I love how the left proclaims that they are so erudite, well-informed and capable of making those hard decisions for everyone else in American. While those crazy radicals that believe in constitutional limits on government are back-woods hicks who should be lined up against a wall and shot for the revolution...

A shameful example of the woeful state of our education system in this country. But still funny as hell.

These are the same people who didn't get the irony of Jon Stewart preaching to them for three hours about how all media is evil...

Most of Americans are Rah-tarded.
Like the great philosopher George Carlin said, "When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat".

Sure....this from a guy that thinks "socialism" is just the government "setting standards" in the economy. Apparently Canadians are just as well educated as us rah-tarded 'mericans. :p

The majority of Americans tie themselves to one political group or another. Democrat? Republican? Sheep...

Those who vote for the party, and not for the candidate, are sheep.

Additionally, those who vote for a candidate because he makes you feel warm and fuzzy but doesn't know jack about squat are much more dangerous.

That's what makes it a Democracy, everyone gets a say no matter what, unfortunately that is likely the real majority. It ain't perfect, but it's what we lie, cheat, steal, fight and die for, we wouldn't have it any other way.

You do know that they edit the video to make the point you are making, right Shea? The folks who know what a Keynesian is and answer correctly don't get played. We have no idea how many that is. Unfortunately, extrapolating from the people I know, I would say it was probably 2 people total.

So the real question: is he a Keynesian? Cite specific examples. Two pages, single spaced, Times New Roman 12pt font. Discuss, if you can, Bensusan-Butt's contributions to Neo-Keynesian thought. (I just wanted to use Bensusan-Butt in a sentence. Who has a name like that?)

I thought he went to law school, not medical school.

I mean, isn't that what you need to be a Keynesiologist?

Of course it was edited. I doubt (and really hope) that ~200k people at that rally were THAT stupid. But it is much the same scenario with the left editing Tea Party events to make it seem like they are a bunch of racist, homophobic anarchists to pander to their base.

I would say that, yes he is a Keynesian (despite what his birth certificate says :)) and I don't really need two pages to present that argument, I can do it in one sentence. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Done :p

No, really, I put that whole question together JUST to use Bensusan-Butt in a sentence. For some reason that name just cracks me up. Get it? CRACKs me up? Get it?
