Nice false dichotomy yourself, Dan. Of course every system has winners and losers. The question is whether the winners and losers deserve what they get. Capitalism, although nasty and vicious, is the best system ever found for spreading wealth around.

I just love liberals blaming everything on the Bush years. He was a good wartime president but economically he governed like a spendthrift liberal. But blaming Bush is your panacea. I myself blame him for the Black Death.

Obama is a sterling example of the rewards of human excellence? How would you know? He most likely didn’t write his books; he has no legal publishing record; he served as a US Senator for fewer than 200 days; he has the slimmest resume of any president in history. His excellence is only in running a campaign and posing for the camera. He’s a sonorous nullity.

I freely admit that the Republicans in Congress are mediocre–very mediocre. But at least they’re not a bunch of power-mad statists posturing as egalitarians as they steal money to pay off political cronies, which is precisely the point of the stimulus bill.

And as far as the banks who created the mortgage mess. I have no love for them but bear in mind that ACORN, whom Barry trained in Chicago, hired by Madeline Talbot, was largely responsible for forcing lenders to make those bad loans, and they were aided and abetted by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

If you’re looking to point a finger, that finger largely should be pointed at liberal Democrats.
