When Politicians Were Sane: William McKinley

In an effort to counter the stupidity spread by the Free Trade worshiping numbskulls in the Republican/ Democratic parties, various anti-thinking tanks that infect Washington and your average clueless economics professor, I thought it worthwhile to read some speeches from one of the more thoughtful and insightful presidents that we've had in this nation, William McKinley, president from 1897 to 1901. The last of the Lincoln Republicans, tireless defender of the American System of industry and protective tariffs, hard working politician, defender of the rights of the average working stiff, devoted husband, Civil War veteran, and an honest Christian in the real sense of what they should be.

@Salvysahagun Sounds like classic gang-counter gang methods of those lovable oligarchs.

Some time these guys make sense.

I think Karl Popper has done a great job of deploying his right wing allies (Hayek, and Mises) to go to war with his left wing pawns (Soros via MoveOn.org)

Love to talk sometime. My plan is to move to Mexico and teach List, and Carey

@Salvysahagun It's better that you go after the axiomatics of their beliefs, which tend to view mankind as just another animal. Modern day libtards in general don't have a clue about industry or productive processes unlike when manufacturing and farming dominated in McKinley's time. Today, porn or video games are referred to as "industries", which is a perversion of the term literally as well as figuratively.

How to convince a Austrian to convert to the American System.

Me: Do you agree that in a market economy that if the people produce enough even if its initially cheap labor , the wage would rise indirectly because of the increase in production?

Mises-fan: YES! finally some one gets it!

Me: So wouldn't it be best to protect those industries?

@Salvysahagun Hell yes, especially with Obama attempting to loot Social Security.

@Amiduffer

William Mckinley would dennounce Modern Day Republicans

would Franklin Roosevelet denoucne Modern Day Democrats?

@Amiduffer

the question isn't so much

"what is the ONE system that works" which is what most Parties and idealogies are argueing about.

its should be more

"which system will unleash mans god like potential"

That is the American System

[Salvysahagun]

Example

Adjusted to inflation the interstate Highway System cost a little over half of what the Stimulus of 2008 did.

Now ask your self which did more for America?

Fair enough, perhaps 'rabid' is too strong a word, but I still find his brand of American expansionism rather distasteful.

[Amiduffer]

I would be wary of using a misleading term like rabid, which is a better description of Teddy and his slavish Anglophilia.
