And Now This Word From Outer Space

Liberal God Complex edition:

Here’s the part you are missing. (deep breath)

Like most normal people, you look at leftists and wonder how they can side with people that want them destroyed. that ultimately the alligator eats them too. that is a sane way to look at it.

It is also a case of category error. The issue is being so poorly defined that there is no way to solve it.

Hill and other leftists believe in superiority. They believe they are smarter, wiser, ect. than everyone. They believe they are better than everyone and they believe that only they PERSONALLY matter. Such is life as a godless leftist.

Not to go down that rabbit hole, but the whole God thing is the core of the issue in several ways. For muslims, Allah is the core of their whole deal. For leftists, ‘God’ is a lever to pry stupid believers with. Because they are above all that ‘God nonsense’. They are personally supreme and gods of themselves.

Now to the issue: Libs are racists. Real legit ones. They believe in the whole master race thing with them at the top. This is why you see them U S E minorities to achieve their power goals while never benefiting the minorities themselves. Minorities are pitted against each other, each begging for scraps from the table of the liberal power structure.

In Barry, you get a complete package. A mixed race, mixed faith blank slate that has worked hard to hid what he is so that he can be whatever the situation dictates. One day a christian telling the faithful that God believes in gay marriage, the next a muslim friend of the Jews who would reach across the aisle if only the Jews would accept his kindness.

Throughout this fecal storm of category 5 proportions, he manipulates people who he sees as stupid inferior bitter clingers. And those that don’t get on board are carefully Alynskied by the media and his legion of nameless/faceless “White House Aides” who are quoted in said media but who never seem to have corporeal form.

Hillary is exactly the same. She and Bill used the same routine in the 90s and she used it as senator and SOS.

Before her, Carter used it. Before him LBJ. Before him leftists throughout history. Because it is who they are. Gods unto themselves and the lives of the unliberal are pawns on a board to be played and manipulated.

It is hard for people to really grasp the mindset of megalomania. It seems like a funny word. It is hard for people to understand true evil because they can’t relate to it. There is no point of reference in the life of the average human that lets them crawl inside the mindset of commanding as a God. How could there be? And in earlier eras, people that thought as the modern Liberal were placed in padded rooms for their own protection and allowed to self identify as Jesus or Napoleon, lest they throw themselves into walls and bang their heads on hard objects.

And it is that mindset of Godhood, of racial superiority that leads liberals to believe that they personally and ALONE can control the muslim hordes. They are better, smarter and gosh darn it! Muslims like them! They believe to their core that they will be feted as the great one who helped Allah rout the infidel hordes and sit in a position with Mohamhead.

And they arent concerned about the fellow liberals who will die. Because they do not matter to a God.

If you think the above sounds too insane to be possible, I invite you to carefully go through it and compare the statements to examples, many examples of the actions and behaviors you have seen leftists exhibit toward us, toward their fellow Libs, toward minorities and toward Muslims. I think you will find there is a credible case to be made.

NEW VIDEO FEATURES AL FRANKEN PLAYING WITH HIS TRAFFIC CONE BOOBS

The horror!

In the mountain out of a molehill department, here we have Freepers trying to pretend they find the above antics super offensive. I don't know who they're trying to convince, but it's hilariously pathetic.

Proud2BeRight demands more professionalism!

Democrats are always so classy and professional.

Steve_Seattle is sure there's a double standard out there.

I can imagine doing something similar myself, especially under the influence of alcohol. It is just male goofiness. But, to me, the point is that this will not break into the national news, whereas if Boehner or some other Republican did it, it would be a hot national story, dragged into the "war on women" theme, etc.

bkopto has decided this is sexist?

He’s allowed to wage war on women because he’s a D.

Any conservative doing that would be hounded out of office.

Aevery_Freeman is sure there is voter fraud in Minnesota:

The morons who voted for him won’t be bothered by this at all.

Excuse me! They will be rolling over in their graves.

I thinkg Cletus.D.Yokel is saying liberal women don't have boobs?

Insult to conservative women but compliment to entertainment wymyn.

Dr. Bogus Pachysandra just hates.

He’s another infected, suppurating pustule,, like harry Screed!

