at once saying that the socialist ideal is untainted and that government is evil seems a bit twisted in itself. perhaps you've missed the concept that this evil government is the all controlling force behind that lofty mechanism of change. everyone has grand ideals, the trick is to find a workable and ethical means to attain those goals. socialism is found lacking on both of those points. after witnessing the utter failure of the soviet model and the evolution of china's decades long experiment into the early stages of capitalism, europe's tired empires have attempted a hybrid model and are finding that even this is a path to bankruptcy and mediocrity. face it, the marxist model works only among a people so beaten down into peonage that mere starvation seems a treat and the simple loosening of their chain is enough to cause euphoria. humanity is deserving of so much better, the individual is capable of so much more than the herd.

I find it funny the tea baggers are clamoring for their unemployment benefits too.

Exactly. 'Untainted' didn't refer in any way to any actual system of belief, only the individualist one I have in my head. All forms of government are failures--as Oscar Wilde says, democracy is simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people, and has been found out. I like how you mentioned earlier the 'lie of the ballot box.' Some entirely new form of government is needed, and unlike what most typically assume, no I'm not advocating more government control. What sane and informed person could want that?

admittedly, there is an element of failure in every system. perfection is nowhere to be found, it would signal the end should it ever be attained. the aim is to approach ever closer and to gain, with each step, some glimmer of enlightenment. the puling mob descends back into chaos, the tyranny of the oppressive state enabling their pointless rage. all mobs are pointless and all governments tyrannical.

that glint in the distance is the self-governance of the individual and each step we take should be toward that light. these wasted backward paces, burying us in slavery and peonage to the state, cannot lead us there and are an affront to the journey.

of course your scared of the tea party.....thats why you attack them and talk about them constantly. And the fact that they are destroying Obama and his media lapdogs with their weak ass attempts to whitewash the news. Info flows way to fast nowadays and even the mainstream media can't keep up with it.

Meanwhile, after all the crying we heard from the lefty pussies who apparently cant throw a punch or take one for that matter, an actual arrest has been made regarding threats.

The Tea Party is as phony as Sarah Palin. Like that quitter would know the first thing about running a real government. And the rest of the Party hacks are just another bunch of users. This party will go absolutely nowhere. Its like a fart in a tempest. :D
