man, listening to long talks in the night about wobblies, socialists etc. The old man argueing that we came he for a chance at a better life, and Eddie in full cry oer the noble ways of social Glasgow always ending with the "If Glasgow was so fscking good why dont ya go back!" We lived in a house Mr. Burns beside us, food on the table and my father acheived his dream of owning a small farm while working 60-80 hrs a week to get there. The dream is different now.
American Left is about using the downtrodden as automatic voters because they support the welfare state which is a joke unto itself. The down trodden get bupkus except a ride to the polling station and a pack of smokes for voting. We spend a tremendous amount of this countrie's tax money on the poor. Problem is the lefties running the organisations that help others suck out 98 cents on the buck and live the vida loco. Examples are the red cross Jesse the Jackson and H.U.D housing and urban development who use the money to give kick backs to each other and consult the money to death. The poor and the minorities are afraid of the righties so keep voting and getting nothing.
American right use the fear of the middleclass that if they dont support the right they will end up back in the hood by being taxed to death. A large pile of tax money is rebated by the right into the pockets of IBM et al and the bill is presented to the middle class. Those normal folks of us who want to own rifles, pistols and flamethrowers over the objection of the left are pandered by this group until 9/11 they are using that for an excuse to strip us of all rights.
A little more complex than oer yonder.
thanx,
bill
