Leftist Grandpa

These are the writings of a middle-aged guy trying to be as moderate as I possibly can. Here is where I put down in words the stuff that comes pourin' outta my head, and do my bitchin' and complainin' about the government or whatever else pisses me off. Everything and everyone are fair game. These are my ramblings, rantings and ravings with the occasional twist of humor and/or sarcasm. All this while doing my part to fight the Fascists.

WE HAVE BECOME A NATION OF FOOLS BEING RULED BY IDIOTS CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE JACKASSES.- - - GRANDPA EDDIE 01/02/10

"Fascism should more properly be called 'corporatism' because it is the total merging of corporate and state power."

-Benito Mussolini

It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees. -- Emiliano Zapata

My Liberal Identity:

You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

QUOTES TO CONSIDER

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. -- Thomas Jefferson

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. -- John F. Kennedy

Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it. -- Mark Twain

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross. -- Sinclair Lewis

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. -- John Adams

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction. -- Blaise Pascal

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere. -- Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.
