"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Right-Wing "Journalism" As Usual

Stephen Hicks wants to know why he was called a Marxist on Andrew Breitbart's Big government web site. Hicks is fairly well know within conservative intellectual circles. But clearly those circles are a very small, and increasingly smaller, subset of the conservative movement. Still, one quick Google search would have shown the man is about as far from Marxist as you can get.

As Virginia Postrel noted, "The level of stupidity and sloppiness here is breathaking." the post, and the comments from Breitbart's readers, live up to every caricature the left has of conservatives.
