People can easily be persuaded to accept the most inferior ideas or useless products; attributed to H. L. Mencken.

Barnum said something about a sucker being born every minute. But… ain’t it all the truth.

He has written investing books and reports promoted by various rightwing “hard money” flacks. Got his start around the time Howard Ruff was riding high hustling gold as the end-all investment.

His father was an FBI guy who made a few bucks in his retirement years chasing commies and writing books the John Birch Society promoted along with other righty groups of the 60s and 70s.

The entire Skousen clan is living proof that if freedom can be saved it can be saved at a profit.

C’mon, DJIA! Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

(Howbeit by way of “front” companies, lest any suspicions be aroused in Certain Suspicious Circles.)

And as if that weren’t bad enough … it seems as if His Fraudulency may be secretly targeting the working poor and those employed via targeted jobs-assistance schemes as among the first to be subject to denationalised State Social Security.

Why, you may ask?

Conservative Zealots and True Believers are bound to invoke the inevitable arguments about the Lower Classes “being in clear need for empowerment towards greater self-reliance and personal responsibility***after years of chronic and helpless dependency on failed and failing State systems of welfare and Social Security.”

Yeah, right….

His unremarkable discovery of the obvious, “power easily corrupts people” is matched only by these earth-shattering analyses: not all white people are in the KKK, but all members of the KKK are white.

Also, all homosexuals are not pedophiles, but some homosexuals (read most) are pedophiles. Your higher education, or rather, the waste of the government’s money on trying to educate you, did prove to be irrelevant and meaningless. If, in fact, you managed to graduate high school. And if you did, I’m sure it was subsidized by the state, not as a sholarship for academic excellence, but financial aid to the general population, in a failed attempt by the “welfare state” to counter the ignorance and prejudice you happily retain and share with us daily at this site.

You do so because you are still too ignorant to know any better. Along with your “faux folksy manner” and “aryan american anecdotes” you are an excellent argument for means testing of some type when it comes to government handouts in the area of education. A college education is wasted on some, and clearly, in this country of vast opportunity provided by the “evil state” even the corrupt and ignorant, like you and your average politician can be financially successful without it.

Oh yeah….Buckshot pines for the good ‘ole days of the Triangle Shirt Waist fire, the Ludlow massacre, etc.

Yeah right, Buckshit….businesses never harm people. Only unions do. Perhaps you’d enjoe working for Nike at one of their fine facilities in Thailand or China?

I really wish there was a benevolent god, because he (she) would most certainly do us all a favor and stike down the mindless idiots like you.

Strike four.

Similarly, your comment on gays, pedophiles, & heterosexuals is irrelevant and confused. You missed the point again.

With two strikes against you, your third comment regarding my education (or lack therof) is meaningless.

Strike three.
