In an event brought to you by the Koch brothers.
The participants in Aspen dined under the stars at the top of the gondola run on Aspen Mountain, and listened to Glenn Beck of Fox News in a session titled, “Is America on the Road to Serfdom?” (The title refers to a classic of Austrian economic thought that informs libertarian ideology and that Mr. Beck popularized on his show.)…Participants in the Aspen event included some of the nation’s wealthiest families and biggest names in finance: private equity and hedge fund executives like John Childs, Cliff Asness, Steve Schwarzman and Ken Griffin; Phil Anschutz, the entertainment and media mogul ranked by Forbes as the 34th-richest person in the country; Rich DeVos, the co-founder of Amway; Steve Bechtel of the giant construction firm; and Kenneth Langone, a founder of Home Depot.

nice skirting of the fact that shit-for-brains here thinks the president was born in Nigeria.
Yeah so Obama is fucking up this country’s financial system, what the hell are any of you assholes going to do about it? Who here actually votes?
“I have already referred to the differences between conservatism and liberalism in the purely intellectual field, but I must return to them because the characteristic conservative attitude here not only is a serious weakness of conservatism but tends to harm any cause which allies itself with it. Conservatives feel instinctively that it is new ideas more than anything else that cause change. But, from its point of view rightly, conservatism fears new ideas because it has no distinctive principles of its own to oppose them; and, by its distrust of theory and its lack of imagination concerning anything except that which experience has already proved, it deprives itself of the weapons needed in the struggle of ideas. Unlike liberalism, with its fundamental belief in the long-range power of ideas, conservatism is bound by the stock of ideas inherited at a given time. And since it does not really believe in the power of argument, its last resort is generally a claim to superior wisdom, based on some self-arrogated superior quality.”

It’s true it’s true. The Commoner in Cheef is from Ubangi, Africa and if they’d ever allow his real Afercan birth certificate to come out you’d see. They have witch doctors in Aferca and us PATRIOTIC tea partyers has us a former witch—she was a “mole” just undercover and all—and like a mole she had a wild hair to run for office to FIGHT THE LIBERALS on their own turf: masterbation. When skeeter whippin LIBERALS are self medicating with SELF ABUSE, going off like a Rainbird Sprinkler and all or just finger trenching to beat the band (pardon the expression) how is it possible to THINK CLEARLY???? We have to take back America where white men were ordered by God to run this country in a church like way and OTHERS were to serve us like minorities and women. If it wasn’t for a woman we’d all be in Paradise but because of EVE and the SNAKE we all have to trade costless collars or some CDO or MDS or some alphanumeric bullshit instead of being in HEAVEN. So, men were ordained to rule the world and specially in America which was in the HOLY LAND until the GREAT FLOOD of Jonah and a wooden boy was snared by the GREAT WHALE and learned that he wasn’t a human but rather a wooden boy when he found a prehistoric Playboy magazine inside the whale and HIS HAND CAUGHT FIRE!!! Like the fire in that fake torch that the Statue of Freedom in New Jersey harbor has because it came from the FRENCH. A real statute of Freedom would have a white man holding an automatic weapon and his head would be shaved and you could walk up inside him and look out his eyes that were modeled after GLEN BECK whos is richer than 10 feet up a bulls ass because of God’s gift of Gold to him!! Long ago when Mr. Beck was making his “seed faith” offerings and spilling his seed everywhere he knew one day that 2 million people (according to Fox News) would attend every rally he held to FIGHT THE LIBERALS and TAKE BACK AMERICA and there would be rides and events for the millions of kids whos parents brought them like the “BURY YOUR GUNS” exhibit where kids put on brown shirts and use a toy back hoe to bury piles of GI Joe equipment and then there was the “Compound Fun” and “Weapons Petting Booth”. And we’d all lissen to the Dixie Chicks sing “I’m Proud to be an American” as gun camera film plays to show Cheney and Limbaugh and Hannity receiving their medal for valor in the Vietnam War. I have a tear in my eye that America got THIS CLOSE to having social programs before we drug it back.
I assume you skipped this part, where he specifically exempted Americans from that criticism:
“Conservatism proper is a legitimate, probably necessary, and certainly widespread attitude of opposition to drastic change. It has, since the French Revolution, for a century and a half played an important role in European politics. Until the rise of socialism its opposite was liberalism. There is nothing corresponding to this conflict in the history of the United States, because what in Europe was called ‘liberalism’ was here the common tradition on which the American polity had been built: thus the defender of the American tradition was a liberal in the European sense.”
try reading past the second paragraph, i.e.:
“Connected with the conservative distrust if the new and the strange is its hostility to internationalism and its proneness to a strident nationalism. Here is another source of its weakness in the struggle of ideas. It cannot alter the fact that the ideas which are changing our civilization respect no boundaries. But refusal to acquaint one’s self with new ideas merely deprives one of the power of effectively countering them when necessary. The growth of ideas is an international process, and only those who fully take part in the discussion will be able to exercise a significant influence. It is no real argument to say that an idea is un-American, or un-German, nor is a mistaken or vicious ideal better for having been conceived by one of our compatriots.”
you could tell me with a straight face the above criticism does not apply to Beck and most of his ilk?
I think you forgot your tinfoil hat, dude.

You can be so anal sometimes, Bess.
This period reminds me of the period back in the 1950′s and 1960′s when people fumed and raged over crazy shit, like black people eating at the same counter and entering the same schools. And all those frothing zealots back then have faded into the woodwork now, quiet in their roll as the grandparents of people today who say, “This is about preserving America for our kids and it’s not a racial thing, my sudden half assed interest in debt and fiscal responsibility”.
And 20 or 40 years from now everyone will look back and pretend they were not the frothing agitated loons who trashed the first black president under the guise of being good patriotic Americans.
Stick a fork in it and it tastes the same.
20 or 40 years from now they’ll look back at the Obama era with the same fondness they do today looking back at the Jimmy Carter era.
Right, because all Democrats you don’t like are exactly alike.
you are a fvcking retard.
