Below is what far-Left economist Paul Krugman recently wrote on the NYT. I frankly can't make head or tail of what he is driving at. Only the hate of conservatives comes through
Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued? Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd.
What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?
The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.

What did Krugman think Americans should have done in response to 9/11? Shout "Allah Akhbar"? A writer here thinks Krugman is insane. Insane with hate, I would say.
Nobel Prizes

Yes, because the Nobel prize is only given to DESERVING people, right?
ReplyDeleteExcept... Obama got one. And that guy's a tool...
Gore got a PEACE prize for an alleged work of science
ReplyDeleteThat rather speaks for itself
Yasser Arafat got one too
At any event, mention of Krugman's attainments is an argumentum ad hominem -- which has no scholarly worth at all
