Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, president of Iceland since 1996, is an antidote to anti-government pessimism porn peddlers in the alternative media, like the late Murray Rothbard, who claimed that government is nothing but a “gang of thieves writ large.”
Appearing on the July 8, 2012 episode of CBC’s, The Sunday Edition, President Grimsson explained how the majority of the Icelandic government supported caving into the demands of Britain and the international banking establishment, while he and the majority of the Icelandic people ultimately prevailed in opposing them through referenda.
So much, then, for the pessimism porn that there’s no good politician, and that they are all in it for themselves.
How tha hell is the moron that wrote this artikel!!! Do you know anything about icelandic poiltiks????

Rothbard’s remark is spot-on, especially considering the acts of the U.S. Congress over the last several decades.
