I know and you know. I didn't want to be accused of plagiarism, so I "modified" it slightly ;)
You got that right
That's pretty much the same lame excuse you gave the last time. I guess lying about someone is ok as long as you're lying about the "right" people. Strange stuff, this "moral relativism" you rail against so frequently.
Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted."
Apparently, she paraphrased...p>
These same freepers feel that we're attacking their "conservative" position, which is really a misrepresentation. I'd say we're attacking them for their lack of a position. They talk of conservative principles, but the minute we criticize Bush for worshipping at the altar of the state, we're labeled as disruptors. "We don't understand compromise", "we don't understand popular opinion", or my personal favorite - "we can't just let the other guy in".
Considering the undeniable geometric growth rate of today's Federal government, which as far as I can tell, probably started sometime around 1916 (or would it be 1860's?),one is left to wonder if these freepers have ever questioned how this is possible if "their team" is really fighting for smaller government.
I can only imagine a few possibilities:
They're interested in going to hell at the slowest possible rate - not in reversing the trend - due to fear that no matter how bad "their guy" gets, the "other guy" would have been worse.
They actually quite like government largesse, so long as it's their kind of government largesse.
They're chiefly interested in belonging to a clan that discourages individual thinking and rewards a collective mindset, arising out of a need to belong, no different than their "liberal" counterparts - hence the incessant posting of the number five to "the group", during which they're surely giggling and high-fiving each other like a group of pre-pubescent boys playing spin the bottle with the girls next door.
I can only guess that if they were truly alarmed by our current state of affairs, they'd spend less time calling out the clan with their secret messages and devote a little more time to breaking the cycle. The problem of their guy dialectically implementing a collectivist agenda couldn't exist without their support.
That is to say, you can mock libertarians by telling us we can only dream of creating "sensible policy" or by making fun of the % of the vote we get at the polls, but this is all irrelevant. The truth is, if the pubbies lost a samll fraction of their traditional base to third parties, such as the "losertarians", the party would respond. Dubya might even come back more conservative than Reagan ever was. And of course, the "losertarians" would have won - we don't care if it's "our guy" in the White House, we only care to see freedom advanced - not simply collectivism delayed. Of course, it all requires sticking to your guns, and not waving your pompons and doing a high leg kick when Dubya implements a farm bill that will cost the average family a couple thousand over the next few years, or when he undeniably speaks the U.N. language of globalism.
Want to see if libertarians are just a bunch of whining losers who coo meaningless nothings about freedom? Fine. Let's see if you can actually hold your ground (if you can stick to your principles) to reverse the trend of government explosion for the first time in 100 years or so. I think you'd then see overwhelming support for Republicans from many in the libertarian camp (myself included).
That would be real change, for a change.
Let me see if I can help you. The Illegal aliens, by the millions are spitting on you and me and everyone else in America. They spit on our laws and our sovereignty everyday.
I am an American citizen. Why would you attack me? Jezzz, wake up man... LOL!
Look at your post to me and figure it out for yourself Sherlock
Bed wetting? LOL!
Direct from the voice of another big government apologist....
What's the matter? No Mexicans to spit at today?

"Why would you attack me?"

Uh, look, you are the one that is obviously sticking up for big government, just read above and that's fairly clear. Then you bring up Mexican illegal aliens, and it seems you are obviously sticking up for the illegals too. Or are you just grabing at thin air for the race card, like a good neocon?
So lets see, you are for big government and illegal aliens. And you try and pass yourself off as a conservative patriot? LOL!
Folks, you got to love this stuff.......Yes is no, right is wrong, vote yes on no. These liberal neocons are the new breed Republicrat.....
You fit quite nicely into the two party cartel. Maybe you'll even get elected.......
