Where the Bourgeois Virtues Are Found - It's not the halls of power.

Economic historian Deirdre McCloskey has just published the second volume of her multivolume look at the history of capitalism and its relationship to the “bourgeois virtues.” What she means by the latter are the basic virtues of the middle class, from prudence to love to justice. What makes this approach interesting is that critics of capitalism have long suggested that there were very few virtues associated with the bourgeoisie, mostly because capitalism itself requires and encourages what they saw as the unvirtuous behavior related to greed and self-interest. In the first volume McCloskey convincingly argues that market relationships civilize us and lead us to treat one ...

Zhou Xiaochuan is the Governor of the People's Bank of China. Imagine that the following phone call were to take place. Zhou: Hello. Dr. Bernanke? Bernanke: Yes. Zhou: I wanted to let you know about the decision that our board has taken, after consulting with the Premier and the Politburo's Standing Committee. We hope you are sitting down. Bernanke: I get it. A little Oriental humor. Zhou: You could say that. Bernakne: What can I do for you? Zhou: You can abandon your plan to purchase $600 billion of Treasury bonds. Bernanke: The Federal Open Market Committee voted ten to 1 for this policy. I cannot change it now. Zhou: We think it is an unwise policy. It will lower the ...

Why Do They (Terrorists) Hate Us? - Presentation Transcript 1. The Forbidden Answer 2. * “ They hate us, not because of anything bad we’ve done. This has nothing to do with any aggression on the part of the United States of America. It has nothing to do with anything America is taking from anyone. It has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. They hate us for the freedoms that we have and the freedoms that we want to share with the world because those freedoms are in conflict with their perverted interpretation of their religion.

Bill Moyers: "Welcome to the Plutocracy!" ShareNew 0 by HeartlandLiberal Mon Nov 08, 2010 at 03:48:41 AM PST This is a long and complex speech by Moyers. On the one hand, it is rewarding, in that it lays out the issues in such crystal clarity. On the other hand, it is pretty darned depressing, because it lays out the issues with such brutal clarity. Bill Moyers: "Welcome to the Plutocracy!" Excerpts below the fold. * HeartlandLiberal's diary :: :: * This is a long speech by Moyers, but I urge you to read it. It is depressing, but it puts so much into context about what has gone wrong in this nation in the past 30 years in the conduct of our economy, and its ...

Must Watch: David Stockman Says The Fed Is Injecting High Grade Monetary Heroin Into The Financial System Zero Hedge Today’s absolutely must watch clip comes from David Stockman, director of the OMB under Ronald Reagan. “An independent Fed is what we had when I was in the government. Volcker was the head of it…Today the Fed is scared to death that the boys and girls and robots on Wall Street are going to have a hissy fit. And therefore these programs, one after another, are simply designed to somehow pacify the stock market, and hoping to keep the stock indexes going up, and that somehow that will fool the people into thinking they are wealthier and they will spend money. ...

The moral illegitimacy of governments Posted: November 7, 2010 by crescentandcross in Uncategorized 6 i 1 Vote By John Kaminski pseudoskylax@gmail.com johnkaminski.info/ We don’t have leaders, statesmen, or philosopher kings anymore. We have bagmen for the Jewish financial mob that rules the known world with its money tricks, with not a patriot in sight when the orders come down from the big boys, the top Rockefellers, Rothschilds and Schiffs. I’d been wondering why the Jewish media have given patriotism such a bad name — inferring it is kind of a retrograde emotion that has no place in the One World government they are implementing, and hence, has gone out of fashion. ...

Will Fox News hold Beck, Hannity responsible for spreading “wildly exaggerated” Obama trip cost claim? November 05, 2010 11:03 pm ET by Terry Krepel Tonight, Fox News Special Report reported what most of us already knew: that the purported $200 million per day cost of President Obama’s trip to India and Asia is, as Wendell Goler quoted the White House, “wildly exaggerated.” What Special Report didn’t report: Fox News’ own hosts have been peddling that bogus claim. As we’ve documented, both Hannity and Beck have bandied about the $200 million figure – plucked from an Indian newspaper and allegedly made by an anonymous source – to attack ...
Ron Paul on Earmarks

On Tuesday, Ron Paul spoke on the House floor about the true nature of earmarks and how all spending should be “earmarked”, i.e. we should know how our money is being spent. He also promoted his bill H.R. 1207 which calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve. Channel: C-SPAN Date: 3/10/2009 Transcript: Ron Paul: Thank you, Madame Speaker. I would like to address the subject of earmarks today. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here among the members about exactly what it means to vote against an earmark. It’s very popular today to condemn earmarks and even hold up legislation because of this. The truth is that if you removed all the earmarks from the budget you ...

