My (Jewish/Atheist) father’s family was prosperous in the “evil” Austrian Empire which Czar Woodrow was determined to destroy by hypocritically talking of “peace without victory” and neutrality while encouraging Britain and prolonging war. At the end, war was followed by a starvation blockade and an exceedingly vindictive treaty guaranteed to destabilize Europe.

Sadly, other than Harding and Coolidge, our post-Wilsonian presidents have all been imitators of this idiot-savant President. Some like Bush II and Obama really salivate at micromanaging the Planet. America probably would be better off under the Hapsburgs and von Mises than Obama and Krugman.
The Austrians also had excellent music and some dynamite sacher tortes!

Is it just the cowardice of the Keynesian leaders who don’t want to be proven wrong? I very much despise the fools taking down the wise man who would go it alone. It’s not like Germany is making the other countries abandon their ideas. Go to it, just leave me out of your failure!
