I will let you know that most of us that have been around here 10 or 12 years know that if Carry_Okie says it, you can take it to the bank. I would stack his bona fides up against about anyone you can call on from the conservative side nationwide.

I will let you know that most of us that have been around here 10 or 12 years know that if Carry_Okie says it, you can take it to the bank. I would stack his bona fides up against about anyone you can call on from the conservative side nationwide.

I read most of his site and found much of it interesting, some of it insane, and all of it based on passion and love for nature. I see Carry_Okie as more of a Libertarian than a Conservative and he is given to grand dreams that may or may not be practical, but he is also a man of practicality and gets his hands dirty so I won't fault him for his efforts or his teaching.

I still haven't seen anything that would justify his casting aspersions on what Moore is saying in this clip or the majority of ideas that he has proposed.

They are not doctrinaire Libertarian stances (Moore's) and he has not jettisoned his core values that led him into forming GreenPeace, instead he jettisoned the doctrinaire socialists who hijacked his vision of making the world a better place through pushing for action on specific issues that relate to the property of the community or the whole of the community that he sees as being implemented via law and regulation.

The fact that Moore is proposing rational regulation and how to decide what is rational is a vast step forward and provides a path to downsize government when insisting that we attempt to abandon government completely is not a realistic option for public action.

Now at some point it might become realistic, Glenn Beck's sharing of the Overton Window is very instructive in understanding the limits of what might be done next verses what ultimately might be done. The left understands these principles in their bones. The right has proven terrifyingly adept at studying, applying and ultimately countering the strategies the left has constructed over the years such as those put forward by Alynski, Clovin-Pivin, Soros, Ayres and Company. So, there is hope, most especially hope that through concerted action we might push the pendulum back toward freedom and liberty.
