Leftist Manifesto
I like this one too from Teeny Poet.
This is just another leftist manifesto
Harvested from a Baltimore ghetto
Marketed from a hillside in Idaho
Its impossible for me to sit silently by while
People are held without benefit of trial;
Poor folks lose their homes as investment bankers smile
And a nation of millions sits there in dumb denial
Wondering who’ll win American freakin’ Idol
(Complacency- like a cancer, rotting our society!)
I am just a member of the immoral majority
Silly me- I choose death o’er not being free
I don’t want big brother spying on me
I’d choose a thousand 9/11s, you see
Over another bush-esque hijacked presidency
The rednecks may cry foul, but I prefer anarchy;
To this lie of freedom- a corporate controlled “democracy.”
Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels steeped in stupidity.
(Complacency- like a cancer, rotting our society!)
Am I not entitled to have my say?
Yes its my intention to keep getting in your way.
Just to the left of Hugo Chaves is where I plan to stay
This land is my land as much as it is your land,
or is that a notion that’s beyond your meager capacity to understand?
This is just another scathing indictment of capitalism
Where greed is rewarded and power seduces like religion
Where the rich white rulers profit from social division
(Complacency-like a cancer, rotting our society!)
But I’m not buying into the American dream
I won’t blindly root for the imperialistic conquerors known as the home team.

Leftism is a raving pathology pretending to be the real American Conscience.
`Just to the left of Hugo Chaves is where I plan to stay`
Yup. Like Jimmy Carter singing to Pol Pot:
[Zbigniew] Brzezinski not long ago revealed that on July 3, 1979, unknown to the American public and Congress, President Jimmy Carter secretly authorised $500million to create an international terrorist movement that would spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and “destabilise” the Soviet Union…
The CIA called this Operation Cyclone and in the following years poured $4billion into setting up Islamic training schools in Pakistan (Taliban means “student”).
Young zealots were sent to the CIA’s spy training camp in Virginia, where future members of al-Qaeda were taught “sabotage skills” - terrorism.
&
In 1981, President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, said: “I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot.” The US, he added, “winked publicly” as China sent arms to the Khmer Rouge.
In fact, the US had been secretly funding Pol Pot in exile since January 1980. The extent of this support - $85m from 1980 to 1986 - was revealed in correspondence to a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. On the Thai border with Cambodia, the CIA and other intelligence agencies set up the Kampuchea Emergency Group, which ensured that humanitarian aid went to Khmer Rouge enclaves in the refugee camps and across the border. Two American aid workers, Linda Mason and Roger Brown, later wrote:
“The US government insisted that the Khmer Rouge be fed . . . the US preferred that the Khmer Rouge operation benefit from the credibility of an internationally known relief operation.” Under American pressure, the World Food Programme handed over $12m in food to the Thai army to pass on to the Khmer Rouge; “20,000 to 40,000 Pol Pot guerillas benefited,” wrote Richard Holbrooke, the then US assistant secretary of state. I witnessed this. Travelling with a UN convoy of 40 trucks, I drove to a Khmer Rouge operations base at Phnom Chat. The base commander was the infamous Nam Phann, known to relief workers as “The Butcher” and Pol Pot’s Himmler. After the supplies had been unloaded, literally at his feet, he said: “Thank you very much, and we wish for more.”
In terms of screwing up the world order, I think it started with the Neocons and they are still going strong. Jimmy Carter is no neocon and he is a nice and decent man.
In terms of ideology, I like Ron Paul’s.
hey, jed is laughing again. I still like this better. Courtesy of MLK
“Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”
Dhimmi Carter never met a tyrant he did not like. He also unwittingly help raised the Ayatollah Khomeini into power and betrayed the Shah, making the world a more dangerous place. If he was so good, why didn’t he have the confidence to run for a second term?
Because Carter didn’t want to support a puppet government? I think US’s sins in Iran were committed in the 50s, in their involvement of overthrowing democratic elected leader Mossadegh.
Look at the humanitarian work done by Carter, he is a good man. He was not a good president though. He didn’t win the second term mainly because of the failing US economy at that time.
American sub prime crisis is the result of predatory lending boosting up property prices beyond its worth and decent affordability wrt to average earning power of people. The false presumption of ever increasing “investment” values ascribed to make over piles of mostly flimsy make-over timber structures. Then, as even, Soros has pointed out, the common wrong assumption of the housing industry there was that it was ’self regulating’. It wasn’t.
If the Dems, were in power, they would not have been able to change anything related to this matter. For sure, they would have raised taxes, affecting everyone, not just the rich.
Humanitarian work by the baptist minister carter? Well that`s a bit like the conquistadors in S. America. They exchanged gold for God. The peasants got gold, the conquistadors the gold.
Lady Macbeth said it rather nicely: Be a serpent beneath an innocent flower.
Anyway CAIR and the hamas love him, they recently, accidentally burnt down one of his missions in gaza-but that`s a small price for this humanitarian.
Oops: `The peasants got god, the conquistadors the gold`
Thanks to Dhimmi Carter, Iranian President AMadJihad has the means and willingness to start World War III as the fulfillment of some psychotic Shiite prophecy. What a decent man!
Shouldn’t the Shah be responsible for creating the monster that Ayatollah turned out to be?
Here is a good read from RP

