Flunking Econ 101, Name Callers and BHO’s Service to America

By Allan Erickson / 18 February 2013 / 19 comments

MH900422581 The keys to economic recovery are as they have always been: extract things out of the ground or out of the creative minds of free people, make quality things people want, and sell them at a fair price with decent margin to fuel growth and reinvestment. Encourage all this by keeping government limited, low taxation, reasonable regulation, solid currency, low, if any, debt, intelligent trade policy, management/employee cooperation, sane and self-sufficient energy policy.

Obama’s solution: government spending on useless jobs, wasteful “investments” in enterprises that fail, high taxes, exploding debt, destructive regulation, printing funny money, self-defeating energy and trade policies, energy policy devised by hippies, antagonism between labor and management, government takeovers, socialized medicine that bankrupts the country, crony capitalism, fraudulent stimulus, bailouts, quantitative easing, waste resources on the phony climate change crisis, devising other ways to spread the wealth globally, and the latest genius move, raising the minimum wage.

One works. The other doesn’t. It’s not rocket surgery.

Paul Krugman calling Rubio a “Zombie” is yet another example of the bankruptcy of the Left. Paul is pleased to present himself as nothing more than a propagandist for the regime. Bereft of a cogent argument, Krugman relies on demonization, the last resort of ideologues who’ve run out their story line to its tragic end.

Here is a man who has spent his entire professional life preaching a lie. When his economic theories are shown miserable failures, his only recourse is to lower himself to mere name calling, like a grade school child.

Never forget this is the genius who continues to believe massive deficit spending is the economic cure-all, a man who actually denies the contributions of Fannie and Freddie to the collapse of the housing market and subsequent financial chaos. Scoundrels, when found out, look to distract attention. It is clearly laughable watching Krugman call Rubio a “Zombie”, when in truth, Krugman’s glaring deficiencies make Rubio look all the more brilliant.

Take Obama, Holder, Sharpton, J. Jackson, Farrakhan, Shabazz, J. Wright, Jamie Foxx, Harry Belafonte, and Danny Glover, multiply by 1000, and they still couldn’t approach the intelligence and integrity of Dr. Benjamin Carson. With God it’s usually one against a thousand, David versus Goliath, 300 against 10,000, impossible odds, all to glorify His name when the miracle is accomplished.

If Obama’s violations of the Constitution and our God-given rights provokes renewed awareness of the principles that made ours a great nation, then Obama will have provided at least one service.

BHO:

On Benghazi, AWOL
On Syria, AWOL
North Korea, AWOL
Islamization of the 10-40 Window, AWOL
Russian militarism, AWOL
Chinese imperialism, AWOL
Venezuelan subversion, AWOL
Supporting Israel and other Allies, AWOL
The Debt, AWOL
Deficits, AWOL
Working with Congress, AWOL
Economic development and jobs, AWOL
Improving the lives of Americans, AWOL
National Security, AWOL
Inspiring the world about the benefits of liberty, AWOL

Such a hardworking man must be due for another expensive, extended vacation paid for by the taxpayers.

There is only one reason a government seeks disarming its citizens, and it isn’t to protect them.

WHY DN’T YOU CALL THIS SITE WEHATELIBERALS.COM BIGOTS?
- http://www.facebook.com/doug.hutter Doug Hutter
  
  Because the top level domain “.combigots” has already been claimed by Obama’s followers.

  that’s the first reasonable thing you’ve probably ever thought or written. very proud of ya.

  Go away Troll. The HuffPo is missing their idiot…

  Why do you care and why are you bothering to read this?
- reggiec
  
  Maybe Todd is one of the 3,500 bloggers hired by Obama to be trolls on the net. If this is so just remember it is costing Obama big bucks to have these people sit around in their underware making comments that are ignored.

    It doesn’t cost Obama a thing – it’s OUR money he’s spending at a rapid rate!

  How is being against a socialist agenda being bigoted? I didn’t realize being a liberal was a race – I thought it was a political ideology. It’s like being racist against Mexicans – Mexican isn’t a race, but a nationality. (Be like being racist against a Scotsman or Frenchman or a South African..)
  
  We hate liberals because:
  
  • their economic policies are ruining the nation
  
  • their environmental policies are ruining the Marion’s economy
  
  • their overall policies are unconstitutional and illegal
  
  • their gun control policies are unconstitutional and illegal (what part of “shall not be infringed” do you NOT understand ??)
  
