“You can’t accuse the chairman of the Federal Reserve of being a traitor to his country, of being guilty of treason,”

Um, actually, yes, you can. Arguably, ‘quantitative easing’ is treason when the people’s money is embezzeled and handed to an international few.

It’s more hip to call your enemies ‘terrorists’ in these seeming end times for the Republic. So Bernanke would more appropriately be classed as a ‘financial terrorist’ relative to destroying the value the USD along with our capital markets. QE3 anyone…? / : |

You must be a red neck if you call your enemies treasonists.

The American electorate already elected one Texas Cowboy for President….twice. And we all know where THAT little mistake did for our country’s reputation around the world.

Why, then, are we even THINKING about doing it yet again?

Yeah, unfortunately he is. But all that means is he’s a savvy politician.

Bashed for anti-Keynesianism? Just goes to show the ubiquitous spread of idiocy all around.

While I don’t much like him, Perry is essentially correct on this one.

“…Perry’s claim that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is “treasonous.” …extract from article

It reads as if Governor Perry would fit well posting on CHB. : ))

Comments on Governor Rick Perry

He is being compared to a swaggering Texan in the mode of “Duke” Wayne. Let me explain why this annoys me…… I knew the Duke and in his wildest sprees would he ever have allowed an insult made on any standing President. He loved America with a passion that came through in every role he ever played. He was the epitome of American standards whether in war or fighting for his land in the west. So in my book Perry insults the reputation of our Duke Wayne.

I see more of Burt Lancaster in his role of Elmer Gantry with swaggering his manhood in front of his revival audience to the point of sexual madness.

But, Rick Perry will never earn a star on Hollywood Boulevard for his trying to act the part of leadership trying to face a failing American white house. He looks more like Jerry Lewis in a comedy role.
