I guess the left should be the only ones allowed to do this as the right sits on their hands.

The short-bus crowd here is being either dishonest or monumentally stupid, as they’re pretending that this is happening in a vacuum. Conservatives typically want less regulation, this is a regulation, muh hypocrites.

But the world doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and the question here isn’t “should we have less government interference with private business?” That’s been answered in the real world, and unfortunately the answer is “no”. No, the question is “should the right play by the same rules the left is playing by?” I was in the “no” camp for a long time, but pragmatism has won out. The only way they’ll ever see the harm in stuff like this is when it’s shoved up their arse, so shove away.
