Here's The Conservative Answer to Our Problems, Spelled Out

By World Net Daily regular, Star Parker, in an unusually forthright manner:

"Consider a fundamental difference between business and government. Any businessman operating successfully is in touch with reality, with change, and acts with speed to make adjustments necessary to survive.

Businesses are not democracies, so a CEO can execute what needs to be done on the spot.

Government is the opposite. It is allergic to change. They say government programs are like headless nails. Once in they’re impossible to get out. Programs produce interests who then fight change.

So it should be obvious that if we want a nation that is vibrant, in touch with reality, changing as it needs to in a timely way, the reach of government must be limited."

Businesses are not democracies; our government is.  That's the problem with it.  Government needs to be more like businesses; i.e. dictatorships.

Thanks for clearing things up for us, Star. I couldn't have put the end goal of conservatives any clearer than that myself.

What she's getting at is that businesses have to satisfy the customer or they go broke (unless they are the crony crapitalist variety in bed with the government, like GM)

Government doesn't have to satisfy anybody. We had a gargantuan intelligence failure exposed on 9/ll. Nobody got fired, instead we gave the failures more money, which is what we do for all government failures.

Look at how telephone technology took off and prices came way down once government relinquished its state monopoly on the technology.

Walter E. Williams, economics PhD explains it all here

Don't let the word "Jewish" in the url scare you off. It's a good read.

That is not what she is getting at at all, Silverfiddle, and you know it perfectly well. She is lamenting the fact that our government does not have a strong man at the head of it, who can do anything he wants- in business, a CEO, in government a dictator.

This is 100% obvious in what she says, and is exactly what conservatives really think.

It's actually the opposite of what conservatives want, especially those who value Hayek's writing, but if it makes you happy to believe it, go right ahead.

Did you read Dr. Williams' piece?

Make whatever claims you want, Silverfiddle. It is clear from this person's remarks that she has nothing but disdain for democracy, and longs for a government that rules by the command of the strong. That is what we were talking about here, however much you want to deny it.

Can you provide a link so I can read the whole article?

The strongman as leader is a progressive dream and something small government libertarians particularly disdain.

We don't want someone in government able to make quick decisions for us. We want to make our own decisions
You want someone that will decide as you do and say the crap you want to hear SF.


Government is the protector of rights and freedom.

"Government is the protector of rights and freedom."

Yes.

I want someone who does what the constitution says and who otherwise shuts the hell up and leaves people alone to order their own lives.

Republicans choose their members based on right of blood or tractability. Either the politician must be have an aristocratic name (Quayle, Romney, Bush, Paul) or they must be willing to vote the Plutocratic Party Line. And this years crop is no different Angle, O'Donnell, Linda McMahon will vote whatever way they are told and Rand Paul, Ben Quayle have the proper "Blood".

This is why so many Teabaggers liek SilverFiddle hate Obama he's got the wrong blood...
