A bigger problem is not laziness but that there are only 24 hours in a day and a declining standard of living.

How did FDR bailout the bankers?  What specific policy are you talking about?

That's what Max says in the video.  Didn't you even watch it?

(notice the intellectual laziness involved in dodging this question)

Of course, when someone isn't intellectually lazy I'm stunned by it.

Ah, glad Max Keiser is finally seeing the light about the Libertarians.

 Cool


Wow, I like this guy.


"If you thought your second amendment rights were to protect from tyranny you're wrong.  If this were the case you would have already acted."

Yeah.  I often think some of the framers would be disappointed in our collective inaction.

Oh, I wouldn't call it lazy. He works very hard to dodge questions he doesn't want to answer. The mental acrobatics are Gold medal material.

He spoke at the bitcoin conference in Prague (mainly about himself and his crowd-funding-site piratemyfilm.com, which uses bitcoin for funding movie- and other projects). He has mentioned bitcoin as the "currency of the resistance" in his "Keiser Report" in april or may 2011 and interviewed Rick Falkvinge about Bitcoin very early (also in Keiser Report).

He has clearly promoted bitcoin and still said he would be "using his media leverage to help tony (bitpay) reach the goal of 1 million new bitcoin users in 2012" (I'm assuming this will fail, but nevertheless, he's a bitcoiner of sorts and one that reaches quite an audience.

Should we care if he denounces libertarians? I'm not sure... will watch the vid now.

Bitcoin's community is not entirely libertarians. Rejecting him because he criticized them is unfair and unnecessarily disopen and elitist. Our goal is Bitcoin adoption, not production of copious praise for libertarians.

Wow, someone with an adult mind.  I'm at a loss for words.

Yes, Libertarians demonize FDR because we demonize both sides of the contrived political spectrum.  FDR bailed out the bankers, just like Obama and Bush bailed out the bankers.  Somehow the takeaway from this is that Libertarians are idiots for being the only ones who propose an alternative.

Statalists are much smarter instead (provided that they are on the state's payroll).
I for me, am too old to believe in Santa-state.

BTW: That bozo is even always rambling about the anthropogenic global warming hoax that he still believes in, like he were a climatologist.
Puh-leaaaze.
  

Always this obsession about personalities and hero-worship that is so prevalent around here.

This pic made me lul though.

And I guess since this episode is about killing bankers, as usual, the argument is that Libertarians aren't bloodthirsty enough...

I watched up to the quote, and a little beyond, he's talking about how libertarians demonize FDR. Rant looks rehearsed, IMO.

I didn't click the link in the original post, but feel free to debate me anytime on climate change. Forum posts or PMs. Your call.
