MSM goes after Newt

Reading this article on the Gingrich marriage imbroglio proves a bird's eye view on how the MSM tries to control the  nominee selection process. Of particular interest in this example are the comments which follow the article.

Ron Paul has an important message

Paul Jacob's mea culpa here speaks for many people these days about the candidacy of Ron Paul.  Paul is a follower of the Austrian school of economics.  This school proclaims the Federal Reserve and fractional banking to be the twin causes of the recurring booms and busts in western economies, and any other economies that deviate from free market  principles, what used to be called "laissez faire" capitalism.  Such economists as Von Mises, Rothbard, Hazlet, and others provide a coherent explanation of the so-called failures of capitalism that   has been accurate over and over since they began to have ibnfluence in the middle of the 20th century.  Call their philosophy anti-Keynsianism, and you'd about have it.  A return to the gold standard is included in their prescriptions for a cure, as well as reducing government intervention in the markets to an absolute minimum.

ADDED:  Paul and the Austrian school are appropriately appalled by the welfare state and what it does to any society.  This brief piece from Forbes speaks to this issue.
