Keynes spun whims, attracting bugs into his web of deceit. That he noted an injustice at the Versailles Treaty does not translate his own ideas as soundly revelatory. All sorts of ideologues saw the problem embedded in the heavy hand France dealt defeated Germany, notedly less harsh than the cruel hand Germany had dealt Russia in defeat. Keynes served himself, not humanity, with his economic theory, hardly humane considering his origins from extreme wealth. Note well that elitist Marxists and their subsequent subservient supporters all plot the return of the Dark Ages as they play the feudal order rulers over peons estranged from unalienable rights and any sense of identity or property.

John Maynard Keynes is considered one of the leading lights of liberal economics. Challenged by a critic who said that in the long run, Keynesian economics would lead to national bankruptcy, Keynes memorably responded with a witticism: “In the long run, we’re all dead.” Malcolm Muggeridge was a constant gadfly of British journalism. Saint Mugg could skewer even so high a personage as Lord Keynes. When someone repeated to Muggeridge Keynes’s famous dictum — in the long run we’re all dead — Muggeridge shot back. “Well, he would think that wouldn’t he? He was a predatory homosexual.” That line was considered below the belt. But there is more than an element of truth in it.

Conservatives are taught to think not only of ourselves, but of our children and of our children’s children. Conservative philosopher Edmund Burke memorably described all society as a compact between the dead, the living, and the yet unborn.

Keynesian economics is back in fashion in the U.S. and Britain today. Will it shackle future generations with a debt that cannot be borne, a debt that will suffocate all their hopes and aspirations? We are about to raise the debt ceiling to $13,900,000,000,000 or perhaps $14 trillion.

These numbers are really beyond comprehension. Former Ohio State University political science professor Phil Burgess says if we think of Nixon’s resignation as a billion years ago, then a trillion years ago would be 31,000 B.C. [The 14 trillion figure would take things back to 434,000 B.C.] Let’s hope neo-Keynesian economics doesn’t push us backward.

Cast the Democrats into their own hell. If we refuse to save ourselves from Marxist exploitation, we can save no one. Demand that our elected officials FIGHT TO WIN because these Democrats have declared war on Americans. WE ALL have the Constitution.

“the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency … By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens … As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless…”

This is but another piece.

There currently appears to be a very slim opportunity to reverse what is taking place on so many fronts.

We have a Congress that ignores the people and has for some time. Both parties. We have a President that appears to be intentionally destroying the country. We have a society rapidly and strong turning against both. We have an armed society. If things are not reversed, sooner or later, there will be violence on a significant scale.

Exactly. This is culture warfare. Political action in congress is the skirmish line along the front. Leftists have been hard at work for decades attacking American culture from the flanks, rear and center.

Where is that ‘civilian defense force’ that’s just as well- equipped and just as well-funded as the military?

Greta was stupid tonight,
Aslans Girl on December 18, 2009 at 5:30 AM

Greta is always stupid. She’s the female version of Geraldo or perhaps the male version Nancy Grace. She is also wrapped up in Scientology.

I have yet to understand why anybody is interested in her show since it is nothing more than gosssip about whatever famous figure is in the news.

“What’s extraordinary is that more Democrats have not wised up to the fact that they are being used as pawns in this larger liberal game.”

I believe the correct terminology is “useful idiots”.

I’ve never seen Bill so angry at a fellow conservative before. This was the face he usually saves for left-wing idiots. Laura should never have been treated like this. I don’t think she could see his face, if she had I wonder if she would’ve been so good-natured about his vile attack on her.

She wanted to go on his show, and Bill can be a blowhard at times…none of these people are sensitive or easily offended, they don’t care about this kind of thing.

“The entitlement crazes of the 1930s and 1960s also caused a backlash, but liberal Democrats know the programs of those periods survived. They are more than happy to sacrifice a few Blue Dogs, a Blanche Lincoln, a Michael Bennet, if they can expand government so that in the long run it benefits the party of government.

The difference is this is causing a frontlash, at this point. The backlash comes later. Back in the 30s and 60s those programs were a lot more popular going in and than this thing is right now. And the same is true with cap and trade. Both of these policies are very unpopular with the American people before they are signed into law…and that is different.

I think you nailed it. The problem is is that after the Leftists ultimately fail, they leave an unmitigated disaster in their wake (foreign policy, economy [see Jimmy Carter]) that it takes years to clean up the mess. Plus whatever bureaucracies they establish grow like a slow incurable cancer, or like a narcotic that addicts millions of citizens who refuse to get clean and sober, which is why people think that they are actually entitled to entitlements as if that’s what the founding fathers had in mind all along.

Whether it’s greed, power or anti-American ideology, what the Leftists wreak on us is the same: our destruction. Voting them out of office will do no good unless we take over the schools, purge the disciples of Ayers and burn the textbooks written by Zinn, Chomsky and Alinsky and their acolytes.

Their goal is destroy the family, destroy our history, heritage and collective memory of it and imprison us as permanent wards of the state. Unless we can somehow take a stand now, this will all not end well.

You guys keep saying that, but it didn’t look like it to me. More like a good-natured ribbing is all. They were both laughing, I don’t know if there is a backstory though…
Mord on December 17, 2009 at 11:25 PM

Bill did not laugh. He had the ugliest, angriest expression on his face, esp. by the time he said that she had an “iv” of kool-aid on her arm. My mom, after watching this, said that he was “vicious” and “attacked” her. I’ve never seen Bill so angry at a fellow conservative before. This was the face he usually saves for left-wing idiots. Laura should never have been treated like this. I don’t think she could see his face, if she had I wonder if she would’ve been so good-natured about his vile attack on her.

I wish she, Ann C (whom Bill was really rude to a couple months ago as well), Dick Morris, Karl, and Newt would all boycott BOR’s stupid show. The only reason why Bill is sometimes watchable is when he has these guests on. If they all refused to be on, his ratings would drop. I can’t stand him.

Greta was stupid tonight, too, having a major plug for “Avator”. I was so disgusted that she was reminding people of the date it was in theatres and interveiwing one of the actors, I changed the channel.

So this is all about stopping Palin? I see

And I think the leftists do not understand. If they make it so that a Ronald Reagan is impossible. They open the door for a George Washington, Thomas Jefferon, Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine etc

There’s an incredible amount of wisdom in that statement. Friday’s QOTD!

AnninCA on December 18, 2009 at 2:50 AM

just ignore it.

What gives?

I had nearly 20 messages today.

Help!
