What a freaking jackass.

Constantine "Connie" Xinos can suck my big, purple store-bought dick.

Apparently, this guy hasn't learned that poor people are more numerous, more frustrated, have less to lose and are way more prone to engage in criminal violence than rich people.

he's going to have a lot of esplain' to do when he gets to the pearly gates.

Wow. What a dick!

Wasn't this the same asshole who stole the $8,000 from Uncle Billy in It's a Wonderful Life?

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2009-11-03 11:49:28 PM  
what an asshole.

...is he for real? No could be that Scrooge like? i would like to say at least he's honest, but wow...what a douchebag.

Wow. Sounds like a good Republican there. I don't know that he is, but I'd put money on it.

 
Bathia_Mapes [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 12:09:37 AM  
Sounds like a real life Ebenezer Scrooge. Maybe he needs some ghostly visits of his own.

He sounds more like a Libertarian - and a massive jerkoff.

I heard it's this guy.

The article says he grew up poor and worked for his Dad.

I'm always amazed at how many people "succeeded on their own" and never recognize all the help they got. Do you suppose he paid for his law school, or was it paid for by scholarship or the marines?

 
Cagey B [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 01:08:38 AM  
The librarians are now attempting to unionize under the Teamsters.

It's unfortunate that this isn't happening in the era of "show up in the middle of the night and break your legs" Teamsters.

People who believe that their money makes them somehow better and more deserving than the rest of the world and that it gives them carte blanche to be rude are odious little slugs who aren't fit to lick the shoe of the poorest street urchin in India.

It's times like this I wish I had a vagina dentata.

Yup, he's a republicant (new window)

Did a library once land on his mother or something?

This is his way of auditioning to be the next Bond villain.

Well done.

 
picturescrazy 2009-11-04 03:25:54 AM  
Don't worry guys, his heart will grow a few sizes this Christmas when he sees that the children are still celebrating even though he took away their library.

 
detfrost1 [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 03:26:26 AM  
I wish all people were this honest, I really do. It would make politics go much smoother.

He's a dick, don't get me wrong....but at least he's an honest dick.

I want to go play on his lawn, I'm sure he won't mind?

 
GeneFrenkle 2009-11-04 03:33:31 AM  
Well, he's gone through life named "Connie." That's going to leave a bit of a chip on your shoulder.

Lady, +1 to you

 
themindiswatching 2009-11-04 03:34:13 AM  
He probably read a bit too much Ayn Rand and let it get to his head.

/he probably avoids paying his property taxes, too.

Bring lots of fertilizer. ...the kind that goes in bags and can be lit on fire easily. :D

The rich need the poor, but the poor don't need the rich.


No, I am not a communist and no, I am not poor.

Funny, but given my handle... it could be true =)

 
Toquinha 2009-11-04 03:41:54 AM  
Considering his poor upbringing, you'd think he'd be more sympathetic.

 
Ted Kennedy's Brain Tumor 2009-11-04 03:44:45 AM  
FTA: Xinos, who says he never had children in part because he wasn't sure he'd be able to support them, sprinkles the F-word throughout his conversations. He dismisses a recent library event involving dogs with a blunt three-word rant in which he bookends swear words around the word "that."

This man is the incarnation of FARK. Truly, the Messiah has come.

 
Genevieve Marie [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 03:45:00 AM

He was different poor. This kid's already what, 10 years old and hasn't farking cracked a million yet? Screw her and her resource-sucking brethren. They'll never make it in this town.

 
erveek 2009-11-04 03:45:09 AM  
I thought Hollingsworth Hound from the "Lucky Ducky" comics was a strawman.

Toquinha: Considering his poor upbringing, you'd think he'd be more sympathetic.

oh but he got all bootstrappy and he thinks you should too no doubt (I don't know how much you make but I can almost guarantee that's what he thinks about nearly everyone)

That, or sees things more clearly than most people.

 
Hoo Hoo 2 2009-11-04 03:46:38 AM  
I'm also betting he's a Republican.

 
erveek 2009-11-04 03:49:57 AM  
FTFA: Constantine "Connie" Xinos is the president of the home-owners' association in a gated community in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook.

Well, there's your problem.

 
Mija 2009-11-04 03:50:38 AM  
Sounds like the typical Ayn Rand fan. He's probably an atheist and a Republican/Libertarian too. Well, he's securing his place in hell. That's for sure.

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

 
xselectah 2009-11-04 03:51:37 AM  
Hoo Hoo 2: I'm also betting he's a Republican.

this is what always confused me about the republican party, considering that most of them ARE poor. there has to be some seriously self loathing going on.

i've lived in the midwest around "real americans" and they don't like rich people. i've also lived in the more conservative wealthy parts of the east coast (a few houses down from newt gingrich) and man they really don't like poor people.

i don't mean this in an insulting way, but i would love a real genuine glenn beck / rush limbaugh fan to come and explain this to me....i honestly think it's interesting.

Nah he like Milton Friedman will be allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Not only that he'll be allowed to take it with him! All his money, everything he owns with him to heaven.

And he'll be allowed to stay there as long as he can feed the meter.
