I get out all the time and I’m a member of a public service Union (the UFA) and it’s neither conjecture nor opinion that working class Americans are overwhelmingly Conservative and traditionalist in their views.<br /><br />This is a country that’s at least 2 to 1 Conservative to Liberal (and that‘s with the most generous of polls). It’s not “the rich” who are Conservative, in fact, most of them are very Liberal and that’s in their best interests, MORE government regulation and control “freezes the free-for-all of the market in place.” Fewer new ideas enter the market, and so to, fewer competitors.<br /><br />I LOVE exchanging views with those who disagree with me, but I insist they back up their conjecture and opinions with facts, or be embarrassed.<br /><br />The fact here is that there’s no sizable “working class far-Left” in America.<br /><br />What’s more, that’s a shrinking ideology and its shrinkage is accelerating the worse the economy gets under the current Left-of-Center administration.<br /><br />Don’t blame me for the facts not being on your side.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-51739339472290968032010-04-08T22:12:33.253-04:002010-04-08T22:12:33.253-04:00Geez, you would think a guy who hardly ever gets ...Geez, you would think a guy who hardly ever gets any feed back, would be tickled pink to actually respond to someone.There's no oxymoron here you have to get out more, and stop dealing in cardboard cut-outs.theotherjimmyolsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623263920208316955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-60660435067534372842009-12-05T19:32:46.343-05:002009-12-05T19:32:46.343-05:00"...as an ultra liberal far left working clas..."...as an ultra liberal far left working class kind of guy...." (t.o. Jimmy Olson)<br /><<br /><<br />Wait a minute, that phrase "far left working class kind of guy" is an oxymoron.<br /><br />People who work for a living DO NOT support higher taxes, or increased social spending, or more foreign aid, or an "expanded public option" in healthcare designed to shift the burden of paying for healthcare FROM businesses and Municipalities (currently, some 97% of American workers are covered by their employers...of the estimated "40 million uninsured Americans," an estimated 17 MILLION are opt-outs, generally younger, healthier workers, who opt out of their workplace health insurance in favor of increased take-home pay, another estimated 15 MILLION are ILLEGAL immigrants, and as such are NOT "Americans"....leaving about 8 MILLION (appx 3%) of American workers uninsured) TO the workers themselves.<br /><br />The current Pelosi-care would create a public option that would provide a bare-bones expanded public option that virtually EVERY employer would opt to put their employees on. Tha option would offered heavily restricted care (many state programs cap spending at $10,0000/per patient per year), rationing of care....in fact that's already being done by focusing on cutting reimbursements to physicians who send patients for more and expensive testing (read oncologists and heart specialists), and "paying for it" with CUTS to Medicare.<br /><br />Most working people no more like the idea of paying MORE for LESS care than they do the prospect of an inane and prohibitive carbon tax based on the now proven-to-be junk science behind "anthropomorphic global warming."<br /><br />As to your question about who on the left loves Sharia Law...well, I think you meant to post that under the previous post "Misplaced Priorities," but in answer to your question, MANY on the far-Left admire such hellholes and they even embrace their Third World values, such as Harold Koh (tabbed by President Barack Obama to be the lead legal advisor to the State Department, whom, in a 2007 speech, stated, “In an appropriate case, he didn’t see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.”<br /><br />And Mr. Koh's view is NOT all that rare in the far-Left precincts.<br /><br />SEE: http://workingclassconservative.blogspot.com/2009/11/perhaps-now-would-be-good-time-to.htmlJMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-29729187623263738172009-12-05T13:29:27.582-05:002009-12-05T13:29:27.582-05:00I know your probably not used to hearing from some...I know your probably not used to hearing from someone with his brain still intact,but as an ultra liberal far left working class kind of guy I'd be interested in a list of all those countries which stone people, that I am so in love with.I need help with that because I can"t think of any off the top of my head.
