Jeremy Corbyn is the best thing to happen to the Conservative party since Ed Miliband.

I'd have to say you're way out on that one. The best thing to happen to the Tories in the last 20 years was Tony Blair. By moving Labour onto Tory ground he massively shrunk the party's electoral base (he dropped four million votes between '97 and '07) and he got rid of any ideological opposition to Tory policy.

Corbyn is the antithesis of the Nu Labor movement, and may grow the party's base again if given time and room. Problem is that most of the parliamentary party is wedded to the corporate trough which feeds them free lunches and revolving door jobs and directorships, and has lost any semblance of party loyalty or interest in the country's good.

One wonders why. And it's not only America for that matter. Otherwise rghtwing extremists wouldn't get that strong all over the world. Probably because they need someone weaker to kick. And that's exactly what rightwingers present. The only thing.

They offer simple solutions to complex problems....which is about all that the jerks in the base can understand.  Every problem is someone elses fault.  Blame the Mexicans.  Blame the queers.  Blame the Chinese.  Blame everyone except the billionaire cocksuckers who are robbing them blind in the name of "capitalism" which they are told is GOOD.  They can always find someone who is a little different to blame for all their problems.

As I said. Kick down on someone to feel special. That's what they offer. In Europe, their special choice is muslims. They're bad, they're inferior and if you see the fervor in the eyes of these sore losers following the rightwingers, you want to run for the next toilet to throw up.

When it comes to economics, I'm a loser too. Lost everything in the crash. But I would never stoop to that level of depravity. I know exactly who gambled away my money. And I know exactly that I made a mistake in trusting them. Nothing to do with muslims or the even less fortunate.

Oh, and don't forget, when someone finally does blame the billionaire bastards scream "CLASS WARFARE" at the top of your lungs.  Because that's only allowed when they do it.

Reminds me of this fantastic video:


Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

There is God and there is man, it's only a matter of who created whom

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
