re: #182 The Ghost of a Flea

Oh yeah, one other thing:

The fact that conservatism in general will not admit that it’s policies have not and do not produce the positive outcomes they claim they will is the biggest stumbling block to good faith interaction. The grossness and cultish-ness are foul and frightening, respectively, but the core problem is that unreality.

And…I know this is going to make people groan, but I’m serious…a big part of this problem is neoliberal principles that some Democrats also support. And I don’t mean “neoliberal” is an amorphous sense, I mean the actual policy concepts that are summarized on Wikipedia. This shit is directly what is fucking us up as a country and keeping all the other countries so fucked up they can cheaply make stuff for us to buy on our undervalued salaries.
