Government should not tell us how to live our lives, that’s
the job of corporations and their 24 hour a day propaganda machine.
Unquestionably fire is a wonderful thing, one of the great
discoveries of mankind. But to suggest that because it is good that we should
not try to regulate it, to contain and control it, is absurd. How is the market
any different? Shall we abandon human reason and desires to it, or can we not
somehow limit its potential to burn?
More elections have been stolen by impeding voters than will
ever be swung by people voting illegally.
Congressmen have become so busy raising money that they have
been forced to rely on their donors to actually do the work of writing laws.
Capitalism gives us a choice of a thousand different bottled
waters while it pees in the public well.
Responsible gun owners support responsible gun laws.
The flower of peace shall never blossom by being watered
with blood, except, perhaps, the blood of martyrs.
Climate change deniers who point to every bit of snow as
proof of their opinion are like alcoholics who point at every instance they
have not misbehaved while drinking to prove they don’t have a problem.
We are all going to have to work together to solve our
nation’s problems. Of course, there is a strain of political thought today, a
very prevalent one, that says working together IS the problem.
Centuries ago, the Catholic Church had no answer to the
theory that the earth was round, and so was forced to oppose the idea. Today,
the religion of the free market has no answer for global warming, and so must
likewise oppose what does not fit its world view.
When the last public school has closed and the last union
disappeared, then the voices that now clamor for choice will fall silent. While
there will be no choice left, they will say nothing, because it was never
really about choice for them to begin with.
The more corporations take over our country, the louder will
be the voices from the media that free enterprise is under attack from the
government.
We are at a stage where we must learn to believe in
Utopia…or 1984.
If you’re going to be a politician it helps to be a
pathological liar.
If money equals free speech, then how can prostitution be
illegal?
Why do governments put sanctions on countries that do bad
things? Because corporations are soulless money suckers that would do business
with the devil himself if it netted them a few bucks.
Beware of politicians who talk about working for the
taxpayer. When they said the same thing in the South prior to the Civil War,
they weren’t talking about working for those who actually did the work.
When our politicians talk about free trade, they’re not
talking about the poor black man selling cigarettes on the street corner.
Of course the Confederate Flag is a symbol of intolerance
and hatred, all flags are.
Conservatives have fallen on hard times. In the 70’s they
callously told the poor, “Get a job!” Today they are forced to say, “Get a
second job!”
Government is what big business wants it to be. To think to
change society by going after government is like a bull going after a matador’s
cape.
If you make credit too easily available you will have idiots
driving around in vehicles the wise cannot afford. And in the end it will be
the wise who will end up paying.
Is it too wild an assertion that elected officials should
work for those people who pay their salaries instead of those who pay for their
election campaigns?