Iron Munro goes the full melodrama.

How far we have fallen.

Monday Potpourri

stevie_d_64 is gonna make sure there's an ID law, if he has to make it up himself!

as a Presiding Election Judge in my Precinct, I will continue to require photo ID as a definitive ID to establish that voter’s ability to vote in this precinct...

If anyone protests that question by my clerks and myself, well, I will still let them vote...

Provisionally of course, which means if the paperwork on the outside of that envelope says the voter failed to Id themselves, the review board will toss that vote in the trash...

They (voters) did that to themselves...And if my democrat counterpart has a problem with it, well, he can go pound sand, the law is the law, not an interpretation by a political ideology like Judge Ramos, the timing is obviously suspect...

The question is, “What the hell do they believe they can do about it on election day???”

And the only way the opposition to the purity of our elections would find out is if they plant a few weasels into our lines to come in to vote...Who are obviously here to wreak the process...

If the 5th circuit hadn't stayed the injunction, this guy's disenfranchisement antics could have created quite a stir...

unixfox does the angrygloat at the 5th Circuit's stay.

Take that! You slimy, scumbag, liberal, Marxist piece of sh!t federal judge!

F U B O! and all of your minions!

BCW explains how Obama's real and imagined policies are calculated to destroy America.

Social Unrest Plan

#1: Allow Illegal immigration ....include foreign youths tied to gangs

#2: Implement relocation for Moslem Arabs that use violence to take control of areas, instead of rule of law

#3: Ignore growing signs that a major virus is growing in another part of the world while allowing unrestricted air travel to and from that exposed area

#4: Make sure host national inner culture background relations are kept separate and capitalize on minor events between crimes that are committed by the minority and blame the majority that responds to cause localized riots

#5: Ensure news coverage of scandals and non-traditional policies are ignored while the propaganda campaigns hides the true intention

#6: Attempt to size personal owned weapons in order to install fear into the majority of law abiding citizens to increase the body count once the social unrest begins by enacting laws that are doomed to fail

#7 Empty federal prisons to cause an increase in national crime

#8 Destroy the national economic platform through socialized healthcare and tax increases

#9 Arm violent gangs and terrorist organizations worldwide to divert attention away from above

#10: Sit back and watch as the nation tears itself apart!

Reeses realizes Ebola bad AND Terrorists bad.

Catching Ebola is completely terrifying therefore Islamic terrorists will get into it. They now have a new use for airliners besides blowing them up.

Speaking of terrorist Ebola attacks, sergeantdave wants some kinda Ebola attack on Obama.

Should Obama Go to Ebola Ground Zero?

No need to. Grind up ebola-carrying bats into aerosal, and spray the White House.

GrandJediMasterYoda's science proves Ebola is easier to contract than the flu.

If two nurses got it after wearing protective gear then I would say that bug is pretty damn contagious. A few years ago my girlfriend accidentally sneezed right in my face when she had the flu and I didn't get sick and I DID NOT get a flu shot beforehand. Yet these two nurses got Ebola dressed in protective gear. I would say Ebola is a lot more contagious than the flu, wouldn't you?

MaxMax wants Obama in jail to keep him from the martyrdom he's seeking:

Obama needs to be placed in protective custody, that last thing we need is some nut job making a Martyr out of this buffoon.
He's deliberately pissing people off, in a big way.

Joe Boucher is warming up the crazy Clinton scandals.

Remember,
Only a few short years ago Hillary and Bill were poor garbage from Arkansas.
Now they be RICH beyond belief.
And a very long list of dead in their wake.

Nita Nupress is also trying out some old, stale questions.

How much did Bill & Hill make when they sold our rocket technology to Loral?
Who killed Vince Foster? And all the Mena boys? And all those dozens of other mysterious deaths?
What was the conversation between Bill and the Chinese official when they got stuck in that Chinese elevator?

LucianOfSamasota thinks Al Franken is crazy, on accounta being liberal.

In a sane world Franken would be institutionalized.

I really don’t mind that the crazies are walking around loose...

I just wish they weren’t in charge!

E. Pluribus Unum has his prejudices supercharged to save time.

Commies and Musloids. The usual suspects.

