Well, **** *** too

Most likely there are bloggers who think, “My opinion means something. I have wisdom and good writing to offer to the educated class.”

Get a life. You have a May West-inflated ego. Here’s proof.

There was an election in Britain. Pollsters and news readers were wrong – wrong, wrong – in their predictions. Liberal/Progressive/Labourites don’t know what to do. Ergo:

“Rebecca Roache, Research Fellow and Senior Research Associate at Oxford, was moved to anger by the Conservative victory in the recent British election.

“’One of the first things I did after seeing the depressing election news this morning was check to see which of my Facebook friends ‘like’ the pages of the Conservatives or David Cameron, and unfriend them. (Thankfully, none of my friends ‘like’ the UKIP page.) Life is too short, I thought, to hang out with people who hold abhorrent political views, even if it’s just online. …

“’[T]he view that I have arrived at today is that openly supporting a political party that—in the name of austerity—withdraws support from the poor, the sick, the foreign, and the unemployed while rewarding those in society who are least in need of reward, that sells off our profitable public goods to private companies while keeping the loss-making ones in the public domain, that boasts about cleaning up the economy while creating more new debt than every Labour government combined, that wants to scrap the Human Rights Act and (via the TTIP) hand sovereignty over some of our most important public institutions to big business—to express one’s support for a political party that does these things is as objectionable as expressing racist, sexist, or homophobic views. Racism, sexism, and homophobia are not simply misguided views like any other; views that we can hope to change through reasoned debate (although we can try to do that). They are offensive views. They are views that lose you friends and respect—and the fact that they are socially unacceptable views helps discourage people from holding (or at least expressing) them, even where reasoned debate fails. Sometimes the stick is more effective than the carrot.

“’For these reasons, I’m tired of reasoned debate about politics—at least for a day or two. I don’t want to be friends with racists, sexists, or homophobes. And I don’t want to be friends with Conservatives either.’”

(Well, I will not be friends with the sodomite, anti-democracy folks, either.)

Last week, PM David Cameron’s political career was dead

Dead. Dead. Dead.

But, lo! Voters speaketh not as pollsters, pundits, political analysts and Labour Party members were led to believe! Nay, nay.

Cameron’s Conservatives got 51 percent of the vote and 331 seats in Parliament, while favored Progressive/Labour polled 36 percent and 232 seats.

“The conventional wisdom held that progressivism, and its appeal to working class voters who have struggled to keep their heads above water since the onset of the global recession in 2008, would be the Conservative Party’s undoing.”

Said Labour’s David Miliband: “I am still fighting for the big issues in this election and I am still fighting because there is a huge choice between whether the country is run for the most rich and most powerful or a Labour government that puts working people first.”

Rather than put “working people first,” U.S. Progressive/Democrats want to save the Middle Class through more taxes and government telling people what to do and how to do it.
