Maybe he's ambidextrous, or bi-polar, and we get the best of both .

What is even more amazing is the National Review now claiming to be against corporatism, which is basically what the article does.

They are two sides of the same coin. It's not capitalism, it's crony corporatism -- also known as fascism -- and that, in turn is form of collectivism, as is socialism.

That's a lot of isms!

Where do you see the contradiction? For a moment, let’s forget the clueless National Review (they never really opposed GWs socialism/crony capitalism). Let’s go back to some fundamentals.

Why would Marx include the creation of the Central Bank in his Manifesto? Was he a crony capitalist? OK, US FED is a “private” organization, but is Japan/UK better off with their gov’t agencies posing as CBs? As most of us at iTulip know, the very idea of central banking is a complete failure. Whatever dogoodnik plans lie behind centralization of financial power, they will be always abused by the money bags.

Here is another example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._New_London.

In this historic legislation the Supreme Court (divided into 5 liberals vs 4 conservatives) nailed the last nail into the coffin of the private property rights. Why did the liberals do it? Because they believe in the GOOD GOVERNMENT, not in the limited one.

OK, I have nothing against the countries that support the POGG, but this is not the American way. Maybe, they are trying to turn US into Canada, but I have to warn them, they will miss the target and end up in Russia. It is absolutely obvious, this specific legislation will be abused by the money bags with enough dough to buy as much gov’t as they need. AMOF, they are doing it with Obama as we type.

Contradiction resolved.

+1. Well said.

I would only add: I think think of the problem more as "do good" government, rather than "good" government. When government began to endorse the idea that it's OK to be your neighbor's keeper, the problems that followed could just be considered "natural consequences."
