Left Wing Losers

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton proposed that the Democratic Party stop squabbling and unite in order to be a stronger force in American politics. An excellent point in my book, as, continual Bush blunders aside, the Democrats keep getting their ass beat in elections. So why not come with a united, strong front that can finally chip away at the Republican Fear Machinery?

Instead, left-wing nutjobs complain, complain, complain. They're worried about sacrificing their ideals, that evil corporations will take over the world, that an endangered animal may occasionally die, that people will continue driving places in cars that use gas. And while that's obviously a parody of the left wing, their very real and meaningful complaints (Iraq, Rove, abortion) get lost in the unrealistic and unbending positions some of these left-wingers take on trivial positions.

Simply put, these people don't understand the importance of WINNING.

When I was working for slave wages at the Washington State Democrats, I repeatedly heard our chairman tell large crowds of people that his job was to get more Democrats elected. Wait a second, I thought, isn't your job to promote the Democratic party platform and build on Democratic traditions of supporting working families, the old, the poor and the homeless?

The truth is, you can't do any of that unless you win. When you win, you set the rules. You can select Supreme Court judges. You can cut money from PBS's budget. You can start wars on a lie. You have the spotlight and the megaphone and hopefully a nice tap dance routine. But you need to win. You can work towards improving environmental policies and shoring up business regulations -- but only when you win.

Furthermore I'm sickened by constant super-liberals' attacks on corporations. "They're inhumane," they say, "they exploit workers and screw everybody to make money." Occasionally, that's true. But corporations provide jobs, provide useful products for fair prices, and make life better for the vast majority of people. Think you could get a flight to Japan for $500 without corporations? Think you could get In-N-Out Burger for $5 without corporations? You're dreaming. Besides, most companies fail--starting one is a risky proposition. And what most uberliberals forget is that successful corporation was once just a few people and an idea that, through hard work and luck, WON the battle of the marketplace.

Liberals, celebrate winning. Yelling epithets from the sideline does no good. Listen to Hillary, unite, and win back the country please.
