Vin says: Fuck This "Loyal Opposition" Bullcrap

"Sen. McCain did not merely "do a poor job" articulating the philosophy of expansive liberty and limited government. He failed to articulate it at all....Those who suffered a year's worth of frustration waiting for John McCain to sound that rallying cry are now criticized for acting "bitter" about the Nov. 4 results. We are expected to act like the losing team after a sporting contest, lining up to shake hands with the victors.
The problem is, socialism is not a game played on a 60-minute clock within the "out-of-bounds" markers, where you're free to come back and try again, with the scoreboard set back to zero-zero, next season.
In the 20th century, socialism -- which comes in many forms, but always involves the use of armed force or the threat of force to seize wealth from the productive class and redistribute it to the less creative, the less innovative, the less industrious -- murdered millions, and impoverished hundreds of millions more. The socialists never enter the next round with the scoreboard "reset to zero" -- they consolidate the gains of 1912 and 1932 and 1964 and 2008, digest their new powers and all the wealth they've confiscated from their victims, and then -- swollen with all they have devoured -- ask, "Play again?"
