A real bastard.

I'm ashamed of the owners of the Chicago Cubs. The Ricketts family. Oh, maybe not the entire faimily. It's the guy at the top. The father. The patriarch. Joe Ricketts. He's a bastard. A hateful capitalist. Scum of the Earth. Maybe he's been spoiled by money. He's super, filthy rich. A billionaire many times over. He paid a billion dollars for the Cubs. And he's got more billions to spare. He's set up a Super PAC. With $10 million. Spare change for him. That he wants spent on defaming Barack Obama. Getting people to hate Obama. So that they don't give Obama a second term. Instead, Ricketts wants Republicans elected. So the rich can get richer. Often at public expense. For instance, the Ricketts want a public subsidy to help improve Wrigley Field, the historic ballpark in which the Cubs play losing baseball. Season after season. Yes, Ricketts has no problem with the concept of socialism that benefits private corporations. That pads the pocketbooks of billionaires. But he's against Obama. Because of Obama's socialist leanings aimed at benefiting poor people and the middle class. In establishing a social safety net. No, that ain't the socialism that Ricketts wants. He wants it all for himself. He's a greedy capitalist. A real bastard. --Jim Broede
