I forgot!
Did you see that cartoon with a bunch of Rhinos (RINOS) under a coat with an elephant head on it?
The sad state of the party just kills me right now!
Missed the cartoon, got the testosterone reference! lol
The most important chapter in R2S is the one called "Why the Worst Get on Top." It blows away the myth that if we just had the right people in charge, everything would run like clockwork in a nationalized economy.
Won't happen, because the Evil Ones invariably displace the do-gooders.
Rather than wasting precious time trying to put "good people" at the monster machine's controls, we need to disable the controls and/or destroy the machine. We need to do everything possible to make a U-turn once that fateful road Hayek describes is taken. Not go slower, not apply the brakes, but turn plumb around and head back.
Did you mean for that to be phrased the other way around, i.e., how many Republicans claim to be conservative?
Offhand, I'd guess there's more of them than there were a few years ago. Whether that means anything is open to debate, though, since "conservative" has come to mean "Bushbot" to much of the world at large.
Why read, we are there already.
Great post.
One of my favorite reads of all time.
My favorite three:
Bible
Road to Serfdom
Reagan: Role of a Lifetime
Globalism -Socialism in a business suit.

Or create a new place where the machine doesn’t yet exist.
I don’t know if it’s possible anymore though. The planet has become much smaller.
You can lead a jackass to the water, but you can't make him drink.
