Comments on: Obama’s World http://www.newclarion.com/2009/11/obamas-world/ Our mission is to combat the unreason and selflessness that are sweeping our culture from the nihilist left to the religious right, and to sound a new ideal of capitalism and individual rights in American politics.

This was no small part of the animus from someone (ex Dillon-Reed, IIRC) in the SEC against Michael Milken, for instance.

In those moments, it seems as if the object took it upon itself to jump off the edge. But then, when you really think about it, what caused it to finally, dramatically crash to the floor was the hours of small, imperceptible movements it had been making from the moment it was set down in the position that, uninterrupted, made such a dramatic finish inevitable.

No doubt many (most perhaps) past "private sector" advisors withdrew from heavily subsidized industries or enterprises to work finally for the subsidizer. I guarantee that the remaining %10 who hail from the private sector in Obama's clutch are as protectionistic and corporatist as you can get.

Eisenhower was the last American president who regardless of ideology understood how to administer anything. Perhaps that’s for the best. Given the direction they want to take us the more incompetent they are the better. It’s interesting that even the best are only slightly over 50%.

Democrats <i>know</i> that experienced businessmen have no knowledge or skills useful for governing a nation. Besides, businessmen are selfish, lacking in proper moral ideals, and are why the rest of the World hates America. I notice that Clinton is the fourth; all democrats.
