ORIGINAL: farglebargle
Why has the blood of Freedom and Liberty been diluted so much to produce such apathy today?
Welfare?
The Nanny State?
'Thing is FargleBargle, the above is absurd.
Ask yourself which political group are most active in protesting government policy in places like Iraq?
Now, I know in England it is the left, and I'll take a wild stab in the dark that in the US it is the left.
Seriously, when was the last time the right involved themselves in mass public protest in any country?
Yeah, the left believe in social provision for disadvantaged groups, but they're the ones out there marching in London, Manchester and all over the world against invasions in Iraq.
'Problem with the right is that they're too busy worrying about their private property. They've been completely and utterly conned. The establishment want you to feel secure with your private property, so that you continue to invest and keep the economy ticking over, from which they take the lion's share, and, by the way, they share the same values as the right i.e. the freedom to chase individual business initiatives (above all else) is their mantra, too.
Seriously, the last time the right made a public political statement in any country (bar fascism)?