Norm Lenhart is waxing purestrain crazy.

Agenda 21/ Wildlands Project/Turtle Island/Population.

It’s all there.

greene66 on how the Palin brawl is like 1950s fictional America awesome.

It reminds me again of why I appreciate Palin so much. Because she’s really not “of” this current, impotent, faggy American culture. She’s like a welcome throwback of what America used to be like, gritty, straight-talking, no-nonsense, and down-to-earth. Modern society has no vinegar to it anymore, no color, and is crippled by insane self-consciousness and fealty to PC mindthink. Palin is the opposite in so many ways. She’s like a 1950s episode of “Gunsmoke” come to life in a degenerate world of Miley Cyrus and her foam-finger.

My 91-year-old uncle died a few months ago. He’d been in the Navy between 1940 and 1946. Toughest, slyest bird you’d ever encounter. He would have smiled, winked, and nodded at this Palin dust-up. It would have affirmed something ‘positive’ to him about the Palin family. Ditto everyone I else I knew from his peer group, both male and female. Modern America wouldn’t even remotely get any of this. Its worldview has been totally flipped and nuetered in favor of weakness and metrosexuality.

greene66 has been on a tear lately.

The Kennedy’s are scum of the earth. It’s a shame the doctor didn’t pinch each one of their heads off the day they were born.

And of course lots of his super-dramatic "now I hate America, everyone! Look at me I hate America!!!!! LOOK AT ME!!" which you an easily find scads of if you look.

Monkey Face approves of judge-lynching.

Time to hang the judges. Past time, actually. Build a scaffold and get some rope.

*Like*

You know, most murder threats on Free Republic have to be a little subtle or they get pulled. Not so judges. For a long time too.

Oh, wait, bert.

The time for the Coup D’etat is drawing near

Never mind.

El Zoro wants some political killings already.

We should have had 2 million armed patriots in the Mall years ago. A show of force, that’s all it will take. These people would wet their pants.

These folks do not understand but one thing,brute force. They know the President and Justice Department are as arrogant as China,Russia and Kim Jung Uh. It will really take someone getting killed to get their attention I am afraid. They let these Socialist idiots in St. Louis and throughout America run while and America is to afraid to take a stand. Blacks are mauling and murdering folks all over America and the White Man is a target and I believe that with all my heart.I do not have much time left anyway and I would rather die than to go down as a coward. Enough is really enough.

Don't miss "the White Man is a target and I believe that with all my heart"

PROCON knows the end is near.

I feel the social fabric is about a month from unwinding.

I feel you’re right FRiend, stay well armed.

Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America is sure all the recent black protests are Obama's New World Order:

These protests are NOT home grown. NWO, team Eboma and DOJ is heavily involved behind the scenes. Very reminiscent of 'Arab Spring' in Egypt.

clearcarbon wants to blame Obama for diseases now.

During the 2003 Iraq war, CBS kept a running tally of American military casualties to discredit GWB.

Have they started a casualty list yet for for the costs of doing the war over again or a D68 kill-a-kid tally related to obama immigration executive orders?

relictele does not know what Catch-22 means.

The race hustlers have a Catch 22 they hope nobody will notice:

Their audience hotly resents any suggestion they may be intellectually challenged due to genetics or environment. Yet every time the audience accepts and amplifies the race hustlers’ silly claims that same audience demonstrates it is incapable of (or at least unwilling to) rationally processing such everlasting rubbish.

"On the one hand blacks say they're not dumb. On the other, I think they're dumb. Catch-22!"

ExSoldier is defending slavery:

Why is slavery the big deal it's made out to be here? Does the writer think that there was no slavery in the time of Christ? It was more prolific where Jesus was than in the colonies at the founding of the nation. That is one reason that Christ was so in favor of spiritual salvation over the physical and that he did not to my knowledge ever condemn the institution of slavery. In fact I believe he once (at least) exhorted all slaves to be the very best slaves they could be and he also did the same for Roman centurions to be good soldiers and not bullies taking advantage of their power. Better to save the soul for the soul is eternal whereas the physical hardships will eventually have an end....

Yeah, American chatel slavery was much, much, worse than what he's talking about.

