This helps to show the depths of degradation to which Free Republic has fallen in such a short time.
Even six months ago, Freepers were rightly telling us that it was wrong on principle for government to use taxpayers' monies to pick and choose certain industries and businesses to subsidise, especially when the premises for why these businesses and industries were being subsidised was something spurious like concerns over "anthropogenic global warming."
Now, FReepers rush to assure us that it's okay for government to do this, so long as it's below a certain, apparently arbitrary, monetary amount and so long as the subsidised business doesn't fold within a certain, apparently arbitrary, number of years.
No offence, but that's pathetic.
It must feel so good but lonely to be an absolutist. The purity of thought and deed is admirable.
