Future Of The Working Class - Monday, August 3

[irishbobcat]

I thought Dan Moadus might make a 17th congressional campaign stop to learn about the future of the working class------but then I forgot, he's out to destroy it!

First off why do some working-class guys vote for the corporate class? It's because they are corporate tools and love bending over for the boss.The GOP fired their facts checkers years ago and hate intellectuals. This event featured Mike Stout and Charlie McCollister two guys who spent time working at Pittsburgh area steel mills which makes them working-class not intellectuals.
 
I've know both of them for over a decade and they tell it like it is. Unfortunately, some people can't handle the truth.

Yep sorry I couldn't make it but concrete forms don't get built by themselves.  Also had a couple of unexpected guests, so a very productive evening.

Missed Rick at tonight's talk on how the Labor-Green Alliance will eventually win out over the conservative policies of Reagan, Bush, and Dubya.........

Saw many Green Party members in attendance........building for the future.....

Progressive Democrats  vote Green in 2010~~~~~~~~

So what's so evil about doing an honest days work rather that sitting around feeding at the public troft?

Even liberals believe in an honest days work.

[irishbobcat]

God forbid a conservative actually sitting down with a bunch of intellectuals and having a discussion....he might learn something and denounce conservatisim...

[Rick Rowlands]

Oh darn, at 7 pm I'll be too busy acting like a member of the working class to sit around with a bunch of intellectuals talking about it.
