So apparently DiLorenzo’s The Real Lincoln has a part discussing railroad subsidies and cronyism, which I really want to read about. But I also don’t want to poke the Lincoln issue with a five foot pole

What? Why not?

I’m afraid I’ll be convinced and then say something in public criticizing Lincoln and then I’ll get the DiLorenzo treatment of saying I’m pro League of the South or whatnot.

Where can I find a good book or article aboutfixed/floating exchange rates from Austrian point ofview?

@Whelyous: Just read the ULC’s brag sheet… they are the single organization most responsible for regularization of State laws (always a preliminary step to federalization). Their reach is so extensive they brag that, day-to-day, you are constantly being affected by laws and regulations that the ULC helped put in place. They claim full credit for the Uniform Commercial Code.

…on that note, I’ll make your decision harder…

Noooooo!

Well, I have MES to read right now :stuck_out_tongue:

@Wheylous - I criticize Lincoln whenever he comes up, I seem to have memorized a list of his outrages. But then I’m not from the USA so people don’t care as much. Still, you really need to see just how bad he was.

@JJ - thanks for linking to that website - tons of works there.

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

Some highlights:

Better than Jesus.

The Gospel of Barack Hussein Obama According to Mark

God of all things

And here’s a lengthy quote:

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

Lawrence White for LearnLiberty:

Should we end the Fed?

(Note the upcoming videos. I’m kind of excited.)

LearnLiberty does its own version of the Bill Whittle/IowaHawk budget balance thing…

I like how you snuck in “join the Progressive Family on FB” in there.

I never knew Keynes was not straight! Not that it matters, but I read that and I was quite surprised. I had never heard of it.

Yeah, I remember reading in Keynes-Hayek (which, as a book, was okay) that even when he married, the girl he married (Lydia Lopokova) had masculine features.

Maybe they should put him on the 3 dollar bill.
