      From: word_chemist@hotmail.com              ...not with CM* doing such socko biz in England:              'It's all very reminiscent of a passage from this reactionary's favourite       socialist, which - like so much of his work - is well worth revisiting:       "England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed       of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there       is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a       duty to snigger at every English institution, from horseracing to suet       puddings. It is a strange fact, but unquestionably true, that almost any       English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during       "God Save the King" than of stealing from a poor box."'              http://dailyablution.blogs.com/the_daily_ablution/2006/05/the_selfloathin.ht       ml                     * Cultural Marxism. It is a mistake to use PC now: it has become neutered       through repetition: Typical Lefties (see our own Martha B) also feel       terribly comfortable and well rehearsed in the arguments, even when they're       idiotic: 'bah, *that* was in the 80s', 'oh you just want to call people       niggers without reproach' etc.              ROBBIE              PS: someone calls weakly from behind their Guardian: 'but it says here St       George was Turkish, dude...' etc              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
