Sounds an awful lot like Atlas Shrugged.......
Well....yes and no. the biggest problem is that leftists believe in relativism - the notion that things can have different meanings depending upon circumstances, circumstances that can change at one’s whim.
That allows them to practice capitalism - including profit-taking - while simultaneously looking down their proboscis at someone else for the same thing. It also allows them to elevate feelings to the level of principles.
Leftists are the ultimate hypocrites.
Actually if is like America today. NONSENSE passing for foundational truth.
We are in trouble ... big time.
God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
“They don’t think profit is a dirty word. Leftists argue that feelings, not the bottom line, should be the motivating factor in all of life’s decisions.”
Yeah, right there is where I fall out. This is where morality, dedication, and loyalty are lost. It is also where fraud, corruption, and greed pickup.
Sucks, but thats why Capitalism requires regulation.
Probably a good article (and I may actually click on it to see) but “Flipping Aces” should be under bloggers.
When capitalism is pursued by God-fearing men, morality, dedication, and loyalty are honored. When it is pursued outside of God's bounds, they are lost. And yes, you do need laws to protect people from those would take advantage of others, but it is not an inherent trait of capitalism.
Actually, it now appears your entire posting history is to post fragments to Flapping Aces, without a single comment anywhere, ever.
If you’d at least post in bloggers it might keep the news section a bit less cluttered.
You've got this bass ackwards.
There is no line between the quest for profit and fraud or corruption.
Criminal behavior is criminal behavior.
Where conservatives have to be careful is that they are blind to the difference between free market capitalism and crony capitalism (which is a form of fascism). When you bail out failed investment banks and make them and their owners and officers whole you destroyed free market capitalism and created croy capitalism.
No, conservatives believe in the rule of God, period. If one doesn't believe that we have been blessed by the Almighty, and should live our lives according to His teachings, then he isn't a conservative. Maybe he's a Libertarian, but Judeo-Christian beliefs are anchors of conservatism.
IOW, there is no such thing as a "homosexual conservative", just as there is no such thing as a "anti-gun conservative", or a "tax and spend conservative".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
If’n you don’t know, don’t run for public office!!!
“Criminal behavior is criminal behavior.”
Don’t you have to break the law to be a criminal? Without laws anything goes?

Not only that:
In this case she’s hawking her own ESSAY (not an article), which had already been cross-posted to FA from YET A THIRD website — not to mention posting the item as “news.” Pretty cheeky, doncha think?
Wow, been a long time since I have seen this word used in a sentence. :) Jimmy Duranty just smiled. Cha, cha, cha.
“Feeling are frequently mistaken or WRONG. - - - NONSENSE passing for foundational truth.”
Jimmy Carter just said his Presidency was greater than most.
Using feelings in this way is awfully hard to distinguish from criminal insanity.
