Regardless of Rand we are there! As much as I agree with this statement I disagree with much of which she stands for.

what total gobbledygook - he had no idea what socialism is. It's unfortunate, but in the end the Southerners have won.

Stupid statement

Oops - good one Archer

Yes, indeed! it may happen sooner than you think. Why do you think the government/military is desperately trying to disarm the people.

Isn't that an oxymoron? to find an unwise judge is easy its the wise one's that are difficult to find.

Corporate, right-wing, fascism here we come... Don't worry you Fox, Beck, fans socialism is way out there in another galaxy - yes, we have corporate socialism which is one step away from right-wing fascism. Unless of course the people can bring about a true liberal democrat nation and that may take some serious hardship.

My point precisely

Reston, what I think is meant is that the more words we have to abide by (law and authority) the more they are used by those very people who wish to subjugate us. Municipalities love the written word it gives them power over their fiefdom. Insurance companies love the written word as it give them an out in paying claims. Attorney's live by the written word of past judgments. The written word is used to suppress our freedom. Throw out the law books and religious icons (books) and let's start again with a blank page and only allow any future law to be on ONE page.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. Leonardo da Vinci

So when you aunt or uncle is stricken with a deadly disease you just let them die?

In case you didn't know the elderly are not so elderly when it comes to longevity - America is behind Europe on so many health quality issues its a joke. Obviously you do not check your facts.

Ken an Carlton, read your history books, it was the liberals that set you free, perhaps you would prefer the cave you came from.

Ken, there you go again - a typical GOP trick called projectionism

Another great quote - you can't love others without first loving yourself. Love your self first knowing your faults then you have chance to correct them. Though you obey order of law you can be free from their dictates. A slave can be free even under the yoke of oppression and the dictates of others. You pay involuntary taxes for hundreds of things, like schools, our roads, waste management, the military (that alone takes up 40% of my taxes), and the police; why single out Medicare and the SS - you lot from the south don't you have any compassion? Sorry, I promised not to get personal, I take that back.

Beautiful quote - that's one for the books. Let us also free those bound by ignorance and intolerance so they too will see the footprints of their brother.

I agree with that! We must also rule out the current form of funding politicians coffers - there lies the greed and corruption that's got us into this mess.

Well done Waffler - we just need Obama to divorce himself from corporate America. The ONLY solution to the mess we are in is simply "CAMPAIGN REFORM" Any money or gifts from lobbyists or corporation into the hands and coffers of politicians is an automatic prison sentence.

Yes, Carlton, you are right, but its becoming more dictatorial and we all know where that leads us...

Roosevelt was Americas chance to have true world recognition and you blew it!

As the 1983 American Heritage Dictionary noted, fascism is: A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism. I believe this definition is close to the mark.

Its absolutely laughable how you all use the word fascism and plaster on anything you dislike. Fascism is a marriage between nationalism, suppression through terror, and state above the individual, We will only have Fascist Socialism once we have had the above and that's not to far away - Fascism can be left or right - it apposes democracy and liberalism.

Why are America self destructive don't they see the very people they elect are the one's who hang them out to dry... I'm always amazed when I see a republican stickers on the back of a trucks. Capitalism is a spiral to destruction.

We seem to be doing a great job of emulation too!

Why do you think that Italians have two sets of books; one is reality and the other for the tax collector - corporate America and the wealthy caught onto that a long time ago.
