The Liberal Mindset ala Frank Rich and the NYT

On display in this column by  Frank Rich of the NYT, is the mental rot that over time infects the liberal's mind causing its victim to live in a make-believe world of conspiratorial capitalist evil doers, like in this case Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers.    Poor Frank can't stand success (he is working for the NYT of course) and just knows there is something, somehow amiss when it happens.  It simply can't be that these people have created successful corporations that hire hundreds of thousands of people, create wealth that allows them to contribute to worthy charities, pay millions in taxes for bureaucrats to largely waste.  Nope, they must be rigging the system by buying politicians who believe as they do in the free enterprise, free market capitalist system that has provided a higher standard of living for millions all over the world.  Poor Frank, and all the other envy driven liberals, who dream of a perfect world where everyone has all they want made possible by a benevolent government that plans and provides for all.  On the other hand these very same liberals have nothing to say about George Soros and his collection of buddies like the co-CEOs of Golden Financial (big time mortgage peddlers bailed out by the gov't) who mostly made their bundles manipulating markets and taking advantage of government interference in free markets, but who support right thinking types like Frank and Obama, and on and on.  And boy do they love FDR because he created most of the government programs that led us directly to the debacle of the last few years.  It's mostly amusing that Frank's mental acuity is so far gone he can't  understand how Murdoch's Fox news commentators can criticize the Ground Zero mosque project when a major Saudi investor in News Corp thinks it's a wonderful idea.  Frank, and his cohorts, need help. They could start by reading Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, something they obviously failed to do when they were getting those expensive, elitist Ivy League educations.
