Back on topic. TR's reputation as a "Trust Buster" was deserved, as was Taft's. Trusts and Monopolies achieved through unfair business practices and political influence are sociopathic inflictions upon a free and equal citizenry. What we have now is considerably different. Thanks to Hegel, Marx, and the Soviet Union. Now, the government is the primary inflictor through Crony Capitalism, confiscation of individual economic freedom for vote-buying, and preferential treatment for groups such as unions and other assorted victim groups. Bill, you're right, we need a figure like TR with the moral courage to fight these unconstitutional sociopaths, and to re-establish true American constitutional freedom and equality.

Obama and his ilk really care about the poor. They care about them so much that they're trying to insure than more Americans are poor. Then they can convince them that they're victims of evil capitalism and that they're actually morally entitled to other people's freedom. It must be true, Obama and his fellow statists say so.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