TexasFreeper2009 is also white-knighting slavery.

Most slaves were treated well and as part of the family in many ways.

Basically the modern equivalent would be today’s household pets, many of which are treated like family, but some of which are horribly abused.

Imagine a future in which having pets is thought of as horrible, and all references to pets being treated nicely were wiped from the history books and only stories about dog fights and puppy mills and owners who chain and beat their dogs remained. That’s basically what has happened.

pfflier is amusingly confused about what casual contact is:

This is following the same denial pattern of AIDS in the 1980’s. We were told at the time that AIDS was hard to get and it couldn’t be transmitted by casual contact. If we disagreed with that we were branded irrational homophobes.

CorporateStepsister has begun to hate her fellow women.

What is wrong with Western women? I’m an American myself, but lately they’ve been coming across as constantly emotionally immature and literally walking around messing up on their jobs and everything else, messing up everyone else’s lives.

When the Hillary misogyny machine starts working, the "I'm a woman and I hate women and don't think they should vote" is gonna be great.

southernindymom knows Obama is in the final stage of destroying America.

I think he has reached the point in his office that now is when he starts the final stage of his destruction plan and is going full steam. The only hope is the election and the Dem’s losing control of both houses to override any VETO’s and then grow a pair and a spine and take him and the MSM on.

maine-iac7 is super-duper sure Jesus was white.

HISTORY is HISTORY - no matter how much you want to twist it for your own reasons.

Jesus AND Mary were of the line of David - Not only white - but likely 'whiter' than many Jewish people.

There are many historical references to this - some making the remark that, due to 'exposure' He appeared darker (i.e. tan)

Terry L Smith wants a conspiracy to assassinate former POW Bergdahl

IF Bergdahl is ever released onto Main Street America, I propose that an unspoken ‘open season’ notice be put out about him, ears for wampum, and EVERYBODY gets the NYC apartment hearing loss and blindness.

ears for wampum...EARS FOR WAMPUM?! Uhh...darkangel82, I hate to break it to you...

True Believers for any cause are scary.

Saturday Pix

Bad. Ass.

Haw haw backward Africans. Now, can I interest you in some colloidal silver?

...yeah...

Chicago Titanic is cute, but alas, this still implies Obama and Michelle love each other.

Fear. Fear is the election winner.

See, I prefer this crap to the irresponsible fearmongering I'm hearing from Rush et. al.

Glad we got a family pic in there, at least.

Wow. I think the irony policy just surrendered.

Spotlight Friday: Le Chien Rouge

Le Chien Rouge

A resident of Austin, TX, this Freeper has quite a life story, if he's to be believed. He wanted to be a historian for the Smithsonian, but was denied because of his whiteness. Since then, he's the best trucker ever and also owns a restaurant....

His politics tend towards class and race. He's a big fan of inherent merit, whether that's rich people being better, or black people being worse. Add in a shocking lack of compassion, and he's really pretty awful.

Add in his fondness for lists, Random Capitalization and then CAPS LOCK for EMPHASIS and you have quote a character.

Fighting the good fight in Austin:

I live in one of the most LEFTY Neighborhoods in one of the MOST lefty City’s -Austin- in this Nation.

NOT ONE LEFTY has buyers remorse.

These folks bow to the alter of Collectivism, Barrack Obama is their latest high priest of statism and they are NOW eagerly awaiting their Messiah in Hillary Clinton while heavily promoting their “John the Baptist’ in Wendy Davis.

To their dying breathe, they will praise, excuse, and ignore the massive failing of the progressive agenda.

....and to those saying that maybe I should move—hell NO-—I am ON THE FRONT LINE OF THE BATTLE with the left and I do not run from a fight.

I actually hear this is quite true.

I own a restaurant.

If we produce/cook too much food we cannot give it away because IF the recipient becomes ill.....enter the sue happy lawyers with extreme prejudiced.

Damned if you do-—damned if you don’t

A Freeper is born:

Graduated with a Degree inn History in 1991 and moved to DC with a dream to work in the Smithsonian.

After 4 years of trying to gain a position at one of the museums of DC, denied due to ‘quota preferences’, I faced reality and obtained my Commercial Driving License .

