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.

OK, on much of this I agree with you. But I think tonight a lot of people here lost some serious coin and they're concerned it could be worse tomorrow. It's not theoretical when it's the money you were going to use to send a child to college or take that early retirement package. And people here feel that our leaders set them up with bad banking policy. Policy that's functioned so badly it's like a thief stealing money out of our pockets. I am angry about this - and yeah - part of that is a desire to kick butt and take names.

More tomorrow.

Fix the problem. Kicking butts fixes nothing. Have we learned that from 7 years of useless partisanship from the left on security, or haven't we? Fix. The problem. Policy sound, that is what matters, and blame-game buck-passing just destroys everything it touches at times like this. The Treasury didn't do its job today because blame games over Bear scared them out of it. Grok that, please. I mean, understand it. All the way down.
