I got the following reply recently on this thread. I'm not going to bother responding yet, but found it so amusing I thought I'd share it with you. The guy is literally claiming that Mises and the Austrians claim value is equal and ranked at the same time. He also claims without a doubt that...

I think I've made what will be my final post on Economics at the Science Forums Network, as I'm increasingly under the impression that it is not worth any further time and effort, I've said what needs to be said... In any case I was wondering what you guys think of how well I performed in...

I would be interested in seeing a post, blog, website, etc that is devoted to defining political terms. I was at a Tea Party where I saw signs calling Obama a communist, a socialist, and a fascist. Which sign was correct? All three? What about Bush, what would we classify him as? I believe there are...
