My take on this is very similar to the thread I started about Good for America = Bad for Democrat Party . . .
Interesting note in the article was how Marx was "disappointed" when workers were not rebelling because their lives were actually improving . . .
A couple of points though:
1) In both threads, and others similar, no voice of the "left" (insert preferred name here _________ progressive, liberal, Democrat, I don't care) has responded with anything addressing the issue. Only diversions.
2) I don't believe that there is a conspiracy to hold people down or promote any failures, just good intentions that result in being on the wrong side of things.
Nah: QC can't let this one go here. I agree with the "cornspiracy" comment, but clearly Dems bet on defeat due to their long record of real success maintainin' power with the issue. FDR clearly kept America down and a Depression he personnaly made GREAT resulted in a HUGE change of the Cornstatution, (by ignorin' the limits on Federal Government we all ignore to this day). He undoubtably did not know his policies would be such a misserable failure when he "experimented", but the four terms cornvinced Dems that disaster is the road to real power leadin' the dim wits who vote fer 'em n' the ding dongs in the MSM that cheer 'em on.
The defeat they arranged in 1975 produced another very lopsided win fer Dems, n' the dim wits never seem ta get it or John F Kerry would never have attracted the greatest number of dim wit voters in history. SIMPLE OBSERVATION works even if ya only have a single functionin' brain cell.
Some people like Jesse Jackson IMHO
do spend energy and time making a living by telling people how bad their lives are. I do believe
that is intentional, but he is pretty much a non-entity at this point. I
do believe that Democrats have "conspired" to heighten awareness of failures in Iraq. However . . . I believe that was answering to public pressure to stop a War.
N' where did the dim wits' pressure come from?? Think here: QC. It is intentional on the part of the ding dong MSM n' Dem leaders, very clearly they aren't that stupid.
War in general is unpopular, it is a pretty simple train to get on if your goal is to appeal to the masses. So, well intentioned, or selfish, I don't believe that many Democrats sit around and hope that we "fail" in Iraq.
Yes they do QC!
Do they benefit if we fail? Yes. Do they
want the US to look like buffoons, torturers, baby killers? No. I don't really think so.
Then repeatin' what John F Kerry has said most of his adult life is unintentional? Sheeesh give me a break. THEY AREN'T that stupid, dim wits that support 'em maybe.
3) Being invested in poverty, misery and failure is bad, sad and makes me mad not glad, but I don't believe "they" can see through their own BS.
Agree about some dim wit supporters, but leadership knows exactly what they are doin' QC. Or they are dumber then door knobs.
They believe they are helping those who are less fortunate or too stupid to see the "folly" of Iraq. It is very easy to fall into this trap, because it is self aggrandizing to solve these issues for those who can't on their own.
Again, I'd be very curious about our _________ (fill in the blank) friend's thoughts on this. It may look like yet another attack, but these things are simply interesting. No need to be offended . . .
