My anger is coming from the men on other threads right here on this site openly advocating the physical murder of bankers, and others merely gleeful that the wealth of others is being destroyed wholesale. Look around. My anger is directed at the blind partisan blame games will our country is burning. Does anyone here gives a rats rumpus about the bleeding country? Or is all if it just another excuse to made snide remarks about hated opponents to amass more personal power?

Conservatism is supposed to be about character. It is supposed to be about competence and merit and ability to execute. It is supposed to be about the good of the people and helping lift all together, not the class warfare crap we despise the left for engaging in. It is supposed to be about knowing economics, not just having a vested interest and a bet. It is supposed to be about patriotism and putting the country first. It is supposed to be about being superior to press pressure and mad crowd passions. It is supposed to be responsible, grown up, and sane.

Look around you. Any of that strongly in evidence over this financial crisis?

When a weak hurricane headed for the Louisiana coast on the eve of the Republican convention, men dropped everything to show their concern for an issue of common welfare. It was obvious they feared being blindsided by apparent indifference to another Katrina scale disaster, but they did what they should do in such circumstances. You see any of that over the Wall Street mess?

I've seen maybe 3 government officials, from top to bottom, show real spin-free technocrat sense in this entire crisis. Everyone else is just playing it for angles and could care less what they burn to the ground in the process. These people aren't fit to run a hotdog stand, and they want to run my country. You bet I'm mad!
