Neither have I, but I don’t know what that comment has to do with the original post.

Nor do I understand how people who don't have two nickels to rub together defend "laissez-faire capitalism".Almost as though they live in some delusion that "one day", "some day" the rainbow will come my way.Of course more and more "conservatives" are becoming experts on things they don't know shit about. All you need is a Bible and a G.E.D. I have never understood how so-called “conservatives” are able to see things that are not there.

Almost as though they live in some delusion that “one day”, “some day” the rainbow will come my way.

Of course more and more “conservatives” are becoming experts on things they don’t know shit about. All you need is a Bible and a G.E.D.

It seems to me that Liberals, (by which I mean left liberals, not classic liberals) should be the ones on the side of the little guy, when he is attacked by a much larger aggressor.I begin to fear that they oppose it for the same reason they try to cure poverty by eliminating the most powerful and fair engine in history for the creation of prosperity: laissez-faire capitalism. That reason, I am convinced, is the cynical fear that it might actually work, and strip them of their "disenfranchised" base. I have never understood the Liberal obsession with disarming victims.
