Lenin called them "unwitting dupes" basically referring to simple minded western people who envision themselves as intellectuals . In case after case they fail to comprehend the basic scientific thesis of cause and effect - the consequences of actions as it relates to society.

The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was recently referred to by a Liberal commentator as a noble experiment - She failed to mention what happened to the guinea pigs in this failed experiment.

The left, despite their inane propaganda, oftentimes have good intentions. I doubt the majority of leftists truly want to destroy to America.

However, the end result of their actions is just that, the destruction of America and all of it's values.

For their misplaced love for government intervention in the economy ultimately hurts everyone more than it helps it, as can be seen with the failed presidency of F.D.R. Government intervention makes people slaves to the state.
Their crippling regulation ultimately leads to less economic freedom, and makes everyone poorer. It also DESTROYS the concept of freedom, and I personally believe there should be regulation in order to preserve our GOD-given rights.

The thing that drives me nuts about the left is that they implement policies but never are accountable for their failures. In fact, they refuse to acknowledge any failures.

It's like Obama acting like a back seat driver during the IRS scandal and Benghazi scandal. The buck stops with the Tea Party apparently. My guess is libs blame Reagan for the high unemployment and dead economy and disappearing middle class. It's only been, what 20 plus years ago since he was president?

I think that goes for absolutely everyone...
Like literally everyone. Including you too.

Will one of you super-smart intellectual Conservatives please explain the science of "trickle down" economics? Isn't the idea that cutting taxes for the 1% and deregulating everything will let those wealthy job creators make more money which they will then share with the rest of society.

So why aren't those record corporate profits trickling down through higher wages and workers' benefits? It can't be called "trickle down" economics if the wealthy 1% are sitting on trillions of dollars in cash that aren't trickling down.

It's been 40 years since the Shafer Commission told Nixon to legalize marijuana but he started the drug war instead. We still have to put up with that dismal failure, so, yes, Reagan is also to blame for the current mess that we are in, considering that "Reaganomics" is a flaming pile of bullshit.

Pride has nothing to do with it.
I stated facts regarding liberals and liberalism.
You may continue in your astonishment.

Holy shit. American4Americ, I am honestly surprised to say I agree with you. The left doesn't understand because their leaders frown upon intelligent thought. Thus producing idiots who spout off idiotic stuff and deny reason like those here on this board. It is the duty of the right to tell the left about their mistakes and persuade them to see reason. However, it is also the left's duty to inform the right of when they mess up and make them see reason. Both sides thus have a severe dereliction of duty.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Cool story bro

You mad about facts?

Yea the right always bitches about the dems doing something stupid like obamacare and they're all butthurt for years when they lose the presidency and seats in the house and Senate

See I have facts too

Butt hurt? No. Sent to Washington to stop Obama's liberal/progressive/socialist agenda.
The difference liberals exhibit is they believe the Congress exists to do the bidding of the President. To simply rubber stamp the agenda of the Executive Branch.
Sorry Charlie Tuna, it does't work that way.

 

[francoHFW]

WHAT MISTAKES...O-care is a disaster before it even really starts, but no memory of 9/11 incompetence, the stupidest wars ever, and a corrupt DEPRESSION...wtf IS WRONG WITH HATER DUPES ANYWAY LOL...

CHANGE THE GD CHANNEL...or are you just rabid racists in the TP...scarier and scarier lol...

 

[thereisnospoon]

Oh please. Don't act like you'd listen.

Yea right the left always does something stupid like obama care and then ***** that they lost the house to the tea party... ******* idiots

The Democrats won the house vote in 2012 by over a million votes. The GOP kept the majority solely through Gerrymandering.

Now that is a crock of shit and you know it.
In fact the content of your post is so inaccurate, it does not dignify a response.

''"( Noam Chomsky) told Radio VR during an interview posted online last week that he agreed with the conservative political analyst Norman Ornsteins' characterization of the Tea Party.

“He described them as a radical insurgency opposed to rationality, to political compromise, to participation in a parliamentary system — in fact, with no positive goals themselves."

LUCKILY, the braindead TP is scaring the hell out of even the adult GOP now...buh bye...

We;; actually the facts are: That democrats got an historic 75 year ass-kicking in the 2010 mid term election cycle for passing Obamacare. The disaster of implementation of Obamacare is on us now--so I imagine that 2014 midterm is going to be very bad for Democrats running for reelection.

But you're right the unintended consequences have been done by both parties. Republicans certainly are not exempt from making huge mistakes--that affect all Americans.

What it is--is continually electing a bunch of couldn't make in the private sector LAWYERS to run this country--(regardless of which party they represent)

These are very old talking points, and you haven't really added anything interesting. But yes, many policies initiated by the Left have created consequences not intended by their originators. I'd be careful claiming that this is only a problem on the Left. Anyhoo....

I had to take a college course where we read Keynes' "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" and Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom" (one of the best criticisms of Left economic policies ever written). For our final paper we had to demonstrate that we understood the theories of both thinkers. This involved more than just regurgitating them in Cliff Note fashion, rather, we had to demonstrate an understanding of the most and least defensible ideas of each thinker. Whether we ultimately became fans of Neoclassical Economics or Keynesians was far less important than learning what each thinker meant.

Here's what scares me. Most of the websites in your signature are deeply political - they're the kind of websites that don't teach the conceptual difference between Keynes (who believed in markets and private property) and Marx (who didn't). They tell one side of the story, and they tend to deal in talking points rather than theoretical argument. CATO is the most academic and rigorous of the websites you feature. CATO has produced brilliant critiques of Bush's Middle East Policy and the Patriot Act. It also showed how Reagan's slice of the Cold War grew the power and budget of government more than LBJ's War on Poverty. It doesn't merely show the unintended consequences produced by Liberals but also conservatives. You should delve deeper into it.

Here is my point. I have a tattered copy of "Capitalism and Freedom" in my bookshelf. I also have a dog eared copies of Allan Bloom's "The Closing of the American Mind", Edmund Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France", and Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom". These are foundational texts for the current Republican Party. They do not suit my political taste, but I find them brilliant. If you're going to recommend information sources on the Right, why not aim higher than propaganda? There is so much good stuff on the Right - why would you recommend garbage websites that cater to low-information voters?

It's sad that you're understanding of Keynes and Marx comes from places like FOX News. You should read the actual texts and form your own opinions. Rather than puking talking points all over this forum, you should realize that some of us brain dead liberals actually think the deregulation of transportation in the 70s was a good thing. And we also think that in a great number of instances markets do a far better job allocating resources and calibrating incentives. On the other hand some of us think that Carter's antitrust suit against AT&T, a move that ultimately facilitated competition and the creation of new technologies + cheaper long distance. And there are those of us who think that GlassStegall was a very effective regulation, but that most attempts at Price Controls have been failures. In other words, this stuff is a lot more complicated than you make it sound, and not all liberals agree on these things. Your news sources have left you long on anger and short on facts. You can do better.
