I'm seeing a disturbing trend in America lately, and that is the amount of ill will, rancor, and all-out hatred that is being directed at successful and profitable corporations. These corporations, which are directly responsible for the vibrant economy and standard of living we enjoy today, are continually finding themselves the targets of anti-business leftists. You want examples? That's easy. How about Al "Internet" Gore's recent attacks on the oil companies or the drug companies? Sure, he leaves out the fact that if it weren't for these companies we would be riding bicycles around and dying at age 40, but what the hell .. it's "in vogue" for liberals to attack successful corporations and rich people, so let's cheer Gore on .. rah, rah, rah!

Nobody is saying that prescription drugs are cheap, but if Gore thinks that the kind of research that will cure cancer can be done for free, he's on some drugs of his own! And as far as the oil companies are concerned, if they saw an opportunity to increase their profits in the Midwest for a while, who is the government to say any different? Socialists like Gore think that the government should step in and regulate all prices. Uh uh, Al. Ain't gonna happen. The purpose of business is to turn a profit. Sorry if that offends leftists, but profit is why we are where we are today.

I'm sick of liberals whining about "sweat shops" and how children in Third World countries are being paid a dollar a day to put together sneakers for ten hours straight. Of course, if it wasn't for that dollar, the child would probably just curl up in a ball and die, but hey .. let's look past the obvious and take the opportunity to attack the corporations. That "tiny" salary pays for food that keeps the child alive, but let's ignore the fact that companies like Nike are working hard to feed poor children and let's attack them instead. Yeah, what a great idea.

And most of all, I'm sick of the leftist attack on Microsoft! This is the most transparent leftist interventionist government intrusion on behalf of angry and befuddled competitors in our country's history! Guess what, folks, if you can't compete, you don't deserve to be in business. Socialists think they can rely on a jack-booted government to kill off successful corporations. Sad, really .. but it's not going to happen. When G. W. Bush takes office, I'll bet a lot of Microsoft's "problems" will go away. Sayonara, Al. I'm sick of you all.

I'm seeing a disturbing trend in America lately, and that is the amount of ill will, rancor, and all-out hatred that is being directed at not-so-successful and creative/innovating individuals. These inventive people, who are directly responsible for the vibrant economy and standard of living we enjoy today, are continually finding themselves the targets of selfish Right Wingers. You want examples? That's easy. How about Al "Internet" Gore's recent attacks on the oil companies or the drug companies? Sure, he brings up the fact that if it weren't for these companies we would be not be forced to be riding bicycles around and bankrupt at age 40, but what the hell .. it's "in vogue" for right-wingers to attack individual rights and poor people, so let's cheer Bush on .. rah, rah, rah!

Nobody is saying that prescription drugs are cheap, but if Bush thinks that the kind of research that will cure cancer should cost more than the average person can reasonably afford, he's on some drugs of his own! And as far as the oil companies are concerned, if they saw an opportunity to rape the citizens of the Midwest for a while, who are the individual voting people to say any different? Monopolists like Bush think that the government should step in and regulate all personal freedoms and liberty. Uh uh, George. Ain't gonna happen. The purpose of life is to turn a have a family and be free of oppression and personal invasions. Sorry if that offends right-wingers, but individual freedom is why we are where we are today.

I'm sick of right-wingers whining about "sweat shops" and how children in Third World countries should be paid less than a dollar a day to put together sneakers for ten hours straight. They have retarded rhetoric such as, if it wasn't for that dollar, the child would probably just curl up in a ball and die, but hey .. let's look past the obvious and take the opportunity to attack those who don't have the best education and background. That "tiny" salary pays for food that keeps the child alive, but not much of anything else, but let's look at the fact that companies like Nike are working hard to take advantage of poor children and let's enslave them as well. Yeah, what a great idea.

And most of all, I'm sick of the right-wing sympathy for Microsoft! This is the most transparent right-wing corporate intrusion on behalf of angry and befuddled individuals in our country's history! Guess what, folks, if you can't compete, it's because you have been strong-armed by a monopoly. Right-wingers think they can rely on lies and apathy to kill off truely innovating people. Sad, really .. but it's not going to happen. When Al Gore takes office, I'll bet a lot of Microsoft's "problems" will get worse. Sayonara, George. Don't forget your responsibility in causing the savings & loan (FSLIC) fiasco of the 80s, and all those small farms taken away from individual, hardworking families, then sold at pennies on the dollar to large agricultural companies! And don't forget your fathers famous lie "No new taxes!", it may have just been a play on phonetics - "Know new taxes"

Vote Libertarian, stay away from NewSpeak words like "Left-wing" and "Right-Wing"!
