nobody cares about this issue anymore.. at least until the general election if Romney wins... it’s so last week
“Of course, the solution is simple, and we all have a part to play. The left has sought to turn economic freedom into a dirty concept; we must turn “capitalism” into a dirty word.
Don’t say it.
Don’t write it.
Don’t use it.
If we want economic freedom to live, “capitalism” must die.”
*face palm*
Lately, I’ve been concerned about the AT’s “thinkers.”
Capitalism and balanced budgets are not relevant when you know you can print money. That is straight from the mouth of the reverend al sharpton. And he speaks for many.
The economy is not the issue to hammer home, the big issue is the sell out by everyone to the foreign money that has bought out congress, state governments and most of the inside the beltway crowd.
Sharia should be outlawed and should be the hot topic. Unfortunately, the republicans have been boxed into a corner and allowed discussion of real issues to be outlawed as hate speech.
*Stop attacking each other - The enemy is 0bama, attack him, his policies and tell us what YOU WILL DO to fix America.
*Fire all the marketing people. Who's idea was it for a “You're fired” ringtone? Stupid and petty - well beneath an honorable candidate.
*Stop playing to the Liberals by avoiding words that the Liberals have made ‘offensive’ like Capitalism, Work, Profit and Personal Responsibility.
*Stop chasing polls. This is the world of instant news. You can't say one thing in IA, another in NH and a third in SC just because some hired ‘professional’ says that should be your position. State your policies and convictions and stick with them. I'm no supporter of Ron Paul but I do admire the man's ability to say what he believes and to stick with it.
*If a candidate is attacked they should hold a press conference, address the accusation, present their evidence to the contrary and move along. This attacking one another and hiding behind so called super PACs is Super BS. It shows how little character a candidate has.
Just whaadya think the Dhimmocrats will be screaming at us for the next 10 1/2 months???
Maybe, just MAYBE, we can explain to our govt-educated population what the word actuallly MEANS.
We stopped defending capitalism when we allowed the word “rich” to become a pejorative.
Do not allow the left to form the language. They are too good at it.
I prefer to refer to “individual freedom”, since that is what capitalism really means. I am a strong advocate of the real capitalism that allows small businesses to grow and thrive, not the crony capitalism that the Dem party uses to control big business and to funnel tax dollars to their favorite donors, and not the pure laissez-faire capitalism in which there are no government regulations on business. I want government there just enough to prevent sleaze and deception but not actually picking winners and losers in the marketplace. To me, capitalism is one of the most beautiful concepts in human history, since it is a key to individual freedom, but I don’t use the word “capitalism” in most political discussions. I am pragmatic enough that I prefer to sell skeptics on the concept separately from selling them on candidates who will protect individual freedom.
I agree, they would have more success talking about private property rights. No one wants their assets taken away.
Free enterprise would be a suitable replacement term.
This is beyond sad. This is downright ugly. It won't be long now.
Crony communism is getting rich by stealing from taxpayers, consumers, producers, investors, etc., and then trying to call it capitalism.
