On a platform of what ? That govt should do absolutely nothing about the nation's problems and let the chips fall where they may ?Why don't you run for office?

Pretty much a standard tea party platform...On a platform of what ? That govt should do absolutely nothing about the nation's problems and let the chips fall where they may ?
That's like saying if you don't like the Mafia, you should join it and do a better job.Why don't you run for office?
That would be my position, more or less..... what do you think my chances are?On a platform of what ? That govt should do absolutely nothing about the nation's problems and let the chips fall where they may ?
The teabaggers didn't want a president. They wanted a magic wizard whose govt could make job appear, and solve the nation's problems without spending any money. There were actually polls where republicans said the govt should spend more money while also lowering the deficit.Pretty much a standard tea party platform...
I just think it's a little ridiculous to criticize someone for doing a job that Rick is either unwilling or incapable of doing.
I know. You libertarians want a country ruled by the strongest people. What you don't realize is the strength differential between the super rich and the rest of the population.That would be my position, more or less..... what do you think my chances are?
It's a hard world; let the weak fall.I know. You libertarians want a country ruled by the strongest people. What you don't realize is the strength differential between the super rich and the rest of the population.
To a lot of those so called strong people goodness is weakness. Those are especially the people who would take advantage of a lack of govt in a nation.It's a hard world; let the weak fall.
How would that be worse than now?To a lot of those so called strong people goodness is weakness. Those are especially the people who would take advantage of a lack of govt in a nation.
You see it in the headlines. It's the major issue with the right, right now today.How would that be worse than now?
That just requires a tax increase in excess of the spending increase.There were actually polls where republicans said the govt should spend more money while also lowering the deficit.
Oh yeah, and they wanted more spending and less govt debt "without raising taxes".That just requires a tax increase in excess of the spending increase.
By cracky...the clock keeps ticking...and this lefty post with ZERO relevant content...discussing neither the OP nor what I wrote...and instead attacked a poster...REMAINS IN PLAY.Yep. 5+ hours later. As I expected.
I’d just amend that a tad. The strong people should be free to help those who need it...without intermediary.It's a hard world; let the weak fall.
So if our government was small and left us to our own devices, then we wouldn't have 100, 000+ people swarming the border just to my SW every year? Is that what you're saying?You see it in the headlines. It's the major issue with the right, right now today.
People fleeing countries with weak do nothing govts that can't protect them from the strongmen in their lands piling up at our border.
It's all projection; they don't trust folks to behave in a charitable fashion because they know they wouldn't, absent any outside control. Same thing with gun control, they know they can't be trusted not to assault, rob, or murder others and assume the rest of us are the same way.I’d just amend that a tad. The strong people should be free to help those who need it...without intermediary.
Lefty views the state as Christ...though he rejects Him. Just let people be free. That’s what the Almighty did. But lefty...not so much. See...lefty knows better...
Well, depends how they are replaced. If we smash the state and establish a workers’ and farmers’ government such a government would be far more democratic, no?What makes you think their replacements would be any better?
Yeah, you would have people fleeing. “Small government” just means no interference with gangs and warlords setting up their own local fiefdoms. Neo-feudalism by another name.So if our government was small and left us to our own devices, then we wouldn't have 100, 000+ people swarming the border just to my SW every year? Is that what you're saying?
I'd be okay with that.
That’s all it means, huh?Yeah, you would have people fleeing. “Small government” just means no interference with gangs and warlords setting up their own local fiefdoms. Neo-feudalism by another name.
Where is the “small government” party or movement that hasn’t either done this, or morphed into a “big government” dictatorship, in practice when given power?That’s all it means, huh?
Well...no point in discussing things when this is what constitutes “reason”.
