Kristol Clear

"The enemy of liberal capitalism today is not so much socialism as nihilism. Only liberal capitalism doesn't see nihilism as an enemy, but rather as just another splendid business opportunity."

"The New Left, though it echoes this proposition when it is convenient for its purposes, is actually dedicated to the counterbelief- - which is the preliberal proposition- - that to be good is to be free. In the war between these two heresies, the idea of a free society that is in some specific sense virtuous (the older bourgeois ideal) and the ideal of a good community that is in some specific sense free (the older "socialist" ideal as represented, say, by European social democracy) are both emasculated; and the very possibility of a society that can be simeotaneously virtuous and free, i.e. that organically weds order to liberty, becomes ever more remote."

"The danger is rather that the large corporation will be thoroughly integrated into the public sector, and lose its private character altogether. The transformation of American capitalism that this would represent - - a radical departure from the quasi-bourgeois "mixed economy"to a system that could be fairly described as kind of "state capitalism"- - does constitute a huge potential threat to the individual liberties Americans have traditionally enjoyed."

All of the above are from Irving Kristol, and all are prophetic of what Obama is doing to America.

Unlaw

Here's another quote, this one being by a Dr. Freeman in the Fortnightly Review of September of 1871.

"We have reached the state which our fathers called Unlaw, not the state where law is silent, but the state where law is turned about and become its own opposite, the state when the institutions which were meant to declare right, and truth, and freedom, had been turned into engines of wrong, and falsehood, and bondage."

Three Political Experts

Sometimes a person's following has nothing to do with how much sense they make. Mao Zedong was not only a psychotically anti-American communist, his theory that the will to be wealthy and productive was all that China needed to be wealthy and productive lead to famine and decades of poverty. His thoughts would be of only historical interest if it weren't for the fact that many on the left still hold them. One wonders if Oh Blah Blah hasn't adopted these thoughts, since his Norman Vincent Peale economics seems to be that you can spend four trillion dollars and have economic growth by mouthing the words "fiscal responsibility."

Jesse Jackson said at the 1992 Democratic Convention that the Virgin Mary should have had an abortion. This would just be an odd religious belief if so many didn't see Jackson as a "black leader."

Ann Coulter confronts the insanity of Muslims claiming everyone should be Muslim by the insanity that everyone should be Christian. People still invite this Hillary Clinton fan to speak about what she thinks conservatism means.