“I’d choose a thousand 9/11s, you see
Over another bush-esque hijacked presidency”
I’m as against Bush as the next guy (if not moreso), but I was also in Manhattan on September 11th, and, quite simply, no. I get the sentiment, but there’s a better way to phrase it.
Frankly, 9/11 has been hyped up.
The statistics were too small and it only points to the incompetence of those wh dunnit. The biggie is yet to come and they drool for it.
Then Bush and his stupid ROP nonsense will be really exposed.
Wasn’t the Communists and other Leftist groups who slept with Islamist,s in order to help over throw the Shah, who got the worse of it, when they were summarily executed by the Satanic Knomeini upon ascending power? But Leftists everywhere never learn, they tend to be too narcissistic and think they can outfox the Islamists.
The Shah wasn’t the smartest of tyrants. Instead of doing an Atarturk, he relented to the poupulists’ nonsense. And France too did its part, as well.
But the yet to be discovered Obama has great things in store for Amberika which is the rosebud for the dems:
1965 paper written by Obama’s father, in which he advocates:
— 100% taxation
— communal farms / the elimination of private farming
— the nationalization of businesses owned by “Europeans” and “Asians”.
— “active” measures to bring about a classless society

The Left-Right spectrum is a generalisation invented for easier discourse.
Those who generalise leftism and rightism are generalising a generalisation, which as you would think, amplifies their inaccuracies.
@wits0
Ad hominem argumentum does not undermine any school of thought.
cheers
Left and right still are ideologies
Students at most universities are almost brainwashed into being leftist — and the way they are taught to disagree with their political opponents is by using ad hominem attacks. Conservatives are described over and over as mean-spirited, war-loving, greedy, bigoted, racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, homophobic, sexist, intolerant and oblivious to human suffering.
Such ad hominem labels are the left’s primary rhetorical weapons. So when leftist students are actually confronted with even one articulate conservative, many enter a world of cognitive dissonance. That is one reason why universities rarely invite conservatives to speak: they might change some students’ minds.

hey kawan2, sahabat2, saudara2, friends, kinsmen and englishmen? aiks, salah nombor.

left, right, central, etc are just labels lah.
it’s a fact that land ownership, capitalism makes many slaves to DEBT! yucks. unless, u become a capitalist. by that i mean you own tons of capital not that you service your houses, land etc with loans. if so, you are slave to capitalists, who give $$$ to banks. suckers!

Talking about banks, the local ones, some watchdog comittee needs to be set up to look into the way they charge their customers. I`m totally peeved wiith them.
Banks have no souls - Grapes Of wrath (Steinbeck)
Btw Jed, maybe it has to be revived now, but BNM and Finance Ministry have yet to give an explanation as to how an Offshore Banking Licence was given to someone who didn`t desrve it.
PAS`s Husam raised the matter in Parliament and did much investigating.
Someone in the Finance Ministry or BNM Governor has to step down.
Ad hominem is totally unfettered with the LLL and the lunatic fringe. I’ve known the full diet of Newsweek and Time magazine long before the Net came to be and how confusing and meandering their old takes were. I want none of such anymore.
tyu: U are right. I love those sites haha
