Where are all the conservatives, libertarian types, the anti- government, free market, private enterprise worshiping, socialist hating, commie denouncing Right Wingers, and their ilk, with whom those of us on this site on the Left have done battle since the site began?

Now the economic world is collapsing, and every type of government bail out, support, public services, and public investment is clamored for, where are the Right Wingers on this site who have denounced here anything government as evil, an affront to their liberty, and taxation as theft and nothing more.

They've gone mighty quiet here, it seems to me.

The Bernie haters, who cried out against his Cuba style Communism, or so they said it was. Nothing lately from them.

I trust they haven't succumbed to that dreaded disease, Reality Check Syndrome, when the brain is forced to accept the reality of The Public Interest, and the government's role in taking action for the public good. (Well, some are trying to in America. Just not Republicans).

Perhaps they are on intellectual ventilators, pumping oxygen to the reason part of their brains.

Or maybe they are just waiting for a cheque from the evil thieving government.

Nice not to hear from them. Hope it continues.
