What infuriates me most is that, like almost everyone else, the article falls back on the "undemocratic" meme. It says that Ron Paul argues that the fed is "undemocratic." Never in my years listening to Ron Paul have I heard him say that, and I know he would not say it.

The "undemocratic" meme is so pervasive that almost every textbook we read from the "experts" in my college senior seminar worshipped democracy and questioned the Constitution's roots in democratic thought. I brought this up time and time again. We discussed the difference between a democracy and a Republic, but still we only read authors that pushed for democracy and still people referred to the American system of government as a "Democratic Republic", the most hideous amalgamation of competing ideologies that I have ever heard of.

Democracy is not the freaking gold standard of government. Even in a class where we were supposed to know that our form of government was not supposed to be a democracy, we acted as though it should have been and was created to achieve that purpose. It never was, and yet we still strive for "democracy." It's the most sickening form of propaganda because it's been around so long and is so deeply ingrained that even when it is demonstrably contradicting the founders' intentions, our professors had the audacity to continue the propaganda.

This entire article purposefully skews the underlying facts. This is all you really need to know about that article, as the rest is largely bunkum and little else:

Article by: ARTHUR J. ROLNICK

Arthur J. Rolnick ... He was formerly senior vice president for research at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank.

The locals don't call it the "Red Star Tribune" for nothing. :rolleyes:
