The Private Sector is in a Bullfight

And it’s the bull. So far, Obama’s picadors and toreadors have stabbed, slashed, and otherwise compromised the bull of American capitalism. Don’t kid yourself: they’re going for the kill. Most of the crowd is cheering, but a few are starting to figure out that when this bull is gone, there is no more meat, ever. Moreover, a few are actually starting to worry about what it will be like to be the next “bull” when this one is gone—because there will be another bull.

The unbelievably idiotic and dangerous decision of the United States Supreme Court to deny the Chrysler bondholder claims—and thus reverse the holdings that have stood for almost two centuries in the Dartmouth case, whereby a contract is a contract—is just one more example of the reality that there can be no compromise with any branch in this current government group. We need a thorough housecleaning, including the Court, beginning with this racist Sonya Sotomayor. If I, as a professor, dared say publicly that because I’m a white male I’m “wiser” than all those black folk (or “them Jews” as Rev. Jeremiah Wright called them yesterday), then I’d rightly be out on my ear. The fact that she is even being considered for this position is deeply troubling, and old and ailing Ruth Buzzie Ginsburg will be the next to retire, allowing Zero to stick in an even more radical woman/lesbian/black/homosexual/Hispanic/whatever.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. Or, better yet, get active. Get very, very active. We truly don’t have much time.
