    New Rule: People posting Glen Beck clips owe me a bottle of really nice wine after I’ve listened to it.

    Ick! Beck is a major league asshole, and like the other leaders of the Republican Party are more interested in belittling and demonizing people who don’t agree with them than in engaging on any ideas. And the rat bastard has the nerve to refer to himself in the royal “we”. But you can tell from that just how badly they don’t want health care reform to happen, can’t you?

  2. LOL Cassandra. That’s a good rule! Yes, Beck is a major league asshole.

    Is government the answer to everything?

  5. Delaware Dem says:

    No, Bob. But neither is the unregulated free market.

  6. Steve Newton says:

    neither is the unregulated free market.

    On that we actually agree. The difference between us has to do with settling how much regulation; regulation as opposed to government ownership/total control….

  7. anon says:

    Your ‘unregulated free market’ is also known as ‘freedom’. Government is the exact opposite.

    One is the natural state of human progress. The other is its throttle.

    Which one (free market or government) you see as fitting either of these definitions is the key indicator of whether you believe in freedom as the natural state of humanity or as a gift from government to be doled out to you piecemeal by geniuses like this blog’s writers.

    The real question is how ‘regulated’ a market is before it is no longer ‘free’ any more. For those around here who view freedom as a gift from government – like they view non-taxed earnings as ‘subsidies’ — there should never be such a thing as a ‘free’ market. Their work in history is well documented by the many horrors they have wrought on humanity.

    No ‘unregulated free market’ ever mass murdered millions of human beings. Same can’t be said of governments throughout the ages.

    It is a really really perverse view that is pretty much mandatory doctrine here.

  8. Delaware Dem says:

    Are you an anarchist, anon? Because that is what you just described. No law, no government, no regulation. Maybe that is it. All these right wing loons are anarchists. Maybe that is why they think it is ok to kill those they disagree with, especially after they lose elections.

    The GOP intellignesia. It never dissapoints.

  10. anon says:

    No one described ‘no law, no government, no regulation’. It is about balance and the direction you come from — or really what is the starting point for organizing human affairs.

    You start with government pretty much as the origin of species and essential to human salvation — the ‘cost of civilization’ nonsense etc. — (even though it is governments that have wrought the most and worst horrors on ‘civilization’ than any other organization of humanity).

    On the other side, viewing government as a necessary evil and evil unless necessary is not anarchism.

    As usual when a commenter gets too close to the heart of the matter you distort and mischaracterize their view. That’s also doctrine around here.

  11. anon says:

    The liberal thickness. It never fails.

  12. rhubard says:

    Go back to your conservative roots. Anyone who doesn’t understand the history of humankind shouldn’t go on Teh Internets lecturing about it.

  13. anon says:

    Anyone who can’t write a comprehensible comment shouldn’t—-well, comment on the internets.

  14. Geezer says:

    Have you noticed that on almost every issue, liberals are discussing the nuts and bolts of making a policy work, while conservatives whine that it doesn’t fit their “principles”? Even the self-puffed-up Dr. Newton, who can occasionally address the actual problems, can’t resist dragging his pathetic little philosophy into things.

    Hey, cons and libertarians: More to Texas. Declare it independent. Act on your “principles.” You’re nowhere near as interested in solving problems as you are in debating what would constitute the perfect society.

    Leave us alone. We’re trying to get things fixed.

  15. rhubard says:

    Your lack of comprehension skills does not constitute my problem. You clearly don’t understand pre-civilized societies, or, based on what you wrote, civilized ones either. Nobody is interested in your “philosophy,” loser. If you’re so devoted to it, get a degree in anthropology and lecture kids at some fourth-rate university, like our esteemed Dr. Newton. Otherwise, fuck off, sport.

  16. anon says:

    Your colors are flying Geezbard.

  17. anon says:

    ‘Pre-civilized societies’. Hah. How about ‘pre-social civilizations’? Talk about incomprehensible nonsense.

    “more interested in belittling and demonizing people who don’t agree with them than in engaging on any ideas. And the rat bastard has the nerve to refer to himself in the royal “we”.”

    I thought that was an apt description of DL and Jason!

  19. anon says:

    They’re like idiots bouncing off each others’ ad hoc beliefs — between infantile insults.

    What of Geeztrolls royalist ‘we’re trying to fix things’ drivel?

    Problem is ‘they’re’ what needs to be fixed.
