In response to this piece by Joe Scarborough, I give you this:
It’s not even welfare. … If you want pure straight socialism, if you want to buy off people, do that.
You have the federal government writing checks to people for doing nothing. For doing absolutely nothing. This is as close to unprecedented of a total all out socialist bill as I've ever seen.
But I will tell you, I am personally concerned by any politician that talks about the redistribution of wealth- that the Warren court was not radical enough, I'm concerned when somebody tells a guy that wants to start a small business that he should be for spreading the wealth- these are things that cause concerns, not just conservative -- fiscal conservatives.
Maybe Newsweek is right. Maybe socialism is upon us.
And so mentioning that Scarborough is reflecting neo-McCarthyism is somehow "name-calling?"
That's funny.
In my defense, at least I didn't accuse him of Japanese-style sabotage -- you know, like Pearl Harbor. I also didn't accuse him of being dainty, or a Barbarian, or "a dork like Michael Dukakis," or "too stupid to be on TV."
Always happy to take lessons in civilized discourse from Joe Scarborough.
