The Crazy Contradictory World of Sen. Frank Lasee

I once did a radio show for a few hours with Frank Lasee as my conservative foil. I punched holes in his arguments back then, and I’m about to do that again, because he’s annoyingly radical now.
His recent rambling email newsletter contained some real doozies. Like the comment  below the picture;

Lasee refers to the people? Like the protester here addressing the government?

We also get a dose of European socialism thrown in;

“What’s really happening in Europe? They’re going broke, just like we are at the national level.”

Not all countries, especially Germany, who’s kicking our ass with a highly regulated national manufacturing policy. But Lasee forgot to mention: Thanks to Republican economics, they crashed the European and global economies. They're not going broke because of their social safety nets.


And then more of that trademark crazy comes out: Lasee trots out the conservative doom and gloom end game on labor.

We can’t have the people who work for us in government doing so much better than everyone else. Contrary to leftist thinking, you can’t by government directive have everyone paid more and expect to remain competitive with the Chinese, Indians … other states.  
America aspires to have lower wages than the Chinese or Indians? That's says it all doesn't it? Now that’s American exceptionalism.
