I am fine to get rid of all of them

So you are a libertarian socialist?

Libraries, public roads, heath care, military, government, public water works ect get rid of it all, 

Interestingly enough when a society moves to a state of anarchy more cooperative and communal groups arise.

Which is  referred to by  chomskey and others as libertarian socialism.

I wonder if all those railing against  government are willing to live in a communal society once it's gone?

I would how bout you?

    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

What's frustrating about Trump vs. Biden is that clearly we have a left leaning media.  You can hate Trump all you want but he wasn't given a fair shake at all.  The media is controlled by Liberal elites and they do whatever they can to prop Biden up.   There is clearly an agenda throughout the media to divide us as a nation.  They want this country to be run by identity politics and CRT.  It's really sad.  They did everything in their power to tear Trump down rather than to show us what's going on.  

Look at how they handled Trump walking slowly down a wet ramp vs Biden actually falling not once but three times just going up the AF1 stairs.  They wanted Trump out of office because of his slow walk....yet they defend Biden falling because of the wind.

I can't defend everything Trump did but I know that I don't care what the man tweeted either.  As a middle class American, the important things to me are pretty simple.  Let me take home as much as my salary as possible.  Keep America first in policies you push.  Keep America safe with the best interests in our country.  Trump was able to look at things such as the UN where the United States was pretty much there to fund the organization and saw we aren't footing the bill anymore.

I'm also struggling to find one good thing that Biden has done in his short time.  The great uniter seems to be doing the complete opposite.   He lies the same if not more than Trump, just the media doesn't fact check every word he says like they did for Trump.  He very well could have settle the Georgia election debacle but still on a national stage lied about polling times continually calling it worse than Jim Crow.  

I really would like to hear a Biden supporter tell me one thing he's done that benefits you and me.  

I also think that us Republicans and Democrats are closer to the middle than led to believe but again, it goes back to the media trying to divide us.  It's really sad to see.  Just like my Eagles fandom, I try to have an open mind and look at big picture things when it comes to our political landscape and it's just hard to do right now.

Yup, there were quite a few games where our favorite players/coaches just came up small.

Who is you? Middle class is $40-50 to $105-20K a year, if you make more than $120K, you shouldn't call yourself "middle class."

Cable TV isn't news, but Fox is far worse than MSNBC and CNN when it comes to "alternative facts." Which is why Fox is embroiled in billion dollar lawsuits.

Newspapers are pretty solid, ignore the editorial pages (which are opinion) and the news isn't much different between the Washington Post, NYT and the WSJ. That's because the people who read elite newspapers want real news b/c they make big money decisions off that news. So slant the news, and lose your readership.

What is America First? Destroy alliances that have benefited us for 50 years? Trade deals that reduce wealth on both sides (trade isn't a zero sum game)?

How do you keep America safe? Piss off people you need cooperation from to identify and neutralize threats before they reach our soil? Encouraging far right terrorists?

The UN has no power, little influence, its value is behind the scenes where diplomats can talk off the record and keep the lines of communication open. It's a nothing burger.

The stimulus package will provide a safety net that benefits most Americans and kick start the economy, if you're in the top 10% in income, go F---k off, you're not America. You've done just fine while the rest of the country suffered. So stop whining. Accelerating COVID vaccinations will speed the recovery and return to normalcy.

The Republican party is now so far from the middle from an historical perspective it's ridiculous, Ronald Reagan would be thrown out of this Republican party, so would both Bushes and most Republican Senators since WWII. 

Oh look... more politics.  

 

 

Here's a simple retort to ALL of you.    You are ALL wrong, and none of you is right.  Now, argue about football.   Take the rest of the crap to CVON.

I've ignore the rest of the political crap but this is the dumbest post of all time....that was my(and every taxpayers) money to start with. Only socialist part is the people who got money that didn't pay any taxes. God people are stupid.

Property is theft.

Property is a legal right, created by government, which sets the rules defining property rights and legal market transactions.

Without government, property is seized by the strongest, and social wealth is greatly reduced (and social conflict becomes interminable). Wanna live in the Middle Ages? We'd all be serfs (95% of the population).

There are no inalienable rights, all rights are created by law, at the point of a sword or gun.

Read history.

Funny, Trump only became a racist when entered politics and became a president from the Republican party.  The Hollywood liberals and athletes and hip hop artists and politicians and everyone else had no issues with him or considered him prior. 

Trump was the only real independent president we have had in our lifetimes.  Now we are straight back to the same garbage we have had for decades.

Yeah, I think they are. 

For some reason they just don't seem to want to give Hurts a shot at the job.  This thing with the masseuses might force them to though.

I think he was - who do you think it was - AJ Green?

It says prospect. I remember the talking heads saying AJ Green was a better prospect then Julio before the 2011 draft. And honestly if it wasn’t for going to the Bengals he would have probably had a way better career then he did. Not saying he would have been better than Julio has been though.

Was really bummed to find out McGrone tore his ACL this season. I had no idea until a week ago. I hope we can get him in round 4 because of it.

Then who is going to take care of terminal cancer patients or patients who aren’t expected to do well?  

The better question is why waste valuable resources on terminal patients? We spend far too much on end of life care

If you agree with Chomsky that confirms all i meed to know about you.

its a false dichotomy between socialism and anarchy. We are not anarchists. We are individualists. Collectivism is the refuge of the weak and fearful.

I don't think most of these guys last to round 3.  McGrone may not have the coverage skills for Gannon's scheme and tore his acl late December.

Bernie is an extremely weak pushover individual. Another career politician who has made himself very wealthy but accomplished nothing.  

How much is " VERY WEALTHY " humor us will you ?

It's not " Between" socialism or anarchy it's that history has shown, limited history at that mind you, that in the presence of anarchy humans tend to move toward as you say collective society.

Collectivism while yes is the refuge of the weak and fearful it also allows for survival, arguing other wise would be arguing against millions of years of hominid evolution.

No one came from nothing, everyone is the product of everyone else and those that came before us and we're all connected including our environment.

Haven't you ever watched ferngully or avatar sheesh😉too busy reading ayn rand I guess😒
