The April 4 th , 2012 Edition of THE REVENGE OF HUMP DAY!Page 20 of 53~~THE FOLLOWING MUST BE READ WITH YOUR TONGUE FIRMLY PLANTED IN YOURCHEEK. UTSOMETIMES THE DEMOCRATS DO MAKE SENSEIllinois Review, April 1, 2012 A.D., John F. Di Leohttp://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2012/04/sometimes-the-democrats-do-makesense.htmlIt’s easy to get carried away, looking at depressing statistics and thinking the worst ofthem, and be frustrated with the Democratic leadership’s seeming lack of concern for thewell-being of the American people. But perhaps we shouldn’t look at these issues one byone, but rather, consider them as a whole, as a “total package”, as they do, and then theymight indeed make more sense.For twenty years, Democrats argued that gasoline prices should be higher, and theyworked as hard as they could to drive them up. Now that they’ve succeeded in their goal,it’s easy to blame them, but let’s consider the other statistics and how they all worktogether, to get a balanced view of the situation.With real unemployment (counting the longterm unemployed and severely underemployedwho’ve dropped off the list due to the government’s creative accounting methods) in thefifteen-to-twenty percent range, we have nearly a fifth fewer workers needing gasoline fortheir drive to work. Without a job, you don’t need fuel to get there, so you stay home. Thegasoline price doesn’t affect that group at all!These unemployed can’t afford to go shopping, or to the theater, or to restaurants, so theirfamilies won’t be using gasoline for these errands and other pleasure-trips. So the gasolineprice doesn’t affect them either!For decades, the American left has been railing against our consumerism, our consumptionof so many of the world’s luxuries, produced in factories all over the world for sale inAmerican stores. Now, with unemployment so high, fewer such luxuries are purchased, andthe stores and manufacturers making them are struggling, even going under, as a result.That’s a good thing, in their worldview, because it was warping the third world to have thethird world get the chance to join western civilization in climbing out of poverty andworking toward prosperity. What right to we have to change the lifestyles of thoseforeigners? They’re called the third world for a reason, after all… they’re not OUR world; wehave no business meddling with their lives, giving them opportunity and such. We shouldleave them alone, and keep our poisonous cash out of their grasping hands.For decades, the left has complained that American success has enabled Americans tobecome obese; the ranting and wailing of a hundred magazines and a thousand cable TVshows hasn’t been enough to stop it. So now the economy might do the trick at last: whenyou can’t afford to eat, you can’t get fat. People may be unemployed, but they’ll be in betterhealth as they slim down. And all that fresh air from standing on highway ramps withcardboard signs, or sitting on the sidewalk with a tin cup, is invigorating; there’s nothinglike fresh air and sunlight to boost your health. And better a natural tan from sunlight thanone of those fake tans that so many people with jobs go out and buy.
The April 4 th , 2012 Edition of THE REVENGE OF HUMP DAY!Page 21 of 53We could go on all day, but I think you get the picture. Complaining about inflation,gasoline prices, unemployment, the cost of living, etc., all one by one, isn’t fair, becauseeach of these things looks terrible under the Democratic party’s watch.But if we view them as a set, the way the Democrats do, it all makes for a logical, organizedworldview. They balance together, achieving a leveling of the standard of living, not justhere in the USA but world wide, in a neat and organized downward spiral. The race to thebottom, to what mathematicians call “the lowest common denominator”, has neverprogressed so well as it has under the Obama administration.Year after year, the many disparate plans of the Democrats work together like the gears of amachine, to gradually reverse all the complicated improvements that have been confusingthe world ever since the dawn of capitalism and the industrial age.See, it all makes sense, when we just look at Democratic policies not as individual failuresbut as an organized, combined success, at least on this one annual day that is alwaysdedicated to Democratic politicians and theorists, and to the policies they advocate. Let’sgive their ideas a fair hearing, on this (and every) April 1.Copyright 2012 John F. Di Leo - John F. Di Leo is a Chicago-based Customs broker andinternational trade compliance trainer. While he is generally a traditional conservativeRepublican, he tries at least once a year – well, no more than once a year, actually, wouldn’twant to go too far with this process – to understand the Democrats and their policies on theday reserved for them, every April 1.Permission is hereby granted to forward freely, provided it is uncut and the byline and IRURL are included.

Mainly aircraft production (including one from theConsolidated-Vultee plant in Nashville of the Vengeance dive bomber being built) but somefrom the TVA and too few railroad pictures.P.S. The Vultee Vengeance was not used by U.S. forces. It was sent to BritishCommonwealth air forces and was very successful in the Burma theater of operations.Here are pictures that demonstrate why cameras that used Kodachrome film are better thanmost of today?s digital cameras.
