Over at the Air Vent Jeff is discussing politics. In the comments a classic left/right confrontation is going on. To cap off my most recent spate of comments I had this to say:
Let me explain in simple terms:
1. The Left – “the best way forward is…”
2. The Right – “the best way forward is…”
3. The Crooks – “How much can we steal?”
And they do this by preying on the best instincts (if not the best thinking) of both sides. “We want to help.”
The right does not remember the iconic poster “We are from the Government and we are here to help”. Or worse maybe they do want the guns turned on their fellow citizens.
And the left? Well Jim Crow was a government program. Instigated at the Federal level by a Democrat.
The government can’t fix it. The government can only make it worse.
