Small Government Bullshit

[Listening]

Small governmetn was fine when the constitution was framed when a chicken or a bushel of corn paid doctor bills and and horses were transportation and most everyone had farm, and the population in 1787 was a fraction of the size of calif. Large population called for large government. What do we have taxes to pay for now that we did not have in 1787?

Only a dumbass on the left could come up with a statement like that.

The Purpose of Government

If politicos in Washington won’t start the debate, people outside the Beltway should. The first question voters should ask candidates is, what is government for? This matters, though no one in Washington thinks in those terms. In Congress the first question usually is, what do my constituents/favored interest groups/contributors want? That’s why liberal doves like weapons constructed in their districts and fiscal conservatives support social spending in their districts.

The more sophisticated answer from the “anything goes” crowd is that government is to help people, provide opportunity for the disadvantaged, ensure equality, protect health and safety, etc., etc. All of these have the advantage of sounding desirable while being ambiguous enough to justify subsidizing almost anything.

The right answer should be to provide the framework of a free society, to perform those tasks that are necessary and can only be handled both collectively and coercively by government. That’s all. These duties are important, indeed critical, but quite limited. No National Endowment for the Arts. No Commerce Department. No Energy Department. Obviously we can argue at the margin, but we should be able to agree: No endless soup line for the well-connected.

Seconded.

Right...Because we all know that if Big Daddy Big Gubmint doesn't do those things, nobody will.

What façile-minded dreck....No wonder Gilligan lent his face to it.

 

[buckeye45_73]

Look liberals need the government to program them. Look at Bloomburg, he's saving New York from the big gulp. Maybe the maffia can get into 20 oz soda rackets to replace that prohibition income.

 

[teapartysamurai]

Seconded.

Rachel Madow?

MSNBC? Too "informed" to be a Republican?

Yeah Whatever!

Maddow was soooooooooooooo informed, she got it completely wrong on the Walker Recall!

And that isn't the only thing Maddow has been COMPLETELY STUPID ON:

Too informed to be a Republican????????? Don't you mean too stupid? The woman dim bulb!

after watching those, did she lick a frog when she thought it was something else?

Small government was fine then, and it's fine now. There's nothing about a larger population that requires a government that consumes a larger percentage of the GDP. There's only the greed of politicians dispensing swag to their toadies and bootlickers.

 

[Papageorgio]

You are still really sick.

And in other news, fucked in the head, in a serious fashion.

I'm not the one defending the pedophile rapist Polanski.

Did she defend his pedophilia incident?

If not, and she was defending him as a director, then it's no different from you defending the AWOL, cocaine-snorting Bush as a President.

But the admitted coke head in power is better?

 

[bayoubill]

I wanna see Maddow and that other horsy-faced dyke, Coulter, square off in a jello pit...

with the winner having Joy Behar performing oral sex on her...

 

[buckeye45_73]

Why anyone would listen to anything that ugly dyke has to say is beyond me.

Do you judge what people say by how they look?

The Founding Fathers were not a bunch of Chippendales, you know...


I think you're just a retard.

Apparently so. UNLESS they are Meghan McCain. Then they go off because she's not fringe right enough.

OH please Megan McCain is a liberal pos. She's a major RINO and tries to get in with the cool kids (ie gay loving liberals) by spouting stuff.

 

[buckeye45_73]

Seconded.

Well the founders werent promoting gay marriage either. Look you know the golden rule. Lesbians are only accepted if they are hot and if not, go away.

Do you feel that a pedophile rapist who is on the run from justice should be arrested or do you find the idea of arresting this pedophile rapist outrageous and philistine, like Beckinsale and co?

so gay.

Gee, I wish somebody would say something new. I have nobody to respond to in this thread, since it's all one big FECAL (Fox Echo Chamber Angry Listener) chorus.

You really are a pathetic coward who can't deal with the truth. Pretty sad.

 

[Artevelde]

Seconded.

I listen to anybody regardless of their looks or sexual orientation. And I honestly say what I think of their opinion (in this case complete nonsense).

 

[Artevelde]

Seconded.

This will forever be a source of hypocrisy and inconsistency for conservatives, where they advocate expanding the power and role of government into Americans’ private lives.

The right’s opposition to privacy rights with regard to abortion, their opposition to equal protection rights with regard to same-sex couples’ access to marriage law, and their opposition to due process rights for all persons in the United States will continue to undermine republicans’ claim to want ‘small government.’

If you actually believe this partisan nonsense yourself that's pretty sad for you.

 

[Artevelde]

No. But they would have done what they could to make sure the fringe types didn't wind up running the asylum.

I think the fringes are running the asylum....and that's not a condemnation of only the dems. The R's have their own freak show.

I'm surprised you noticed.

Unlike you, some people are not hypocrites.

 

[Artevelde]

If this thread has shown anything, it is that some people are so completely hypocritical and devoid of moral sense that they feel they have to refuse to face up to the fact that some of their idols defend pedophile rapists as long as they are the right kind of pedophile rapists. Pretty sad.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Seconded.

Seriously? Is that supposed to be hard?

Guess what, even liberals know that too much government is bad, why else would they point out that higher minimum wage laws mean teens don't get jobs?
