We just want to keep all you mainstream ignorant folks in the party. Left Party point man Gregor Gysi is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore. The SED (German communist) replacement party in Neues Deutschland, the Left Party, is sick and tired of being hassled within their own ranks by ungrateful comrades mostly from that yet pretty-much-uncharted “western” part of the nation and is now ready to start throwing their sorry non-conformed Hinternteile (back parts) out.

It seems that the Left Party is a big noise now, or at least they want to come over that way, and the times when you could turn a tolerant blind eye to the wackiest of left-wing ideas has now ended or is about to or might, maybe. They couldn’t come down and clean up on the usual loonies too hard too fast at first, you see, otherwise people might think that they were the SED (German communist) replacement party in Neues Deutschland. Which they are, of course, but actually aren’t, uh, if you get my drift.

It appears that certain unstable members from THE WEST have of late been calling for unusual things like asking constituents not to vote for their own party out of protest against something not, well, wacky enough. Which really isn’t all that unusual in Germany, if you stop and think about it. The SPD does it all the time, for instance (more power to ya, Wolfgang Clement). But, on the other hand, if you take a good look at the SPD these days, I can definitely see where Gysi is coming from. I mean, it’s not like he’s crazy or anything.
