Forgotten Man

It is easy to work out who the Forgotten Man is; the honest fellow, loyal to his wife, raising his children decently, paying taxes, getting precious little for what he puts in. He is the man of the Working Class once hailed as a hero by Marxists and politicians running the Labour Party. He is still used by Capitalist Swine. He was in Animal Farm, a satire on the Soviet Union & the people who run Western Civilization. It was written by George Orwell, an honest socialist.  George gives us Napoleon, the boss of the pigs, who is suspiciously like Stalin, while our hero is like Boxer the great carthorse who believes and toils then dies. Now he is written off as expendable; he is old, male, stale and pale according to those very same apparatchiks of the bourgeois Left Wing.

One such is Emily Thornberry, a fat snobbish lump who joined Labour at university. She has never done an honest day's work in her life but she went with the Left Wing as a career move. Then she tweeted her contempt for White Van Man when she was supposed to campaigning for Labour votes. The party had to pretend that she was persona non grata for a while.

But Mark Steyn, a splendid commentator told us about Remembering The Forgotten Man, one of the great themes of the election campaign [ in his video at 1:08 ] The term came originally from William Graham Sumner back round 1883. There have always been people willing to take advantage. It was about the man who pays, the man who prays, the man carrying the load, the White Mans Burden. Sounds familiar? He volunteered in 1914, on both sides. There were not so many in 1939. People remembered what happened to their fathers; the difference between the promises and the ugly reality. Later Franklin Roosevelt turned him into the victim [ video @ 4:54 ] who should be helped, not the one bearing the price, becoming merely Collateral Damage of a social project such as Roosevelt's New Deal. But is it accidental or malicious, in good faith or cynical? [ 7:30 ] Did FDR's New Deal work? [ 13:00 ] No!

Mark mentions the "Coalition of the Ascendant" [ at 23:00 ], a term that has not got major traction in the Main Stream Media; it is too near being honest. But News Week uses it in explaining Why Working-Class White Men Make Democrats Nervous. Those on the up include Obama’s types “minorities, unmarried and working women, Millennial generation". News Week skates over the Homosexual lobby.

 

The Wiki in its article, the Forgotten Man got it absolutely right but did not quite say that Franklin Roosevelt, who corrupted the meaning of the phrase was a Marxist sympathiser who filled the Administration with Eastern Europeans of very dubious loyalty. It is true none the less. See The Iron Curtain Over America for what was happening. One very effective & dangerous infiltrator was the Jew, Louis Dembitz Brandeis. He got America into the First World War.

Forgotten man
is a phrase with several meanings, some of which are polar opposites. It was first used by William Graham Sumner in an 1883 lecture in Brooklyn [1] entitled The Forgotten Man (published posthumously in 1918)[2] to refer to the person compelled to pay for reformist programs; however, since Franklin Roosevelt [ the well known, de facto Marxist - Editor ] appropriated the phrase in a 1932 speech, it has more often been used to refer to those at the bottom of the economic government whom the state (in Roosevelt's view and in the general social humanitarian approach) needed to help.[3]

Sumner's forgotten man
Yale University
professor William Graham Sumner appears to be the first to use the phrase "the forgotten man" in his 1876 essay. His algebraic definition of the forgotten man was "C", who is coerced into helping the man at the economic bottom "X", by "A" and "B" who demand charity for "X".[4]

As soon as A observes something which seems to him wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X, or, in better case, what A, B, and C shall do for X... What I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is. I call him the Forgotten Man. perhaps the appellation is not strictly correct. he is the man who never is thought of.... I call him the forgotten man... He works, he votes, generally he prays—but he always pays..."

Roosevelt's forgotten man
Roosevelt redefined the phrase in a radio address he gave on April 7, 1932. Roosevelt used the phrase to describe the poor men who needed money and were not getting it, promoting his New Deal.[5] Roosevelt said,

These unhappy times call for the building of plans that rest upon the forgotten, the unorganized but the indispensable units of economic power, for plans like those of 1917 that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid.[6]

The term quickly appeared within popular culture, and ironically, or not, Sumner's forgotten man, C, was forgotten. Joan Blondell and Etta Moten Barnett sing the song "Remember My Forgotten Man" in the climactic sequence of the film Gold Diggers of 1933, with scenes of mass unemployment.[7] In the film My Man Godfrey (1936) a Boston Brahmin is mistaken for a tramp when frivolous socialites are looking for a "forgotten man" in a scavenger hunt.

