Is the Republican Conservative Party dead?




Among Crapaud's favorite quirky commentors are twin brothers J.F.P.D. Malin and J.E.P.D Malin who reside in south Louisiana and have been jointly writing sharp criticism and commentary for several years in local newspapers.

With the collapse of more than six trillion dollars of wealth in this society, the criminal business enterprise of the so-called "Conservative" Republican party has lost favor with the American people.

It took this dramatic loss of wealth to awake the American people to the fraud of the last forty years. The question we should ask is, Why did it take so long?

The Republican party was built on ignorance of science, hatred of women, gays and Blacks, and religious dupery (Baptist & Roman Catholic, essentially). It became the party of fools, outlaws and common criminals (who love guns and shooting human beings). It was fed by nasty corporate commercial interests; essentially, the oil & gas industry. Naturally, it is the new form of the KKK.

We remember when the Republican Party was honorable and dignified, and highly intellectual. It was not ideologically driven. The party cannot redeem itself. It should die. A new party based on the newer constitutional needs of the 21st century should take its place.

Special Tip of the Hat to My Friend Joey

My Friend, Joey, says that Milton Friedman, in his view, is still the foremost economist of our times.

I respectfully and vehemently disagree. Keynesian economics are being proven correct everyday, and adapting those principles to the current world-wide meltdown is the only hope we have.

I know for certain nothing good has come of the unbridled greed Milton Friedman and his disciples unleashed on the world. Google Pinochet and The Chicago School of Economics. Read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine, which details the worldwide effects of violent "revolutions" launched by Friedman's minions--with the ardent cheerleading of most every neo conservative voice in America in the past 40 years.

The 20+ year old clip of Friedman appearing on Phil Donahue's show (below) merely underscores the utter folly of following the economic philosophy of the greed-driven egomaniac Friedman. He snidely and condescendingly touts GREED to Donahue as though it is intrinsically good, using only "everybody does it" as a rationale.

Its very possible to be a traditonal fiscal, economic and monetary conservative without channelling Friendman's rapacious greed.

Thanks for sending the clip, Joey. It illustrates well why American hegemony is decried all over the civilized world.
