Oh, Romney's not a billionaire. He got on the ground floor of private capital, and he still did not manage to become a billionaire.

What I'm saying is Mitt=scrub tier.

Spacedad posted:

I'm posting this here to contrast the bullshit right wingers always throw out about immigrants with the Charles Dickens-like nightmare of what actually results from that racist immigrant-bashing hogwash.
...
Also because this is a pressing issue, and I want to see if any rear end in a top hat racist nutjobs have said anything about it.

quote:

RUSH: All of these kids, these illegal alien children coming across the border, there was an assertion at WorldNetDaily.com. "An organization of former Border Patrol agents Wednesday charged that the federal government ... is deliberately arranging for a flood of immigrant children to arrive in America for political purposes. 'This is not a humanitarian crisis. It is a predictable, orchestrated and contrived assault on the compassionate side of Americans by her political leaders that knowingly puts minor illegal alien children at risk for purely political purposes,' said the statement released by the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers."

Now, that's not hard to believe. When in the entire history of this country have thousands of children just suddenly decided on their own to walk hundreds of miles and cross several national borders to get to the United States?
...
Excuse me? I want to make sure that I understand this. Obama's at Worcester Tech, and he is speaking for the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee. It's fundraiser stuff. And he said, "Our future rests on the success of DREAM kids." Mr. Snerdley, for those who do not know, what are DREAM kids? What are we talking about here? (interruption) Mmm-hmm. (interruption) Mmm-hmm. (interruption) Mmm-hmm.

Children brought here illegal from other countries who are allowed to stay as part of the DREAM Act. With total amnesty. All right, what is the DREAM Act? (interruption) But our future? Obama is saying our future rests on the success of these kids. What the hell? Now, nothing against these kids, but we have to define terms here. When Obama says, "Our future rests on the success of DREAM kids," he's not talking about America, folks.

He's not talking about Main Street. He's not talking about the United States. He's talking about the Democrat Party. Make no mistake. This is at a Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser at Worcester Tech in Massachusetts. When he says, "Our future rests on the success of DREAM kids," he says, "These are our future voters. We want 'em to succeed. We want 'em to get here; we want 'em to stay here."
...
Look, I have a smart-aleck question. That's what this is, but it's a good one, and my smart-aleck question is rooted in a reminder. Remember what Obama and the Democrats think about America. They believe that we have stolen much of what we have that has made us a superpower. They believe that we have sent our military all over the world and we have plundered and stolen resources like oil, you name it.

We've impoverished the world, and we're not a legit superpower, and we're unjust and immoral, and our founding is suspect and so forth. They believe this, okay? So here's Obama at Worcester Tech, and he's talking about the greatness of these DREAM kids and how we need 'em. "Oh-ho-ho! Our success depends on these DREAM kids coming to America and being successful, 'cause they're special kids. They are really special kids!

"That's why they get in here. They are really, really special. They are the future of America." Well, if they are so great for the US, why aren't they great for their native countries? If they're great for us, I assume they'd be great for Mexico. If they're great for us -- if they're really, really going to determine our future -- why wouldn't they determine the future of Guatemala, El Salvador, et cetera?

And then, folks, is it right for us to steal the hope and future and future greatness of Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador by taking these young gifts of love away from those countries? What gives us the right, I ask? What gives us the right to take these young kids who determine the future? They're so talented, they're so good, they're so important, that our future rests on them. What about Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, where they are from?

Why are we stealing the future from these other countries?

I thought that's the kind of thing we did that Obama thought was unjust, immoral, and had to stop.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Back to the DREAM children. Look, folks, I admit it's a smart-aleck question, but it's a drat good one. This administration, Barack Obama, is guided by the words of Reverend Wright. Reverend Wright says that white man's greed runs a world in need or some such thing. It is unquestionable inarguable, undeniable, that Obama and American leftists believe this country is a pretender, that we never really were a legitimate superpower.

