Economics and Moral Courage | Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

[mator79]

Extensive history, zero reasoning. He mentions the importance of data and analyzing underlying aspects, and then he presents none. You must be very confused to call New Deal a fascist system, regardless of it's economic merits.

[lonewolf1369]

@mator79 what the hell were these 'economic merits' of the new deal? It accomplished nothing, except maintaining unemployment around 20%, squandering vast capital and resources, forcing food rationing, introducing and keeping permanent big government spending agencies that are unproductive and hamper the market.

[raymondpronk]

Should be required viewing of all students and teachers of economics.

Thank you Lew.

I think a large portion of the protesters in DC would NOT agree with Mises and in fact are against the kind of freedom Mises would approve. Although they were all anti-government, many also believe that we should be some kind of Christian nation and that The Bible trumps The Constitution.

[ronpaulspanish]

AWESOME!!

[Akito12345]

Awesome.

[harryogre]

Lew Rocks!

Lew should be elected as the world czar of anarchy.

If you don't find that funny you have no understanding of irony and you should go find a Murray Rothbard book to read!

[soundmoneyfan]

Lew is the man!

[tylerwylie]

Man, Lew can speak.

[olmofo]

Bravo!

[mpamwar]

GREAT SPEECH!!!

[Questfortruth86]

epic.

[JessicaBelle81]

Lew tends to put me to sleep when he reads from a pre-written speech.

[dradeel]

Hehe, true. The words aren't so much "alive" when it's just read up and not spoken freely, but still; it was a very well written speech! ^^

SUPPORT HR 1207 Audit the FED

problem is the libertarians aligned themselves with the right wing nut jobs who are waiting for the rapture. if you don't shake these people Libertarians aren't going anywhere

[Scottit]

What does a right wing nut job stand for?

How many are there?

Why do think that libertarians align w/the nutty far right? That's not true.

Look at the Nolan chart.

[marniespeaks]

the libertarians party has been usurped by the nut jobs didn't you see Glenn Becks march last week end

[Scottit]

What did the nutjobs do? Please be specific.

These events to protest excess government & infringement on freedom have 10s of 1,000s of people. Well over 100,000 in DC.

Are you trying to judge the whole group based upon a few "lunatics"? That is the same kind of generalizing that racism is.

[marniespeaks]

the number was roughly 70k -

the lunatics get the PR, you ought to know that by now.

[Scottit]

I question only 70k, rather than over 100k, but that distinction is irrelevant. I also dispute "lunatic & fringe" coverage, elaborate please.

Point is that many people oppose the leftist direction & big gov taken by BO.

You still have not answered the questions from last 2 posts.

The nut-jobs &/or edge positions--what are their goals & how many?

You are making vague generalizations that cannot be backed by any facts.

I did not see hoods or swastikas & that is not the ideology of 99%+.

[marniespeaks]

do you knwo what PR is?

Just wondering where were you when Bush sent 5000 Americans to die in Iraq?

[Scottit]

Marnie,

Puerto Rico might be better.

What does public relations & the defense-offense of the US against extremist Muslims have to do with the economy & big gov?

For the 3rd time, who are the nutjobs, what do they stand for & how many?

Protesters have valid complaints re: big gov. Labeling them with baseless, vague words, shows your ignorance (like Pelosi) & lack of substance & fallacious misdirection.

When you cannot back up wild generalizing claims, you should

[marniespeaks]

PR = Public Relations.

[Scottit]

Moanie,

I already answered your irrelevant question accurately. Pleas try to pay attention.

You keep avoiding the challenge to your false claims.

Why do you randomly make things up without any evidence. As the leftist that you are, please don't try to take money & freedom from others, AND please don't falsely accuse others or generalize about a whole group on a very few which don't even exist.

You should really finish that GED.

[marniespeaks]

d00d, you need some anger management, you're social skills are dismal. I'm fairly certain I must be one of many to put you on ignore.

What ever your issues are or the fact that you lack the attention you need please get you some help.

Now shoo!

[Scottit]

marnie,

You make no sense as usual.

Anger? Where?

Social skills? This is not to make friends.

I'm trying to have an intellectual discussion, but you have failed, not answering any questions, dodging the issues, vague insulting, twisting items, & such.

You don't need to blame me because you have limited knowledge on the issues & cannot back your points.

I'm trying to educate on facts & principles, and see what leftists think, but you have shown little thought.

[TheRealFallenDemon]

We don't align with anyone, we just happen to have common goals and as a result get thrown in with idiots like that.

[marniespeaks]

they are getting the PR and you're lumped in with them - that's how it's played out and unless you have someone who is willing to stand up against them you're stuck with them

unfortunately, your side thinks they can use them to get some PR, any PR, but it will bite your cause in the ass in the end

[marniespeaks]

common goals like we are all Americans and human beings?

[harryogre]

marniespeaks

I think maybe you touch on a truth but you may miss something.

Its not the libertarians that align themselves with these nut jobs, its the nut jobs that align themselves with libertarians whenever their statist neocon BS fails and they need our vote to return them to power that they align with us and sing the praises of liberty. Libertarians make the mistake of trusting these bozos.

[marniespeaks]

I think I said that somewhere around here...

The GOP and the GOP nut jobs usurped the Libertarian Party.

The surprising thing is how easy it was.

[ZamatoElite]

Great speech! Incredibly interesting and inspiring.

[neniuki]

Bravo.

[OttoVonKonrad]

Wow, what a history!
