I work for a brokerage firm, so I'm surrounded by Bushbots all day. Listening to them lately, especially today, with all the Fed bail-out and now these other banks failing has been interesting.
These flat-earthers, ultra-capitalist, free market afficianidos are all confused and out of sorts today. The the Federal Government bailouts and tax burden shifting to their sons and daughters has them skittish. They don't know if we've become a communist country, and if so, why did their beloved Republican party take us there?
Or, I also hear whispers of, sometimes in the form of bellows, that these banks should fail and let the market sort it out. Clearly clinging to their free-market philosophy in the hope that their philosophy will be proven out, finally. Some of them, have that worried look, the one someone gets when their political world view is crumbling as, I'm sure, they are thinking deregulation of all things Wall Street does not look like a good idea anymore. That look one gets just before the epiphany when they realise all of their assumptions are wrong.
Now, don't think these leopards are going to change their spots. That won't happen, they're confused, not converting to our side. No, they are still going to do what they've always done, which is blame the "libruls" for their own screw-ups. What else is new with the "personal responsibility" crowd :sarcasm:
Still, it is very interesting to watch their crisis of faith. Anybody else seeing things this?
