    Your first two sentences are pure speculation with absolutely no factual data to support them. Your last comment is just pure bullshit. But you already know that.

    Now he’s praising the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909? I wonder if he knows that Sen. Nelson W. Aldrich was the very guy who organized the covert meeting on Jekyll Island that gave birth to the Federal Reserve Act? But I’m sur Aldrich had nothing but the best interests of the average American in mind when he helped craft that tariff act. Certainly there couldn’t have been any other motive from a stand-up guy like Aldrich, right? ETA: Aldrich was, in fact, the father in law of old John D. Rockefeller himself. Future vice president Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, his grandson, was actually named after him. At the time Aldrich was well known as a “Rockefeller man” in congress. He represented not his actual constituents but the Rockefeller financial empire. IIRC his reputation among real conservatives and liberty loving Americans was so bad that his involvement with the Federal Reserve Act had to be carefully concealed lest that revelation doom the bill’s chances. As I recall, he even pretended to oppose the bill in a successful effort to dupe enough Americans to go along with it to get it passed. He was a globalist, progressive scumbag and NOTHING he was ever involved in, including the tariff act bearing his name, was good for America or its people.

    At best he’ll start quoting from Ian Fletcher’s book about how great tariffs are and how horrible free trade is. What he WON’T tell you is that Fletcher is actually on the board of a group called the Coalition For A Prosperous America, a lobbying group for a bunch of rent seeking corporations and industries seeking to enrich themselves unjustly at the expense of American consumers through tariffs and trade restrictions. Fletcher is nothing but a shill lobbyist and his book is just pro-protectionist propaganda. But you didn’t really expect any better, did you?

    A civil and adult conversation tends to avoid a paternalistic tone. Try to tell me that you've never once in your life bridled at such an elementary suggestion and I'll happily call you a liar. The funny thing is, you've participated in the thread. You've critiqued my own answers to that question you think I haven't asked. You know I've asked myself that question. Have for months. As we age and our memories get weaker, it's wise of us to pause and consider that we can no longer be certain people haven't already tried our suggestions -- and we already know they have (at least on a good day). They call things like that aging gracefully. And such habits make all conversation more civil. Some consider it the very difference between conversing with and preaching at.

    I'd rather ask what makes you presume I haven't. Especially when I have a multiple page thread full of my speculation on that very subject on this very site. What's more, I think mine makes more sense. It's based on historical precedent -- a number of them, but particularly the Biennio Rosso, which brought Mussolini to power.

    Oh, on his "...if you suspend the Constitution and appoint Me Dictator For Life" agenda. Forty More Years! Remember, before he does anything else he's got to build the FBI a yuge, beeautyful new palace before they try to shoot him again! That'll probably eat up the entirety of his first Next Four Years all by itself. I mean, we already know he will screw us all to save his own hide. SS already told us about several instances where he already did. We're going to be hearing a lot more, "The Prime Alpha Male had to do that because he was afeared of Hitlery's Suicide Squad!!" out of the Trumpscuse Brigade before we're through.

    Please spare me your bullshit straw manning. My commentscwere a direct counterpoint to TheTexan advocating actual isolationism, nothing more. And also please spare us the bullshit lie that tariffs are the causitive agent behind American prosperity, and that free trade destroyed it. Only people naive enough to belive that protectionist shill Ian Fletcher fall for that crap.

    Not to mention the fact that isolationist societies throughout history have almost always been backward, stagnant societies that usually suffered under some form of brutal, feudal dictatorships. It’s only been after they’ve abandoned their foolish isolationism that they were able to move in the direction of greater freedom and prosperity, although there are certainly no guarantees that the will/would.

    Since when is the "We got a badass over here" meme "gay"? It's been all over the interwebz for many moons and it's used by all sorts of folks. There are several samples in the various "bestest picture thread evarrr"-s.
  8. The reason I have no use for monarchies is it's complete pot luck what you get. If your generation gets a Victoria, you could be in worse shape (assuming her advisors aren't lying to her about what they're doing), but if you get an Ivan the Terrible you're screwed. I prefer a system that at least holds out hope for nonviolent revolution, whether people are generally smart enough to use it or not.

    And I'm pretty sure you meant neither Bismarck nor the kaiser.

    Chancellor von Bismarck
    President von Hindenburg

    You're right, I should have said the Kaiser, not Bismarck. :/ (My WWI history is rather rusty...I do remember Hitler suffered from mustard gas inhalation during that war and a bunch of other factoids) Yeah, monarchs have been somewhat fascist in certain occasions, but they always had incentive not to destroy their subjects' economy or their own respective societies as presidents and prime ministers or even legislators do. (such elected officials almost always leave office very wealthy and almost never face justice for their misdeeds) Generally speaking, the best to worst scale goes- voluntary association with government>hereditary monarchy>monarchy>classical republicanism>modern constitutionalism>democracy etc.

What has it to do with politics? Everything. Politicians piss us off, then try to misdirect our anger 'across the aisle' to people who are fundamentally exactly the same, but wear a different party label. The game is age old, but still works.

People are angry, but they are often in denial about it. They know they're angry, but they don't want to admit they're angry
