A Harvard professor took to the podium at a finance conference Friday and called major influencer of modern economics John Maynard Keynes wrong about his philosophies because he was gay and childless.
During a question and answer session in Carlsbad, California, well-known historian Niall Ferguson was asked how he felt about the theories of English economist John Maynard Keynes versus those of Edmund Burke.
What the prominent Obama critic said in response hushed the crowd of over 500.
According to Tom Kostigen, editor-at-large of Financial Advisor magazine, Ferguson made it clear that he believed Keynes was uninterested in the what was good for society, basically because of his sexual orientation.
‘Ferguson asked the audience how many children Keynes had,’ wrote Kostigen in Financial Advisor. ‘He explained that Keynes had none because he was a homosexual and was married to a ballerina, with whom he likely talked of "poetry" rather than procreated.’
Kostigen said many of the audience members took offense at the remark, but that Ferguson continued.
‘Ferguson, author of The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die,' wrote Kostigen, ‘says it's only logical that Keynes would take this selfish worldview because he was an "effete" member of society.’

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an ex-muzzie but apparently she is very anti-Christian.
You’re absolutely right! It was hip at one time to say, “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” Truth is, we shouldn’t trust anyone who doesn’t want children. I’m not talking about people who can’t have children or want to hold off before having them. I’m talking about people who vote NO to creating the future. They don’t have a vested interest in it, so they shouldn’t be trusted.

You’re speaking on a sensible level that is sadly enigmatic to half the adult population including a few heroes here.

Butt heroes.

And you called it well.
Keynes called himself an immoralist.
He was a big fan of the “Parable of the Bees”, which advocated immorality as being good for society.
Alright, let 's just say it. keynes' economic policies sucked and keynes sucked little boys.
Could someone please contact me when a Republican doesn't apologize for speaking the truth?
Keynes did not have children and had questionable interests in preserving the future saying, "In the long run we are all dead."
A lot of liberals are proponents of eugenics too.
Got a link for that?
The anti-Christian part, I mean. It's well-known that she was onto the pedophile Prophet's racket.
We take a longer view of things: what is good for our children’s children as opposed to: “In the end, we’re all dead.” An evil idea, which has always been the nexus of their goals and beliefs.
Keynes' famous remark about the predictably bad effects of his stimulus spending in the long run was that it didn't matter because "in the long run, we're all dead".
Well, if a family is not part of your scenario, you will predictably have something of a present, as opposed to a future, orientation.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
It’s the ultimate “social experiment”.
“....single heterosexual people have this problem too. “
They do care about their dogs though......
So gays are responsible for the current deficit ? How about Republicans that claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets who don’t love their kids enough ? What a load of crock.
Heteros are better at economics because of sexual orientation?
No, because they have a vested interest in the sucess of society present and future. Homos reject normality at even the basic levels.
He’d have done better to mention that single heterosexual people have this problem too.
That argument is generally accepted as correct it’s only when you apply it to the protected class that it is rejected.
