Loved it OP, thanks for sharing.

I'll tell you what your rights are! You have a right to live free, and to the results of your labor. I'll also tell you have no right to any portion of the life or labor of another.

Pretty much sums up my view of life right there.

Take out the trash talk about libs, and it's a pretty good read. I don't care at all for the denigration though. Eventually, it becomes hate, and any possibility of rational thought goes out the window. Libtards, repugs, teabaggers, those names are no different than ******, beloved patriot, or beloved patriot. They're all used to invoke anger and hate, to make whoever uses them feel superior to another group. It's the battle cry of the truly stupid.

Edit: Apparently, the derogatory term for blacks can't be seen here. I have to assume it's because of the large number of children that read this forum.

That way, all the wealth that goes to the top will just stay there, right?

Hey, at least you agreed that the redistribution mechanism needs to go.

I'm not so sure how to get from where we are today to an honest monetary policy that doesn't reward trade deficits with money printing and debt but with deflation and equilibrium, the debt just makes it sustainable to keep exporting jobs because you are not allowing domestic labor to deflate and foreign labor to inflate.

I wonder what would happen to the wealthy if a return to honest money was allowed, I'll have to ponder this.

He never gave the commencement speech at a college, it's just titled that because he felt as though he should have at least been invited for a commencement speech somewhere over Kermit the Frog.

This little nugget should really be in the OP. This "speech" is just more talk radio yammering.

So CEO's have no right to make money off their employees? Communist!

From the Left you will hear "I feel." From the Right you will hear "I think."

That about sums it up, really: Liberals feel. Liberals care. They are pack animals whose identity is tied up in group dynamics. Conservatives and Libertarians think

This is pretty much the point where I realized that Neal Boortz is an idiot. The right says "I think?!" Yeah, right.

The left points to the consensus of economists and scientists and advocates policies consistent with those expert views. The right rejects expert analysis and says "I believe" and "I have faith," and then advocates policies based on nothing more than the echoes they hear in the vacuum chambers between their ears.

Yes, whenever i look to thinkers, i look to climate science/evolution deniers and people who think the laffer curve makes sense and cutting taxes for the rich will bring back wealth and prosperity in America.