McNaughton's forgotten man
Artist Jon McNaughton made a series of paintings that depict the "Forgotten Man" as being forgotten by Democratic presidents, although supported by Republicans.[8]

 

Labour Apparatchik Misses Zionist Event For Mass Murderer's Funeral [ 1 December 2016 ]
QUOTE
Emily Thornberry has pulled out of an event on Britain’s relationship with Israel in order to attend Fidel Castro’s funeral, Guido can reveal. Thornberry was due to speak at today’s conference hosted by BICOM and the Jewish News discussing terrorism and “cooperation” between Britain and Israel. Guido understands she is now in Cuba. Labour’s foreign policy priorities summed up…
UNQUOTE
Thornberry is a fat, ugly lump, a ratbag on the make; it's why she joined The Labour Party. She despises the honest English Working Man knowing that the rogues who run the party do too; that they are just as treasonous & greedy as her. That is why she panders to the likes of Poju Zabludowicz, the Zionist crazy who runs BICOM, a branch of the Puppet Masters that exist to destroy England & Western Civilization while using our resources to make war against Arabs in the Middle East. That is why BICOM bribes politicians like Cameron. She is one of the Fidel Castro Fan Club, just like Comrade Corbyn, Livingstone, Galloway, Gerry Adams & other murderous rogues. Zabludowicz does his dirty work at second hand. There is no blood on his hands.
PS Thornberry is a lawyer specializing in human rights but not for Palestinians living in Gaza being brutalized by Jews.

I say again, fat & ugly.
Here is the White Van

She was never going to sneer at the man to his face; he was a cage fighter who can handle himself.

 

White Van Man ex Wiki
"White van man"
is a stereotype used in the United Kingdom for a smaller-sized commercial van driver,[1] typically perceived as a selfish, inconsiderate driver who is mostly petit bourgeois and often aggressive.[2] According to this stereotype, the "white van man" is typically an independent tradesperson [ Tradeshuman perhaps? Editor ], such as a plumber or locksmith, self-employed, or running a small enterprise,[2] for whom driving a commercial vehicle is not their main line of business, as it would be for a professional freight-driver.[3]

Collateral Damage ex Wiki
Collateral damage is a general term for deaths, injuries, or other damage inflicted on an unintended target. In American military terminology, it is used for the incidental killing or wounding of non-combatants or damage to non-combatant property during an attack on a legitimate military target.[1][2] In US military terminology, the unintentional destruction of allied or neutral targets is called friendly fire.

Critics of the term see it as a euphemism that dehumanizes non-combatants killed or injured during combat, used to reduce the perception of culpability of military leadership in failing to prevent non-combatant casualties. [ That bit is true - Editor ]

 

William Graham Sumner ex Wiki
William Graham Sumner
(October 30, 1840 – April 12, 1910) was a classical liberal (now a branch of "libertarianism" in American political philosophy) American social scientist. He taught social sciences at Yale, where he held the nation's first professorship in sociology. He was one of the most influential teachers at Yale or any major schools. Sumner was a polymath with numerous books and essays on American history, economic history, political theory, sociology, and anthropology. He supported laissez-faire economics, free markets, and the gold standard. He introduced the term "ethnocentrism" to identify the roots of imperialism, which he strongly opposed. He was a spokesman against imperialism and in favor of the "forgotten man" of the middle class, a term he coined. He had a long-term influence on conservatism in the United States.

 

New Deal ex Wiki
The New Deal was a series of federal programs, public work projects, financial reforms and regulations enacted in the United States during the 1930s in response to the Great Depression. Some of these federal programs included the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA).[1][2][3][4][5] These programs included support for farmers, the unemployed, youth and the elderly as well as new constraints and safeguards on the banking industry and changes to the monetary system. Most programs were enacted between 1933–1938, though some were later. They included both laws passed by Congress as well as presidential executive orders, most during the first term of the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The programs focused on what historians refer to as the "3 Rs": relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy back to normal levels and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression.[6] The New Deal produced a political realignment, making the Democratic Party the majority (as well as the party that held the White House for seven out of the nine presidential terms from 1933–1969) with its base in liberal ideas, the South, traditional Democrats, big city machines and the newly empowered labor unions and ethnic minorities. The Republicans were split, with conservatives opposing the entire New Deal as an alleged enemy of business and growth and liberals accepting some of it and promising to make it more efficient. The realignment crystallized into the New Deal coalition that dominated most presidential elections into the 1960s while the opposing conservative coalition largely controlled Congress from 1939–1964.

By 1936, the term "liberal" typically was used for supporters of the New Deal and "conservative" for its opponents.[7] From 1934 to 1938, Roosevelt was assisted in his endeavors by a "pro-spender" majority in Congress (drawn from two-party, competitive, non-machine, progressive and left party districts). In the 1938 midterm election, Roosevelt and his liberal supporters lost control of Congress to the bipartisan conservative coalition.[8] Many historians distinguish between a "First New Deal" (1933–1934) and a "Second New Deal" (1935–1938), with the second one more liberal and more controversial.

The "First New Deal" (1933–1934) dealt with the pressing banking crises through the Emergency Banking Act and the 1933 Banking Act. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) provided $500 million ($9.45 billion today) for relief operations by states and cities, while the short-lived CWA gave locals money to operate make-work projects in 1933–1934.[9] The Securities Act of 1933 was enacted to prevent a repeated stock market crash. The controversial work of the National Recovery Administration (NRA) was also part of the First New Deal.
