So what?
Ben has obviously been hitting the turps again.
And this is the kind of nyah nyah (my pee-pee is bigger than yours) sour grapes "thinking" that passes for "informed" opinion on poltical/cultural matters in the USA.

Everything reduced to cardboard cliches and the inherently fascist scape-goat politics of binary exclusions which the "right" specialise in.

Speaking of the "right" in the USA and other parts of the Western world, many of those on the "right" were very sympathetic towards Hitler and the nasties. Keeping the bolshies, socialists and workers in their rightful place.

And a lot of them did very nicely TOO via their business interests, including the original patriarch of the Bush family--Prescott.

Google Bush and the Nazis.

The Bush family also does very nicely via its business interests with the Saudis via the Carlisle Group.

The Saudis who finance most of the Islamic "schools" that preach and promote hatred of the West.

Saudi Arabia the place where "freedom" flourishes---ho ho ho. And with which the USA recently completed a 12 billion dollar arms deal.

What worries me about Herbert Hoover is that he may be in office right now.

Hooverism has been back with us ever since Globalisation and the the return of the Free Market.

As a working farm lad during the Great Depression, can well remember capitalistic signs on railway wagons - Grow more Wheat with the price down to 1/8 shillings a bushell backed by big buyers like Dreyfus and Bunge.

It is interesting to save themselves, growers had to turn agrarian socialistic, kicking out the big buyers and managing their whole industry themselves with blessings from both right and left governments.

Keynesian middle-road politics thus became the order of the globe, still ruling much of the roost till the early 1970s, with the Marshall Plan to restore war-torn countries after WW2, coupled with protective marketing, virtually placing Big Biz buyers in a lower order.

But Hooverian capitalism has now become so strong with even our former little Wesfarmers allowed to increase inflation by borrowing 20 billion dollars to take over Coles Ltd.

Also surprise surprise, farmers are shocked to find a city boy allowed by our new PM Kevin Rudd to take charge of the whole Australian grain industry, favour going in WA here to the Pastoralists and Graziers, inheritors of the Primary Producers, backed in the Depression by Big Biz buyers specialising in niche marketing, not caring a hoot about the industry as a whole.

Thus Hooverian cut-throat competition is now again the
name of the game, older grain cockies worrying about another Great Depression and wondering where its all going to end?

Cheers - BB.
