Now, I wonder how right wing pea brains can be so fucking stupid as to think that big government, which can't make a profit on selling whores and whiskey, is suddenly going to be right when they start a war...

Now, I wonder how right wing pea brains can be so fucking stupid as to think that big government, which can't make a profit on selling whores and whiskey, is suddenly going to be right when the military asks for billions of dollars...

Now, I wonder how right wing pea brains can be so fucking stupid as to think that big government, which can't make a profit on selling whores and whiskey, is suddenly going to be right when they arrest and incarcerate American citizens and put them to DEATH...

Now, I wonder how right wing pea brains can be so fucking stupid as to SAY they support the troops, but vote AGAINST the GI Bill...

Now, I wonder how right wing pea brains can be so fucking stupid as to SAY they support a clean environment, but parrot as GOSPEL reports from organizations funded by the worst polluters on the planet...

Now, I wonder how right wing pea brains can be so fucking stupid as to think that big government, which can't make a profit on selling whores and whiskey, is suddenly UN-Constitutional when money is to be spent on America and Americans, but acting in our best interest when it WASTES 3 Trillion dollars killing Iraqis and rebuilding THEIR infrastructure...

Pea brain "Nanny State"

....or maybe how left wing neutron brains are going to contain medical costs, when they haven't contained the costs of a one of their other beloved socialistic do-gooder welfare state programs.

You've met the enemy, Bubba, and he is you.

So what you're saying DUDe is the government our founders created was a mistake...the British East India Company just like insurance corporations today have every right to rip off the people... the people need to shut up and let the corporations run this country!

 

[Oddball]

Um....I don't know how to break this to you, Jethro....

The biggest multinational corporation in the whole friggin' world -known as District of Columbia- runs this nation.

But I guess that when said corporation has little thugs with that (D) next to their names running the show, everything is peace and love beads, huh?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The British East India Company was not going to rip off anybody in the colonies. Their tea was subsidized by taxes from the mother country. The tea would have been cheaper to buy in the colonies, the company would have avoided bankruptcy, and the taxes would have gone to pay royal governors, thus freeing them from colonial legislative interference.

Why then did the freest people in the world in terms of daily life and economic opportunity revolt against the mother country? Simple -- because the Parliament and King would rule without the colonists' consent.

A few of you despise constitutional and electoral results. Accept that the Patriots have won this round. The lesson here for the conservatives is that you are not Patriots, you are Loyalists. You look back to an age of Bush and authoritarianism. Instead of crybabying, get to work. Find a credible leader and a good program. Then present it instead of whining.

As the projection parade marches on!

BF I didn't think you could possibly get any more retarded after your opening salvo in this thread but I'll be damned if your last didn't go ahead and do it. You think everythink should be mandated by Washington DC and you think that is freedom? Check that koolaid cat there's something in there that causing serious brain damage.

Then I guess Jefferson, Madison and our founding fathers were "Jethros"

Hey pea brain, when your health insurance corporation denies your claim, raises your premium or cancels your policy, call your "representative" or vote in a different one...

Oh, you don't HAVE ONE...

Gee Jethro, maybe the stockholders will feel sorry for you and forfeit some profits...

Our founding fathers and corporations

The Constitution only mentions two entities: We the People and the government. The people are on one side of a line, and we are sovereign and have individual rights. On the other side of the line is the government, which is accountable to the people and has specific duties to perform to the satisfaction of the people.

A word that appears nowhere in the Constitution is "corporation," for the writers had no interest in using for-profit corporations to run their new government. In colonial times, corporations were tools of the king's oppression, chartered for the purpose of exploiting the so-called "New World" and shoveling wealth back into Europe. The rich formed joint-stock corporations to distribute the enormous risk of colonizing the Americas and gave them names like the Hudson Bay Company, the British East India Company, and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Because they were so far from their sovereign - the king - the agents for these corporations had a lot of autonomy to do their work; they could pass laws, levy taxes, and even raise armies to manage and control property and commerce. They were not popular with the colonists. So the Constitution's authors left control of corporations to state legislatures (10th Amendment), where they would get the closest supervision by the people.

Early corporate charters were explicit about what a corporation could do, how, for how long, with whom, where, and when.

Corporations could not own stock in other corporations, and they were prohibited from any part of the political process.

Individual stockholders were held personally liable for any harms done in the name of the corporation, and most charters only lasted for 10 or 15 years. But most importantly, in order to receive the profit-making privileges the shareholders sought, their corporations had to represent a clear benefit for the public good, such a building a road, canal, or bridge.

And when corporations violated any of these terms, their charters were frequently revoked by the state legislatures.

First of all, you and your Marxist opinions have absolutely zero in common with the framers of the republic, Jethro.

Secondly, form the official NATIONAL ARCHIVES:

Established: Effective June 1, 1871, by an act of February 21, 1871 (16 Stat. 419), abolishing the Corporations of the City of Washington, DC, and Georgetown, DC, and the Levy Court of Washington County, DC; and replacing them with a municipal corporation known as the District of Columbia.

Why is it so difficult to understand why conservatives believe and act the way we do? We are very straightforward about why. If you refuse to listen, it's really not us that has the problem is it?

Why is it so difficult to understand why conservatives believe and act the way we do? We are very straightforward about why. If you refuse to listen, it's really not us that has the problem is it?

The reason is simple. Conservatism is based on observed phenomena in Economics and politics. Like, "set the price artificially high and you will get many providers and few buyers."
This has played out just recently in news about the unemployment rate for black teenagers. This is currently at 50.4%.
Why is it so high? In no small part because the Dems raised the minimum wage last year. Conservatives opposed that measure because, based on economics, it would result in the least skilled entry level workers getting hurt the most (note: once again liberal show that whatever they say about conservatives is true--but about liberals.). Now this has happened, just as predicted.
But instead of recognizing that their actions were directly responsible Liberals will do the only reasonable thing: blame Pres Bush.
Liberals are about intentions and feelings. Conservatives are about facts and effects.

 

[Libertarian2009]

Why don’t we do away with the two party system and only have a Constitutional party of our Republic? The right is to far right, the left is to far left the Independents fan far right and far left.

Why not revamp Washington give our Government an Enema and go back to the basics.
If you’re a politician, you get no pay, you work for the people not for the money..
