It's greedy CEOs, it's outsourcing, it's the illegals...

Oh, and you forgot the latest category... "Merchants".

At one time or another on FR, I have had not only job losses (I call them "firings") and home foreclosures blamed on greedy CEOs, outsourcing and illegals, but divorces, marital separations, inner-city drug-dealing and murder and even one guy's friend's suicide.

Yep. You know, I think David Frum was right about the paleo-cons. The second paragraph is quite interesting, IMHO. It's why I have a lot of suspicion about the outcry over outsourcing.

"Francis advocated a politics of uninhibited racial nationalism — a politics devoted to the protection of the interests of what he called the 'Euro-American cultural core' of the American nation. He argued that the time had come for conservatives to jettison their old commitment to limited government: A 'nationalist ethic,' he wrote in 1991, 'may often require government action.'

"So, Chronicles advocated protectionism for American industry and restrictions on nonwhite immigration. It defended minimum-wage laws and attacked corporations that moved operations off-shore."
