The New “Conservative”
I’m getting really sick of the New American Conservative. The ones who rails on the Democrats and the Obama Administration about the need to stop wasteful spending, but scream bloody-fucking-murder if the Democrats don’t extend a massive tax cut. The ones who tell us they want a smaller, more efficient government that doesn’t tell it’s constituents what kind of health care they need to have or what food is safe to eat, but still want to tell you who you can marry and who you can take into your bedroom. Either stick to your principals or get some new ones – using the old ones in name when you don’t really follow them doesn’t work.
All that said, I don’t think the Democrats are angels with the wisdom and vision of the Philosopher Kings either. Their inability to make a decision – even when they have an unassailable super-majority – is criminal. They almost never think about the repercussions of their actions.
(Spitzer, Emanuel, Blagojevich, Edwards). To make matters worse, their conflicting goals of strong labor unions and a strong middle class don’t work when the reality is that BMW can build cars in South Carolina for half the hourly wage than it takes GM to build a car in Detroit.
