The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

based upon what value? because it IS all about the value of the fiat and nothing more solid than that....

libor anyone?
moodys anyone?

they just randomly talk about value and the value of all kinds of currencies and the trade....the value put upon a
leather couch/BMW would lead some to commit suicide if all of a sudden the value of their lifestyle were to
fall....

just as the banks don't want to own property that no one is paying interest on is as much as the same as the government
owning things there is no tax collected on....

in the end the masses win....survival always does....it's just really hard work when the system isn't there


Libor was 2007. and so was Moody's.

If Bush did such a bang up job, then why don't they want him to show his face in public until after the election?

Is it that it might remind Romney supporters that they want to put the party back in power that royally screwed everything up in the first place?

Why didn't Bush speak at the convention? Or Cheney? Or Rove? Or Colin Powel?

Why would the repubs march up to the stage the same people that Obama is campaigning against?  They want Obamato run on his record, not run against GWB.  Obama is running a straw man campaign.  They are attempting to prop upBush so they can knock him down.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

WHAT'S THE VALUE?
WHO DECIDES THE VALUE?

they are pretending that moody's/libor and bank stress tests all fixed it for everyone, when in fact it was just
a dog and pony show....VIRTUAL VALUE IS ALL IT IS.....

Maybe because he's not running.  This election isn't about him or his policies, or his time in office - it's about looking to the future, not the past.

Are you sure you're not Boxy trying to grow a pair?

If you look to the future in the Republican Party... all America can see IS the past.  The same GWB policy, the
same old GWB war (only this one is in Iran) the same old Tax Cuts to solve every economic problem.
Romney/GWB/  GWB/Romney... the biggest difference is that one is a Mormon.