"We only got what we had by stealing it. We colonized other parts of the world, and we were mean to people. We took their oil. We took their resources. We made ourselves rich; we kept them poor. We subjugated them." That's what they think. Okay, fine. Now here are these DREAM kids, and Obama goes, "They are the future! They are the future of this country." Well, if they're that special, why aren't they special to the countries in which they were born?

What gives us the right to take them?

"Well, we didn't take 'em, Rush. They left on their own."

Well, I don't care. We're certainly trying to take them. Obama's making a big push for 'em. But the point is if they're our future -- if they're so crucial, if they're so good, so special -- then why aren't they special to where they came from: Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico? Why are we comfortable stealing the future of those countries? The answer is: It's a Democrat voter-registration drive. If you understand that, it all becomes clear.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The Daily Caller has a story about the influx, the tens of thousands of -- well, I guess they're the future of America that are being kept at military bases and bus stations in California and Arizona. "The US Department of Health and Human Services is welcoming members of Congress and their senior staff to tour a temporary shelter being used to house illegal immigrant children -- but the invite comes with a list of rules, including a suggestion that members leave their cellphones," i.e., cameras, "in their vehicles.

"The 40-minute tour will take place Friday at the Ventura County Naval Base in Oxnard, Calif., according to the email invitation, obtained by The Daily Caller. The tours are meant to give members and staffers an inside look at how temporary facilities are being used to house illegal immigrant --" futures of the nation "-- children who came to the US without their parents. The minors, who hail mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, are being called 'Unaccompanied Children,' or UACs." And no photos are being permitted on the tour.

Congress can go look, but they are told to shut up, no phone calls while they're there, and no pictures are permitted. A staffer, who made it plain spelling out the rules, said, "Don�t talk to anyone, don�t record anything you might happen to see, but come visit us and we�ll give you a sanitized story with only the photos and accounts we want you to have."

And that's what's going on.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here's Bob in Hughesville, Maryland. You're up first. Great to have you, sir. Hi.

CALLER: Thank you taking my call, Rush.

RUSH: You bet.

CALLER: I hope you're hitting them well. I wanted to say, you know, I'm sitting here watch this stuff with all these illegal voters coming into the country. I heard today that they'll be bringing quite a few of them up here to Virginia. I've been thinking about it, and it seems to me a pretty good strategic move on his part. I mean, if you can flood Virginia, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico with a hundred thousand new illegal voters, you pretty much have locked up the electoral college. I don't know off the top of my head what Texas is worth, but, I mean, they don't need much more. I mean, if they just win Florida or Ohio, they've got the presidency locked up in those two states. If you give 'em Texas, Arizona, and Virginia, we now have a king or queen, whichever one of them runs. So, I mean, it's a brilliant strategy. I don't understand why the Republicans don't see what's going on with this.

RUSH: They do. They want in on it.

CALLER: Well, they're killing us up here on these jobs. I mean, you can't get on a site anymore unless you speak Spanish. They've taken over the construction market.

RUSH: Let me ask you a question. By the way, when you say "they" are preparing to flood Virginia with a hundred thousand illegals, who is "they"?

CALLER: Obama, the Democrats.

RUSH: Okay.

CALLER: Whoever's pushing these illegals, cause this is definitely coordinated through the government. I mean, they're busing them across the border from what I understand. They're supposed to bring in a hundred thousand of them --

RUSH: There's two things, two things. They have flooded Texas, and the Republicans own the state.

CALLER: I doubt they keep up with that pace.

RUSH: No, the Democrats have a different strategy for Texas, but you're right. If they ever got Texas --

CALLER: It's over.

RUSH: It is. They don't need anything else.

CALLER: It's over.

RUSH: They keep New York and California. But, look, things have consequences out there, Bob. If you flood Virginia with a hundred thousand, you just bring 'em in, illegals, that start infiltrating the job market, everything else, the people that live there are not gonna just sit there and twiddle their thumbs, "Oh, hi, how are you, welcome."

CALLER: Well, that's what they've been doing so far.

