By Greg Barns and Daniel Liptak, published 6/2/2009

One should always beware of leaders like Rudd who use their position to behave as some sort of saviour.

And this is supposed to be what passes for an "intelligent" critique of Kevin Rudd and his ideas and policies. And an assessment of the state of the Australia and the world altogether too.

Anyone who thinks that capitalism, especially as it has been brought to one and all by the deregulating Friedmanite/Hayekian neo-pyschopaths should spend some time reading all of the descriptions of where the world is at, and why, on this site.

A quote re the adolescent neo-psychotic nightmare from another essay by the same author:

"When the entire human world founds itself on the adolescent motive to aggrandize the individual ego-"I", then everyone is collectively working toward the destruction not only of human culture and mankind itself, but even of the Earth itself, the very vehicle that supports life. The root of this terrible destructiveness is simply the aggrandizement and idealization of egoity, and the illusion that the consumer ego-"I" is great."

Also:

"Therefore, societies based on competitive individualism, and egoic self-fulfilment, and merely gross or superficial mindedness actually destroy culture, and all, until then, existing cultures, and cultural adaptations."

Those who were so blinded by their loathing of Mr Howard and Mr Costello are now getting what they deserve. Future generations are going to pay for this stupidity.

If this came from someone who are not trying to bribe Australian people into voting for him, it might be worth something. The last person who bribe the electorate was Magabe.

Why does Rudd favours a handout, rather than a tax cut, ie one that is the center of Barack Obama's package and the one from the coalition?

Doesn't a one off stimulus only delay unemployment for the short term? Why would you not give tax cuts which reduces unemployment for the long term

That is because Labor want to give us handouts until the next elections, so that they can induce us to vote for them with the handouts. watch for a handout about a week before the next election, coming late this year.

While if they had choosen tax cut, jobs might be creater over the long term, but when Labor goes to the next election, there might be enough unemployed to kicked them out of office

So Rudd choose to spend more of your money to ensure he will be elected at the next election. He is doing what is good for the ALP and not what is good for Australia.

So when you next hear about the economic credential of our esteemed Kevin Rudd .....

Rudd dragging himself from his reclining comatose intellectual state in short breaths puffs his wrath on the sins of economic liberalism. It is amusing to see what a dilettante he is in economic knowledge and economic history when he writes off with a flourish of his pen the great prosperity that unregulated free markets have brought to the world and whose predecessors from the same political stable, Hawke and Keating, so keenly and ardently embraced.

Rudd's biography should be titled "the ego has landed".

Completely forgetting that he promised the electorate that the ALP could guide the ship of state with the same steady hand that the coalition did but with a human face, he has now revealed his true colours as a closest socialist and is prepared to throw out the promise of fiscal rectitude and revert to the big spending labor tradition that will paid for by future generations.

Once we have enjoyed the hit of the fiscal stimulus, we will have to deal with the hangover, and call in the coalition to once again deal with the socialist detritus.

Wow!
More profligate than Whitlam and crazier than Latham what a combination! Ah Mr.Rudd you have done it again.

I am so heartened by so many people realising how wrong our Prime Minister is but sorry that we will be paying for his incompetence for many many years.

Election the end of this year mmmmmm lovely thought
