From: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Time to shed the right -vs- left, socialism -vs- capitalism hyperbole and purchase Thomas Piketty's new book " Capital in the Twenty-First Century. " PARIS — Thomas Piketty turned 18 in 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, so he was spared the tortured, decades-long French intellectual debate about the virtues and vices of communism. Even more telling, he remembers, was a trip he took with a close friend to Romania in early 1990, after the collapse of the Soviet empire. “This sort of vaccinated me for life against lazy, anticapitalist rhetoric, because when you see these empty shops, you see these people queuing for nothing in the street,” he said, “it became clear to me that we need private property and market institutions, not just for economic efficiency but for personal freedom.” (emphasis mine) But his disenchantment with communism doesn’t mean that Mr. Piketty has turned his back on the intellectual ...

It is important for the rational individual that ACTUALLY has a mind of THEIR own.
DeleteNow, Ema dear, please by all means go smoke some more of the obviously addicting Obama Hopium. It is clear you are having withdrawal symptoms.
You are among the distractions Ema...
I liked this part of the article...
ReplyDelete"Reporters in the room seem to have missed or ignored his most controversial statements."
Hmmm... I wonder how that happened...
Yeah, the mayor of that city must have really hated black people...
Wait a minute, Ray Nagin is black...
That mean GOP governor.. oops, wait, the governor was a democrat...
That is what liberalism does. It so benumbs people with federal coddling that they become too helpless to get out of the way of a hurricane. That is a shining example of what nanny state liberalism does.
And to top it off in the stupidity and irrationality department, Ray Nagin is, I kid you not, and disaster consultant.
When I firs saw that I thought maybe he was telling people how to create them, but no, he consults on how to handle disasters. I wonder if his consulting includes holing yourself up while your citizens are drowning.
You can't make this stuff up folks. Like Michael Savage says, "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Right, Mr. Neutral bringing up this garbage again. Thanks for showing us your religious intolerance, as if your Jew hate statements didn't already let us know you are a bigot.
ReplyDeleteOkay dickhead, you wanted your sorry ass Anon comment printed? Consider it done.
DeleteOf course the real people, you know the ones that are not morons like yourself, that have followed this blog and actually read what I have written and put it in the proper and correct context realize what an idiot and hateful person you are. An it without a life. Wish I could feel sorry for you but I don't because you love being the lying ass that you are.
Now, go crawl back into the sewer pit from whence you came...
The Anonymouse just outed herself as Stevie Girl:
ReplyDelete"as if your Jew hate statements..."
Anon. or Stevie, or whoever it is is one very sorry it with no life of his own...
DeleteWhen BHO said "my pastor" in this clip, I first thought that he had said "my pappy." Frankly, I wouldn't have been surprised if he HAD said "my pappy."
ReplyDeleteThe American electorate already decided this issue in 2008. Hannity and the weenie, can't remember his name, are pathetic and hilarious at the same time.
ReplyDeleteNo one cares.
The only thing that you really need to know about this Wright fellow is that, in spite of everything that he's ever spewed in that church, he still moved into a rich gated-community that tallies out 93% white, 2% black, and 5% other....He's full of garbage, in other words.
