"You are FOR big gov't"... ooh, such a loaded phrase....Those are pretty funny. You are FOR big govt. I see.
There is only one size of gov't and that is big. Gov't is big. We have a huge and complex nation that we live in. Fixing the amount of gov't does not mean it will improve one way or another. So size withstanding... I would like to see an improved gov't. A gov't that represents the people. A gov't which works with a demand-side economic philosophy. A gov't which does not discriminate against sexual orientation, gender, (non)/belief systems, race, creed, or age. A gov't that stays out of our bedroom, women's wombs and drug choices. A gov't that guarantees all citizens the rights to education, healthcare and childcare. A gov't that does not bomb brown skinned nations for their resources. A gov't which is truly representative of the people, not just the elite.
The US gov't is big and it needs to be big to do the job. I would like to see its mandates be carried out in a different fashion.

I am all for the freedom of jackasses, like Jerry Deutsch, to express themselves, therefore, I am Libertarian and take no offense to the media-whore making money working in the oldest profession known to man.

Quoting Edmund Burke seems to suit you..................clueless!
Try Thomas Paine (sans the Glenn Beck nonsense) next time and you will be better off...

Another wanna-be libertarian...
Any libertarian worth their salt will tell you it is a travesty what has happened to their political philosophy...the co-opting of it by the fiscal and social conservatives has been horrific... your scorn for the cartoon strip speaks volumes...
I miss the Libertarian Socialists...they were much more interesting and had more productive ideas to put forward...

Awww, come on partner! We ain't that bad 'round here in these parts. You definitely need to write simplistically with me. I am real slow on the uptake, especially from super smart liberals like yerself.
I particularly like how you end the post with 'Fin'. Is that French or somethin' fancy?
He might be part fish, I hear they have those things called Fin too.

these were a few of buddhadawg's utterances i thought you might agree with rather than call him clueless in response....unless i missed some amount of sarcasm or tongue in cheekness again....i have been doing that a lot lately

I agree with the part about not discriminating and about staying out of our bedroom, women's wombs and drug choices. The part I do not agree with is the big govt. thing. Our govt. is already way too big. I would much rather see it streamlined and run more efficiently. Hell there's a lot I'd like to change but doubtful that's gonna happen so it's pretty much pie in the sky at this point.
Yeah we should definitely have the right to childcare, I am getting tired of paying for food my kids eat, or getting them school supplies or teaching them the value of hard work or how to play nicely with others I really think someone else should do those things for me so I can spend the money on myself.
That has to be one of the least thought out arguments you have made Buddha, you might want to clarify your statement.

No. No. He's Italian.
Or maybe he's just "Artsy."
It doesn't really matter. He's saying cartoonish stereotypes are the way Modern Liberals understand things.
Concepts must be broken down into manageable and oversimplified propaganda they can digest.
