...to clarify some points. The value of the issue is a thousand times more than an area of this small islands. "The Great British Empire" collapsed when India gained independence. But british reactionaries desperately try to keep its fragments. For the apologists of colonialism possesion of Pitcairn island is a symbol that Empire is alive. Mutiny of the "Bounty" sailors throw the gauntlet the ...
Recently I participated in 2 small demonstrations. The first one was quite simple: Have banners against war and/or other banners for "green jobs." I was holding an anti-war banner. Cars mostly honked at approval. The 2nd one was to protest against Palin. In this one I got a good look at "the enemy" (in a sense); most of the supporters (for Palin) were quite reactionary, borderline (IMO) racist...
.... The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb. Orangutans are skeptical Of changes in their cages, And the zookeeper is very fond of rum. Zebras are reactionaries, Antelopes are missionaries, Pigeons plot in secrecy, And hamsters turn on frequently. What a gas! You gotta come and see At the zoo." So yeah, shifty eyed pigeons and rum.
... masters of psycological torture to a crudely civilized race of proto-Roman bloodsport worshipers whose city, far from dark, has more matches than a smoker's loungue; the mice are made cowards rather than reactionaries, and given (like the rats) far too urban, far too human a lifestyle for my liking. The human kingdom is stripped of the grit where a father might sell his daughter ofr a blanket ...
... White Old Party, I mean the Republicans can hang on basically indefinitely from their power base in White Evangelical Land. This country will have a significant population of white rural Christian reactionaries for the foreseeable future, and the Republicans can continue to consolidate their hold on this group. This will effectively insure the persistence of the party, and when the Dems screw up ...
...the state Senate. The GOP is down to a single-vote majority. If the GOP loses its majority in New York's legislature, the power of incumbency will begin to protect progressives -- not knee-jerk reactionaries. For the first time in living memory, the state legislature and governor will act in unison, able to pass legislation the entire party agrees on. Able to pass legislation the majority of the ...
... is research out there, so i've heard (mentioned in time or newsweek as a sidebar) that links all sorts of junk to adhd, autism, and many other childhood mental issues. so basically, these reactionaries are blaming all this shit on normal modern life. granted, fruit and veg plus PE would be great for their overall health- NOBODY is dumb enough to argue that. this is all very complicated chemical ...
... are always two parties; the establishment and the movement" Throughout both life and history classes that observation holds amazingly true. The world seemingly tends towards dichotomy; revolutionaries vs reactionaries, liberals vs conservatives, us vs them. Emerson's classification of the two parties as "the establishment and the movement" left me wondering. I agree for the most part that ...
...a New Critical formalism for which he reserved his wittiest contempt: "there was growing up in Vanderbilt University, one of the few institutions of learning in the American South, a little coterie of political reactionaries, under the leadership of their English professor, John Crowe Ransom. . . . Their idol was T. S. Eliot, Classicist, Anglo-Catholic, Royalist. . . . They approved of Ezra Pound ...
... guess. I'm not some freaky OMG RON PAUL advocate (not that there's anything WRONG with you if you are? just that all the one's I've seen/heard about are crazy reactionary and that's terrifying...reactionaries?)...and I will probably vote for Obama. I just thought I'd put that out there in LJ. I know I've said some things about it on the air. Things that have made people gasp... assassination!? Oh...
