One of America's leading economist/social commentators issues a sobering warning about our political future.
If increased government spending with borrowed or newly created money is a "stimulus," then the Weimar Republic should have been stimulated to unprecedented prosperity, instead of runaway inflation and widespread economic desperation that ultimately brought Adolf Hitler to power.So what you're saying is that the failure of the Obama plan will result in Republicans taking the levers of power and unleashing a genocidal dictatorship? Good lord, Thomas Sowell, you are SCARING ME. I guess I'll just enjoy whatever degenerate art and avant garde cabaret our dying Bohemian society produces while there's still time.
Always with the Nazis. Always. It's like all political warning scenarios play a six-degrees-of-Adolf game.
Hey, Balk, that sounds like a plan.
"Why let discussions with visiting celebrities be a constant distraction during a televised tennis match or baseball game?"
So true, Sowell. So true.
That explains the new show on WB: America's Next Top Hitler.
Another show about Tyra? No thanks.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, call your barber.
Not to distract from the Hitlerity, but "Random thoughts on the passing scene"? Even Bill Kristol can string his 750 words together thematically.
Does that mean that Lin Manuel Miranda is the new Brecht?
And Independence Day is the new Triumph des Willens.
So I watched Valkyrie over the weekend. Good movie. Quit laughing, it WAS good.
Sowells cold contempt for the less fortunate and his unwillingness to speak to the unbridled greed of the last few decades reveals a frightening ignorance. The soul of this country is damaged when good men are unable to accept responsibility for spectacular failures and then move on to assign blame to a powerless class. It is then that anarchy and chaos fill the void of compassion and common sense. Get it together brother and get the hell off your soapbox...it is crumbling beneath you and you dont even know it.
Yeah, but the problem with Nazi rallies these days is that the TVs aren't widescreen.
I like that with each week we learn more about Balk's musical theater appreciation.
