"You people are anti-capitalist" Correction: anti-One World Capitalist, which is merely the flip side of Marxism. Who do you think has been pushing for open borders all these years? One World Capitalists looking for cheap labor. Paleocons and liberals "both want to use government as a tool for telling people how to run their lives" Nonsense. You are confusing paleocons (who support diffusion of power and localization, including such initiatives as localized school vouchers) with Bush Republicans and Neocons. Most paleocons, like libertarians, correctly see the federal government as a dangerous, Soviet-like Leviathan that has become an enemy of Christianity. "you both want to turn back the clock on technological progress, and you both are haters of the free market." Most paleocons recognize trade is almost a natural law, so why would they bother hating it or trying to turn it back? Most, I believe, want it subordinated to its rightful place , not elevated to an ideology. Hyper-materialism (money worship), which is trade as ideology, is a Godless, destructive enterprise, because people in its grip, just like their Marxist-materialist counterparts, reduce existence to a ledger, and thus become capable of anything. It’s a “fire in the mind,” but one that is indoctrinated in business schools and universities across America and thus seen as respectable. It is not respectable. Sent at: 2008 10 13
