Keynsian – Keynesian economics (pronounced /?ke?nzi?n/, also called Keynesianism and Keynesian theory) is a macroeconomictheory based on the ideas of 20th century British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynesian economics argues that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes and therefore advocates active policy responses by thepublic sector, including monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government to stabilize output over the business cycle.

Marco Rubio gets it.
…we make a grave mistake if we believe that tonight these results are somehow an embrace of the Republican party…
Gold star.
The whole speech:
A Warning

Dear Republicans, new and old:
Should you believe, once this heady time of ”we the people” is past, that you may continue your ruinous and rapacious ways, we here at Simon Jester – and indeed, all across the country – would advise you to think again.
No more “stimulus” that stimulates exactly nothing.
No more government “support” of private industry.
No more pushing through legislation that you freely admit you did not read.
No. More.
Either act like adults charged with the responsible management of this country, instead of drunken teenagers with mom’s credit card, or we will un-elect you at the first opportunity.
Have a nice day.
Do As I Say, Not As I Do

The arrogance on display is simply jaw-dropping.
President Obama, speaking at a rally in Philadelphia, said “the American people deserve to know who is trying to sway their elections” and raised the possibility that foreigners could be funding his opponents.
“You don’t know,” Obama said at the rally for Senate candidate Joe Sestak and other Democrats. “It could be the oil industry. It could even be foreign-owned corporations. You don’t know because they don’t have to disclose.”
Not to mention the utter hypocrisy… Remember this?
Plus, from the Washington Post: Obama Accepting Untraceable Donations. “Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor’s identity, campaign officials confirmed. Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged.”
More here. “Then there’s the question of whether foreign nationals are contributing to the Obama campaign. There is more than enough evidence to warrant a full-scale investigation by the Federal Election Commission, including the $32,332.19 that appears to have come from two brothers living in a Hamas-controlled Palestinian refugee camp in Rafah, GA (that’s Gaza, not Georgia). The brothers’ cash is part of a flood of illegal foreign contributions accepted by the Obama campaign.”
Of course you don’t. Oh, and it’s obviously Bush’s fault.
“Tell the Bush crowd and the Chamber of Commerce: Stop stealing our democracy,” the ad says.

I’m confident we all fully understand that the message intended by the ecothugs is “you’re killing your own children, and future generations, by not conserving/reducing/recyling/whatever today.” It’s not rocket science. But whatever the intention, the heavy-handedness with which the message is delivered also obliterates it. You show me an exploding child, or a little girl with a noose around her neck, and you expect me to listen to ANYTHING you have to say?
Good luck with that.
Here is George Carlin with a little perspective for you ecotheist morons:
Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood? The Feds.

According to this article from Human Events, the governors of western states have quite a dilemma on their hands. Most of the land in their states is owned by the Federal Government.
Washington, D.C. already lords over some 650 million acres, or 29 percent of America’s land. The federal government owns 45.3 percent of California, 48 percent of Arizona, 57.45 percent of Utah, 69 percent of Alaska, and 84.5 percent of Nevada. No state from the Rockies west is less than 30 percent federal, as are Montana and Washington.
I know the Civil War changed a lot of things, but the land grab of the western states to be held in trust or reserve or whatever just doesn’t sit well with me. Who is the Fed to say that they can manage this land better than the states in whose territory the land exists? I beg the next Congress to stop spending shit-tons of money maintaining this land and return it to its respective state. You are not in the real estate business. In fact (not to get me off on a rant here), you really should only be in the national defense business.
Oh, and we have borders, too. Go over there and stop Mexican drug cartels from invading and shooting American citizens on our territorial waters.
