Reply #44: The problem is that sometimes the conservatives have a good point. [View All]

It's true that if you remain unskilled you will find it tougher and tougher to make a living wage. That is neither right or left it us just the facts.

I don't get it. Do you think some saint of a left wing persuasion is going to take us back to the days were everyone could go out and find work no matter what their skills were? Dream on.

The trouble with so many of us on the left is that we are in as much denial as freepers are about the shit they believe in.

I say it over and over and get called a conservative but the truth is that you are responsible for much of what happens to you.

Being a Dem doesn't mean you leave person responsibility in the trash can!

It is also true that illegals do work we don't want to do. That isn't supporting illegal immigration it is the truth! Farm labor has always been done by migrants. Whether from Oklahoma in the dust bowl days to illegals today. The Chinese built the railroads from Sacramento to Omaha. Why? Because there wasn't anyone else to do the work. Times don't change much nor do opinions of those living in them.