  • their policies are designed along the lines of Cloward and Piven, and Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”; policies solely designed to crash a country’s economic system
  
  • when a conservative doesn’t want to hear something, or doesn’t want to buy something, we turn the channel or station, or walk out of the store – when a liberal doesn’t want to hear something, they try to shut down the station; if they don’t want to buy something, they try to shut the store down, so NO ONE can listen or buy.
  
  Name-calling is just another way of trying to shut down ANY arguments against the socialist democrat policies. Unfortunately, there are those of us who aren’t intimidated when called “bigot”, “racist”, “teabagger”, etc. we know that you don’t have any facts to argue with, and are just trying to shut us up.

I totally agree with all replies to your stupid remarks, Todd. You need to get that chip off your shoulder and open you mind to other thoughts and quit the name calling. Name calling doesn’t do any good and isn’t conducive to grown up exchange of ideas. I have seen 2 replies of yours and you seem to be saying the same thing. You don’t have any reply except to name calling. I will go one step further and tell you to “get your head out and let your brain(?) cells get some air.”

  Name calling is easier and reguires no brain cells!
  That’s why it is so important to and frequently used by liberal/progressive/Marxists.
  (See how easy it is? However, I DID have to think about what he represented!)

    Name calling seems to instill outrage, convey clear ideas & often serves as a vent of frustrations & enables authors to remain effective. It’s therapeutic to boldly express unpopular views! It intentionally defies political correctness & demonstrates actual freedom of speech & sharing of opinions. Calling a spade a spade is still refraining from use of the n word & admired by like minded readers. Chuck Yew Farleys too thin skinned to accept any ideas other than yer own! [phuquewitz]
    - Saltporkdoc
      
      You are right in that name calling tends to instill outrage, which makes it easier for the less intelligent to remain a part of the conversation because it obfuscates the real issue/s which required thought. It makes the rational, emotional. It does NOT, by definition, “convey clear ideas” as it turns the parties involved away from the main and important issues! As a former chemical dependency counselor and Domestic Violence OFENDERS’ counselor, I will catagorically state there are much more effective and beneficial ways to “vent” one’s frustrations (It takes a much more evolved and mature individual to stte “I’m frustrated because…” than to call someone a name!) As to authors remaining effective, not with me because as soon as the name calling begins, I question the intelligence as well as the capability of the author to research their subject and give fact and data rather than vituperation!
      It would seem all you and I agree upon is that name calling demonstrates freedom of speech (what a waste of such an important right) and the defiance of political correctness.
      If the above amplification is not sufficient for you to now fully understand my original statement, congratulations, you just proved my point regards the intelligence of name callers!

        Hey! Just cause we call someone a phuquewit doesn’t mean we ain’t phuquewitz too! The length expended in validating credentials allows concessions of our phuquewittedness out shining others but efforts to cease & desist in name calling must certainly continue with others while we maintain our sacred level of phuqwittedness! “Sticks n stones may break our bones but NAMES will NEVER hurt us!” We managed to excel at Econ 101 & are in an excellent position to realize the larger number of idiots were bamboozled into the current madness of Bare-ax Whos-sain Obumma Bin Ladin & the very sad state of affairs in the good ole USA!
        It’s gonna git a lot worse very soon! Hopefully the skills in counseling will help those incorporating sticks n stones but will barely impact the time honored tradition of endurance of a few choice woidz! Anyone with a middle name pork deserves the middle finger anyway!

  Todd is just here to instagate because he has nothing better to do while he waits for his mental disability check from SSD.

Paul Krugman and the other economists that subscribe to the economic ideology of John Maynard Keynes must continue to tout his theories. They are just like any othe government supported group. They depend on government largess to pay their way in the world. The same applies to the global warming bunch, teachers unions and other obtrusive government agencies. They all fail in private industry because their ideology is a failure and can only be advanced through forced government compliance.

We book-marked this page as a succinct argument which, if widely suspected before BHO was catapulted into office by the likes of Orca Whimpys, would have prevented such devastation of the USA!
page 236

Read the consequences of the peace by john maynard Keynes on page 236 talks about how to destroy the economy without the people fully knowing who is trully at fault those in the central bank while you destroy the economy you force the idea that the capitalists are to blame not your communist ideas. All this from john maynard Keynes a man that is from nazi Germany in the 1930s he had a chip on his shoulder against france and Britain who won ww1 over reparations for the war the blame can be placed squarely on Woodrow Wilson for the stage for ww2 his ideas screwed up the world for the next 100 years.

Regarding Mr. Erickson’s last sentence: “There is only one reason a government seeks disarming its citizens, and it isn’t to protect them” – Hitler would be very proud that Obama is following his lead…

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police.” – Adolf Hitler 1933

“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future” – Adolf Hitler 1935

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
