14. Riiiiiight! DING DING DING DING!!!

[RuleOfNah]

15. Is the Primary line as simple as Keynes vs Hayek/Friedman?

Someone posted a quote from an Obama book. It was about the New Deal, derogatory in nature. I am a fan of the New Deal and of Keynes. I think Hayek and Friedman were ideological disasters.

Am I wrong in thinking that Obama sides with the Hayek/Friedman crooks? I sure hope so!

4. "(Reagan) put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it..."

"I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating." - Barack Obama

"Those excesses, of course, were feminism, the consumer rights movement, the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and the antiwar movement. The libertarian anti-government ideology of an unaccountable large liberal government was designed by ideological conservatives to take advantage of the backlash against these 'excesses'." - Matt Stoller

6. Yeah, the USA Was Ripe for Fascism Then

because all the people who fought Nazis were dead, except Reagan, who only thought he fought them.

And once the excessively wealthy and greedy had bought up and subverted the press and the politics, everything clicked into place. And there was W. And Reagan thought it was good. And so he rested.

5. This sounds more like what Nancy's father, Dr. Loyal Davis, would say and

Reagan repeating it w/o thinking about it.

Ronald Reagan was the president of the Screen Actors Guild in the 40's and a supporter of the New Deal. After he met and married Nancy, he "converted" to her adopted father's politics which were somewhat right of Barry Goldwater.
