I knew there was something I liked aboutVictor Hanson:
“Most Democrats we saw this year …Howard Dean, Al Gore, John Kerry, Terry McAuliff, and John Edwards…either grew up in aristocratic bounty or are themselves multimillionaires. Does this matter?….only in the sense of sincerity and consistency. When Republican grandees talk of the glories of the free market you know what you get; when very liberal grandees talk of its evils, you have only the assurance that what they advocate and whom they champion most certainly will have little to do with the lives they themselves will live. And the message is no longer one of guaranteed equality of opportunity but of forced equality of results…as long as we accept that such a utopia applies for everyone else outside the world of corporate Ketchup money, astronomical trial lawyer fees, inherited Kennedy capital, Park-Avenue bond security, Sun Valley, and prep-school privilege.”
