Friends: 36 | Just a matter of time I guess. Hope it's IN TIME and we have overestimated some climate forcings. |

Friends: 8 | So, the lefties protested the (then) upcoming war on Iraq and now the majority of the world agrees. The lefties saw hybrids as the wave of the future and now even the stodgiest automakers are falling into line. The lefties see the religious right and neocons as out of sync and more and more the population as a whole is coming around. The lefties saw clear cutting as environmentally harmful and now we have laws supporting that position. The lefties saw global warming as a worldwide disaster and even tho the largest companies funded all sorts of studies to disprove the facts, now they are coming around. The lefties still see corporate abuse, national single payer health care, social security fund raiding, nuclear waste storage, shrinking middle class, discrepancies between highest paid and lowest paid as a problem, money influencing politics, ...oh, you get it, all as serious concerns which need to be addressed. Why oh why are the righties so slow to acknowledge what is so obvious? Sooner or later they will buckle under, why not now?

The list can go on - face it - both the left or the right have had their share of successes and failures as any fair-minded, educated person would acknowledge. So I wouldn't - in that oh so typical lefty smug (and frankly, offensive) manner - assume the left is so superior to the right. BTW - just to correct the record, the hybrid wasn't invented by a bunch of lefties - it was contrived by a mean, evil corporation making evil - yes - that evil word - PROFITS! And if you check the Priuschat poll you will see plenty of conservatives embracing it and buying it. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mirza @ Jan 21 2007, 05:48 PM) [snapback]378821[/snapback]</div> Quote:

Friends: 0 | Lefties of the past - assuming what you say is correct - probably weren't spot on - but from what I've seen in the past years... there is STRONG reason for the smug factor. PC started out on the L - and is more 'centrist' as more of the general population moves on board. Reagan was great - that is if you worship money. |

Why does anyone that doesn't support Bush and the complete corporate control of the state automatically get labelled as some sort of 1950's caricature of a communist? It's sooooo boring after a while. At least put some creativity into it. Thanks! | |

Eight long years of republicans attacking Bill Clinton wasting time and millions of dollars of MY money playing 'gotchya' (and not succeeding), then having the audacity to hope we as a nation would simply overlook the waste of money and missed opportunities and six even longer years of ...junior... and all the damage he has done to our country, while they offer nothing in return. Don't appreciate my smugness? I'm not exactly fond of it either, but have found no other way to register my disapproval of wasted time, wasted money wasted opportunities and wasted lives over the last 14 (and counting) years. It's my way of registering outright disgust. Wanna shut me up (please!) Change the negativeness, and lowered expectations which the repubs have ingrained on our society. Feel helpless to change society? Join with others who are at least trying. Wanna egg me and my ilk on? Keep up the BS. | |
