Conservatives: Let's go back to the good ol' days of capitalism and the free market
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 10:19 AM by ck4829
"Before Obama came in everything was good! We had a FREE MARKET back then that was free from socialism! It's not like we were giving no-bid contracts out to a company that the vice president used to be the head of (Halliburton), giving no-bid contracts to a private military company owned by a Republican who is related to a wealthy family well-connected to the conservative movement and Republican Party (Blackwater, now known as Xe), or handing out welfare to people who don't need it (ExxonMobil). Bunch of socialists!"

1. Yeah, everything was grand for the few that had already made it.
And that did it on the backs of everyone else.

What we've had is abusive. That isn't what America is about. Selfishness, greed, no compassion, corruption, and cronyism have brought us to this point. And those who profited from all that want it back.

F 'em.
