Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Heroic Hallelujah
Hallelujah

What a heroic day! The people rose up against a coalition of every evil group in America: the central bank, Wall Street plutocrats, politicians, banksters, think tanks (including the pseudo-libertarian sort), big media, big academia, and big business, and won. Today we got a taste of what things may look like when the regime is finally toppled, and its theft and killing stopped. The Austrian economists are vindicated again, as is Rothbard’s political analysis, and our pizza party for Mises’s birthday today look on an especially festive air. The bad guys may yet beat us, but how sweet to see the CNBC types running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Now let’s get to work to defend the free market and sound money, and finger the Fed and all who support it as the culprits. Oh, and by the way, congratulations, Ron Paul.
only days later, the obvious has been provided enough cover (i.e., loud displays of hand wringing) for execution.
better advice than lew rockwell’s: begin practicing peaceful eugenics. i would add that you should go to mises.org and read sean corrigan’s blog post from the day after lew’s LRC premature ejaculation, but — whadya fawkin know — not there anymore! shocker. [update: was restored days later after loafer-boy tuckman apparently had a come-to-jesus moment confronting his pussified sweep of the "editor" control.] can still be read word for word here though. (for damned good reason it was not truncated with a continuation link to the original site.) thanks to Brian N., who emailed me of the post’s disappearance. more on this later, of course, but as my preacher dad used to sign off, “goodnight, god bless you, and maranatha!” (or something)
nah, not good enough. maybe the 29 sept 2008 version of stephen carson has the stuff:
A Crucial Lesson of the Bailout Victory
Posted by Stephen Carson at September 29, 2008 05:08 PM
I was reading Glenn Greenwald‘s gloomy assessment of the prospect that the bailout would get passed despite everyone’s objections and it made me think that there is a crucial lesson of this wonderful development that should not be missed.
As Murray Rothbard, JRR Tolkien, the Bible and so many others have counseled: Do not give in to despair!
Among other important reasons is that you might just win despite seemingly insurmountable odds. But if you don’t even try there really is no hope.
go and sin no more! and remember, “try” means “operate through the state”. [insert bullshit latin signoff to be ignored.]
