Al Cardenas heads up the American Conservative Union (ACU), which hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and produces an influential system for rating members of Congress’ ideological purity.
Cardenas expressed support for Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX)’scampaign to defund Obamacare, even at expense of shutting down the government or failing to raise the debt ceiling.

Top Conservative: There Will Be No Major Economic Consequences To Shutdown Or Default
Zack Beauchamp And Scott Keyes
I suspect the conservatives have been sniffing their own farts but from a MORALLY CONSERVATIVE VIEWPOINT, assuming that justice is a conservative virtue, it makes perfect sense that a government shutdown would adversely affect the economy since in our system theft via the counterfeiting cartel, the banks is countered, however weakly, by government social spending.

Franko,
ReplyDeleteWhat part of "when it comes to stolen purchasing power, NO ONE is creditworthy" don't you get?
But like I said elsewhere, the money system must be a major part of Satan's World System so we'll probably have to wait till Christ overthrows it Himself. However, that probably won't be too far in the future if we don't do it ourselves. And we'd better do it ethically since the "666" money system will shortly precede Christ's Second Coming.

ReplyDeleteI think perhaps things are actually going to get way BETTER in real terms for we humans before any of that "end times" stuff starts to occur...
It doesnt look like the Lord's commission includes the ability to overthrow this current system until the Adversary reveals himself... until that happens, it just doenst look like the Lord can be doing anything that you bring up here...
This is perhaps just a 'hunch' if you will, but I think if we humans finally can get it together in real terms for a while, he will reveal himself and then humans can move on while being left alone...
rsp,
Can somebody please define "Top Conservative" ?
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing everything from "Penthouse Luddite" to "Most OCD"
What's the author's definition?
