Conservativism offers greed for the rich. Hate to the poor. And fear for everybody.
But to the extent that conservativism says: the very poor should not run things for too long...they are correct.
The flip side is that the very rich should not run things for too long either.
What conservatives miss is that this is not a frontier economy anymore...where the individual can survive on their own.
COMPETENT GOVERNMENT is necessary to provide physical, economic and social infrastructures and "safety nets"...or the modern consumer capitalist system will collapse. The dilemma is how to provide a "safety net" without providing a "life style." And this applies equally to welfare moms and defense contractors!!
Liberals are not perfect, to be sure...but at least they aren't dangerously wrong.
Its really a ying yan thing... We've had the ying...now it's time for a little yan.