RUSH: Look what happened to Eric Cantor. If you flood Virginia with a hundred thousand illegals, you're gonna even have some Democrats revolt at this.

CALLER: Not in northern Virginia, Rush. If you're gonna ask my opinion, Virginia's gone. Northern Virginia, I work around the DC area.

RUSH: I know northern Virginia's the DC suburbs and so forth.

CALLER: It's gone. I'm just telling you now, I mean, I go on job sites, I don't speak Spanish and there's no way I can even compete with the Spanish because I don't speak it.

RUSH: Maybe my mistake is taking you literally. If you bring in a hundred thousand and flood Virginia in various places, there's gonna be a backlash to it. Ask Eric Holder. The backlash is gonna happen in November and one of the fascinating things, Bob, is all of the people who are responsible for this never dump the problem in their own backyards. We've lost northern Virginia, but not because of illegal immigrants or illegal immigrants only. We've lost northern Virginia because everybody there is a liberal Democrat working for the government. And they've all got their hands inside the Treasury in one way or another.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Say, can I ask another question? Why aren't American kids special? And why aren't American kids the future of this country? No, no, no, seriously. What kind of president talks this way? (interruption) I know. In his mind, native-born kids are the kids of the oppressors. White privileged kids are the kids of the oppressors. But what president speaks this way?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Our last caller was Bob from Virginia, and he's like so many Americans. He was talking about the influx of illegals, particularly these unaccompanied children, the DREAM Act children and the overall mass. We're being swamped at the moment, at the borders. Now, the traditional answer to a caller who would call with his allegations -- and let's review his allegations.

"Rush, there are a hundred thousand of them here. We're gonna lose Virginia. I already can't get a contracting job in northern Virginia 'cause I don't speak Spanish. I can't get a job! We're losing the country. If we lose Virginia, we've lost the presidency, and they're flooding us with a hundred thousand of them, and they're gonna do it to Texas." Now, the normal reaction to that would go like this:

"Bob, I'm sorry. You're wrong. This isn't orchestrated. The Obama administration doesn't want these people here. That's why they're giving these poor kids English lessons and lawyers. That's why they're trying to track down their parents, provide transportation for the kids to their relatives in the US so we can get 'em home. That's why the Department of Homeland Security required that these unaccompanied alien children get family planning and full medical checks ups and we send 'em home.

"It's all in preparation for their imminent deportation." That's what the normal answer would be. But it isn't. None of that. How is this even happening? You know, we've got this story at World Net Daily. These former border agents are saying that this whole thing is orchestrated. I can't think of a time in my life where tens of thousands of unaccompanied illegal children have shown up at the same time. Janet Napolitano said the border is more secure than it has ever been in the nation's history.

So how in the world can this be happening? And again I ask the question. There's Obama at Worcester Tech, at a Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraising event talking about DREAM kids as "the future of America." He said, "They know and we know that our future rides in them." What president talks this way? Do you ever remember a president speaking this way about people in violation of US law?

Look! There is that spokeswoman from the State Department that I saw over the weekend. Well, she's gone now. She's a classic example of a modern-educated feminazi coming out of some Ivy League school ending up in government. That's the woman who said (sniveling), "We at the State Department, we know far more about what happened to Mr. Bergdahl than his platoon members! His platoon members might lie. They might make things up. We know far more."

She was snarky and sniveling and arrogant and condescending and ignorant at the same time. But back to my point. I didn't lose my train of thought. What president speaks this way? If you're gonna talk about the future of America, normally you talk about American kids. But, you see, American kids are the children of the oppressors. American kids are the children of the white oppressors.

The privileged, white oppressors! You might think that's a little bit extreme language-wise, but that's exactly how they are described in mainstream, leftist enclaves. White children of privilege, oppressors. That's the view of this country that many of them hold, and they've got a sympathetic president and administration running the country.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: This is Mike in Lynn, Massachusetts. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.

CALLER: Hi, tea drinking, cigar smoking conservative dittos, Rush.

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.

