The Atrocity of Hope, Part 19:  Droning On

The Atrocity of Hope, Part 19: Droning On

Jan 30

By Roderick

The politerati are all aflutter because GOP party hack Reince Priebus compared our President Incarnate to Francesco Schettino, the cruise ship captain who’s been charged with manslaughter in connection with the recent shipwreck off the coast of Italy.

Crispin Sartwell writes: perhaps it seems obvious that it is in the interests of poor people to have an extremely powerful and pervasive state; perhaps it seems obvious that it is in the interests of rich people to have a tiny powerless state. however, looking at the thing squarely, this is the opposite of obvious.

Let Both Grow Together Until the Harvest

Dec 09
