Libertarian Pharisees
I am trying to reach Libertarians with little success on Facebook: Yeah baby boomers did plenty
wrong. I lecture you about courage and duty because I have fought good
fight all my life. I sleep just fine. You keep throwing it in my face
about not having served in a war theater. So? You imply that I am all
talk and no action? Really? You twist my words out of context, you
deliberately distort what I do, and you make no effort to understand
where I come from. You mock out of ignorance what you do not comprehend.
I have been a militant, union steward in three unions, and have been
run out of good jobs by Hennepin County, by private companies, by the
city of Minneapolis, and stabbed in the back by my labor unions that
sided with Management. I have had workers about to be fired, and they
refused 6 other tamed stewards and demanding me and i saved their jobs
because Management was afraid of my fearless advocacy. I got beat up in
1966 for defending a geek in my home town, a scrawny genius about to be
beaten by a jealous thug at lunch hour. I jumped in between him and got
pounded while he escaped the school. I did not do that because I am
cowardly or selfish. I have always been a radical individualist and have
childhood scars from Hoople and Crystal of mobs of Norwegian and Irish
boys trying to strangle me in 6th grade and 12 boys in 9th grade
throwing ice skates at my head. I have fought for pioneer human rights
and protected class status for all individuals and al individuators, and
that dovetails nicely into the American political and cultural
heritage,You are very smart, very eloquent and perhaps a highly educated
man, but you do not have wisdom. Pharisees were smart and educated but
they did not have wisdom. I will not stay seated, I will not be
silenced. Run your millennial, whiny, disdainful pie-hole. What are you
doing to make things better? What are you doing to save America? What
are you personally putting on the line to bring my Mavellonialist/human
rights program to the public forum? What are you weary, jaded,
intellectually superior, condescending, culturally self-congratulatory
Libertarians doing to work with conservatives to save America/ Get in
the fight and bridge that gap. Be less selfish and less lazy. Be
involved. We need you. America needs you, but you likely will not rally
to help because you always have a brilliant impressive but shallow
justification for saying no and doing nothing. You also have a clique
around you to back up your verbal arguments. I work alone.
