Rossputin.com: Rational Thinking About Our World

The Wall Street Journal has added Mr. Thomas Frank as a regular to their opinion pages. His first piece, called "Obama's Touch of Class" is a perfect example of liberal inanity. Here's my letter to the Journal after reading Mr. Frank's article:

I am pleased to see the addition of Thomas Frank to the Journal’s opinion pages. He does indeed represent the left in nearly perfect stereotype. Ending his first “full-time” contribution with the idea that he wants a president who “will help restore the land of relative equality (he) was born in”, shows perfectly the anti-capitalist, anti-liberty nature of the American Left.

How many lessons of international history can the Democrats whistle by which prove that the only way to make people equal, economically, is to make them equally poor. How many lessons of domestic history can they ignore which point to the American people not supporting the politics of class envy? When will they realize the massive risk of interfering in free trade? And how long will it take the Left to realize that government has tremendous ability to damage our economy and prosperity, but very little ability to improve them other than by simply getting out of the way?

Indeed, it’s great to see Mr. Frank’s writing as it reminds your economically literate readership just how illogical, ideological, and dangerous his thinking is. Now if we could only get the cynical or “limousine liberal” hedge fund multi-millionaires to stop donating money to politicians who believe their donors are the cause of all things wrong with our great nation.
