The left wing

[JerrySeinfeld]

Think about this:

The left wing is comprised largely of people who never really created any enterpise (and most call enterprises BAD things ), expect things to be handed to them and and don't believe in fighting for something.

But because they typically walk up and down the streets demonstrating against war, shouting about equalization for the poor, saving the world and other lofty vague goals and just generally thinking pretty damn good about themselves for being such nice, moral people.

The problem is this: I BELIEVE ALOT OF LEFTIES ADOPT THESE EMPTY PLATITUDES BECAUSE WITHOUT HAVING TO CREATE, WORK OR BUILD ANYTHING, THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY "BETTER PEOPLE" THAN THE FILTHY MONEY GRUBBING RIGHT WING.

The left platform is basically a bunch of loser who can elevate themselves to greatness JUST BY ADOPTING AN IDEOLOGY.

What a thought.

God help us if any of their un-thought out, pet ideas du jour to save the world ever actually get adopted.

With this climate change bullshit, we're on the verge of being hijacked by these morons. And Suzuki is at the front of the line. Absolutely no concept of economics. Just a do-gooder blow hard.

Wow. A thread based on a strawman. You're definitely worth taking seriously.

hey - it's just my impression of Lefties. If anyone wants to contribute they can, otherwise the thread will die a natural death.

[Who's Doing What?]

"The Left Wing" ?!?!

Get a freaking life.

Sounds just like the right wing. Most people never really create any enterprise.

maybe - but at least the right wing doesn't consider it the enemy

I stopped there. It was already bad enough .

Your rant isn't credible.

George Soros and William Buffett are both of the 'liberal' persuasion, just to name two. They are both self-made multi-billionaires.

The left is far larger than the 'dirty hippies protesting the war' that you see so enamoured of.

Yes - there is what I call the "gandma commie" syndrome. It's very prevalent in Victoria.

People with lots of money and long in the tooth start getting altruistic a la Maslow.

But it's a pretty strong theory in the younger college age - 35 segment of the left.

The left practice the politics of envy and believe in rewarding failure by punishing success.

[JerrySeinfeld]

Yep.

That's why doggy's such a sniveller at his internet cafe job.

[Black Dog]

The left practice the politics of envy and believe in rewarding failure by punishing success.

As demonstrated by notable lefty failures like this loser.

[Michael Bluth]

As demonstrated by notable lefty failures like this loser.

Hmmm, the founder of one of the hardest fighting and most successful businesses in history is a leftist?

He made his money and he deserves to give it to whatever cause he sees fit.

That doesn't make him a leftist. That makes him the ultimate icon of what a successful businessman should be.

No shit. How did I know cordouroy bob...er I mean BLACK DOG would take his eyes off the "plumpers" magazine at his internet cafe job long enough to scour the internet for an example of a businessman who gave some money to charity and gaze proudly at his work like he's actually said something profound.

[sideshow]

I'd like some of what Jerry is smoking. It seems to distort reality more than anything I have ever heard of.

Isn't that a bit of a sweeping generalization. Maybe they believe in regulation because they don't want corporations to take advantage of smaller businesses. As for not fighting for anything, it's called non-violence dude.

But because they typically walk up and down the streets demonstrating against war, shouting about equalization for the poor, saving the world and other lofty vague goals and just generally thinking pretty damn good about themselves for being such nice, moral people.

Yeah, Gandhi and Nelson Mandela are the biggest nuts out there.

The left platform is basically a bunch of loser who can elevate themselves to greatness JUST BY ADOPTING AN IDEOLOGY.

What is the left platform, apparently social democratic governments have a much better standard of living then we do.

God help us if any of their un-thought out, pet ideas du jour to save the world ever actually get adopted.

They have, look at most Scandinavian countries, along with The Netherlands.

Yeah, not to mention all of those radical crazies known as "scientists", who are advancing this claim to destroy the economy for apparently no good reason at all.

No shit.

Internet Cafe job, that sounds like a kickass job. Plumpers magazine, isn't that a magazine with nude pics of morbidly obese women.

Either way, whats the point of this thread.

Who said he was loser, he's an elitists one worlder cultural Marxist with Sanfrancisco values.

Try to keep up, buddy: the fact that he's a successful businessman is not what makes him a leftist. His political affiliation (Democrat) and support of leftist causes (see: the Gates Foundation) does.

Who said he was loser, he's an elitists one worlder cultural Marxist with Sanfrancisco values.

So tell me, genius: how does that fit in with this:

Did you not just answer your own question. Do try to keep up.

[Black Dog]

By your definition of leftist, B.Max, Bill Gates should be unsuccessful at business because he's a leftist.

If leftists believe, as you say, in "rewarding failure by punishing success" they'd probably be pretty crappy business people. This getting through yet?

Perhaps you can explain to me, using your theory, why Bill Gates is donating billions of dollars to eliminating diseases in Africa?

No, that is your conclusion that you are reading in.

Are you sure about that? I mean, what is so enterprise-oriented about cronyism, nepotism, classism, deference to tradition, self-delusion and resistance to reason?
