It is not just in Iraq that the political Left has an investment in failure. Domestically as well as internationally, the Left has long had a vested interest in poverty and social malaise.

The old advertising slogan, “Progress is our most important product,” has never applied to the Left. Whether it is successful black schools in the United States or third-world countries where millions of people have been rising out of poverty in recent years, the left has shown little interest.

Progress in general seems to hold little interest for people who call themselves “progressives.” What arouses them are denunciations of social failures and accusations of wrongdoing.

One wonders what they would do in heaven.

We are in no danger of producing heaven on earth but there have been some remarkable developments in some third-world countries within the past generation that have allowed many very poor people to rise to a standard of living that was never within their reach before.

The August 18 issue of the distinguished British magazine The Economist reveals the economic progress in Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American nations that has given a better life to millions of their poorest citizens.

Some of the economic policies that have led to these results are discussed in The Economist but it is doubtful that members of the political left will stampede there to find out what those policies were.

They have shown no such interest in how tens of millions of people in China and tens of millions of people in India have risen out of poverty within the past generation.

Despite whatever the left may say, or even believe, about their concern for the poor, their actual behavior shows their interest in the poor to be greatest when the poor can be used as a focus of the Left's denunciations of society.

When the poor stop being poor, they lose the attention of the Left. What actions on the part of the poor, or what changes in the economy, have led to drastic reductions in poverty seldom arouse much curiosity, much less celebration.

This is not a new development in our times. Back in the 19th century, when Karl Marx presented his vision of the impoverished working class rising to attack and destroy capitalism, he was disappointed when the workers grew less revolutionary over time, as their standards of living improved.

At one point, Marx wrote to his disciples: “The working class is revolutionary or it is nothing.”

Think about that. Millions of human beings mattered to him only in so far as they could serve as cannon fodder in his jihad against the existing society.

If they refused to be pawns in his ideological game, then they were “nothing.”

No one on the left would say such things so plainly today, even to themselves. But their actions speak louder than words.

Blacks are to the Left today what the working class were to Marx in the 19th century — pawns in an ideological game.

Blacks who rise out of poverty are of no great interest to the Left, unless the way they do so is by attacking society.

The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits since 1994 but the Left has shown no more interest in why that is so than they have shown in why many millions of people have risen out of poverty in Latin America or in China and India.

Where progress can be plausibly claimed to be a result of policies favored by the left, then such claims are made.

A whole mythology has grown up that the advancement of minorities and women in America is a result of policies promoted by the Left in the 1960s. Such claims are often based on nothing more substantial than ignoring the history of the progress made prior to 1960.

Retrogressions in the wake of the policies of the 1960s are studiously ignored — the runaway crime rates, the disintegration of black families, and the ghetto riots of the 1960s that have left many black communities still barren more than 40 years later.

Whatever does not advance the Left agenda is “nothing.”

K so I bought a 2002 white jetta about 4 months ago. I have been driving a auto for my whole driving experience like 4 years. and I am terrifyed to drive it. I can shift gears when Im driving but when it comes to slowing down and putting it into neutral but when I dont end up coming to a full stop I get confused on what gear to put it in. I cant down shift and the worst part is i am having such a hard time starting off from first. I get so scared when a car is behind me and I try not to shift to fast so I dont stall but then I end up going to slow where I start rolling backward and also if im going too slow starting they end up honking at me and end up stalling. No matter how much I practice Im not confortable driving and iv almost gotten into so many accidents cuz Im so confused when driving. So i havent driven it in 2 months. I need help if theres an easyier way to learn. DO they have classes on how to drive a manual? I live in sacramento ca. Thanks so much!!!

I have a dry sharp and sometimes very dark sense of humour which sometimes takes a train of thought to work out what I have said. I find that this is not always "got" by people.(It does involve a element of sarcasm at times) I don't like the obvious,slapstick, or having to use foul language to get a laugh. What makes you laugh? Do you think humour differs in other countries? (I am English)

It seems better than they Conservative point of view, because it has less limits on personal freedom, and better than the Liberal for the same reason, but still have Liberal ideals. what are the basic ideals of the party, and who is running for president?
