"The War on Capital" -- We'd better fight this shit or they'll take back the ball

[Armstead]

I was listening to Laura Ingram last night in the car. (Don;t ask me why.) She had that stuffed shirt elitist Lawrence Kudlow on discussing that scary black man Barack Obama.

Kudlow must have used the phrase "this war on capital" 20 times. It's obviously an attempt to spread a meme.

He was scared for the economy because of this "war on capital." God forbid that the taxes on the wealthy and corporate oligarchs might be rolled back to those awful 1990's, when the rich had such a difficult time.

Anyway, I've heard variants of this from a variety of sources.

Nevermind that "capital" basically mortally wounded itself with its' mix of greed and stupidity under the CONservative policies espoused by the likes of Kudlow, Rush and Hannity....Nevermind that much of the "socialist" spending that's going on is being given as a life-saver to Wall St. and Corporate America, to prevent them from totally self-destructing.

What really frosts me is that these greedy pigs and their CONservative stooges in the media are acting like dogs in the manger.

They have no concept of moderation, compromise or flexibility of ideology. Plain old liberal Keneysian economics is branded as "dangerous radical socialism."

They want it their way or no way.

What is worrisome is the possibility that this meme might spread. That the Right Wing Ideologues could succeed in their attempt to brand moderate liberalism as an "attack on capitalism" in the public mind.


We'd better fight back hard at these nattering nabobs of negativism. Otherwise, the public might start listening to them again and buying their sour milk.
