Re: I Blame Ayn Rand
by Wakefield Tolbert

What is MORE amazing at even MORE levels of utter hypocrisy is that the LEFT is constantly sermonizing its own contradictory statement that you "can't legislate morals" (which presumably they generally mean personal sexual morals, since that's what they yap about the most and complain about the most as being too pollyannish from the Right) and tell us we can't judge others' personal habits, the underclass's penchant for welfare witchery, or fatherless homes causing crime waves, or advocacy of government agency now taking the place of fathers and stability in the home, then they mock the idea of traditional marriage, and YET they then tell us that "robber barons" are ripping us all off in the midst of the second highest corporate tax rates in the West, profit is pure chemically evil, and "something must be done" (by governing bodies, no doubt) to cull back the "greed."

Granted greed is sinful, but then so too is the promiscuity and social disintigration caused by the welfare state whose crimes are far more horrific than crashing stock holders. I'd rather lose my nest egg to corporate raiders--as terrible as that is(though it'd be my fault for putting all the eggs in one basket anyhow...)--than getting capped in a parking lot over bucks and my wife's dinner ring by someone needing a quick crack fix.