CALLER: A couple shows ago you asked how to stop the influx into the country of all these kids. Well, they should just shut off all the aid because they're already giving them money, and then, you know, why should they double-dip and get it twice? That's one thing. But the other thing is, they're coming in now. He knows that the last six years have been a Charlie foxtrot, and the Dems are probably gonna lose the Senate and the White House, the future base of the Democrat Party is the kids. He's diluting America with these people because they don't know the history, they don't care, all they want is free stuff. And by the time the Democrats are back in party again, this is gonna be the future. They're just brainwashing 'em.

RUSH: So let me see if I understand. You think the Democrats have pretty much convinced themselves that, because of their own policies they're gonna lose the Senate --

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: -- and we're gonna keep the House. They're gonna be out of power. So they are beginning to groom with these young DREAM Act kids and the others that are swarming the border, they are now grooming and brainwashing their future voters and so forth. Is that what you think?

CALLER: That's what he thinks. That's why he's saying it and trying to do it.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Like the other caller said earlier, you know, they flood enough states, you know, it's an Electoral College.

RUSH: Well, I think all that's true but I don't think it scratches the surface what's really going on, but I'm out of time.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2014/06/13/obama_the_illegal_children_are_our_future

We were also treated to Limbaugh wondering why people keep talking about the stupid poo poo he says

quote:

RUSH: So, Snerdley comes in today, "Say, did you see all this stuff about you on TV?"

"No."

"Did you see all this stuff about you in The Politico?"

"No."

"You didn't?"

"No."

I can't tell you the last time I had cable news on, when I was watching it. I'm just being honest about it. I don't watch it much anymore. If there's breaking news, but, hell, everything's breaking news now, so... (interruption) It is. They have "breaking news" whenever anything is going on. Breaking news to report sports scores. Breaking news to report what Beckham's wearing at the World Cup. I just don't have any interest in it anymore.

So no, I didn't see any of the stuff. But I have the audio sound bites. And I think the staff is playing with me, 'cause they hear me, they listen to this program. They heard me early in the week saying I'm worn out with Hillary. They heard me say I'm tired of it. They heard me say I don't want to get caught up in all this. I do not want to fall prey to the daily soap opera script that makes whatever Hillary's doing or saying or wherever she's going the focus of everybody's interest. So I got the audio sound bites today, it's all Hillary. Well, some of it is about what I said about Hillary, yes, the cable networks do take excerpts of me on this program.

I wonder why it's always me. For example, why are they taking sound bites of me, what I say about Mrs. Clinton, and then using those sound bites on their programs for their guests to react to and thus create a segment? Why are they using me? (interruption) Is that right? I'm the only one saying what I'm saying? Is that right? You think that's what it is? Well, that may be, but I clearly am not the only one thinking it. So actually what they're doing is they're hoping each day that I say what everybody's thinking, and then when I do they go, "Yeah, right, we got two more segments out of this." This is why I say "show prep for the rest of the media."

Well, okay, we'll get to it, I do have them. If we're gonna play sound bites today, they're gonna have to be about Hillary 'cause they're... (interruption) What do you mean, not gonna do it now? (interruption) You don't want to me to do it now? (interruption) I've got no choice. People have worked very hard on these sound bites, finding sound bites of Hillary. It takes, what, 20 minutes. And so if we're gonna play these sound bites -- look at this. And by the way, she's encountering something she's not used to and it kind of makes a point.

You know, the libs, the leftist politicians, Democrats, really don't know what it is like to face a confrontational or combative or even challenging media. I mean, they literally are given softball questions most of the time.
...
RUSH: Okay. I've been putting it off and putting it off, but I can't, especially since I committed to it. Yeah, it's time to start chipping away on the audio sound bites that are about Mrs. Clinton and me. I guess I deserve this, because I said earlier in the week, "Look, I'm really tired of it. I'm bored with it. There isn't anything new. In fact, I almost feel like my intelligence is being insulted when I'm told that I have to care, when I'm told that I have to think that this is the Smartest Woman in the World.
...
And it started back in 1992, smartest woman in the world. They gave her health care. She botched that. She botched the way they handled Paula Jones. She botched practically everything they gave her to do. Botched Benghazi, botched the Russian reset. Where is the evidence of this brilliance and this competence? Anyway, so we got another bite on this with Mary Katharine Ham and Juan Williams continuing.

