Almost as if there are other jobs out there besides military. Or do those not count?
Also, the fact you think Bush sounds like a lefty further highlights your own sheer ignorance.
I said bush sounds like a lefty due to how much the Overton window has shifted. Are u blind to the right wing nationalism that has taken the USA? There are other jobs in not saying that. I'm not in the military. I also don't have health care, and when I had jobs that offered the family plans were incredibly expensive. The military is sometimes just the only way your going to get healthcare for you kids, especially if you don't have good education or other skills. I'm a mechanic and it's hard to get a GOOD family plan without giving half your salary for it.
Wild conclusion that I'm ignorant of the rightward shift just because I said Bush doesn't sound like a lefty. Doesn't help your case that he never was one in the first place.
That's kind of my whole point. Do you know what an Overton window is? Please listen to bush as president speak on immigration and then listen to fill in the blank current Republican talk about immigration policy. Bush sounds like a lefty by todays standards because we're so far off the right I don't know what direction is anymore
He does not sound like a leftist. Shut the fuck up.
