Yikes!!!


I do not know who is going to end up ruling us, but these world governments are taking a nasty turn...

*****
G20 leaders and ministers sat down to hammer out new rules for world financial markets today after a warning from France and Germany that a London summit should declare an end to the unfettered capitalism that has plunged the global economy into recession. (G20 leaders begin talks to 'bury' free market, 4/2/2009)

What frustrates and angers me most is the willing complicity of Big Media to report such nonsense with no critical analysis at all. I dare any of them to find "unfettered" capitalism anywhere, especially in these nations blaming free markets for their economic woes. It is government interference in the free market that has created these woes. A free market would never condone the poor business decisions that politicians have imposed upon businesses over the past few years.

Well, as if this is not silly enough, take a look at the type of folks who are demanding the demise of capitalism...

*****
Police officers came under attack while they tried to help a dying man at the G20 protests in the City last night. (Police were attacked... 4/2/2009)
*****

What idiots - both inside & outside the meeting.

Chuck,

Yikes... it all scares the heck out of me.

These idiots think capitalism is the source of our problems? It's capitalism that pays the bills for all of their socialist nonsense. It's the producers and the risk-takers that keep our heads above the socialist waters that threaten to drown us all.

Have you read Atlas Shrugged? The capitalist system may grow weary of swimming against the current of today's popular stupidity... When the capitalists give up or are frustrated into oblivion, we will be left with the economic system of the old Soviet Union... And we know how well that worked.

I am astounded that informed journalists refuse to be unbiased socialists. What do they think happens to a free press in a collectivist state?

Amazing.

Yep, it scares the heck out of me, too.

Chuck,

"...informed journalists..." Isn't that an oxymoron with these guys?

I guess intentionally uninformed is the reality.
