Where was all of this deep patriotic concern for all that our country stands for when Bush was turning the Constitution and Bill of Rights into toilet paper?

[plddevries]

I want to join that group!

@VarialProductions I don't advocate anarchy. I advocate minarchy.

True democracy is bad for freedom. A democratic REPUBLIC is what we're supposed to be and what we need to return to in order to save our nation.

I don't even care if you keep your left wing big government ideals. Ideally the people of California/Massachusetts/New York/Wherever, should be allowed to tax their people to death and hate freedom, what they shouldn't be able to do is force it upon the rest of the country via DC.

[VarialProductions]

But it was a minority of people who wanted to repeal slavery and give equal rights to minorities. If there was not a democracy to protect the rights of the minorities party it would most likely never get done. That is why we see every modern western society as a democracy and not an anarchist society as it would appear you suggest.

@VarialProductions I also understand that government is what enabled slavery, segregation, and kept minorities from voting. Got a point?

Throughout history the absolute greatest achievements that effected the largest groups of people were thanks to the hard work of INDIVIDUALS not governments...while the absolute worst things humanity has ever witnessed were committed by governments.

Reality is why I'm libertarian. Collectivism is almost uniformly bad for America and humanity.

[VarialProductions]

Don't you understand that we used the government to end slavery, and then to end segregation and then to give voting rights to minorities?

I'm sorry but it seems as if you are on the wrong side of reality!

His voting record shows zero racism, and libertarian principles mean that even if he was racist he would never use government to do anything about it. So I don't really care. You do apparently.

Massive financial chaos? Some of the most prosperous times in this countries history, where there was the greatest increase in standards of living was without a fed. I've seen drug withdrawal...it's a cure.

Being smarter than you doesn't make me advanced, in fact it doesn't say much about me at all.

[Plutonwolf]

Racist. Really.

I know Paulbots love to 'splain away that issue, but really? He had nothing to do with his own news letter? Really?

The Fed actually should be regulated, over seen, well controlled and always kept in check. This being said, the alternative to a Fed-less country would be massive financial chaos initially. Ever see drug withdrawal?

As to being SO advanced, why bother with the internet, you evidently are so far above us you can mind beam data to the world. putz

[bighitter42]

So the best way to fix what the previous administration did is to continue the same policies? Surely you're being facetious.

I don't "follow" any politicians, because in the end that's all they are. Maybe a personality voter can't grasp such a sane concept...I don't know what your problem is.

So Mr. Economics Professor, explain to me why the fed should exist as a fourth and unchecked branch of government? I don't even really care about "hard currency," I care about freedom.

Racist? Really?

[Plutonwolf]

Anyone with an I Q greater than their belt size would see that Bush and Friends left a Gordian knot for the following administrations and anyone with one iota of clarity or honesty would admit this. But, what would one expect from a follower of a smarmy little shriveled up racist. Fiat currency my ass, go audit the fed some more johnny one note.

Obama said he'd bring our warriors home from a senseless war. When will he stop the killing? Where's code pink now?

Obama said he'd immediately close Guantanamo. When? And for that matter you'd think that he'd stop the practices not just the location.

Obama said a lot of things. But anyone with an IQ over 80 can see that he's just the other side of the same coin that Bush was on. Hell, at least Bush was relatively honest about his attacks on freedom, markets, and general humanity.

We need to get government out of insurance not into it. I wonder why the parts of "health care" that have zero insurance and little government involvement have seen prices that have dropped like rocks and quality that has skyrocketed. It's because insurance that Americans have grown accustomed to is not insurance at all...it's pre-paid health care, there is zero incentive to save. If people had an actual hand in the game it would save us a lot more money.

Continue to blame people with jobs.
