WHEN WILL OBAMA STOP CRYING THE WOLF IS AT THE DOOR?

about Keynes

Great blog, but Keynes had a dark side that is often glossed over in the fawning idol worship academics often engage in when they write about him. Obama and his people love him.

Keynes was an intellectual elitist, and like many "progressives", suffered self aggrandizing delusions of imagined power within his own idealistic theories and all knowing intellect. The power to use ones intellect to imagine a theory does not make the theory true. Truth is born of trial. Wisdom is born of history. Ronald Reagan put it best; "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." It's knowledge of their own creation, not proven wisdom.

more about Obama

Progressives reject the lessons of history, seeking all powerful control to implement their new "hope and change". They always believe no one has yet to get it right, if only they get the chance, they will fix everything.

Keynes was a big government statist with a sick blind faith in an all powerful government and a negativist’s distain for humanity and ordinary people. He was anti-individual, believing all individuals greedy and evil, incapable of doing good. He was a closet anti-capitalist Fascist.

Read this quote:

“The best way to destroy the capitalist system is 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.” John Maynard Keynes

He said this because he knew that was how he was going to pay for his profligate spending.

And this is just exactly what Obama is doing!

He is destroying capitalism and the US economy, clandestinely confiscating the wealth of achievers to pay off his sycophant supporters, the non-producing economic parasites of the large and growing political class. He is very busy creating his Chicago style official governmental organized crime syndicate, complete with protection rackets and fascistic control over private businesses.

Americans are doomed

The free market is doomed unless people wake the hell up!

And yet, I fear, as a people, we have become too soft and all too willing to surrender our individual liberty to the great and wonderful Oz. Many seem to believe in a "benevolent" dictator, either lining up to join the syndicate or seek its protection.

The truth will finally be obvious when we all experience the reality that big government "benevolence", "dreams", "hope" and "change" can not produce wealth or improve the collective’s lot in life, only personal responsibility and individual hard work towards productive profit can build wealth for all. Government can not produce wealth, only encourage (or discourage) entrepreneurs and risk takers (capitalists) to pursue free markets and produce what is truly valuable to other individuals in the marketplace. To be successful, we all must participate and "pull the cart", no able bodied person may ride. And big government now appears to be on quite a ride! via email to jaxconservative
