The best distillation of ...

.
... Keynsian economic tomfoolery I've seen yet:

Actually, I could have written in in a single sentence: More public debt and more government spending is the solution to this economic depression because government spending is capable of creating the jobs necessary to produce economic growth, while the resulting public debt is not a problem because any country with its own central bank can issue an infinite amount of it without any long-term costs.

It's a shame that folks these days don't know what a scratched record sounds like ...

This is why ...

... I can no longer support (even pragmatically) the GOP:

 And now it is time for the Republicans to rethink their platform in order to attract new voters--or doom themselves to permanent minority status.

I think the obvious place to start is with immigration reform.  Increase the number of visas available.  Explore guest-worker programs.  Establish a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who were brought here as children and have never known any other home.

Republicans cannot nay, will not save us. It will be much better if they die, quickly, so that we might see if anything better replaces it. h/t Vox

... these life-forms are not reality based:

Among the commandments of life under the Obama administration: thou shalt not speak ill of Obamacare. Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter was hammered with Twitter abuse after informing shareholders and franchisees in August that implementing Obamacare would necessarily increase costs of running the business.

Ah, to live life in ignorance and complete faith in the righteousness of your cause ...

You know, I hear you ... Libertarians and other 3rd party types have no chance of winning. And yeah, I understand that this is the most important election evah!

But what you won't admit is that you could have put the names on the ballot in the last 20 years in place of Romney and Obama and made the exact same case as you do in your passionate video. The fact is, Republicans don't stand for limited government or personal freedom anymore (though they will hold the little folks personally accountable, just not those big banks ... or themselves).

What specific act has a Republican president committed that expanded personal freedom in the last 20 years. What specific act has a Republican president committed in the last 20 years that has reduced the size and scope of government?

I'm still waiting. How am I to then put any faith in your statement that next primary season you'll go as far as bringing down the Republican party if your (our) demands aren't met? How effective do you think that'll be?

The Republican party as it's presently constituted is Democrat-lite ... nothing more. I'll not vote for them if there's an option available.

I can't find a good quote from the article, and I'm not conversant enough about the issue to discuss, but read the whole thing. It may prove to be enlightening.

Keep in mind that I wouldn't put anything past Obama.
