“..crony capitalism...”

####

I despise that propaganda phrase.

It is just cronyism. Capitalism, by its very defintion, has nothing to do with it.

It is just the Left, ONCE AGAIN, gaining the high ground first with grossly misleading and inaccurate terminology. In this case demonizing capitalism, bu tying it to political favor corruption.

I know where you’re coming from, but I find something appealingly subversive about the way Palin has grabbed wording and phrases from the left to fit her own agenda. It really drives the libs crazy, as if she’s stealing something from their personal foot-locker. Just like she did by calling herself a “feminist,” while defining it as a more hearty 1800s-style “frontier feminism” of the Old West as opposed to 1960s/70s Steinem-era idiocy.

You are absolutely correct.

Reminds me of “Compassionate Conservative”, G.W. Bush's favorite saying. It still makes me cringe simply because it implies that as Conservatives we have no compassion.

It's bad enough when the Commies accuse us of that, but when one of our own joins the Chorus we are fighting a War on two fronts.

We live in an an age where voting for Politicians who steal one person's Private Property to give to their supporters is considered mainstream, while those of us who believe in Constitutionally Limited Government are now called Radicals.

The Bizarro World...

.
Capitalism, by its very defintion, has nothing to do with America.

America’s economic system is free enterprise. Capitalism is a marxist buzz word that best describes the behavior of the global corporazi, not American business.
