"And allowing our financiers to run unchecked is about as conservative as leaving the faucet running."
- Maurice Manning, "My Old Kentucky Conservatism", New York Times, 2012-11-05.
Manning has a lot more gems about how the so-called conservative Republicans are wasting resources, who have no other values than purely monetary gain and have "no interest in local preservation or local well-being" and who are "shortsighted, opportunistic and wasteful".
