A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

Your liberty past present and future.  A very good presentation explaining why the marketplace of ideas and values is infinitely better than using a government to impose values.

Welcome to the new dictatorship.

I saw a picture of Reagan today and I cried.  A man who cared more for his country than he did his personal career.

Then there is Obama.  Cheap African style dictator right next to Robert Mugabe in the Sears catalog.  Print money and grab power.  Run flat over those that oppose you.

Yes I saw a picture of Reagan today and I cried.

We are accustomed to thinking of Germany as the bad guy as afterall this is the country that brought us Hitler. A tyrant and a lout. 

However turnabout is fairplay and now we have Angela Merkel acting in the name of freedom and the small guy everwhere.  She is holding firm against a third wave of stimulus.   This appears to have the lefties in a tizzy as it stands to make Obama look bad.  Germany by taking its knocks stands to recover sooner than the USA.  In addition the huge wave of inflation that will hit the USA when the economy finally does recover will not hit europe as hard.  I grieve for what Obama and the left are doing to the republic.   It is clear after the boy-king with sagging man boobs our country will never be the same.

I am however proud of the USA in one respect.   We successfully turned Germany into a country with a leader that is confronting Obama’s tyranny of the money printing press.   This printing press is taking us into slavery and corroding the bonds of interpersonal trust that make us a cohesive society.  Obama is the American Robert Mugabe complete with dellusions of grandeur.

Obama is refusing to accept repayment of TARP monies by  banks trying to repay them.  This of course leaves Obama with a stick to wield over these same banks heads.   But imagine if a single banker were to load of his repayment cash into an armored car and personally drive it up to the federal reserves doors?   With a little news coverage pressure would be immense on Obama to accept repayment.   It is a situation Obama can only lose and the banker would over night become a folk hero and gain an entry in the history books.  Free us from this madman Obama’s clutches.   This child will run the country into the ground.

Thus I ask where are all the heros? 

Historian Michael Wood delves through medieval court records to follow the fortunes of a village in Hertfordshire and, more particularly, the family of peasant Christina Cok. The 14th century was a perilous time in British history, shot through with famine, plague and war. It was a time of climate change, virulent cattle diseases and, above all, the Black Death. But it was also the time when modern mentalities were shaped, not just by the rulers but increasingly by the common people. It was the beginning of the end of serfdom, the growth of individual freedom and the start of a capitalist market economy. Michael chooses an everyday story of a medieval country family through which to illustrate the bigger picture of how the character and destiny of ordinary British people was being shaped. It is history told not from the top of society but from the bottom – and especially through the eyes of the forgotten Michael brings to life the story of a 14th-century extended family: peasant Christina Cok, her father Hugh, estranged husband William, and her children John and Alice. Michael shows us that though their lives might at first seem quite alien, you only have to scratch below the surface to find uncanny connections with modern-day Britons. In them, you can see our beginnings as a nation of shopkeepers and the roots of the British love affair with beer and football. Perhaps more importantly is the triumph of that sturdy and cussed streak of individualism that has been a characteristic of ‘Britishness’ down the centuries.

Take Away:    As you watch this video you should be asking yourself if things are different in any real way from the feudal days of the middle ages.  Just as today the law is used more to obfuscate and thwart rather than attain justice.  The critical fault of the left today is its religious belief in the power of government.  Yet is it not clear that government is used more to enslave than any other single function?    Can  you imagine what the governments at the time would have been able to do with a database?   The english have been steeped in  bureaucracy for a millenia.  Now that is hard to fathom.  I am forced to posit that mankind can not thrive in this circumstance and that the world was fortunate many other regions were free from this sort of government.  As we enter an age of every last bit of the world coming under the unwanted embrace of bureaucracy how will the spirit of mankind react ?   It is a dower grey fog that looms ahead of mankind.

Growth in the money supply.

I always pay my debts.  Always.

However in the case of the United States government we need to shut down their ability to borrow money from foreign governments.  Incredibly after bilking foreign investors with various imaginative forms of investment paper the dollar strengthened as the world paniced.  Governments and individuals around the world mistakenly thought the USA was the safest place for their money.  But after Obama was elected was this true any more?   Clearly not as he is spending every buck that comes into the country and then some.   In doing so he is increasing government size at cancer like rates of growth.   There is only one way to shut this down and that is for the rest of the world to stop lending us money.

I hope they stop soon.  It will be bad news for the strength of the dollar.  Here in Brazil I won’t like the fact that it takes more to buy the necessities of life but then that will just be my part.   For all the pain it will cause the USA will end up being a better place. 

Are you listening China?

Obama is a sure failure now.   If you do not understand what this portends for the future of the United States you are a liberal with standard low IQ.  The explanation of what will happen is here.

To the conservatives:  I do not need to explain this to you.

We are going to have inflation as never before.    When the economy shows the first signs  of recovery this situation is going to explode like a fuel – air bomb.  Every black friend I know has trouble understanding and managing money.  I would never be a friend to a liar and misanthrope like Obama but the trend continues with his tenure.
