AEI loses it
AEI has clearly jumped all possible sharks. Few weeks ago
two of their Comrades put out a book glorifying the Carbon Cult nonsense, calling Republicans "anti-science" for attempting to assert facts about CO2 and evolution. (Of course the accusation is wildly misplaced to begin with, since 99% of Repooflicans in office are either active Soviet agents or passive pansies on these questions. The only exception is the heroic James Inhofe.)
Now Arthur Brooks gives an NPR interview in which he's supposedly showing that the "free-market" model is more moral than the opposite. And again he stoutly defends the anti-science anti-civilization anti-factual ratshit of the Cult, defends all wacked-out pseudotheories and smashes all facts.
Sorry, Comrade Art. If you want to be "moral" you have to start with facts. If you want to be "moral" you have to start with good logic and good science. Most of all, if you want to be "moral" you CANNOT take the same side as genocidal mass murderers. You CANNOT follow the same path as Margaret Mead and James Hansen and Michael Mann.
What you are, Art, is just another Wall Street dickhead, a pitiable court jester for the inbred cretinous nobility. If it's profitable for Goldman it's moral. If it's profitable for Morgan Chase it's moral. If it's profitable for the money-changers in the temple, it's moral.
And the Carbon Cult is unquestionably good for Goldman ... at the moment ... though I suspect the foundations are crumbling. When the profit margin declines enough, I'm sure your "moral" sense will change to fit the fashion of the Satanic aristocracy.
