How some think
Jan. 13th, 2010 09:52 amThis was actually published today, by a conservative commentator, as something worth saying in a discussion:
The truth is that we don't have a free market -- government regulation and management are pervasive -- so it's misleading to say that "capitalism" caused today's problems. The free market is innocent.
The amount of non sequiturs, false issues and sheer ignorance that underlie this passage is mind-numbing. And such a man is paid to write this, and people pay to read it.
P.S.: There are people on the opposite who are just as bad. But I tend to stay away from their stuff, and therefore get less instance of outright idiocy than I meet on the right.