HAM: I'm not sure that electorally it will matter in the end. I hope that's not the case.

WILLIAMS: There we go.

HAM: I think she will ride the wave of a lot of identity politics. She will be treated quite well by the media after she gets through an initial sort of questioning. The messaging will be, "Look, I'm the first woman and you better wanna break this glass ceiling with me or else you hate women." And anybody who discusses her or criticizes her, much like in the form of our criticisms of Barack Obama, will be called sexist instead of racist.

WILLIAMS: Limbaugh said nobody's gonna want to watch a woman age on TV if she's elected president, so I think we already started that.

HAM: And you've already started it.

RUSH: (laughing) Folks, you know what this means? This watching a woman age, I asked the question with a picture of Hillary, do the American people want to watch a woman -- they didn't say this -- A, with a picture of Hillary up there -- they haven't forgotten. Just like they haven't forgotten Operation Chaos. So Juan Williams, he cites that, and then he cited, the brightest, the smartest woman in the world. So they're very much aware, and these little things that irritate them, they never forget them. "Yeah, yeah, and Limbaugh said the American people..." (laughing) I was the first, I absolutely was the first. Well, the way this came up, I was defending her. Don't forget. This was part of Operation Chaos and I was defending.

She had been thrown under the bus by her own party for this young, articulate black guy. And here's a woman, this was her campaign, 2008. The presidency was hers. This was her payback for enabling Clinton all those years, for helping him to survive. And now look what they're doing to her, and look how they're treating her. You remember all this. Operation Chaos was to keep her campaign alive. And I think there was somebody who had made some comment, before me, about Mrs. Clinton's -- H.R., do you remember who it was? I know there was somebody before me that referenced her appearance. I forget where it was.

But, anyway, if you recall, I said how unfair is it that people -- do the American people want to watch a woman age publicly in office. And I was doing it in defense of her because she was being ripped up by her own party. You remember, there was some really deep divisions in the Democrat Party during that primary. I was saying they don't do this to men, is it fair. Operation Chaos, I was defending Mrs. Clinton. But look what Juan Williams remembers. All he remembers is that I asked the question. He doesn't know or maybe didn't know, doesn't certainly remember the context.

And course Mary Katharine Ham is correct. The attraction for the Democrats and Mrs. Clinton is it's another first. And any criticism of Mrs. Clinton will be said to be sexist, therefore illegitimate and not allowed, like criticism of Obama is called racism. But I don't think it's that automatic, 'cause she's not new. She has been around the block a bunch of times on the public stage, 1992. She has got a record, whereas Obama didn't. And it's not an admirable one.

It might have been -- I don't want to get anybody in trouble here -- but it might have been a photo I saw on Drudge that made me ask that question. It might have been. 'Cause I didn't just bring that out of nothing. I didn't grab it out of the air. I mean, it might have been sitting there but I didn't just grab it. Somebody else ran with it first.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I told you. I told you. I guess it's 10, right? That's it, folks. We're getting proof now. It was a photo on Drudge that I was reacting to that got the whole thing started. Look, let me grab some phone calls. It is Open Line Friday. We'll get back to all these sound bites. We're just getting started here on that.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Okay. We now have incontrovertible proof that what got all the stuff started with me asking if the American people want to watch... In fact, the actual question was: "Does our looks-obsessed culture want to stare at an aging woman?" And this is what got it all started. Let me zoom in here, folks, so you can see this. I'm showing this to Rush 24/7 subscribers at RushLimbaugh.com via the Dittocam.

