Better late than never

Thank you for exposing these Caesarists that want to "unite" Republicans by writing off any criticism. Nihil Novum.

L.W.M.'s "mainstream neoclassical economists" (???!!!), your time is UP.

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."(Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan)

"What can be said about Mr. Paul is that he's not only ahead of Mr. Bernanke but also of his fellow Republicans, and he will eat into their standing until they address the question of the soundness of our currency." (New York Sun Editorial November 12, 2007)

Original article: Ron Paul is a baby elephant

Nofziger was quoting Jefferson

-Jefferson said it best: "The tree of Liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-

(Lyn Nofziger)

The evident fact that Nofziger was quoting Jefferson seems beyond the comprehension of pseudo-intellectuals foaming with anger.

Jefferson's quote is documented:

1787 Nov. 13.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure."

(Thomas Jefferson to W. S. Smith, B.12.356)
