I don't know.  I don't dislike government.  In fact I think government has a vital role in setting the rules of the game.  That said, I think that governments tend to overstep that role.  

Perfect world: 

  • Government provides common defense ...not "national interests", but legit, if we face aggression at home, we defend ourselves.
  • Government provides infrastructure (inclusive of utilities)
  • Government provides healthcare
  • Government provides education
  • Government provides regulatory environment
  • Government protects the borders and issues visas
  • Government sets tax rates
  • Government sets basic laws that 99% of sane people can agree on (IE no killing other people, no stealing from people, No diddling kids, etc)

Then...

  • Government stays the fuck out of my life

 

Sooooo what Democrats have been preaching for decades?

Ironically, a bunch of Christofascist, mostly Catholic, assholes has co-opted the term "common good" for a scheme that achieves just that -- provided you think common good is defined by a bunch of Christofascist assholes.

All of the arguments we have boil down to what it means to infringe upon rights and whose rights are favored.  An example that isn’t politically loaded: 

1. Surely you would say that I have a right to enjoy German polka music. In fact, I have a right to enjoy German polka music at any time I prefer. And I should be able to listen at any volume I prefer. 
 

2. But maybe you live next door and want to have the right to not listen to blaring German polka at all hours of the night.  And you can’t do that during my Wednesday night German polka rave. 
 

Neither one of us are morally wrong. Both of us have legitimate claims to be exercising our rights.  We are going to have to introduce a referee with the power to enforce standards and compromises. 
 

We can do this the normal way, with a government. Or the stupid libertarian way which will end with us arming an HOA and claiming it’s not a government because we don’t call it that. 

Yes, once the German Polka Music reaches my ears you are violating my rights.

But having a volume, or time rule is different from saying you can't ever listen to German Polka in your home at a level that doesn't reach my house.  

Just as if I use drugs in my house, it's none of your business, but if I use drugs in my house then come bang on your door at 4am, while high, is a violation of your rights.

Their messaging has definitely shifted that direction in the past 10-15 years, but the proof hasn't shown up in the pudding when they've been in office.  Frankly, I don't trust either political party to actually change the status quo.

Too much money at stake.

Why shouldn't I?  I've paid my taxes just like the idiot gun owner who accidentally shoots himself in the foot while cleaning his gun.

Congrats, you are not a libertarian and you are here with normal people having a pragmatic discussion on how to use politics and compromise to balance citizens’ competing rights and interests while ensuring the protection of core civil and human rights against majority overreach.  We call that being a Liberal.

Yeah, basically I just don't like paying taxes for imperialism, and a never-ending drug war.

Just now, David Dennison said:

That's a different topic in my mind.  There shouldn't be people who are able to work yet can't make enough to pay taxes.  That falls under the "regulatory" responsibility of the government.  I believe in a maximum wage.

Those who can't work, should be taken care of by the state.  IMO, our homeless problem can be largely attributed to lack of funding for mental institutions, and income disparity.  Both of which would be taken care of in Dixon's Republic.

Y'all lawyers don't even believe in the underlying principles of your own profession. Ethics is a moving target based on who you are advocating for and little else. That is all quite clear. The projection of all that taints this board given the disproportionate representation here. 

What are you so mad about? You don’t have to pretend that you care about things like morality and ethics anymore! That’s the whole point of voting for your boy!

You insist that you're not a Trumper, while supporting/excusing him with more consistency than even many of the MAGAts I know.  That you fail to see it - or just deny it - is another layer of fascinating.

In one of his first moves as president yesterday, Trump had the official portrait of Milley removed from the hall in the Pentagon where portraits of all previous chairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are displayed—all, now, except Milley.

This dolt Trump reaches new lows as a weak kneed pussy every damn day.

But, but the children are gone and the adults are back in charge, so I’ve read around here somewhere.

That’s sounds liberal to me. You’re not going around caping for the establishment of a lawless, weirdo-kleptocrat oligarchy because a Democrat did something you didn’t like.

The Office of Personnel Management is shutting down all DEI programs and putting employees on administrative leave in preparation for a Reduction in Force.  We can argue that, and have opinions, but the fact is that absent a ruling or act of Congress, this is something within the executive’s power to do and this executive told people he would do it. 
 

The disturbing part here is Annex I.  It directs ALL employees— whether they worked on DEI or not— to rat out colleagues who have been and who lawfully and within the scope of directions might have reframed DEI activities in advance of the new admin.  It promises no consequences for reporting but adverse consequences if you were aware but do not.

This is Soviet shit. Placing the onus of reporting on everyone, introducing vague consequences that can be dangled over everyone’s head, direct people to find your political enemies for you rather than doing the bureaucratic work yourself.  This is dark, and it’s normalizing repressive behavior.  This is not asking employees to have an affirmative duty to report law breaking or security risks or violations of rules.

So MAGATs are going to celebrate the first jobs report under dotard when it shows an uptick in unemployment, right?

Just like they will when the O&G layoffs start hitting. They'll be so tired of winning. They'll come to him with tears in their eyes and say, "Please, sir. We can't win anymore!"

She, literally, pleaded for him to be what Christ preached and he, of course, rips her and takes the opposite position.  You know the opposite of what Christ said Christians should do.  And all the "Christians" who support him will 100% back what he says.

@Frank Drebin Christians love to live their lives directly opposing Christian ideals.
