No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.

The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.

If the most liberal man that's ever been in office can get elected when 20 percent of the population identifies as liberal then I think we can elect a conservative when 40 percent of the population identifies themselves as conservative.

Man trains woman.
Women become conservative
Where men are possessive.
Women grow liberal
Where men are democrates.
Women are molded by men

What used to be called liberal is now called radical, what used to be called radical is now called insane, what used to be called reactionary is now called moderate, and what used to be called insane is now called solid conservative thinking.

We must be both more conservative and more liberal than most students of Christian worship: conservative in holding exclusively to God's commands in Scripture as our rule of worship, and liberal in defending the liberty of those who apply those.

If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested.
Around me I saw women overworked and underpaid, doing men's work at half men's wages, not because their work was inferior, but because they were women.

Labor omnia vincit
Labor omnia vincit
Labor conquers everything
If we black and brown men work, work, work together hard enough
While all the lazy white man does is play, play, play
Then surely we can make a plan to come together, the ulimate plan
Entrench ourselves
Bury ourselves deep
Deep into the fabic of America's work ethic
Slowly steal away their jobs
Rob the money out of their greedy pockets and steal the food from their lying fat mouths
That is how we will have our final victory
That is how we will overcome, overcome their cruel ways
They won't even see what's coming
Not until it's too late
Far too late to fight back againest us
They believe us to be nothing but dumb, drunken laborers
So be it
We shall allow that masquerade to continue
For now
For the moment
Until that day comes
Just a few short years away
Not long after our dark agent has taken the highest white office in the land
That my friends and fellow men and women of color is when, when we shall take our places
Our rightful places as the new kings and queens of the good ole U.S. of A.
Oh happy day!

Having The Flu And With Nothing Else To Do
I read a book about John Dos Passos and according to
the book once radical-communist
John ended up in the Hollywood Hills living off investments
and reading the
Wall Street Journal
this seems to happen all too often.
what hardly ever happens is
a man going from being a young conservative to becoming an
old wild-ass radical
however:
young conservatives always seem to become old
conservatives.
it's a kind of lifelong mental vapor-lock.
but when a young radical ends up an
old radical
the critics
and the conservatives
treat him as if he escaped from a mental
institution.
such is our politics and you can have it
all.
keep it.
sail it up your
ass.

Happy Labour's Day!
Behind the men on the street,
responsible for cleaning and hygiene,
Behind the men on the site,
who work under sun and rain,
Behind the men in the factories,
who work with machines and maladies,
Behind the men in the fields,
who sweat and dry that with dirty rugs,
Behind the men in the conditioned offices,
who have to slouch and repeat the diction,
Behind every professional and politician,
who have to do the particular work and prove,
there are few mouth at home,
earnestly waiting for them.
To keep the food on the table,
to provide cloth and shelter,
to educate and medicate,
to love, care and cherish,
Most labor goes for love,
Love that we have,
Upon our loved ones,
our friends, society,
and our dear nation,
That energizes us,
To work tirelessly.
Behind the millions of housewives,
who work all day and night for the whole year,
there stand a family,
to prove that the toil of these women,
not wasted and the labor of these women,
connect the hearts through the stomach and mind.
Everyone of us is a laborer,
who have to serve the Gods,
who, are the laborers themselves,
for they create, protect and save us,
throughout the year without any rest.
Happy Laborer's day!

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done
Right!
I used to jump my horse on right
I had on six guns at my side
I was so handsome women cried
And I got shot but never died.
I could play, if I do everything it say.
girls seem to joskin in his way
those day we work considered fun
all cowboy's work is never done
He'd buy crime all the time
he always win
tell his mom would break it up
and call him in
he was tough, he was hot, he was high
I think was love 'cause guys like him were hard to find
Right! I'd like to ride again some day.
I think I feel no hard of play
I play games now, but it's not fun.
A cowboy's work is never done

You Could Do It If You Want To
Iggy: you’re lucky that not many people find or read my stuff,
Because I believe you don’t seem to be trying hard enough,
You have to cause some political controversy and soon,
Shake those Liberal diehards and do it by the next full moon.
We need binding referendums and recall of politicians,
You have lots of them around you in various positions,
Because this radical agenda would show you have some guts,
This is what Canadians really need, no ifs ands or buts.
You are part of the Liberal bureaucracy putting on an act,
We turn on our TVs and this is what we see and that’s a fact,
Say something, do something new to bring about political change,
Those old Liberal sentiments were always easy to arrange.

Work To-Day
Youth's the time; Youth's the season!
Learn and labor while you may,
Hear the voice of age and reason,-
Work to-day.
Labor hard in morning's prime,
Hasten on without delay,
Make the most of early time-
Work to-day.
Up betimes, nor let the sun
Find you sleeping or at play,
Sleep enough when life is done-
Work to-day.
Cull the sweets from ev'ry flower,
Seize the moments while you may,
Nor idly pass one sunny hour-
Work to-day.
