  • @BigDirtyBasterd "Know your history, the KKK was supported by Democrats"

    Correction; Conservatives

    If you look at the voting history of the south, you will see that it was a stronghold for the Dems when the KKK was formed. Then listen to what they said back then and what they still say today. If you take out the racial slurs, it is exactly what we all hear during the Republican debates ... states rights, the Civil rights act is unconstitutional, a nanny state, White people R under attack

  • @BigDirtyBasterd Public schools are a socialism, say it, it won't hurt.

    A truly free market would be roller-coaster of uncertainty spiked with poison products and monopolies.

    The government doesn't make you buy land, a house, or a place to stay but if you want yo live more than say 12 years you do.

    You can't drive without insurance. Hell, you need government permission to drive and you'd better be glad we do.

  • @1337wafflezz Byrd "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck" ... "was sorely afflicted with tunnel vision —a jejune and immature outlook—seeing only what I wanted to see because I thought the Klan could provide an outlet for my talents and ambitions."...  "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."

    Please read a book

  • @nutt66 Is that why Robert Byrd was accepted by Democrats as House Majority whip until the late 80s? You're a fool. The Republicans haven't changed all that much since the party's founding ideology. It is the Democrats that have switched from treating minorities as slaves, to perceiving them as children.

  • Wow what a realistic look at Rand, and Ron Paul. xD

  • Even now we see China and other countries calling for a change to another currency that will actually hold its value. For example, a currency based on oil (where a paper note can be redeemed for some quantity of crude) would serve well. But this would destroy the US government's ability to monetize (inflate) itself out of bankruptcy.

  • It's not the value of the silver dime as a dime that makes it valuable enough to purchase a gallon of gas. It's the value of the raw silver (for example, melted from the dime) that can buy a gallon of gas today. It illustrates how the government has completely destroyed the value of our currency, so that the dollar is a joke. The only thing that makes it valuable at all is that every other country has devalued its currency even MORE.

  • Where's "Growing Up Paul: Part 3"?? :(

    Btw, did Ron Paul REALLY say insurance is socialism? Did he mean ALL insurance or just public insurance?

  • Austrian economists and proponents who, for whatever reason, seem to FEAR rigorous empirical studying and analysis of actual data, are being left behind because they can't realize how outdated and absurd their methods are. ANYONE can do what they do- write silly books inferring a relationship between this or that economic factor on a more logical or philosophical basis with only a little bit of data and facts thrown in here and there.

  • Austrian economists may have some good points to make, but they muddy the waters with the rest of their bullshit on EVERYTHING ELSE. In 2011, when the economy and technology are SO ADVANCED, even much more so than just the past 60-70 years alone (when Hayek and Mises wrote their 'best' books), we CAN'T just rely on logical and philosophical BS "methods" of determining what is and isn't an economic truth! The world is far too complex. RIGOROUS STUDIES have to be done.

  • @SpareSimian Well, to be fair, I'm sure at least a handful of prominent Keynesians DID predict the crash. Plus, those bankers who fucked up their busineses, like Lehman and Bear Sterns, sure as FUCK didn't see it coming! And I'll hazard a guess and say that most of the people running those companies PROBABLY weren't Keynesians but more right-leaning economically.

    The fact that more Austrians predicted the crash DOES NOT necessarily mean Austrians were "totally right" about everything.

  • @whoo689 I guess that's why the Austrians failed to predict the bubbles while the Keynesians saw them coming. Oh, wait. It was the AUSTRIANS who saw them coming well in advance and the Keynesians who swore up until the collapse that everything was fine!
