"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"...Daily Bell: What's going on with the debt ceiling? How can that issue be put aside once and for all?
Andy Hoffman: It can't. Fiat currency is a PONZI SCHEME by definition; thus, debt MUST grow exponentially to keep it going. The US MUST raise the debt ceiling infinitely (which will eventually yield the collapse in CONFIDENCE noted above)..."
Read about it (in today's Daily Bell):

("...and the people said, "give us a king like the other nations...") = Sam's addition (to an entry over at Hale Bobb).
The enormity of the truth is incredible
"The enormity of the truth is incredible" ~ Samarami
"All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true within itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation." ~ Attributed to Adolf Hitler, in James Murphy's translation of Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X
Quotation by Suverans2 (speaking of "the broad masses of a nation"):
"...It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously..."
Good quotation!
Delmar England phrases it this way:
"...The prevailing (global) philosophy is saturated with popular fallacies so large in scope, so varied in surface type, so nearly universally accepted, they emotionally appear as unquestionable truth, as absolutes without alternative and not to be questioned. This is the atmosphere into which you were born and now live..."
Does anybody here wonder why there are so few of us?
Sam
No, but I do wonder why we feel the "fewness", so strongly, here. ;)
Sam,
With all your years of experiance you have come to know that a few, well choosen words crafted together and used at the right time and right place you can move a mountain.
Matt Kibbe:
My organization, FreedomWorks, will be activating its membership of over 2 million Americans to go to www.DCDoYourJob.com to urge their Congressmen and Senators to hold the line against more spending and debt.
Our message to the politicians in Washington D.C. is simple: No budget plan, no debt hike. No more debt, until you do your jobs.
Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!
Dream on, Mr. Kibbe. And don't forget to get out the vote.
Sam
Just signed in butI believe I am already a member.
