Obama's New Deal v. the US economy
http://brookesnews.com/081011obamauseconomy.html

Just as I predicted, the US economy is in another recession. And what does Team Obama intend to do about it? The same things that Roosevelt did. And informed people know just how well that worked. The man will be an economic disaster if he implements his economic program

Why Keynes is not the answer to the financial crisis
http://brookesnews.com/081011keynesianism.html

We find it extraordinary to suggest that Keynes’ ideas are now coming back to save the world. Keynesian ideas have never left the rooms of government and central bank decision makers. The essence of the thinking of the most influential economists was and still is Keynesian

Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was a celebration of misery, class warfare, dependence, group and individual entitlements, and a deep animosity toward those who are productive. And Obama prevailed in this post-modern America

Obama to shut down talkback radio? The right To remain silent
http://brookesnews.com/081011obamafreespeech.html

Obama's thugocracy is already moving to destroy conservative talkback radio. No doubt they will have the full support of America's viciously corrupt 'mainstream media', not to mention a horde of leftwing foreign 'journalists'

Miracles of the Obamaic faith
http://brookesnews.com/081011obamaicfaith.html

What Obama says does not make sense. His speeches, when not totally devoid of content, unceremoniously contradict themselves — and that is exactly why they work so well. Their content has no importance at all.
