A Cool Quote

There's some back and forth at the Sacramento Bee over Bruce Maiman's commentary about Siskiyou County's desire to form the State of Jefferson. Many from the Left seem to be seething over the idea of someone not wanting to be part of California.

I loved this line from one of the commentators:

"I have noticed that when the Right complains, it is against the establishment. The Left tends to rail against the individual."

I'm not sure that's always true, but it sure fits in this case.

I would say seething as much as giggling. If it was ever a serious proposal, then the seething might be appropriate.

So the right lumps everyone together and the left is more discerning? What is your point?

That's not what he's saying. It's more like the Right complains about the establishment (government) interfering with the individual. The left complains about individuals interfering with government.

Our counterfeit "Lefties" here like to create their icons of greed to publicly smear both the targeted corporate owner and the corporate capitalist system. These personal attacks which our "democratic Jon's cohorts in character assassination exemplifies with their orchestrated attack on a school board member? speech plagarism for crying out loud when you have the likes of Salzman in high office advisor cheating voters with false data? Progs are dipping into the ADL/AIPAC smear tactics because so many Jews, e.g. political propagandist NCJ Birstener, and school board members voting to sack the Johnson, even myself sticking up for Gentile Affirmative Action against 2% Jewish control freaks, Rightwing and Left, are at the center of Humboldt political activism.
