Interesting quote from the article:

“Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party are essentially different expressions of the same phenomenon,” Blond said. Both are angry at the concentration of power, but both are on rocky ground when they demand salvation from either the gods of the market or government.

Notice that this dovetails with what Christie said today, and Obama said yesterday.

The meme they seem to be pushing is: The Tea Party and OWS are MORALLY EQUIVALENT. They are equal. They cancel each other out because they both want the same things.

Not sure how this strategy is good for Obama & Rinos, but let's watch to see if they keep pushing the same meme.

"Notice that this dovetails with what Christie said today, and Obama said yesterday."

This assumes that Christie and Obama are thoughtful people, rather than just triangulating politicians.

Distributism has a long, respectful heritage. It was supported by luminaries such as G. K. Chesterton, Hillaire Belloc, and C. S. Lewis. Those gentlemen supported distributism because it made sense to them, not because they hoped to get more votes.

Whatever the MSM or egotistic politicians decide to do with distributism is besides the point. If the distributists have even a couple of good ideas that can help us through our current economic troubles then good for them!
