re: #164 Liberal Classic

Honestly, left wing is tickled pink at the thought of the right wing is eating their own. It’s a cyclical thing, I suppose. The left wing had to endure Nader as a spoiler. Before that the right had to endure Perot. Eventually the pendulum will swing the other way as competing factions push the left away from the center. What I can’t foresee is which style of “rightism” will be dominant going forward.

I’m buzzed so I’ll tell you my worst nightmare: theocratic socialism. It could come out of some of the stuff people like Huckabee have proposed. The state pays churches to deliver all social services for free as long as you say your prayers first. Free medicine if you pray. Free food to the hungry if they pray, all on the government dime.

Government paying churches to deliver social services is still big government and I’d rather have my socialism without the Jesus in it.
