"Their philosophy hasn't worked since 1847 when they starved the Irish out

of Ireland"

Jim Cramer talking about conservatism on his rant in favor of the bailout.

He singled out Shelby and said, paraphrasing here, that usually republicans want to take us back to the 50's, this guy (Sen. Shelby) wants to take us back to the 30's...

He also said it's time we get the ideologues out of the government who think people are going to behave charitably when the get money. Rapacious capitalism is dead. We need regulators to save the economy from naked capitalism.

Wow, I said to myself as I was eating my 4:30 AM onion bagel smeared with peanut butter, this guy is angry and he knows from what he speaks...

I didn't hear the whole rant. He seemed to be taking on republicans who wraped them self in bootstrap capitalism.
