Blurring the truth to make himself sound more credible already. He'll fit right in.

Yeah, if anyone was an advocate for free markets, it was Jesus.

After all, remember how he made a boatload of shekels cornering the commodities market for loaves and fishes right at peak demand?

Dave Brat, my sphincter's from heaven also. Would you like to kiss it?

Did his win get hurt when it fell from heaven?

Maybe Brat's win will cheer Collectivism_sucks up. He's been awfully depressed lately. Brat sounds like his type of guy.

#5 you are correct sir.

Every one of every people on the face of this earth is a child of God.

I don't understand how this is even a question.
Even the topic he was prepared for last night (minimum wage) elicited a nonsensical response.

I'd say that I pity this guy's students, but I actually pity the people that will be forced to listen to his students blather about the invisible hand and Mises and takings and all that.

From a further investigation, it appears that Brat has no Tea Party support at all, and in fact, was a much of a surprise to them as to the mainstream GOP.

Brat is a causing shock waves not because of his complete lack of affiliation with any side. His campaign contributions were in the low thousands. He is what the Establishment fear more than any well funded, and bought out, "socialist". An independent man.

Also, while Princeton Theological Seminary is not part of the regular college or graduate school, it is situated such that it would be quite easy for their students to tangle with the "intellectual elite". It could have happened at the Athenian pizza parlor, whose menu boasted it had "atmosphere too much".

Brat is right markets are not left/right in the old sense.

Socialism is dead.

Do you know what socialism is in Europe & USA? Higher/more equitable taxation and more/better regulation. The old "means of production" stuff is gone. Capitalism has won that round as a way of organizing production.

Our socialism = 1930 liberalism

And I like it.

You think this is capitalism? Hah...

We've been a world Marxist state since 1980.
That was the change!

@5: and there we see the social libertarian left and randian libertarian right agreeing. take the bugfuck insane evangelical christianity out of the equation and there may be some common ground to dislodge the corporate centrists.

but probably not.

@13 WTF? Good god you are stupid.

The Koch Foundation morphed into the Cato Institute, which finances various conservative colleges. The Cato Institute paid the conservative college where Brat is an "economics professor" to hire him, and urged rightwing commentators like Limbaugh to talk Brat up to their listeners. He didn't have to spend any time campaigning, and he didn't have to raise any money. He was bought and paid for just as Reagan was in the 1970s, and W was in the 1990s. This may have been shocking to most people, but it had been planned for some time. Liberals better wake up pretty soon; because the Tea Party is not dead, and this won't be the only Tea Party victory in the next several years.

@15

Stupidity is relative. How stupid would he be in comparison to other people?

25,000 kids under 5 died of starvation and disease Tuesday, because God was busy fixing the Republican primary for the 7th District in Virginia.

People who talk like Brat believe in a psychopathic God.
