Bankers Are Like Hitler and Stalin
and I love serving food to brutal dictators, says idiot chef.
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

ReplyDeleteHitler and Stalin? Ridiculous.

preteek,
ReplyDeleteI've often done business with people that I find unsavory, so I don't see much of a problem there.
I mean, if there is a racist businessman, it would be to his benefit to also do business with those that he feels are inferior with regard to race, even if he finds those individuals unsavory due to his own beliefs.
