At Power Line, Steve Hayward spots Paul Krugman phoning in his periodic “Keynes Was Right” column, and asks:

I wonder if Krugman also credits Keynes’s views on Jews, which British blogger Damian Thompson of The Telegraph brings to our attention. From Keynes’s diary:

[Jews] have in them deep-rooted instincts that are antagonistic and therefore repulsive to the European, and their presence among us is a living example of the insurmountable difficulties that exist in merging race characteristics, in making cats love dogs …

It is not agreeable to see civilization so under the ugly thumbs of its impure Jews who have all the money and the power and brains.

Frankly when you read about his views other than econ...this is one sick puppy.

[GlockThe Vote]

He admitted his economic theories work best under totalitarian go T’s

That is my point. Homosexuals are traumatized in childhood by abuse—either physical/sexual and/or emotional. This leaves homosexuals extremely scarred—they also are self-loathing at a subconscious level which can be easily transferred as hate to other human beings.

They use human beings in despicable ways—they have a twisted, unnatural worldview—that comes right out of a pagan/Satanic/occultist/Marxist worldview. That hate Christianity and the Natural Family—both have to be destroyed so they can practice their “lifestyle” without condemnation—because it is ultimately the use of little boys for their lust and recreation. They are extremely sick. They are fixated at the age of trauma.

These are extremely evil and disturbed people.

Since when does personal beliefs and assumptions NOT become part of a persons reasoning process.

The fact is...they are important.

But, as for your statement don’t feel alone.
Look at the Primary Candidates that seem to be getting approval in Iowa.

Keynes displayed antisemitic tendencies in some of his writings dating to his teens. He was a privledged, upper class academic in a country with a nearly milenia long history of antisemitism. That Keynes shared or accepted those views should be no surprise. To my knowledge that aspect of his mindset wasn't significant in his important writings. And in late 19th, early 20th century Europe an economist with virulent antisemitic views could easily go off on that tangent. His "tendencies" were part of the times.
