He has spent the last week telling us how Romney is an evil capitalist?

So you think there's no such thing as an "evil capitalist"? All capitalists are just perfectly saintly? Sounds like some commentators who apparently have a weak sense of right and wrong as long as money is being made.

Well, what Romney did was perfectly legal, you say? So is the "insider trading" done by Congress on information they receive because of their positions. Positive law at best is only an approximation of natural law; at worst, it bears no relation to it.

I think the point Newt is grasping toward is more like Codevilla's conflict between the Ruling Class and the Country Class -- Mitt is just as much as Ruling Class type as Obama, with as little concern for personal freedom.

I don't understand why none of the Republican candidates have shared at all Ron Paul's views on personal freedom, which I think resonate with a lot of people, and should resonate with conservatives.

I think it's still legal to take over failing businesses and try to make them profitable. But I'll have to check with our masters in the federal government.

... All of you capitalists that think anything goes, and the complain about the Kelo Supremem Court decision. Well, that eminent domain situation is pure greedy capitalism. Was that ok?
