Maybe it does border on arrogance, but just from the initial comments, I could see it already looked an awful lot like ground that was already very well trod.

The narrative is quite familiar, and very well rehearsed: the minions and propagandists of elitist Liberalism are indoctrinating our youth into forgetting their entrepreneurial birthright and their patriotic heritage, so they can enlist them into their nefarious nattering nabobbery of nihilist negativism. Its all part of the Conservative canon. I've been watching remakes of that same movie since grade school. And even back then I could see it was bullshit.

The idea is to intimidate everyone from even thinking anything remotely suspicious of the party line; to uncritically accept that if things aren't working out for you, its because you're either stupid or lazy, or its the fault of the Liberals who are stealing everything from you--unlike the people who have made it, who obviously are neither stupid nor lazy, and are anything but Liberal. In no way could it ever be possible that if things aren't working out the way they should be that maybe, just maybe, the people who are benefitting most from the economy might just have some responsibility for why its running the way it is. That is not an unreasonable question to ask.

As for guessing what's in a link without even reading it, is there any doubt in anyone's mind what was going to be in that link, and who it was aimed at, and which side it was going to be on, and why it was posted? We get a constant stream of it here. It's like the Viagara spam in my email.

I don't have everything I want, but that really doesn't bother me that much because I have everything I need. But all around me I see people who don't have everything they need, and they don't even have everything they've earned, and it is not always their fault. In fact, its rarely their fault.

I also see people who have everything they could possibly want or need and they still want more, they never seem to get enough. And in this country, with its riches and its history, and its hard-working people I know that's just not right, and I want to know why and how it got that way, and why its only getting worse. And I want to know why so many voices are trying to tell me nothing is wrong, and that I don't know what I'm talking about, and that I should just shut up. I really want to know. And I don't think that's too much to ask, either.
