Dems Declare War on Gold
Pajamas Media ^ | Oct 21, 2010 | Bernard Chapin

Luckily, just as gold is real money, conservatives are real people. We are not ideological constructs. Barack Obama’s enjoyment of golf does not render that activity beyond the pale. Those on the right use merit, rather than groupthink, to evaluate the utility of ideas and interests.

Any sensible person who examined the method by which the government has flooded the market with currency would comprehend that putting their savings in a vehicle unaffected by the Federal Reserve’s manipulation was the smart thing to do.

Yet leftists are not sensible. They are addicted to emotion and its accompanying flotsam and jetsam. They look down on precious metals simply due to our being interested in them. In the old days we used to call persons who did such things children. Now … we call them Democrats.

Regardless of how the administration spins it, nearly every American is concerned about the economy. When people are scared they turn to what is true, which explains fully the appeal of gold.

The left has extended their irrational war on America to include an element bigger than the Democratic Party. Gold undeniably benefits its holder more than a check from a Great Society program. Yes, neo-statists are pompous laughingstock. Fortunately, soon they will be as broke as Social Security.

Alas, democrats. Gold is one of the few things on earth that no matter what you do to it, it’ll still be gold. It literally lasts forever and holds it’s value. Too bad, democrats.

Keep in mind that George Soros is now buying up a lot of gold.

When we get Zimbabwe style inflation, with the Lenin like debauching of the currency will pay off for Soros even better than his bad mouthing the english pound.

I think any Democrat claims about gold and its allleged financial destructiveness should be taken with a grain of salt.

That's OK, the socialists will take that, too.

That’s what Roosevelt said. I wonder what would happen if 0 suddenly declared that Americans can no longer own gold.

You should invest in base metals. If those are declared illegal by the fed-gov they will become even more valuable.

Asians are not PC minorities. They work. They are not on welfare or food stamps. They do not fall for the victimhood trap.

Pretty much nothing. Do you really think people are going to turn in their gold? And if they try and take it they will get more lead then gold....
