Of Early 20th Century American Progressives, Eugenics and Bassackward Economics

One of the things that has gotten my interest of late has been this Progressivism that is being fed to the lumbering masses who crave "gifts" from the all knowing, all-seeing Mr. Spock like President and his minions.

I must admit that the latest creation of the MSM comparing our President to the genius of Mr. Spock is great, but for those of us who are real Trekkies, we should take note. Mr. Spock is also cold, callous and totally "end justifies the means" much like the "Progressive" Movement that the President and his minions claim to be. If sacrificing 100 theoretically will save 1,000 then 100 will go.

This is seen in the Economic Models pushed by Cnn and Keith Olbermann and the MSNBC crew on the Lemmings who eat it up. The sad thing is that these followers do not do their homework, and those dishing it out conveniently forget a lot of the facts and information that their models do not contain.

Milton Friedman before his passing in 2006 wrote an excellent book called "Money Mischief, Episodes In Monetary History". For those who have never taken an Economics Course this material would be boring, but I found it fascinating. Mr. Friedman was unknowingly a prophet by writing this book.

Uncontrolled money growth is the cause of inflation, Friedman stresses, and only monetary reform, despite undesirable side effects like unemployment, can cure it. Spending and debasing the currency will lead to a Weimar Republic such as Germany had before Hitler came to power (by promising to restore the Currency to its former state and returning Germany back to how it was before the first World War) and as a modern day Zimbabwe is now with the price of a loaf of bread being $10 million, IF you can find a loaf of bread to be bought. Now think this, 20 years ago Zimbabwe was the a large part of the "bread basket" of Africa. Food exports had the country doing quite well, no inflation, no starvation. For those willing to learn, search and find out what happened in the past 20 years in Zimbabwe. Tell me if the term Deja-Vu does not apply.

Basically it comes down to the fact that those who can, do. Those who can not will try, those who will not will cry, bitch and moan that life is unfair. I sat on disability and observed those who will not up close and personal. They got all the handouts and freebies because the one thing that they could do was be first in line for the handouts and bitch loudest to the local TV cameras. The sad thing is that the TV crews ate their shit up like it was a 7-course meal. The guy who was trying to work and get ahead by doing something was cast aside for the one who gave only minimal effort, failed as well as he should, then sat on his ass and bitched that it was all because he was ___fill in the blank____ .

Now, we have reaped the wind. Here comes the whirlwind. The tornado. All the Economists that were called "idiots, dinosaurs" and some called racists because they said that the policies espoused by our President were not right, but backwards say the same thing. Within two years it won't matter how much money you make, if you even have a job. Hyper inflation will have set in, your money will be worthless. Add to that the up to 100 new taxes that are to be levied (your $10 a payday tax break, by the way, will all have to be paid back this next April - Happy Tax Day everyone - a gift from the IRS), along with the Cap and Trade for the myth called "Global Warming/Climate Change/Global Cooling" or whatever the name is this month will break us.

I wish I was smart enough to put into words all the things I know about this, but my mind races off in so many directions. Ludwig von Mises, Frederich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Henry Hazlitt are all excellent reads.

Just know that Progressivism, especially the early 20th Century style espoused by our President, Hillary Clinton, Pelosi and their ilk is bad. Real bad. It's bad. Eugenics, Economic catastrophe, using European Laws to circumvent U.S. Laws. Nope, it just isn't right.

Another good read is:
"Woodrowe Wilson and the roots of modern Liberalism" by Ronald J. Pestritto
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg
American Progressivism: A Reader by Ronald J. Pestritto (This one will scare you some, WOW!)

Oh Me Oh My Oh Goodness Me

I have been so busy lately with work, home stuff and social BS that I have found myself negligent on this, my creation.

Sorry to my few fans (Ah ha ha ha) and fifty lashes with a Catelpa Bean for me.
