Nailed it.
And why is Tim McVeigh contemptible and Ayers exalted as a friend of founder of the elect another Hussein movement?.
Interesting—a new perspective on a situation which has baffled me
Bill Ayers is probably the classic example of the pampered and spoiled little kid from a rich family who depended on Daddy’s fortune and connections to pull him out of the scrapes and really big-time trouble he got into with the law.
The popular conception is that the son of a rich family is also a classic pseudo-Republican, and spends his time ruining the lives of others. But in this instance, the son-of-a-rich had chosen to emulate Ernesto (Che) Guereva, another example of the privileged wealthy pretending to be a “fighter for the people” but was in reality an extravagantly reckless and apparently bloodthirsty sociopath. The good thing is that Che was run to ground and executed in a little rough jungle justice in Bolivia, the bad thing is that he is held to be some kind of hero by those who were not there.
Che did not understand the basis of what had to be done to improve the lives of the campesinos, he thought smashing what feeble economic system that existed would be enough. But he had no acceptable substitute to put in its place, as the Bolivian natives were not Chinese, with at least the rudiments of civilization in their lives, and an appreciation that hard work was the basis of self-improvement. The Bolivian natives did not want “improvement”, they only wanted the foreign usurpers out of the land where their forebearers had dwelt for millenia. It was a race thing, not economics, that motivated them. And Che was of the wrong race.
This is one reason why we need to go go NUCLEAR about Odinga. Ayers can be brushed off as, “Well, he *is* a professor now.” Show the video of people with machetes. That scares the CRAP out of people. Ayers is a rich white American guy. Odinga is a third world radical.
Quite astute. Something I had thought privately but could not verbalize to anyone, since most people are in denial about our social class system.
Bump!
