Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.

Nigel Farage is a highly intelligent, well-spoken truth-teller who can speak WITHOUT a teleprompter. It is a combination rarely seen in a politician.
I can, however, understand how someone who has swallowed every inch of the lies of our government might not be able to accurately discern truth when he is seeing with his own eyes.

Hubris as the Evil Force in History
June 12, 2012 | Categories: Articles & Columns | Tags: hubris,
I have always been intrigued by the Battle of Bull Run, the opening battle of the US Civil War, known to southerners as the War of Northern Aggression. Extreme hubris characterized both sides, the North before the battle and the South afterwards.
Republican politicians and their ladies in their finery road out to Manassas, the Virginia town through which the stream, Bull Run, flowed, in carriages to watch the Union Army end the “Southern Rebellion” in one fell swoop. What they witnessed instead was the Union Army fleeing back to Washington with its tail between its legs. The flight of the northern troops promoted some southern wags to name the battle, the Battle of Yankee Run.
The outcome of the battle, left the South infected with the hubris that had so abruptly departed the North. The southerners concluded that they had nothing to fear from cowards who ran away from a fight. “We have nothing to worry about from them,” decided the South. It was precisely at this point that hubris defeated the South.

“Let me make it clear straight away – the lies, corruption, cowardice and greed of Spanish bankers and government officials is nothing special. What is happening in Spain now, reminds me of Northern Rock in the UK, Hypo in Germany and CountryWide in the US. So please do not think that I dislike Spain or of the ordinary people of Spain. The people I detest in Spain are the same people I detest in Britain and every country: The Cabal of corrupt Bankers and Political parasites.
Every country will have its moment in the spotlight. Italy is preparing in the wings as we speak. But today, on the Eurofiscal Corruption Contest, Spain is on stage.
It is the mantra of the main political parties and media across Europe, that the present crisis is the result of too many people taking on loans they could not afford. Neither the bankers nor the politicians, according to the accepted story, saw the crisis coming or could have seen it coming but have been engaged in heroic attempts to rescue us from a crisis of our own making. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
First, people did not ‘take’ loans they could not afford. The loans were ‘offered’ by bankers whose job it should have been to advise their clients on whether the loan was wise and sustainable. The bankers offered no such advice but instead pocketed the bonuses which came from selling as many loans as possible to all and sundry. So a more accurate summary of who is morally guilty, is that people accepted loans they should have known they would not be able to afford if ever the market turned down, but which were offered to them by professional bankers who assured them they would be fools not to get on the property ladder. Second, a vast number of the loans which have gone bad in Spain were not in fact ever made to ordinary people. They were made to developers and construction companies. It is those companies which have defaulted.
I am not saying ordinary citizens bear no responsibility. My concern is to stick a knife into the diseased carcass of Spanish Politics and bring to the surface the parasites who have gorged themselves on the flesh of Spain for decades and insist that their blame be recognized…”

I won’t dignify MP’s comment with a reply, err, wait…
MP must be a liberal, an athiest/humanist/whatever, or both, because his comment makes no rational sense, and is designed only to inflame.
We also call them trolls, and I suppose they do exist in the conservative camp, however, I would hazard to say there are far fewer of them in the Ron Paul and Libertarian camp, simply because true Liberals have too much respect for their fellow man and an implicit understanding that words are powerful and should not be strewn about like garbage.
Thanks, MP, for demonstrating your trollness. It was not a simple question, it was a belligerent lie. One can surmise your motives, but I won’t ask, because you’ll only continue lying, and I know who is the father of all lies.

If Magic Mongoloid hadn’t fallen asleep in history class he would know that excessive debt and government printing of marks in the 1920′s led to the desperation of the German people. This convinced them to turn to Hitler. So Magic is proposing the same solution for Europe again.
Stop back and ask a few more questions you mongoloid. Maybe we’ll learn you something.

Magic Pocketballs can’t drag himself away. He acts smug and superior as if he is above the fray. But, he keeps coming back and making inconsequential vapid posts that prove his weak minded drivel is all he has. Instead of making a case for his point of view, he just types out a few meaningless sentences that remove any doubt that he is nothing but a liberal dullard. Ideologues like Magic Wand have beliefs, but no facts. He is truly proof that our society has degraded over the decades.
Maybe he can offer some more pearls of wisdom about history rhyming. That was a good one. We already know he is incapable of putting forth his views on the European crisis.

“Magic pockets” is a well known trick used by pedophiles to lure unsuspecting children into reaching into the sick pervert’s pants. Only problem, the pockets are cut out, and the scumbag fuck has no underwear on. Then comes the “grab the magic snake” and “pet the magic snake”. The kid thought he was going to get some candy or something, and ends up scarred for life by the sick pervert shithead.

Wow. Effusive TBP love for Magic Pockets, who said, “I’m pretty sure this is how Hitler acted and spoke and finally managed to rally so many people behind him. Makes you wonder what side you’re on doesn’t it admin?”
You made a big mistake, Pockets, by playing the Hitler card on this site. Nigel Farange, a self-described libertarian, holds a political philosophy which is the direct antithesis of Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers Party. Farange has correctly predicted the European Union’s weaknesses and failures since 1999.
Then you challenged the Administrator to “wonder what side you’re on,” who in turn challenged you to explain your comments, particularly the European Union and its premier accomplishment, the Euro currency.
You need to skip the standard TBP animus and provide your insights, suggestions and recommendations to improve the EU. Farange says the EU and the Euro are, basically, a bucket of shit. You need to tell us why that isn’t so. Thanks.

Magic Pocketball is now doubling back and attempting to act like he’s smart. Not dumb like everyone says.
Let’s assess his wisdom. His original assanine comment has received 2 positive votes and 45 negative votes. This was before any ridicule was heaped upon him. His comment was overwhelmingly considered utterly ridiculous and based on a false understanding of German history.
Adolf Hitler was seen as a bad guy in the 1920s. Read some history Pocketballs. He was fucking thrown into prison for his attempted Putsch. Did you fall asleep in history class dude? The democratically elected German leaders knew he was a fascist and so did the German people.
They turned to him as a last straw because their economy was wrecked by hyperinflation and the depression that followed the mismanagement of their economy.
Your entire basis of argument is completely wrong. Ghandi was a charismatic leader. Martin Luther King was a charismatic leader. JFK was a charismatic leader. Your vapid, 3rd grade level analysis has added nothing to the debate.
It’s people like you with faux knowledge that allow politicians to bring our countries to this point.

Magic Pockets/Sweaty Magic Pockets said, “I was simply warning against lining up behind good orators who shout things that you believe in. Simple as (that) really. Went right over your heads.”
What? Are you serious?
Try this “critical thinking” (something you accuse us as not having) on for size. Many, if not most, regular visitors to TBP are Ron Paul supporters, including me. Now, if there is one candidate in this presidential race who is NOT a good, inspirational orator, it’s Dr. Paul. He doesn’t shout, he doesn’t pound the speaker’s podium, and he doesn’t animatedly prance around the stage to make his points. He delivers, rather blandly I might add, a staightforward message based on liberty, personal freedom, and personal responsibility.
Oh, and he doesn’t urge his supporters to KILL people that disagree with his politics, as you accuse us.
