Interesting. In the "Dropout" article, there is a line which deserves to be repeated over and over.

"Embrace failure".

This is, at its very core, what drives the differentiation between political views.

Liberals fear and hate failure. This is why they enjoy the fruits of the entrepreneur, but wish to deny the entrepreneur his just reward by taxing him. They are jealous of others who are willing to take risks, they are jealous of those who accepted failure is possible.

Liberals believe that protecting all of us from failure is a "good".

Liberals don't understand how what they want increases moral hazard, and they don't understand how moral hazard undermines and destroys market conditions.

Or they do, and want to see this happen so they can pursue their political agenda.

Can't be said better. 'Lose' is the reciprocal of 'win'. They and only they enable each other.

'Moral hazard' is the great unspoken theme of the entire left. The term is a sweet euphemism for 'self-corruption', which is the process of leftwardization. Egged on by false prophets, in an activity known as 'supporting the Democratic Party platform'.

The image needs "Wall Street means nothing to me, they just have huge bank accounts."

The image of Obama is from the Out of Order blog.

All of Dale's illustrations and comments are excellent.

--thye universal constant in human affairs has got to be Murphy's Law. i mean, first the 'if it can, it will' Murphy baseline produces, in the best and brightest culture there at the heart of the only continent that counts, a total leader as an embodiment --and he's a compleat murder-death worshipper!

"Good Gravy," exclaims we, "...what could be worse?"

Well, lessee, while all this horror is being perpetrated on the innocent, whilst this self-appointed (at a minimum) Anti-Christ rampages in a sea of blood, there'll be no smoking, dammit!
