YAL debate will be on CSPAN tonight at 7PM Jim Antle v Tim Cavanaugh v Bill Scher

[Lucille]

"You can't eat GDP." Tim, talking about price inflation.

"Neither party talks about this at all. The absolutely failure of Keynesian economics. The medicine is killing the patient."

That Scher sure has a punchable face, with his smug little grin. Now he's defending the bank bailouts.

Tim's winning this debate.

 

[Lucille]

Tim: Bigger is not always better. I might go back and say maybe the Constitution is the problem and we should go back to the Articles of Confederation.

Awesome.

Small is Beautiful!

Jim's late b/c he took public transportation, and the other two didn't. Heh.

 

[Lucille]

Tim is apologizing for his fellow Cosmotarians for not giving the Tea Party enough credit for opposing just govt spending.

Too bad it was usurped by the neocon establishment and it turned into a pro-war, anti-Obama, keep your govt hands off my Medicare group.

Jim, finally! He says he's become a radical anarchist after his travails over his escape from the burning DC Metro. LOL...

 

[Lucille]

Foreign policy question to the neocon in the blue jersey now. NDAA, Patriot Act... Maybe he'll tell him to "calm down."

He's denying Obama claimed the power to indefinitely to detain American citizens. Dude's clueless.

Scher: "Obama ended systematic torture. Period." Yes, he just sends in the drones and assassinates them now.

 

[Lucille]

NIce to have 2 non-interventionists against 1 interventionist for a change!

 

[Lucille]

Ron Paul!

 

[Lucille]

That's what I think too! Romney wins the popular vote and Obama the EC. And that it would be better for conservatives who care about civil liberties and the Pentagon budget of Obama wins.

 

[Lucille]

First question was about Obamney "slaying" people with drones.

Tim said "drone" is a hot topic and if you put it in your headline your hits increase by 50%. That's good news. He was followed by a helicopter one night while he was walking his daughter trying to get her to go to sleep*. It had the spotlight on him the whole time. He blew them kisses.

*He should try he vacuum! Worked for my colicky babies. Sometimes I just stood it up, turned it on and let it run.

They all agreed that it's not the drone technology that's the problem, but the "collateral damage."

I dunno. I've become a bit of a neo-Luddite since the surveillance state ramped up hard the last 10 years. Wendell Berry for President!

It was good! I missed the last 15 or so though. We won.

I would put my daughter in her car seat on top of the dryer while it ran. She'd calm down right away.

I'm a Wendell Berry fan too. I wish I'd seen this debate. I'll try and watch it later. Thanks for the running commentary.

 

[Lucille]

I hope someone uploaded it to youtube. I missed a lot. More than 15 min. I think.

It was funny to watch the prog defend the establishment's war on drugs, bank bailouts, kills lists, indefinite detention, endless war, etc.
