Barny Frank And The Right Wing Effort

So what we have is this right wing effort to remove any constructive role for the public sector.


If there is anyone who should be granted a doctorate in the PIT, the Progressive Inversion Tongue, it should be Barny Frank, and this phrase alone is an example of why.
Let’s zoom in on two terms of art that ought to be written with a Sharpie on a rubber chicken and applied to him.

constructive roleWhen a Barny Frank uses this term, what he does not mean is a minimal, clearly defined, Constitutional, liberty-enhancing, affordable, referee position.
Rather, a Barny Frank Progressive means a maximal affair. Roles are vaguely laid out in multi-ream legislation in a vague manner that only dinimishes liberty. The Constitution is a joke in this mindset, and individual liberty is a bug, not a feature. The notion that there be a 1:1 ration between government revenue and spending is a joke to this bloke. And, rather than ensure a level playing field, ‘constructive role’ means destructive choosing of A over B in even the most trivial cases. So that the little people know who won.
public sectorThe casual listener might apprehend that a Barny Frank is implying the existence of a respectable private sector. For the Ruling Class, the public sector is a vast pen into which the Ruling Class has herded the people, offering them ‘freedom from fear’ in exchange for freedom of action, i.e. liberty. An actual private sector would be called ‘capitalism’. If government limited itself to governing there would be increased liberty and prosperity. Having ideologically attacked capitalism and liberty, the public sector is now attempting to sell its ‘constructive role’ as though it was somehow more than a perverse, cheap substitute.

Summary: Go, Sean Bielat! Save the country from this odious twerp!

    When are we going to stop putzing around and recognize Socialism as a crime against humanity?

    The thought that this asshole won’t spend the rest of his life in Federal Prison for wiping out our economy is just sickening.

    The problem is that the Barney Franks are multiplying in the ruling class. The non-responsible causes of havoc.

    Barney Frank is one of the principal authors of the financial crisis we are only now hoping to survive. Whatever he says, believe the opposite.

    Barney, you go back and show us the track record of the public sector’s constructive contributions. Start with the financial sector which you are so well acquinted, and then what you are saying might be worth something. But you’re going to have to give a detailed accounting of what you did to prevent the destruction of the world economy, and start with your support of fannie mae and freddie mac, the pressure you applied to banks to become involved and participate in the sub-prime mortgage market, and explain the personal perks you and Dodd received on your way to bankrupting us all.

    Till then, sit down.