I’ve never looked back.

The BEST trucker EVER!

It’s not very difficult to be one of the BEST in your industry.

I am the absolute BEST in the trucking field. ALWAYS on time, NEVER had an accident, impeccable customer service skills, etc and my company has acknowledge my brilliance with pay bonuses along with recognition.

However this industry is NOT going to make you rich and quite frankly, I’m rather bored with it as trucking is just a job.

I know my limitations but most people STILL do not.

Dreams are nice but in reality, 90% of us will work in jobs we don’t particular care for in order to pay for homes and feed our children.

It’s called LIFE and humans have been doing it for a couple thousand years.

Times are tough:

I am working LONGER hours with additional duties while my pay decreases.

Blame the Affordable Healthcare Act, a FED printing money like a drunken sailor and a Federal government that never met a regulation that it did not like.

All governments are basically mass murdering dictatorships.

The Government Does many things Well:

1) Create war on individual rights(Nazi Germany)
2) Create Economic chaos(Robert Mugumbe)
3) Create a culture of death(Khmer Rouge)
4) Create generational conflict (Mao’s cultural Revolution)
5) Create Mass emigration( Castro’s Cuba)
6) Create a police state( North Korea)
7) Create famine( Ukraine Famine)
8) Create environmental disaster(Soviet Union)
9) Create religious totalitarianism ( Saudi Arabia)
10) Create racial conflict ( Obama’s USA)

Another list, of pure BS:

Liberal wonk also wants folks to ignore:

1) Barrack Obama foreign policy is a disaster
2) Cuba’s universal healthcare for Cubans is a wreck
3) The world is NOT warming
4) The Affordable healthcare Act is a wealth transfer
5) Michael Brown was a thug
6) ‘Real World’ Black on white Crime rates are sky high
7) Illegal aliens are bringing toxic diseases at an alarming rate
8) The ‘real world’ ‘War on Women’ is led by Islam
9) Keynesian Economics has failed!! Miserably
10) So-called ‘Earnings Gap’ is very prevalent in Democrat voters

Like Obama before her, Hillary Clinton is very mentally fragile

If Warren runs for the nomination the Clinton’s will have a Chernobyl like meltdown.

I guess he doesn't really read the conspiracy posts on Free Republic.

Democrats NEVER lose an election:

1) It was stolen —2000 election Bush/Gore

2) Americans are voting against their economic interests—Bush 2004

3) FAUX News/ Extreme Right wing radio/ non-government, corporate controlled internet blogs fooled people —2010

All above are quotes from the lefties I know.

He knows some gays, and Do Not be fooled!

Homosexual marriage is NOTHING but a front for the legalization of pedophiles and their desire for sex with OUR children(they don’t have any).

NAMBLA is starting to gain traction and their will soon be a push for lowering the age of consent.

Are all Homosexuals pedophiles?? No

As someone who has spent a lot of time among the homosexuals( I am in the restaurant business and the homosexuals make up well over 50% of many staffs) I have heard the stories FROM MANY who were raped /taken advantage of by older homosexuals.

Do Not be fooled about the same-sex marriage nonsense.

Michelle Obama is the really racist one:

Obama Doesn’t See Race as a Factor in Criticism.

I agree however you can bet the present first lady Michelle sees nothing but white robes and burning crosses when pictures of tea parties are shown.

Obama is, of course, gay and on drugs.

If Hilary is an lesbian alcoholic, then she is even more electable according to the left.

We already have a coke head pole smoker in the white-house.

The left is so full of warmongers:

Never forget, the left LOVES WAR. Anything for an excuse to increase government power whether from illegal border crossings or Islam.

Deep down the left are totalitarians who will sacrifice MILLIONS in order to usher in Collective utopia.

End welfare, so the poors can finally die out.

End welfare, let Churches initiate charity and let human nature take it’s course.

Money is just a way to show who is a better person:

If we woke up tomorrow morning, all wealth was wiped out, and EVERYONE started from zero, within a year NEARLY all(except for Paris Hilton and the Kennedy’s) the same rich folks would probably be wealthy again while the same people complaining about wealth fairness would be STILL complaining.

And blacks trying to better themselves? Don't be fooled!

