Reply to CEO Mike Stenhouse 's Center for Freedom

Mike, I will listen to any any pragmatic idea that will create jobs for the jobless. But this love affair with capitalist, free market buzz words has all the fervor of a religious revival with the Born Again TV evangelist telling the credulous faithful to make Jesus their partner in business. Or if you are not religious, there is always crackpot Ayn Rand with her "Virtue of Selfishness". And also the mob of Tea Party true believers in the magic of the capitalist profit system.

How many working class people can you convert to the religion of capitalism? A lifetime of exploitation and oppression has taught them nothing about the real nature of the beast? Capitalists are capitalists for the benefit of the working class?

Reactionary Red Eye Radio (John DePetro's station) just told me that state workers have no inherent right to a union. Expert on inherent rights, the ONE WAY TALKER also tells us there is no inherent right to a job if you are jobless, no inherent right to medical care if you are sick, no inherent right to your own liberal-progressive-socialist Talk Radio Show if you do not own a radio station. No inherent right to a college education if you are poor.

But is there any CLASS with a greater sense of entitlement than our own ONE PERCENT plutocracy? They think they own the whole world by divine right. They all have the mentality of a cheap, lousy, lying, cheating Slum landlord. That is your capitalism in all its glory.

President Obama's real problem is that he is a Neo-Democrat who makes FDR look like a flaming Bolshevik.

NOTE: Mike Stenhouse is the CEO of the Rhode Island for Freedom and Prosperity in Cranston. This is a reply to his pro-capitalist blather in the Cranston Herald (letter, November 13). He is welcome to COMMENT on my blog here.
