"Stupid wingnut says something stupid" thread

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So, Niall Ferguson has been saying, essentially, that Keynes was in favour of deficit spending because he was a homo:

Speaking in front of about 500 financial advisers at a conference in Carlsbad, California, Financial Adviser's Tom Kostigen reported Ferguson said Keynes was "effete" and liked reading "poetry" to his ballerina wife. He also didn't care about future members of society because he didn't have any children. And these facts, therefore, discredited his economic theories.

What is most amusing, however, is this part:

"Ferguson responded to a question about Keynes' famous philosophy of self-interest versus the economic philosophy of Edmund Burke, who believed there was a social contract among the living, as well as the dead."

That would be the Edmund Burke who only had one more child than Keynes, then?  And who said this?

This desire of accumulation is a principle without which the means of their service to the State could not exist. The love of lucre, though sometimes carried to a ridiculous, sometimes to a vicious excess, is the grand cause of prosperity to all States. In this natural, this reasonable, this powerful, this prolific principle, it is for the satirist to expose the ridiculous; it is for the moralist to censure the vicious; it is for the sympathetick heart to reprobate the hard and cruel; it is for the Judge to animadvert on the fraud, the extortion, and the oppression: but it is for the Statesman to employ it as he finds it; with all it's concomitant excellencies, with all it's imperfections on it's head.

Remember, this is a Harvard professor whose specialist subject is...economic history.   

Tha fuck?

So some wingnut just made a speech not very long ago which said:

Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination....If you stay hungry, if you keep hustling, if you keep on your grind and get other folks to do the same — nobody can stop you.

When you're making a speech to the right of Lyndon B Johnson, then you can fairly be called a wingnut.

I was wondering exactly where the line was between war-mongering conservative asshole crook Texan and wingnut. Thanks.

When I took human sexuality, our prof indicated that the BDSM and swinger's communities were majority Republican voters...from what I've seen, probably true.
