Heck, the Republicans need to read it as badly as the Dems. Have you read some of the idiotic comments here lately?

I agree

But then again how many conservatives even claim to be republican now?

The Bush, Lott, Graham, etc. line of thought lost me a while back. It's like getting that bag of nuts (no pun intended here, well maybe a little LOL) and as you eat them you hit so many that are bad you just toss the whole pack away.

We just need a new bag of nuts! (OK the pun boomeranged on me and I couldn't resist LOL)

I forgot!

Did you see that cartoon with a bunch of Rhinos (RINOS) under a coat with an elephant head on it?

The sad state of the party just kills me right now!

That was my first thought on starting to read this thread and not seeing it expressed until your post. Glad you did, even if it's not exactly PC to say so.

The most important chapter in R2S is the one called "Why the Worst Get on Top." It blows away the myth that if we just had the right people in charge, everything would run like clockwork in a nationalized economy.

Won't happen, because the Evil Ones invariably displace the do-gooders.

Rather than wasting precious time trying to put "good people" at the monster machine's controls, we need to disable the controls and/or destroy the machine. We need to do everything possible to make a U-turn once that fateful road Hayek describes is taken. Not go slower, not apply the brakes, but turn plumb around and head back.