Community Colleges are full of ‘Holder’s People’ like Michael Brown who ‘enroll’ in college with FREE government aid, immediately placed into remedial classes because they can’t read on a 3rd grade level( THANK YOU public schools), and NEVER attend a class.

After a couple of years, when the free money runs out,’Holders People’ apply for government jobs and a given worthless desk jobs based on affirmative actions quotas.

It’s a racket.

Also, the war on whites:

The Knock out game. polar bear hunting and the EXTREMELY high yet VERY under reported black on white crime stats.......

Maybe the question should be are whites purposely being targeted by blacks ,IS LEO perhaps aware of this and are they acting accordingly??

Blacks run America.

These feral blacks ARE NOT interested in living under Anglo Saxon laws and conservatism WILL NOT change their beliefs.

We have a black run America—seriously—where nearly every issue is to be modified to fit black ‘feelings’-—Freedom of association is the only right that matters: boiled down, it means you have the right to discriminate.

Anyone offended??? Tough...

is the GOP STILL stupid enough to try and reach voters who will NEVER vote for a party that will not kow-tow to the gibtz me dat crowd.

Let Ferguson burn...

For a history major, he sure seems not to know a damn thing about the legacy of Jim Crow.

Speaking of complete historical ignorance:

My Grandmother(17 at the time) was in the French Resistance during WW2. She was caught and spent two years in a NAZI work-camp in force-able labor and ate NOTHING but a potato a day.

She married my American grandfather,settled in the states. When notified by the post-war German Government that she would receive compensation(reparations)for her time spent in the work-camp she REFUSED THE MONEY.

As a former slave she had more dignity(and grit) than EVERY slave descendent alive in the nation.

Yeah, 2 years of slavery is basically like generations of slavery, followed by generations of discrimination.

Yet another group he wants to kill:

Islam is a rabid dog and it’s always best to but down that rabid dog before you are bit.

Be fearful:

Intelligent people are not in a bad mood.....they are cautiously prepping, mentally physically,and emotionally, for the coming economic turmoil that will make today’s so-called issues look like the good old days...

be fearful...

Is Keynes Misunderstood?

Freepers' Ebola freakout continues. As it ages, it's getting more and more conspiratorial, and thus less boring and more amusing.

But lets let that continue to cook over the weekend. For today, lets see Freepers take on Keynsian economics.

MrB loves economics by analogy:

Keynes only makes sense if you believe that you can take water out of the deep end of the pool and pour it into the shallow end to make the shallow end deeper.

However, Keynesian economics does fit hand in glove with leftist/humanist beliefs - that everything could be perfect if the right people were given enough power to make things perfect.

DUMBGRUNT thinks Keynes isn't so bad, but can't be bothered to look it up.

IIRC Keynes ‘stimulus’ was to use surplus funds for short term and quickly rebuild the surplus.

I would look it up and reread it; but it makes my brain hurt!

Pearls Before Swine knows the problem is in the interpretation, and the 1970s.

I have a BIL who is an economist. He says he had to read Keynes in grad school, and that it can be interpreted in many ways. What is called Keynesianism now is just the way it wound up be interpreted in the 70’s.

arthurus finds economics hard to understand, which means Keynes is a bad author.

Keynes cannot be anything but “misunderstood.” His writing is very poor. I have tried several times to read Theory of Money...etc and cannot make of sense out of it. Paragraphs do not hang together. His arguments do not fit his assertions. What people “understand” about Keynes is the official interpretation of his book and the things he later said he wrote. His writing simply does not make sense. Everyone should find a copy of the book and read it. Read it carefully. If you just skim the lead sentences in the paragraphs and go straight to the conclusions you may feel you know what it is all about. If you analyze it it becomes simply turgid and irrational ramblings

DaveyB is pretty sure Keyne's gayness meant he was a hedonistic nihilist.

Keynes was a homosexual with no vision for a sustainable future for his progeny. (Children are born and raised by hetero-sexual unions.) Keynes future outlook was summarized by himself, “...in the end we are all dead!” His real outlook eat, drink, sodomize and then die ...the end. In contrast Solomon wrote wisdom for the ages “ A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children...” Proverbs 13:22

muir_redwoods is as charitable as he is simplistic.

