The term 'big dic' has been woefully misused. Among defense contractors, big oil, etc are / were some rather significant accomplishments. Painting each industry with a broad brush implies a misunderstanding of the term or a misunderstanding of some members in that industry.
I have no appreciation of a blanket 'go after them' attitude for political reasons. My contempt of politicians comes from these politically inspired decisions. It also reeks of 'big dic' type thinking. There is good reason to be distressed by big pharma's corporate welfare provided by the George Jr medicaid prescription plan. Welfare that makes illegal the purchase of same drugs from the same factory but 40% cheaper in Mexico or Canada. That is simply anti-free trade - enrich the few at the expense of America. Yes, big pharma bought and paid for it - legally. Just look at the GOP coffers. But the devil here was not big pharma. The devil was a corrupt and dumb George Jr - and people so much like him such as Abramhoff.
Meanwhile, those who so hate America are easily identified. Their solution to problems is 'big dic' thinking which is why they love the mental midget president and quietly love the massacre of American troops in "Mission Accomplished". 'Big dics' somehow know from their feelings - facts, reality, and America be damned. Even worse, those 'big dic' types wrap themselves in the flag as if that proves intelligence.
'Big oil' sometimes gets a bad rap simply because, again, too much 'big dic' thinking even foolishly thinks oil prices are too high and that 'big oil' has somehow conspired to keep them high.
Meanwhile, best place to find the 'devil' in all this are Democrats and (worse) Republicans) who conspire to enrich themselves at your expense. Among the devils are some who actually do work for us. They are called the centrists. One who has repeated done so is PA's Senator Specter. He has recently and repeatedly used intelligent thought to confront the scumbag president. You must have respect for someone in Congress who can do just that when others such as PA's Senator Santorum intended to 'screw' us all using their 'big dic' rationalizations.
