The Babbling Brooks of the NYT Babbles about Nihilism with Innovative Socialist and Nihilist Overtones.  Raise Taxes!

 As we read the NYT—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1]-- we must be alert for new visions and slants on the political activities of our times. We must also be in a position to identify and highlight the brassy stoogery and pedestrian-level platitudes of the left as they festoon the written works of this paper.  Problems, nearly all, must be solved by government as we are always instructed that this is proper and fair and ‘democratic. ‘Always replete with noisy praise and grand salutations for some misguided person’s replastered precept of socialism or Marxism  that must be summarily incorporated into our society with great alacrity and song, we must follow the clarion calls, sound off to the alerts,  hear the trumpets ring and scrounge  for suitable social solutions for problems.  Taxes are the only way. Higher taxes can only heighten our glory as a nation in the views of the left. We are now instructed in the nostrum of some New Nihilism as nothing else has worked for the left so let us try that one.[2]

  Such comments and conclusions are supplied daily like chum to the fish by the New York Times.[3] There is always some pressing grave threat to society than can be handily solved with a good stiff tax increase. We are recurrently offered detailed analyses of: how we were steered into this swamp by capitalism, how the tax increase opportunity that will hoist us from the communal latrines, and, how we learn, anew, about the basics and root causes of our societal problems. Liberalism always provides a solution.  Capitalism and private property are always the culprits. Such is the mission and mantra of the Times and, today, our Babbling Brooks[4] comments on the urgent need to soak the taxpayers for faulty loans to mollify and stimulate the voting habits of deadbeats and losers and illegal aliens and the urgent reasons why we need to vote for Obama who will give us more of this. Let us all rush to Ohio and get wasted on drugs and sex and then vote in one day and crawl back to our home states. That works for the New York Times.

 Today Brooks gives us a history lesson:

 “In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt inherited an economic crisis. He understood that his first job was to restore confidence, to give people a sense that somebody was in charge, that something was going to be done.”[5]-- Revolt of the Nihilists By David Brooks Op-Ed [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]This link references all quotes in this essay unless otherwise stated.

 In 1929 FDR gave a speech on the stock market crash on TV and wowed the audience. This is also political history as we understand it from the Obama camp.[6] This, from Joe Biden swells us with confidence in his ability to redact history and relate the outcome to the current political scene.  We need to hear more from Joe Biden.[7] We need some of his authority.

 More:

 “This generation of political leaders is confronting a similar situation, and, so far, they have failed utterly and catastrophically to project any sense of authority, to give the world any reason to believe that this country is being governed. Instead, by rejecting the rescue package on Monday, they have made the psychological climate much worse.”

 The notion that there is no authority here is proof of the New Nihilism of the Left. Our phony government hangs on us for alms like some delirious chancre mechanic in a San Francisco alleyway. It is convenient to turn any nostrum to advantage in politics. We heard from Clinton that taxes would be ‘investments” too. This is actually an investment in failure and socialism if we look at other sectors of history and, in particular, at Fannie Mae like Jim Anderson[8] and his fellow money-grubbing parasites like Franklin Raines[9] with the ringing praise of Al Gore and his EcoNazis[10]. There was the place where any hint or attempt to “to project any sense of authority” went into the latrines. This was a crude grab of cash from the banks to pay off the low class for their votes with free housing. Socialism works in this limited sense.

 Rants frustra

 “Was the media darling Barney Frank too busy to notice the 95 Democrats who opposed his bill? Pelosi’s fiery speech at the crucial moment didn’t actually kill this bill, but did she have to act like a Democratic fund-raiser at the most important moment of her career?”

 Yes. The whole purpose of this mess is to blame Republicans for phony political economics where it says that you must give mortgages to deadbeats and illegal aliens and that the taxpayer must subsidize this political gift. We need to hear more from Barney Frank[11], Good Time Charlie Rangel[12], Dingy Hairy Reid[13] and Chris Dodd.[14] They are pillars of Reason and Integrity.

 “And let us recognize above all the 228 who voted no — the authors of this revolt of the nihilists. They showed the world how much they detest their own leaders and the collected expertise of the Treasury and Fed.”

 How many of these were in the Black Caucus Babbs? 21 members vote NO?[15] How does our Babbler explain the split? He works half a loaf and ignores the fact that dedicated Marxists and Supplicants for Reparations voted against this gem?

 Now we find the fulcrum of this crummy logic. If we do not fall face down in shame and ignominy and rush to soak the taxpayers for some phantasm then we must be ignoring reality. That makes sense for a frustrated liberal who thinks he might have once been a ‘conservative.’ Lets us all panic and throw our economy in the socialist toilet like the idiot Europeans have done. We can all wallow in failure and Sharia Law. Why not let the illegal aliens make the decision. They have been successful in the past in getting around government and taxes. Sounds like they can be trusted more than liberals or other mindless stooges who read the New York Times.

 “If this economy slides, they will go down in history as the Smoot-Hawleys of the 21st century.”

 Here begins the fatalistic version of the nihilism that our Babbler babbles about as he plays the ‘objective’ observer in this theatre. There is only one reason for an impending failure and we hear this all the time from the Phony Times and their socialist droolers.

 The solution, of course, and the only reason this guy has a job at the near-bankrupt New York Times is this in his own words: Big Government.

 “What we need in this situation is authority. Not heavy-handed government regulation, but the steady and powerful hand of some public institutions that can guard against the corrupting influences of sloppy money and then prevent destructive contagions when the credit dries up.”

 How about a War on Poverty? Or, how about a Social Security. We have a lot of faith in that one. That really worked out swell and we note that when Bush wanted to fix this time bomb—much bigger than Fannie or Frumpie Mollie, they said we ‘have plenty of time.” How about we set up some kind of New Fannie Mae to back up our mortgages and give us confidence in the housing markets? Why not double taxes on corporations and give us all a lift toward economic prosperity.

 The only credit that is drying up is the places where deadbeats get it for voting Democrats.  People have stopped lending to drug addicts and illegal aliens and deadbeats. Does Brooks know the stock market went up nearly 500 points yesterday. Maybe that was a sigh of relief as business missed, narrowly, another massive tax burden. Why is Asia up this morning?[16]

 “The Congressional plan was nobody’s darling, but it was an effort to assert some authority. “

 A mugger who has just bashed out the brains of some old lady for her welfare check fits this description as well. The idiot Europeans[17] know all about the ‘authority’ of their governments as the taxes soar, the price of gas rises and the Islamo-Fascists burn cars in the streets. We can all wonder if the crooks have a better plan for the economy than the New York Times and the leftist stooges who parade around talking about responsibility like Nancy Pelosi[18] and Barney Frank. Barney Frank is he darling of many. Al Capone and Big Bill Thompson ran Chicago better than the current parasites.[19]

 Obama is the most far-left politician every to run for office in this country.  A vote for this idiot is a vote for economic failure and that is exactly what the Times wants. They cannot compete with capitalism and private initiative and property must be controlled with sever taxes and ‘authority.’ We heard this crap from the Times since 1918.
