You Might Be A Liberal If... You Might Be A Liberal If You…

…think the government can spend its way out of debt.

…believe we need to fight big business with big government.

…claim not to be a socialist, but still want the government to regulate the economy.

…defend Obama by arguing "you only hate him because he's black!"

…criticize people who call Obama "Hitler," yet had no problem calling Bush "Hitler."

…worship wealthy celebrities who preach redistribution of wealth.

I'm Sick And Tired Note: Feel free to listen to Twisted Sister's "We're Not Going To Take It Anymore" while reading this screed, as it adds to the emotion.

In the immortal words of Howard Beale, I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. I'm sick and tired of…

Democrats who defend Obama with the race card. News flash: this is 2010, not 1910! Race has become irrelevant—or at least it should be. Yes, racism still exists, and racists hate Obama because he's black; but not everyone who hates Obama is a racist. Most Americans hate him, not because of his skin color, but because of his bad decisions, failed policies, and overall incompetence.

The pamphlet version of my Top 10 Economic Myths—Busted! essay.

Click here to download the PDF file. Requires an inkjet printer to print. For printing instruction, check your printer’s instruction manual.

Feel free to print a few copies and share them with others. Offer them to family, friends, and colleagues—especially those with socialist or Keynesian tendencies. Leave them in public places such as restrooms, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, or wherever. If you’re able, pass them out to protesters at your local Occupy Wall Street protest. Remember, the more people we can inform and the more minds we can change, the sooner we can fix the economy with real solutions, and a better place the world will be

I think you're looking in the wrong place. Everyone keeps arguing over the political and economic structure, but fails to look at the source of the problem. Your currency is fiat, it's not backed on anything other than a promise to pay, this means that debt and inflation WILL happen, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Even if you back money on gold and silver, while this fixes debt and inflation, you are then restricted by the availability of gold and silver. Currency is a problem that is very difficult to make right.

Indeed. That is the main crux of our current economic problems. Why are gas prices high? Why are so many students straddled with debt? Why are there so few jobs? Why have banks foreclosed on their mortgages? Simple: our dollar has been devalued. The less it’s worth, the more you have to pay for things. We need to fix our money, and that involves fixing the Fed (or rather, ending it!)

The problem is how to fix money. Money has to be worth something, and what do you base it on? Everytime you trade with another country you create debt and inflation unless the transaction is 50/50 exactly (which would be extremely hard to regulate and impracticable). The issue of money is extremely difficult to work with. Your federal reserve is not a very good system, I agree.

It's always the same story. People bleat about TEH EVIL deregulation that caused the mess. I ask them simple questions like "Can you name me one regulation that was removed from the books that would have stopped the housing crisis?" and they won't answer. I could threaten them at gun point and they would refuse to answer.

And yet they call me close minded for not taking them at their word. Can you say narcisists?

Indeed. The pages in the Federal Register keep expanding, and apparently, so does the myth of deregulation.

Well, there is the odd one who does try to answer. Goes something like this...

Me: So can you name me one regulation that was removed from the books that caused the housing crisis?

Statist: Fannie and Freddie were allowed to create unsustainable bubbles.

Me: Fannie and Freddie are state owned and operated.

Statist: The banks were bailed out

Me: That's not deregulation.

Statist: ...

Me: Besides, I thought your argument was that LACK of state intervention was the problem. Maybe you should ask yourself how you could possibly be so sure that deregulation was the problem if you don't even know WHAT was deregulated.

They usually resort to name calling after that.

Bill Maher vs. Common Sense Bill Maher has declared that the Republican Party is at war with common sense. "I think Republicans live in a world now where whatever a liberal says, no matter how sensible, is automatically evil, wrong, and needs to be fought with the fervor of a starving raccoon on crystal meth," he said during a recent New Rules segment on his HBO show Real Time.

You know what's the worst part about Bill Maher?

It's not that he bashes Republicans. They have been wrong on many issues (Patriot Act, WMDs, waterboarding, oil subsidies) and Maher is perfectly justified in bashing them because of it—though to him, Republicans are always wrong and liberalBill Maher vs. Common Sense by ~BlameThe1st
Arguing With Idiots We all have our addictions. For some, it's smoking. For others, it's drinking. And for many others, it's porn. For me, it's arguing on the internet—the most fruitless endeavor since Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill.

I don't know what compels me to argue. I guess it's this naive notion that, if you encounter someone with an incorrect belief and you provide them logic, reason, and evidence to the contrary, that they will abandon their belief. If that were the case, the world wouldn't be plagued with birthers, truthers, anti-vaccers, Keynesians, and other idiots with blatantly incorrect beliefs.
