Once again the Independent Institute uncovers and exposes the lies and deceptions of government. The main thing most conservatives have to ask is, "why is the Republican party fully on board the socialist solution?" Why indeed?!! As Robert Higgs says so eloquently;
"The beauty of the Great Hoax of 2008, from the perspective of the ruling class, is that it was also a Great Scare, and such scares serve as the
pretexts for the rulers’ most audacious assaults on the peasants’ lives, liberties, and purses. You’d almost have to admire the elite’s ability to spook the rest of us into blind, unreasoning panic on such a flimsy basis, if it weren’t for the fact that after the episode has passed, we find ourselves enormously worse off, our economic prospects diminished greatly and our liberties throttled even more by an even bigger Leviathan, with nothing to show for it on the upside but the further enrichment of a handful of big bankers and other malefactors of great wealth."

Why are not the bobble heads on the right talking about it? Why, because they are economically illiterate and principleless. Decades ago both F.A. Hayek and Ayn Rand gave the diagnosis of stage 3 of conservatism's illness and they were completely ignored. Today the Republican party is on life support and dying and the only prescription is more of the red and pink poison that is killing it!
Near the end of the 19th century a Tory stood in the English parliament and proclaimed "We are all socialists now!" G.W. Bush has now done the same thing. The Titanic is heading from one iceberg to another with every would be captain advising her to steer headlong into the next one at full speed ahead!
Take back the party! Kick out all the elites! Remove from office every internationalist Repulican’t! The parties platform must be firm! Here is a start;
Eliminate;
1. The US Dept of Education
2. Remove the US from the UN and the UN from the US
3. Cut down all unnecessary government bureaucracies, cut Federal government by 10% a year for 5 years!
4. Bring all our boys home! There is no need for any military bases off our shores!
5. Withdraw from NATO
6. End foreign aide and payoff the US debt!
7. End the Federal reserve and have the US Treasury take over the financial concerns and needs of our nation! This would end the interest on the federal debt!
This is only a beginning but it needs to be done now! Save America by eliminating command and control politics and economics!
