Complain, complain, complain. That’s all these leftists do these days. Unpatriotic cry-babies, all of them, who can’t find the good in anything anymore. First, they hate the tax cut. Then they want more money for health care and not the military. They’re traitors, most of them, and dangerous.
I heard from a guy at work that some of them are outside agitators. Hell, now they’re even trying to stir up trouble over “workers’ rights”: A whole mess of them worry for a bunch of people sewing volleyballs in a basement of some warehouse – something they like to call “sweat shops.”
I call them offices.
I mean, come on, “sweat shops?” A little hard work never hurt anybody. It builds character, if you ask me – the exact same spirit that built this great nation to be what it is today: Democratic and free, fair and balanced from the White House right on down.
And on a side note, I highly doubt that anyone over in Indonesia is breaking a sweat. I went to Foot Locker twice last week, and they were sold out of the new Kobe Bryants. I mean, how can you complain about being over-worked when there are barely enough goods here to go around?
Oh, and the other day, some activist comes up to me talking about “living wages” and all this other Commie crap. He tries to tell me that companies like Nike or some electronics corporation won’t even pay its workers enough money for food and shelter.
Well, what do they really expect? All it takes to make it in the world is a little self-determination. Plus, some of the goods coming out of Southeast Asia are downright awful, if you ask me. My Nintendo Gamecube broke three times last month.
I agree that the quality American craftsmen deserve honest wages, but not some Vietnamese widow who can’t even snap a plastic button onto a circuit board. Oh, but her children are starving, they say, because she gets chained to the machinery and they have to work, too.
Well, you know what Darwin said about evolution and the strongest surviving and all. Tough luck. Maybe if those people had worked a little harder, they could actually support their families without all this fancy financial aid from evil activists who want to steal our tax dollars and make all these great products too expensive to afford.
Everyone understands that the market knows best. It always has. Supply and demand. Free trade. These are the things that matter; what makes this country great. America sure isn’t about some two-bit liberal spy trying to put a daisy in my friend’s machine gun. Or some intellectual telling me about how Bush is ruining the world with war and that American interests are not necessarily the only ones out there that need to be taken into consideration.
With that depressing leftist attitude, we would never be where we are today. We’d always trying to coddle everyone: Infants dying of AIDS. Mothers chained to sewing machines. Where does the list end, Ralph Nader?
True, it may not be the best thing to work for one meal a day, but – hey – let them take care of their own. We Americans have work to do. Soon the world will be free of terror and democracy will rule the world.
The hard-working men will have houses, jobs and wives – and if it takes a little bit of hard work on the part of a bunch of Peruvian orphans (who don’t even know better in the first place) to do it, then that’s just how it has to be.