So zooming in, and there you have it. That was what was on Drudge: "The Toll of a Campaign." In that picture of Mrs. Clinton, she's very stressed, very tired, very worn out, and all the things that accompany that. Later on, there was side-by-side picture of Mrs. Clinton having been made up with no wrinkles. So it offered a comparison. I didn't do that any of that. I just showed it. So there's that.

Now, up next, this is from the website RushLimbaugh.com where all of this was exposed. It's a bigger version of the same picture, and you can't read it. That's a transcript. That's an actual transcript of the program that day. This is December of 2007. This is seven years ago. Juan Williams and the Democrats remember every word of this from seven years ago, December of 2007. So let me zoom out now of the Dittocam.
...
Now, Juan Williams and the boys don't remember that because they can't get past the fact I even had the audacity to bring it up. So coupled with their... Well, they're all thinking it, too, but they don't say it. You couple that with their preexisting prejudice about me, and it must be that I am making fun of Mrs. Clinton and resorting to really, really horrible things to try to keep her from winning, blah, blah, blah.

To me, it's fascinating what they remember. (laughs) It always fascinates me.

Since it's topical and literally the worst thing I've seen in a couple years of following the thread:

At the bottom of this google internet cache is one of Freeps more popular members advocating a "final solution" and Zyklon B showers for the unaccompanied immigrant kids

The cache doesn't have it but it's followed by the poster confirming they mean it, and how they're dedicated to "evil" to combat evil. Followed by a few people saying "Don't do that, it makes us look bad" "this would make you a liberal" and (my favorite) "Please don't say this because you will go to hell and I will miss you when I'm in heaven".

I've laughed at that place for just about everything else but I want this loving shouted from the rooftops.

On one hand the people telling them how stupid that was kind of lifts your spirit...but then the downright scary tone of the replies from the OP about how Freep should "embrace evil" and dedicate themselves to being as shocking and disgusting as possible to spite liberals is just...yuck.

Anyways go to the freep thread for those posts and the continuing saga of the very real conservative who is very serious about the need for Mexican genocide.

The spookiest part is how others were criticizing Lazmataz but they were doing it with the same stridency that an RV forum might muster up for somebody that was exceeding their tow weight.

The interesting thing is that the whole exchange is like a ratcheted up microcosm tea party/extremist outbreak on Freep.

- Freep establishment spends all day flirting with violent, racist bullshit for funsies with neat codewords and in-jokes.
- Laz finally says "hey gently caress it why pretend anymore just to be PC and appease LIBERALS. I say we go all in and be proud of our unspoken desire to put people in NAZI GAS CHAMBERS. By the way if you found anything ambiguous about this, here is a Zyklon B gas poster. Got it?"
- Freep establishment says "whoa there, you've crossed the line. I mean, obviously your intentions are good but this is bad PR! No one actually SAYS they want people in Nazi gas chambers, except liberals I guess..."
- Laz says "You aren't dedicated to the cause unless you're going as hard as me! I'm quite explicitly saying we SHOULD BE EVIL. We need to be this pure and forceful to win!"
- Freep establishment decides Laz's passion for the cause is enough to keep him around, to ignore the problem and pretend it never happened, doesn't ban him. Laz gets tacit approval for loving NAZI GAS CHAMBERS and continues the good lords work.

Butt first, let's

Yeah, I mean I was skimming the Freep thread the other day and saw that some Freeper got banned for arguing that they should be consistent on their birther stuff with Obama and Cruz. If you're banning people for something like that but not for advocating the literal Mexican Holocaust then how can you even deceive yourself that you're not a total rear end in a top hat or part of a community of total assholes?

Ban people who advocate genocide. Its not an unreasonable line to draw and it might help when you try and convince people you're not a racist.

I think Bloomberg has figured out how best to harness the collective hate of the RWM and channel it at pro-gun Republicans.

