I gotta get something off my chest, I can't stand the blogger Matt Walsh. For those who don't know, he's this conservative Christian blogger on wordpress. He has a lot of followers and like other internet celebrities, he makes a living from ad revenue online.
Now I'm not going to bash him for making money online. I think it's a great thing that people can get paid in such ways. But I am going to bash him for being one of the biggest assholes on the internet. He is everything that's wrong with the far right and then some. It's almost comical seeing him get riled up over things he has no idea about, saying extremely hateful shit, and then trying to play the 'good Christian' card. Since I have a lot more free time now, I've been reading his blog for shits and giggles.
And then he posts this. Basically, he got some backlash for saying that Walmart is 'charitable' for giving people jobs who 'don't deserve them'. He responds to one of the pissed off emails who should have set him straight. He told Walsh that the job market is a bitch and that employers take advantage of it. And, well, since his response is too long winded to post in it's entirety, I'll just an exert to illustrate what a douche this guy is.
Yeah, he outright says that someone is getting paid more than they deserve by a company who's paying them such shit wages that they need government assistance. Even if the guy does have a shitty work ethic, to think that Walmart workers are overpaid is just nuts.
Of course, that's not the only dickish thing he's said in his blog. He's proven to be homophobic, anti feminist, supports voter ID laws, and even thinks that those immigrant child should be sent back. Yet, he still thinks he's the moral good Christian because he speaks out against abortion and defends traditional values.
What an asshole.

Thank you for your insightful reflections, Bob. You raise some interesting points, yet I can’t help but feel slightly confused by your hatred for one of the only organizations in the world that would actually pay a salary to someone like you.
I should explain that when I say “someone like you,” I mean someone with an abysmal, self-entitled attitude, who is proud of making no effort and providing subpar service to customers. You seem to think that you should only perform well if you’re paid well, but the unfortunate reality is that you will only be paid well when you perform well. This is a concept called “earning.” To “earn” literally means “to receive as return for effort.” So, if Merriam-Webster is any judge, you haven’t earned anything. You confess to your lack of effort, which means you confess to the fact that you aren’t even earning the minimal salary which you’re currently collecting. You are one of Walmart’s charity cases, and you should be thanking them, not sobbing about those villainous CEOs who “buy private jets.”
