I’m hoping each of you will sign my card to her today. It’ll mean a lot to her.
Will you join me in wishing Michelle a happy Mother’s Day?
What makes this email ironic is that when you go to wish Mrs. Obama a Happy Mother’s Day there’s no place to leave a comment. Better yet, it also hits you up for a donation for Obama’s reelection. In reality, I wish all mothers and those acting as a mother figure a Happy Mother’s Day- including Mrs. Obama.
However, what irks me about this email is that it typifies Obama’s elitist’s attitude. Instead of writing something sincere to his wife, he just wants money. It would have been nice to cull some of the nicest comments and present them to her on this day. No, instead Obama used it as a means to motivate the masses to give him more money. Is nothing sacred?
The irony doesn’t end there. While he preaches that the country should tighten their belt and live a more austere life, he owns a million dollar mansion, drives an expensive car and owns the most expensive amenities of life. Why does he need to care how everyone else is doing financially? As president he also gets everything paid for him. His meals, his air travel, his vacation home; all that he wants or needs is on the taxpayer’s tab. Sure the gas prices rise. Why should he do anything when his tank is always full and there’s a chauffeur to take him anywhere at his own whim. Maybe that’s one of the reasons he stands idly by and does nothing as the price of gas crushes the already suffocating economy.
While most Americans are hesitant to go to Europe because of the weakening dollar (thanks again Obama), he sends his wife to Spain on a half-million dollar trip. And the irony is: we all here in America paid for it. I don’t know about you but I never received a thank you or at least a 49 cent postcard. I’m just saying, it would have been nice. While I was working all day it would have been polite for the first lady to thank me and the rest of the tax payers for her exorbitant trip.
Another irony is that Obama condemns the rich- yet he is the rich. He wants to stick it to them man- yet he’s the man! Am I the only one paying attention to these things? In 2011 he made almost 2 million dollars- yet he condemns all those American who are wealthy. The irony is: he’s a one percenter. He lives the rich life. He send his kids to private schools, rides on a private jet, has chauffeurs, maids, cooks and has someone clean his home. The irony is that when he leaves the White House this will not all end. Don’t just think it’s because he’s president.
We should have all known he would be like this. Remember his inauguration? Remember the size and cost of the event? Remember how many were there? Remember the cost of the security alone? The irony was this occurred during our recession. If he really wanted to show an example, he would have made the event small and saved the tax payers some money. But the irony is, he doesn’t care about the tax payers or our money. He prints money quicker than a counterfeiter and spends it to the point of economic collapse.
Unfortunately, I could go on forever. Hopefully I cannot say the same about Obama’s presidency. The irony is that our president is a self-absorbed egotist who cares only for himself and his own power. There is no love for America, for American history, for all the good America has done, for the soldiers, for the tax payers, for the churches and finally for capitalism itself.

“They finally did it. They put one of those Ghetto Thugs into the Presidency, just to prove they aren’t racist. ‘”
And there it is.

She is not a snob. The First Dog is just another angry woman with a fat ass, and by definition such women cannot be snobs. Barack is the snob.

All liberals are snobs.
It’s the single most important character defect of the persona that operates in all their functions’
They’re incapable of humility.
They project care and sympathy to the most trivial and irrelevant crap as a means to say you’re immoral and lacking insight if you dont notice the perceived injustices they drum up before them or after they tell you what is.
Example
liberal:
“That black asphalt has to very uncomfortable and hot to their feet.”
This is true, but do I give a sht ?
Not enough to spend millions on grass bridges.
If you reject their proposal they automatically are the ones of superior empathy and ethical concern and you’re just big mean persona who thinks your getting to work on time is more important than an ant who should also have constitutional rights’
When all along its just been a ploy to create useless jobs on useless projects with plenty of kick back and votes from contractors .
They’re all snobs because its the snobbery that makes them liberals/progressives.
May 20th, 2012 at 11:01 am
uh,sorry, the asphalt is too hot for ant feet
May 21st, 2012 at 4:18 am
There ya go, Micky! Obama should start a national infrastructure program to replace all asphalt and concrete roads with some nice plush or shag carpeting.

I buy organic when possible and yet I also buy Subway for the homeless. Does that make me a snob? What about the right wing snobs in Orlando who arrest you for feeding the homeless in a public park? Is that Disney trying to keep the streets clean or what? A sampling of 60 people is hardly scientific. Of course the costs of organics being what they are, roughly double so called conventional food does make them too pricey for most debt slaves. So really this a case of class warfare, whereby the people who can only afford Ramen noodles accuse the real food eaters of snobbery.