Breitbart posted:

Bloomberg�s donation to the Super PAC supporting Cochran could end up becoming a kiss of death for Cochran in the heated runoff against conservative state Sen. Chris McDaniel, who bested Cochran in the popular vote in the primary a little over a week ago, forcing a runoff a week from Tuesday.
Bloomberg supports gun control�something Cochran says he�s against.
�This is not a battle of dollars, this is a battle for the hearts and minds of America so that we can protect our children, protect innocent people,� Bloomberg said in a recent television interview about his renewed fight against the National Rifle Association.
�We�re the only civilized country in the world that has this problem,� Bloomberg added, while highlighting gun-related deaths in the country.
While the NRA has interestingly enough also thrown its weight�with Bloomberg�behind Cochran, pro-2nd Amendment groups like National Association of Gun Rights and Gun Owners of America have endorsed McDaniel.

He's exploiting the race to the right and RHINO phenomenon to short circuit an NRA endorsement. This was probably the smartest $250k spent in campaigning. The language here is casting doubt on Cochran, despite his NRA A+ rating.

R-Money's was pretty terrible but all told I think McCain's was a lot worse. Joe the Plumber and Palin, and all that. McCain also lost a lot harder so there's that. Though to be honest I expect the next election to have an even worse Republican campaign. Already have plans for booze and popcorn to watch the madness unfold.

Here's something I've been wondering. So everyone knows that conservatives like to claim that the more free market-y a country, the more prosperity exists, the more everyone as a whole is much happier. So where is there an example of this libertarian utopia? I was watching this interview with this awesome liberal billionaire (I forget his name) being one by that douchebag Peter Schiff, where Shchiff was whining about regulations and taxes and yadda yadda, and was threatening to move out of the U.S. The liberal dude astutely asked him where a libertarian like him would be moving to, which was hilarious because you could tell the gears were spinning in Schiff's head. Eventually after much ruminating and stuttering, he finally blurted out Hong Kong. Apparently, that was the best Schiff could come up with.

If right-wing economic theory is remotely true in any way shouldn't we have some gigantic superpower currently in place right now that's miles ahead of everyone else?

I've heard them say Singapore, which is hilarious because the government there is quite harsh in enforcing the status quo. It's a status quo meant to bring in the money, but s claim it is a free market is disingenuous.

Reminds me of when I went to my my mother-in-law's new husband, a coke-snorting libertarian engineer. At some point Brazil's recent wave of prosperity came up and he went all "See! That's called LIVING WITHIN YOUR MEANS. They're doing better than us because they don't go about making debt to help people."

I pointed out that the current government's policy is pretty much rooted in assistencialism, including straight giving off cash to poor people who keep their kids in school, and fostering enterprise via the federal bank loans and public-private partnerships. He retained none of it and let the matter drop.

Basically, any country that is doing well is only doing so because of the free market. I've had libertarians say to my face that Sweden and Denmark owe all their quality of life to capitalism.

There were consistently three or four campaign commercial every commercial break during prime time and my grandfather said he had never seen anything like it. I really hope McDaniel ends up losing either the primary or the general because everything that I have seen about him makes him out to be the biggest scumbag.

Yeah, the usual answers I hear tend to be either Hong Kong or Singapore, the latter being especially amusing because of what you noted.

I remember Heritage putting out some thing called their Freedom index report or some poo poo that measured how "free" a country is by of course, lack of regulation and taxes. The thing that was funny about it was that (and I don't know the exact names or numbers) the U.S. was 6th or 7th place (because of Obama's job killing policies), and was for some reason behind countries like Canada and 5 or 6 other social democracies.

Oh yeah, I remember those. They were endlessly entertaining. Whomever made them couldn't leave the western welfare-intensive nations too far down the list without risking looking silly ("Wait...if all these countries are totalitarian hellholes, why do they have such high life expectancy and quality of life?"), but they also could not let them climb too far up without sabotaging their own argument.

Last one I saw had Denmark as being 'freer' than the United States. So I guess all those conservative pols raging at Obama 'wanting to turn American into socialist Europe' were just sadly mistaken.

Hell, Brazil was at position 100, way behind the bastion of freedom that is Saudi loving Arabia. I think I laughed for a minute straight seeing that.