The Impotence of Elections – Paul Craig Roberts Posted by sakerfa on November 3rd, 2010 (Infowars) – In his historical novel, The Leopard, Giuseppe di Lampedusa writes that things have to change in order to remain the same. That is what happened in the US congressional elections on November 2. Jobs offshoring, which began on a large scale with the collapse of the Soviet Union, has merged the Democrats and Republicans into one party with two names. The Soviet collapse changed attitudes in socialist India and communist China and opened those countries, with their large excess supplies of labor, to Western capital. Americans out of work, out of income, out of homes and ...
JOHN STOSSEL: Did Freedom Win?

The polls have closed. The Tea Party took some important races, and Republicans re-took control of the House . Many winning candidates campaigned on a promise to cut back on government. Some vowed to restore government to its constitutional limits. As a libertarian, I so want to believe that the Tea Party marks the beginning a comeback for small government. But I’m probably deluding myself. I know that big government usually wins. Remember the last time the Republicans took power? They promised fiscal responsibility, and for six of George W. Bush’s eight years, his party controlled Congress. What did we have to show for it? Federal spending increased by 54 percent. That’s ...

Bernanke: Federal Reserve caused Great Depression Fed chief says, 'We did it. ... very sorry, won't do it again' Posted: March 19, 2008 By David Kupelian © 2010 WorldNetDaily Despite the varied theories espoused by many establishment economists, it was none other than the Federal Reserve that caused the Great Depression and the horrific suffering, deprivation and dislocation America and the world experienced in its wake. At least, that's the clearly stated view of current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. The worldwide economic downturn called the Great Depression, which persisted from 1929 until about 1939, was the longest and worst depression ever experienced by the ...
The Demonization Of The Tea Party Movement

Once upon a time, news anchors at least attempted to conduct themselves in a professional manner. But on election night 2010, quite a few of the anchors on the various news networks threw all standards of professionalism right out the window and did everything they could to demonize the Tea Party movement. As you will see below, Tea Party candidates were not just called "wacky", "kooky" and "extremists" on Tuesday night. On MSNBC alone, Michelle Bachmann was repeatedly asked if she was "hypnotized" as the news anchors openly laughed at her while she was being interviewed, and there was a roundtable discussion which went on for an extended period of ...

The Fuzzy Logic Of Useful Idiots By Giordano Bruno Neithercorp Press – 11/03/2010 It hurts to be wrong. Not just emotionally, but physically, especially when it’s public, like swimming headfirst into a school of very ill-tempered jellyfish…..or maybe piranha. The horror of it is almost cinematic. The more artificially pumped your ego, or the more brainwashed with academic pretension, the more terrifying that moment of realization is, that moment when all your assumptions are dashed aside like a three-year-old’s alphabet blocks. To a certain point, it is understandable why so many people live in such violent denial, however, this does not detract from the perils of ...

A Warning To The Tea Party Nation
Post Date: 2010-11-02 08:38:02 by Itistoolate
4 Comments
A Warning To The Tea Party Nation As far as grassroots activism goes, the surge in Tea Parties across America is one of the more encouraging developments to recently take place. It reminds me of the “Conservative Revolution” of 1994, when the GOP reclaimed both the US Senate and House of Representatives. At that time, it had been over 40 years since the Republican Party controlled both the US House and Senate. And, between the two, the House victories were the most significant. Spurred mostly by the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, a host of young, energetic freshman Republicans marched into Washington, D.C., determined to return a burgeoning and out-of-control federal ...

* Gwynne Dyer Our obsession with the Middle East We attach disproportionate importance, neglecting important news from others parts of the world The media in the Middle East carry a lot of Middle Eastern stories, of course, but why do most of the other media in the world do the same? Asian media strike a better balance, but western media, and any other media that basically follow the American news agenda, focus obsessively on the region. Between a third and a half of all foreign news stories in the western print and broadcast media are usually about the Middle East. Like fish that never notice the medium they swim in, people tend not to remark upon this familiar aspect of their media ...
