"The media's "conservative" and "liberal" characters fight and bicker with each other, mostly over trivialities (just like professional wrestlers), but the underlying premise of both sides is always more government control. Let's be real here, there is no genuine "for" and "against" government opposition on the "Democrat vs. Republican Show."

Dick "Big Government" Morris
theCL 2011-03-08
Dick Morris, the former Democrat who now thinks he can tell conservatives how to defeat "Obama's socialist programs," showed his true (Big Government) colors on the Peter Schiff Show, that is, right before making an ass of himself by hanging up the phone.

Washington, DC is nothing more than another version of Hollywood, one that serves up cheap entertainment (with serious consequences). It's professional wrestling in a suit. Politics in American anymore, is a complete joke.
The same handful of pundits, politicians, and "experts" have been giving "political advice" for as long as I can remember. Strange isn't it? Because you'd think new people with new ideas would come along every once an awhile. Especially when you consider the fact that most Americans, year after year, and election cycle after election cycle, feel they've been Punk'd.
Because they have.
Here's how it works. The Elite chooses people to play the role of "conservative" or "liberal," then the media announces to the audience (general public) who is who. Because 95% of Americans haven't picked up a book since graduating high school, they haven't read (or even heard of) people like Russell Kirk, Robert Nisbet, Richard Weaver, Frank Chodorov, or Murray Rothbard (forbidden topics in government-run schools). Therefore, they don't know anything about the Old Right or genuine conservative and libertarian philosophy. So, when the media tells them someone like Dick Morris is "conservative," they just assume this is true. Because hey, if it's on TV or in the newspaper, it must be true!
The media's "conservative" and "liberal" characters fight and bicker with each other, mostly over trivialities (just like professional wrestlers), but the underlying premise of both sides is always more government control. Let's be real here, there is no genuine "for" and "against" government opposition on the "Democrat vs. Republican Show." It's a battle over which brand of socialism gets pushed through Congress this year.
This is why the "conservative" Dick Morris declares Ron Paul (R-TX) to be "horrible." Paul, who thinks the federal government should be strictly limited to its constitutionally enumerated powers, represents a genuine threat to American socialism, making him a threat not only to the media's narrative, but to the Republican Party's wish to keep socialism alive. Socialism means power, while limiting government means limiting power. And we can't have that, now can we?
When Dick Morris ended his interview with Schiff abruptly by hanging up the phone, he showed he was only able to talk about what had been pre-approved and carefully practiced ... apparently, character actors don't like to work off script
Far from being "against' Big Government, Dick Morris would like to:
- Drug test every high school student.
- Drug test everybody that gets a student loan.
What Morris is basically saying here is, your kids are belong to the government, which will poke and prod them as they see fit. Parents just can't be trusted with those young impressionable minds.
Of course, Dick Morris thinks it's "appropriate" for the government to confiscate your paycheck to "provide" student loans too. Loans that have driven the price of college tuition sky high, creating their own "need" for more loans (and more money out of your paycheck). That's right! Even your money are belong to the government in Morris' worldview.
Dick Morris isn't "conservative" by any stretch of the imagination. He just plays one on TV.