Keynes was simply wrong. However, i believe if he could somehow see what things have been done in his name today even he would understand his error.

Rockingham educates us on post-WW2 history.

Keynes was a socialist. Here's why.

As WW II ended, Britain elected a Labor government that promised socialism in full measure, with the nationalization of major industries, public health care, and intensive regulation for the common good.

Since Britain was exhausted by war, broke and without credit, the new socialist government looked to America and sent the much respected Keynes to negotiate a package of grants and loans. Fortunately, Keynes' arrogance killed any prospect of success.

Keynes opened the conference in Washington with a long statement to the effect that Britain had a strong claim on America because Britain had fought longer and sacrificed more in the war than America had. In other words, in Keynes' sales pitch, Britain's wartime sacrifices meant that she was entitled to call on America to finance her embrace of socialism.

As it was, Keynes got nothing. Britain had to pay for socialism by herself. The dismal consequences of socialism eventually led to the election of Margaret Thatcher and the unwinding of much of the socialist state that Keynes had supported.

Still not seeing the socialism bit...

arthurus is pretty sure it was all a hoax.

Keynes suggested before his death that the original was a parody. It was, in fact, written very like those theses that MIT students and others from time to time get accepted into the peer reviewed journals after which the writers announce that it was all a nonsense conglomeration of jargon and tautology. Keynes got accepted and promoted before he got to the point of announcing his Hoax and kept his mouth shut, maybe.

Terry L Smith calls Keynes a baboon, and then thinks Galbraith came before Keynes.

For all the years before this Keynes baboon was given credence, the nation had been operating under the foundational work of one John Kenneth Galbraith, whose teachings I learned, while in high school.

Terry L Smith later falls back on the old standard:

who was “the man with the plan”, in the time of The Founding Fathers?

Might we return to THAT person’s writings?

If it's not the late 1700s, it's crap!!

Symbolism

Freepers famously find all sorts of meaning in the eyes of politicians via photograph. There is an endlessly amusing segment of Free Republic that confirms their narratives with secret symbols everywhere. Sometimes these catch on, like the idea that Obama always has his middle finger out. But mostly, it's just highly musing paranoid crackpottery:

Thus, Freepers are inspired by a gossipy conspiracy blog post about Jay-Z to analyze the a dance move. On the way, they stop off at some rather kooky places where Freepers' ability to politicize everything comes up against the contentlessness of Hollywood gossip:

mgisthas noticed that some blacks like conspiracies. This means all blacks do.

What’s interesting is that black gossip forum’s think he is “illuminati”. The black community seems to realize these 2 are phonies. Pretty sure it’s the little white girls being those songs.

Jonty30 has his own conspiracy theory:

I can certainly believe much of it. Beyoncé was definitely not pregnant. She did an interview, where she was supposedly 6 months and her pregnant stomach completely collapsed when she sat down as if there was nothing there.

Of course, Freepers like RginTN are all about rumors of homosexuality.

I heard JAy Z was gay...this info about a female mistress is surprising...

/sometimes tabloid distraction from politics is necessary for good mental health

Sgt_Schultze sees a secret sign:

That's an anti-Semitic gesture known as quenelle

PhiloBedo also sees the significance of hands on the shoulder:

It is! It’s the “I hate Jews” salute.

mgist splits the difference.

Some of the female dancers in the video are brushing their shoulders off. Jay Z is definitly doing Quenelle gestures. He doesn’t even get close to the shoulder.

Talisker Found a very suspicious picture of Obama!

Wow.

That’s not over his heart.

What a smug POS.

liberalh8ter isn't a conspiracy guy, he just wants Obama to get off his lawn:

Whether or not Obama and the clown posse are depicting the Quenelle isn't really the issue as there are discernible differences in what they are doing versus the Quenelle. The issue here is that it is unbecoming of the leader of the free world to be associating with controversial figures. Jay Z is a murderer turned-rap star. His wife is the equivalent of a highly paid pole dancer. We should demand better from the Commander-in-Chief and he should know better. We have sunk to the level of my septic system when it comes to the expectations of decorum from our elected officials.
