Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Bushism, “free market” edition

Dude.  Seriously.  From AFP:

US President George W. Bush said in an interview Tuesday he was forced to sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from “collapse.”

I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,” Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision “to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse.”

Isn’t that the defense used by serial killers over the years?  “I killed my victims in order to save my victims”?  Killing capitalism to save capitalism is just as psychotic.

Someone give me a shoe…

  2. The news media keeps suggesting that the unions need to make concessions to their wage and benefit agreements to save the economy. Maybe they should include the politicians and suggest similar concessions to their incredible salaries and health plans.
