Far Left Malcontents, Good or Bad ?

In response to "The Malcontents: Volume 1",

I suggest the following:

History evidenced that like slavery and women's rights, the establishment will never yield power, control, wealth, position, and will never grant others their due rights unless those who are entitled to them stand up defiantly and demand them. Even Mahatma Gandhi was compelled to go "far left" in order to achieve some degree of liberty from Britain for the Indians. It was not women's or the Indian's responsibility or obligation to concern themselves with the inconveniences that their demands for their equal rights created for some others. If they only acted from a perspective of concern for the inconvenience of others, they could never initiate the first action to achieve what belongs to them. That Clinton mistook what the fallout from promoting the gay agenda, to the degree that he initially did, would cause him, was his responsibility singularly. From the perspective of gays, they are one of the last institutionally oppressed groups in this country who are being systematically deprived of their constitutional rights. While it surprises me that they have not been more demanding and proactive than they are; because they certainly could have become more belligerent or violent, they will be given nothing within this society unless they demand it, and leave it to others to assuage their own issues with the facts.

In fact, I consider myself to be on the far left, and to be fiscally and constitutionally conservative, while supporting very progressive solutions to very aggressively progressive problems. From my perspective of being conservative, the left's keynote positions and policies are for the welfare of this country's people, constitution, responsible and accountable government, environment, economy, security, and individual freedoms and liberties. I know of no one of my ideology who would sacrifice their beliefs for a few dollars. In fact, most of those who share my beliefs sacrifice far better paying occupations so that they can work in fields which they believe will protect and promote the welfare of all that they believe in, other than money. We do not eschew or reject wealth, and in fact embrace it, but not unjustly at another's expense. However, I proudly concede that I am a "MALCONTENT"! I adamantly object to the status quo while believing that business has corrupted our government to the degree that the ballot box is temporarily ineffective, and I refuse to accept or resign myself to it without making every effort to rectify it. I believe it is my obligation to Jefferson, Franklin, Washington and every patriot who has laid down their life to preserve the "OPPORTUNITY" to revive, reclaim, and reaffirm the freedoms and liberties which their efforts afforded us, to make every effort to fight the compromise on these values which userers, exploiters, thieves, liars, and the corporate right types will always make.

    • You are the bomb common. I have spent my life in health care or social services because I thought it was important to contribute to society. I have to tell you that the changes I have seen in the past 35 years are astonishing. Frankly a profit driven health care system is totally morally bankrupt. People used to go into Medicine or nursing or other social services to give comfort and aid and releive suffering, far fewer do so anymore. There are far too many entering these feilds to make money and that is all. Look at that jerk Rick Scott in FL. huge Medicare fraud and now that he is in office he is trying to force the state use of his lab services for mandatory drug testing of state employees. My Senator here Mr Barasso is a physician and has the compassion of Ebenezer Scrooge prior to his epiphany
