"By breaking up the biggest banks, conservatives will not be putting asunder what the free market has joined together. Government nurtured these behemoths by weaving an improvident safety net and by practicing crony capitalism. Dismantling them would be a blow against government that has become too big not to fail. Aux barricades!"

He is attacking the banks because he sees them as the tools created by big government rather than puppeteers making government dance on their strings.

he might be right about something twice a day, but no more often than that.

He's definitely right about the need to break up the big, predatory banks.
