Los mitos republicanos de Warren Orbaugh

-¿Qué tienen en común los personajes de estos bustos? (Sitos en la oficina de Warren Orbaugh?

-Uno (Aristóteles) inventó la república, los tres del medio la crearon (Adams, Franklin y Jefferson).
¿Y el Capitán América? Mantiene el mito de la república ideal. Mises y Rand en la tazas le dan el sustento racional a esta idea." Según me contó +HERBERT WARREN ORBAUGH STOESSEL 

Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration

Para todos mis amigos jeffersonianos: creo que les gustará ver este video humorístico sobre la Declaración de Independencia de los EEUU. La música es la famosa de la canción de Justin Timberlake. Es una producción de Soomo quien define el video como una ensoñación anacronística en la que se preguntan qué pasaría si el productor de música pop Timbaland hubiera producido un video sobre la Declaración de Independencia:


When people who love politics, pop culture and filmmaking are asked to humanize the sentiment of the founders in writing the declaration, we sometimes get carried away. And every now and then, they let us run with it.
The following video is an anachronistic daydream asking the question, "If pop producer Timbaland had sought to build consensus around declaring independence, what might he have produced?"
If you (like everyone at Soomo over 35) aren't familiar with the original video that prompted this parody, you can see it here. "Apologize" by OneRepublic went to number one in 16 countries in a remix by Timbaland.



  No os perdáis el punteo final de violín -Jefferson- y la guitarra eléctrica de Benjamin Franklin con el grupo de Heavy Metal "1776 Founding Fathers". Jajaja!

La letra tiene su miga:



Halfway across the globe
And we're standing on new ground
Screaming 'cross the waves
You can't hear a sound
There's no fair trials, no trade, no liberties
No tea
We've colonized America; we won't stand for tyranny,
Oh king

And it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

We've paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just won't do
We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true
All men were created with certain



Unalienable rights
Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness

And it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said It's too late to apologize
It's too late

It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late apologize
It's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah

Halfway across the globe
And we're standing on new ground

I want you to end the FED (Thomas Jefferson)

Thomas Jefferson  (1743 - 1826), 3er Presidente de los EEUU. Su oposición al Banco de los Estados Unidos fue feroz: «Creo, sinceramente, con ustedes, que los establecimientos bancarios son más peligrosos que los ejércitos permanentes y que el principio de gastar dinero para ser pagado por la posteridad, bajo el nombre de la financiación, es sin embargo una estafa futura a gran escala». Sin embargo Madison y el Congreso, al ver el caos financiero causado por la guerra de 1812, hicieron caso omiso de sus consejos y crearon el segundo banco de los Estados Unidos en 1816.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed) 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
