Liberals believe we are all in this together. Conservatives believe it's everyone for himself. How can you be so selfish when you have benefited so much from others? Cindy Sheehan lost her son. What have you sacrificed for the war? In my view, to use your word, you are full of crap as are all the right waing chicken hawks.

Mhmmmm...
Where are your clothes from? Where's your car-parts from? Where's your furniture from.
10 to a penny some of it was made by children working in horrible conditions in India and Indonesia.
You see. It's cheaper to close down a factory in the US and start it up somewhere else. That's global capitalism. And that's benefitting from the misfortune and poverty of others.
Listen to Dylan's: Sundown on the union.
It's on the Infidels album. It's really quite sharp 🙂
