Re: Will Bush pull a Chavez?
but his whole administration has been about the ends justifying the means
That's the neocon mindset, not just in politics, but in business and life. I'm not talking about the ones that got roped in on a wedge issue or because their daddy taught them to always vote that way. I'm talking about the outspoken, abrasive, me me me, interrupt you, talk over you, cut you off in traffic, thinks Coulter's voice is soothing ones...
The end always justifies the means.
We are not in this together. I'm here to get mine. If you can get yours, that's great, but I have no qualms about getting mine at the expense of you getting yours.
It is better to out cheat the cheater than to cry foul.
Business is business. Get what you can any way you can. If you got it, you earned it and it's justified no matter how you did it.
It's not illegal if you don't get caught at it.
Screw making a better product when I can leverage my capital to make it harder on my competition.
Etc...
Before you invite me on board for a veggie burger, imo hard left wing kooks are just as bad or worse imo.
