Dang man, “federalization” IS the problem in our country. If so-called conservatives don’t get that, how in the world is America ever going to have a rebirth for freedom, the Constitution, and limited government? The 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the threatening, gargantuan $4 trillion federal government IS the problem.

We can’t go around coming up with socialist tyranny “im favor of the Right” every time we don’t like something. That’s what the Left does. Let the market economy run free of government interference. It’s not perfect but it’s way ahead of whatever’s in second.

Prior to 1890, Standard Oil would move into an area, deliberately price their gasoline below that of any local retailers and run them out of business. It is for abuses such as this that congress passed in 1890, the "Sherman anti-trust act" to reign in such behemoths.

Do you believe Standard Oil should have been stopped from this unethical, but at the time, legal business practice? If so, who is going to stop them?

The 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the threatening, gargantuan $4 trillion federal government IS the problem.

Precisely, and that threatening gargantuan Federal Government is very much supported by the threatening gargantuan Oligarchs who run Google. How better to show them the error in advocating for big government than giving them a taste of that very government they wish to impose on others?

We can’t go around coming up with socialist tyranny “im favor of the Right” every time we don’t like something.

Do you believe Google is a threat to the nation? I do. If you don't, we have nothing to discuss. If you also see Google as a threat to the nation, how do you propose to deal with this threat?

I'm also wondering if you know about Google's role in getting Obama elected.

That’s what the Left does. Let the market economy run free of government interference.

Don't let your Dogma get run over by Karma. Yes, the free market is a wonderful thing provided the participants all behave ethically. We know however from past experience that they won't, and so we have to deal with them somehow.

As Adam Smith said:

“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.”
