You may not consider Pol Pot a communist (embarrassed?) but he certainly produced 100% employment.

That bit of business from Lenin that in order to eat you must work is hardly the state of current leftist thought today.  Current leftist thought today is that regardless of what you do you get what you want regardless of what you contribute.

i would just like to say that with most authoritarian governments they preach about equality and usually take power based on trying to give "equality", .......not to mention that financially socialism bankrupts nations...i think that many of the countries in france would not have lasted this long financially without piggy-backing off of the stronger economies thru the formation of the euro...i think it was a terrible idea to form the euro because all euro-zone contries were not equal in economic production, letting weaker economies survive longer than they should have...greece's government hasn't really made sound financial decesions(and more taxes for more government isn't a good financial decision) and now they're being forced to tighten their belts.

socialism is for equalizing outcomes amongst all classes....what they never admit is that this will never happen so long as their is a class that they like to keep separate when speaking and that is the political class...in socialism the ones who make the rules will never be equal to the ones who must obey the rules

Just be careful not to bunch all right wingers in with the mess of the republican party. Some of us are against all big government from welfare to farm subsidies. Not all of us are christian. Well not all of us are republican. I'm a right wing libertarian. I'm right wing on fiscal matters like you, but unlike you I'm also right wing with social matters.

the tea parties i believe are probably a bunch of hypocrites--probably saying dont touch my guns or my money! and in the same breath saying dont put that(either cock or drugs) into your body and crying about the other team being a bunch of statists when they clearly are themselves. they're the same people who think the militarization of the police is a good thing because its tough on crime.

Probably? You watch MSNBC too much? You do understand that Tea Party is a protest against Socialism and nothing but that right? Sure there are anti-drug/prostitution social cons there but it's 100% libertarian cause and there are loads of libertarian folk out there. If you're libertarian you should be protesting with them not bitching about them...

oh i totally agree that corporations who have lobbies get better outcomes than those that dont...but this is not capitalism...capitalism is not a business-lawmaker partnership....i would argue that, with a government that intends to regulate and control many aspects of the economy, businesses lobby the government(political class) to keep the government out of their business. also businesses lobby government to pass laws to keep away competition...in no way is this capitalism...capitalism is not politics...ideally if government would stay the fuck out of the way of business there would be no need for lobbyists. it would be futile to lobby a politician b/c he wouldn't be able to pass a law to interfere anyways. the politician would be constrained...ideally the consumer would decide...which business provides a better product...which provides the cheapest product...or which provides the best service....whoever provides the best in the consumers' eyes succeeds and survives...this is capitalism.

the more a government regulates and interferes in the marketplace the more money will be spent on lobbying that government. and in an environment like this those evil large corporations(your opinion of them) survive because they have more money to line the pockets of the politicians...the little guy gets devestated in an environment like this.

I would argue that more than likely if you take the tea partiers and what they believe, yeah they are for laissez-faire ecnomics to an extent...a number are farmers who recieve subsidies and would be pissed if you cut off their faucet...a number are contractors or small business owners who have gov. contracts would be upset if they didn't get their contracts...in texas i'm sure there is some private prison builders/workers who are tea partiers and would be pissed if the cash stopped coming....also how many tea partiers actually want an end to foreign war. how many tea partiers think that we defeated germany sixty years ago and we dont need to have a base there yet, that europe should protect itself...not to mention another key issue for libertarians, immigration and more of it is good for america...they still don't realize that freedom has some uglyness(drugs, gays-depending on your position on them, people saying dirty, vile things, etc.) and freedom has positives as well....the tea partiers still don't get that to protect the positives we must accept the negatives, because if we try to fix the negatives through government, inevitably the government will destroy the positives(like obama putting a guy in charge of medicare who thinks brittain's system of rationed care is good)

the problem with conservatism is it does not provide a clear and different alternative to progressiveism....american conservativeism is the backpack full of stones on the back of socialism/communism slowing it down as it races to the top of the mountain....everytime conservatives compromise with the left the left gets closer to the summit...american conservatism is not an alternative path but a group of people saying wait! and slow down! all the while compromising their beliefs every step of the way(think bush giving up on what was left of the free-market) what a load of shit.  Libertarianism is the path out.

Ron Paul is a jackass and had nothing to do with the current tea party movement.  For its origins see Rick Santelli rant.

That's funny.  The insurance companies love this deal.  The government just forced more people to buy their product.  Do you know who gets fucked?  Small business.  That isn't your giant corporatins that you hate so much but use products of everyday.

There actually is no such thing as a Tea Party.  It doesn't exist.  And if the popular uprising known as the Tea Party results in big government Republicans getting tossed well then, good.  They betrayed their principles.  Fuck off back to the farm, Lindsey Graham.

Ron Paul will do nothing because he will never be anything more than he is, which is a fringe nutcase with a seat in Congress that he has managed to parlay into exactly nothing.  None of his whackjob shit ever gets passed.

If you aren't going to follow the proper application process for entry into this country you can just fuck off.  Just what are the Canuck requirements for entry into Canoodia.  I know the one's for Mexico are quite stringent.

Minding our own business?  The world is our business, child.  And the only way the world will respect the US is if it strong.  Not some faggy Neville Chamberlain look the other way wimp like France.  Forget that.  Even France think Obama's a pussy.

i'm having a hard time splitting your quotes, so here we go
1. ron paul is smarter than you , at least he wants to end the war on drugs.

2. i don't like them that much, but at least they aren't insane

yes they liked the last deal and everyone was apeshit pissed about it, but look at how they fought the single payer then the public option, i mean what do you personally have against the public option? i can't find anything negative about the public option. i have a hard time finding any arguments against it. and yes, the deal is a ripoff in favor of the health insurance company, the tea party protested like a bunch of nutjobs throwing bills of dollar at the face of an old guy who can't afford to live so compromises reached this crap, unless obama planned this all along.

sure illegals can't enter usa but usa can enter any goddamn country like it wishes so.

the only way the usa is going to be respected is when it stops propping up puppet government and actively taking part in protecting genocidal government like israel and kleptocratic government like jean-claude duvalier's haiti. it should also stop supporting saudi arabia the worst damn country on earth when it comes to human rights. oh and it probably should stop trying to overthrow people like jean-bertrand aristide and hugo chavez, democratically elected people.

yes and any of his events are more or less ignored by the media in your great country with free speech. sure he goes in the media here and there and judge napolitano invites him on his show. his rallies are grossly distorted as attracting 2-3 persons when he attracts more than a few hundred.

i am not sure the picture is accurate, but have you really heard much that was positive about ron paul . i mean in the debate all they ever did was saying he was on the wrong team because he was the only one with the goddamn sense to ask for limited government thus limited military.

i am not sure the image is appropriate but i cant find any sign that isn't in the favor of ron paul.
