Yesterday afternoon (3/20) NPR ran a story about the Illinois GOP Primary. You know, Santorum vs. Romney and Chicago vs. Downstate Illinios. So the reporter asks a Man On The Street question to an Illinois lady. What motivated you to come out and vote in the primary today?
Her answer: "The most important thing to me is that we get back to the Constitution and stop fooling around with socialism and anarchy."
And then the story moves on. No follow up questions, nothing. Just moves on, like it's a totally reasonable thing to say you're dissatisfied with the country's direction toward socialism and anarchy. She doesn't like the government controlling all means of production and centralized management of the economy, when there's no government to carry out these functions. Is that what she means? On second thought, maybe she has a point. That sounds like a pretty stupid system.
