It was always odd how the conservative Republicans warmed up to the Right-Wing Christian Faction.  How was it that a religion that preached love thy neighbor came to be so closely aligned with the party of go get your own?  What did they have in common?  Abortion is something for the religious but which business really has no concern. Why would it effect them, unless one is to consider that abortion shrinks their market by so many unborns.  Today it has become clear.  It's based on the power of faith.  Faith in things that defy reason despite all evidence to the contrary.

We are being reminded daily through the mainstream media that the Republicans still insist trickle down works and tax cuts are the only way to restore the economy.  FDR was evil and he did everything wrong.  Republicans have spent decades dismantling regulations because they are a burden on a market that will self-regulate if left alone.

After the New Deal brought this country out of the Great Depression and the deregulating activities of the Bush Administration have brought us back to a pre-FDR economy, why are we still hearing this?    Faith!  Irrational, fantasy-based, completely unfounded faith is why we hear this.  At this point, it is right up there with the literal interpretation of the Bible.  Someone who chooses to believe the world was created in seven days, people originated in the Garden of Eden, the world was flooded when it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and etc., will cling to the belief deragulated capitalism works.  But what objective evidence do we have of that today?  None!  You just have to believe.
