Excellent. This shows the true nature of libertarianism and what would happen if teabaggers tried to run anything.

@shackupyourstruly Yes we are free to choose when markets are free.

Don't like what oil companies are doing? Then walk the 10 or more miles to work.

Don't like unsafe working conditions at your work? Your free to be jobless and out on the street.

And I am sure private hospitals would love to compete over you before you die of illness, assuming that any insurance company will cover you.

Yes, free markets make sure that we are all as free to choose to be destitute, exploited poisoned and ill

YAY

Seven months? In the meantime, I got a little frustrated reading TEA Party blogs. It started out being against 'big government', but they added exceptions without adequately explaining their reasoning. As for the full-fledged Libertarians, total privatization is not exactly what they would like. What I take away from those blogs is that they are in favor of mini-governments in order to be more responsive to their constituents. Imagine getting group rates instead of necessarily paying retail.

@ShefBill there are 7 billion people on the planet now.

So when you say "we will have less people to share the planet with soon" what exactly is your basis for comparison?

[booley]

@kasyno ahh yes the Hitler gambit. Just throw Hitler into it and instant argument. Add some other bad people for flavor and presto! No need for a cogent discussion of your POV or explain how people who ideologically opposed enough to try to kill the other should all be in the same boat or even if it's even remotely true. Just say Hitler (& whom ever else like Stalin or Casey Anthony or my ex) all like whatever I don't or like whatever I want people to agree with.

Brilliant!

Dear Emma

I have also something funny and true. You see, socialists always looked for a missing transitional fossil between an ape and a human being, apparently this transitional fossil is socialist

[kasyno]

poor sense of humor and stupidity; Hitler, Stalin, Kim Ir Sen etc. were against private business initiatives, private schools, private police etc so on and on, only less taxes they put on people comparing to current socialist governments ie in USA now and unfortunately your ideas Emma are much closer to mentioned dictators and I hope people like you will never have an impact on economy.

Hooray for Lesbians and UN's agenda 21. Between the agenda and the homosexual trendings, we will have less people to share the planet with soon. Plus, we will all voluntarily give the new government complete control over every aspect of our sheeple lives. So turn in all your guns, pay higher taxes, fees and fines, move to the cities, and watch NPR around the clock!

Perfect! Loved the song and the video!

I miss Sandy and Lucia as Petronella. I've been juggling the name Petronella around in my computified existence for about 15 years now. On the topic of this video, I believe it when the TEA party-ists state that they do not support beastly military as an 800-pound albatross about the neck; military overspending is just another instance of "big government".

@dancingterrorist Somebody better tell the T.E.A. party then that there are thousands of people calling themselves tea partiers that don't' really represent them but saying they do.

Because I cant' tell the crazy and ignorant ones from the ones you are talking about. In fact there are so many of the people like the ones this video mocks, I can't see the sane ones at all.

[dancingterrorist]

Doesnt really accurately represent the T.E.A party movement in any intelligent way, but funny none the less.
