I often wonder upon which planet some of these people reside and whether its atmosphere is providing them enough oxygen. |

How does one sign up to become a neo-asshole, and what's wrong with being a traditional old-school asshole anyway? |

Plain old asshole has stood me in good stead for decades. I can't imagine the neos are significantly different. |

Well, well, according to Joel S. Hirschhorn, I might actually fit his criteria for being a “progressive” or “populist”: Hirschhorn - “I am terrified that a Democrat-controlled House might actually give the business sector what they want - continued massive illegal immigration. Any progressive that thinks millions more low-wage immigrants serve the interests of working- and middle-class American CITIZENS is misguided.” Since I do NOT favor formation of a North American Union of Canada, America and Mexico, and I do NOT favor ANY guest worker program, I might be a “progressive.” Sure sounds better than “conservative” or what is more properly my philosophy which would perhaps be called “preservative.” But can you imagine a bunch of people referring to themselves as “Preservatives?” No, I thought not. Hirschhorn - “They are already jumping with joy about House investigations into the many misdeeds of the Bush administration, and maybe even a serious attempt to impeach Bush. Fine. These are good common dreams.” Good common DREAMS. I have dreams too, I thought everyone does, when they are asleep. Hirschhorn – “I guess neo-progressives will be happy to see Hillary Clinton become the Democratic candidate in 2008. Personally, I never saw the net positive impact of the Clinton presidency, and I am equally pessimistic about a second Clinton presidency.” LOL, was Bill a “progressive?” Is Hillary? The Clintons and Bushes have been working together for years and they report to the same people. And now – to quote Coheed & Cambria – and now, those people have more money than God and can do with it whatever they want and will in coming years. Corruption? You haven’t seen anything like what’s coming. And it started when the SCOTUS decided that the right to spend money on political campaigns equals freedom of speech – yeah, money talks and bs walks. Hirschhorn – “Moreover, I foresee a McCain candidacy that will be brilliantly marketed and sufficient to keep the White House in Republican hands.” We’ll see. A lot of “progressives” seem to think McCain is all right. I don’t, but I’m not really a “progressive.” You know why? Because I don’t believe in progress. Progressives are dreamers. Hirschhorn – “Progressives should be anti-Republican.” Oh sure, tables are turned. The Republicans recall were the party that wanted to eliminate slavery from this country and it used to be that all black people were Republicans. The Democrats were slave holders and still want everyone to be their slaves. THAT’S progress for you. Hirschhorn – “I can understand why progressives will vote for Democrats. What troubles me is the outright excitement and vocal support for Democrats, as if they will be the salvation for the nation.” ROFL! Hirschhorn – “This is what separates progressives from neo-progressives. Neo-progressives genuinely believe that Democrats will finally deliver the political outcomes that have been DREAMED about for a long term. This seems like delusion-driven hope.” Seems like? The entire premise of modern day liberalism is delusion-driven. Hirschhorn – “Conversely, true progressives know in their hearts and minds that lesser-evil Democrats are not what we really need and they will remain committed to finding other political routes to restoring American democracy and BRINGING JUSTICE TO OUR ECONOMY.” Bringing JUSTICE to our economy – commie code words: take from the rich and give to the poor and WE, THE ALMIGHTY LIBS get to oversee the seizures and transfers. John D’Oh – “How does one sign up to become a neo-asshole, and what's wrong with being a traditional old-school asshole anyway?” LOL, great John, maybe we should start a forum, a movement, we’ll allow anyone from any political persuasion to join. We need to draw up a neo-asshole pledge. JBryan – “Plain old asshole has stood me in good stead for decades. I can't imagine the neos are significantly different.” Younger perhaps, or maybe they do some niftier things with theirs than we with ours. LOL. Thanks for posting this tripe, apple. |
