[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]
Leftists (as opposed to Liberals or Progressives) are not critical thinkers, any more than Glenn Beck (reactionary right-wing) is a critical thinker. If you want evidence of this, witness the recent nonsense in Wisconsin, whereby angry Leftists argued for maintenance of an unaffordable, unsupportable status quo ante and Michael Moore gabbled on about having a “right” to rich people’s money. No logic, no critical thinking, and no fairness. Plenty of sanctimony to go around, though.[/quote]
The “rich” are the ones who caused the financial crisis and the pension crisis. After giving them trillions of dollars (as thanks for destroying our economy, I guess), and then extending tax cuts so the speculators on Wall Street can use all their newfound money (courtesy of the taxpayers) to ramp up commodities prices around the world…yeah, public employees are going to fight when the bill for Wall Street’s party comes due, and it’s handed to them.
