Emerson writes, "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string." But our Progressive sisters and sisters tell us, Trust Government, you're just too stupid to be on your own.

Can there be anything more diametrically opposed to the Modern Left than Self Reliance?

Self-Reliance
 
Yes, that single mother with brain cancer needs to get out and work to pay for an insurance premium.

While the right wing wants the government to punish you if you don't conform to their ideas.
 
The children of the rich should be cut off from the parents' money at age 18. If we have to do it on our own, so must they. Or else they have no right to preach to us about self-reliance.

We outnumber this guillotine-fodder 100 to 1 and can crush them like grapes. It's time to quit whining and start making wine.
 
No, I think this is what the right tells the left that it believes, but I don't see it.

I would not normally categorize anti-abortion advocates, anti-gay-rights advocates, those who want a Christian theocracy, or those who want a locked-down national security state with "our progressive brothers and sisters."

I would, however, put Emerson in that category.

Fuck Off. Don't take this personally, I know it's not you that hates, just the environment that brought you up to hate and despise accomplishment. You can pass the message along to someone who may better break it down for you. ;) Seriously though, the matter you elude to, mass executions like in France, after the Revolution, of Anyone that has more than you, Anyone that can spell, Anyone that can count or add, just because of their intelligence, or that they possess something of worth, is hostile, and illegal. Unalienable Rights are the True Enemy of the Statist Progressive, I guess. Who knew? Besides us? :D

Emerson was a cheap imitation of Thoreau. :D Sorry. Someone had to say it. :D ;)

You realize Separation of Church and State is a Christian concept. You might want to meditate on that.

Thoreau more or less did already. While he was in jail for refusing to pay taxes that paid for the Mexican War, Emerson visited him and ask "What are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied, "What are YOU doing out THERE?"

It's a concept emerging from the teachings of Christ ("Give to Caesar that which is Caesar's, give to God that which is God's"). That does not make it a Christian concept. In fact, it often makes it just the opposite.

The problem isn't a single mother with brain cancer. It's with college educated lazy potheads who lay in the street and imagine their needs are equal to the single mother with cancer.

So why are you just sitting there behind your computer, Joan of Arc?
 
This from the party of voter fraud that has to cheat to get elected (bush) and now is passing laws to keep possible Dem voters away from the polls.

The same party who refuses to buy their own health insurance and favors the Repub passed SOCIALIST law that makes it possible for them to free medical care and force the rest of us to pay for it.

The same party that demands we kowtow to their beliefs about religion, abortion, marriage, wanting to pass lots and lots of laws to take RIGHTS away from those with whom they disagree.

The Repubs SAY they favor smaller government but they lie. What they want is bigger and bigger and more expensive government.

Posters here are fond of citing ancient history because they believe it somehow supports their opinion du Jour. But, we don't have to go very far back in our own history to see the difference between left and right.

For the most part, the left believes in Live and Let Live.

The right believes we're being bad and must be saved from ourselves. And, by gawd, they're willing to spend all the tax money they can get their grubby hands on in order do exactly that. If they could, they'd send trucks out to haul us to church.

"self reliant" - That's the absolute opposite of the GObP/Repubs/teabagger party. They have their hands in our pockets and they're ready to pass the most medieval laws in order to control us.

It was breast cancer. She was working and, thanks to ObamaCare, the insurance company couldn't turn her down.

Breast cancer, health insurance and an apology to President Obama - latimes.com

Its the pubs who refuse to pay their own health insurance premiums.

I think it's more People paying over priced Premiums because of the Freebee's. It that any fairer? I don't think so. When you find yourself out of work, those Premiums take on a whole different taste, don't they?

Universal Health Care. That would solve a bunch of problems. You have your insurance, no matter what. And that solves the financial problems of Medicare and Mediaid.

From the examples of the other industrial nations, it would also lower the cost of health care for the whole nation. And we would have better care and health statistics.

Most millionaires are self made. Indeed many started out homeless.

Are you advocating for the violent overthrow of the government of the United States of America? Got tried of that pesky life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness thing, eh.

It'll never work because it would require that everyone Pay Their Fair Share and the republicans refuse to pay their share AND they demand that we all protect the ultra rich from paying their fair share which amounts to $56 per thousand over the amount of $1mil.

Yep, that's it. That's what the pubs are protecting and what they demand we pay for.

Repubs = The REAL Welfare State of the US. Get busy and pay for their share.
