The above in mind:



Nope, sorry, but you are NOT anti-state.  If you were an anti-statist, you'd be an anarchist by definition, which you clearly aren't.

In the comments of Shane's latest video (not fail):

I posted the following (not fail):  Geez, Shane, we've got folks like bamboo in the comments saying you're crazy just for even suggesting we lower taxes.
They'd shit if they heard what folks like me, Hawkeye, etc want:  to abolish ALL taxation and abolish ALL government spendin[g].

To which bamboo4tameshigiri replied with (le fail): If you want mad max world, I'm OK with that. I would thrive. If you want a society that makes your gluttonous wealth possible, OTOH...

Translation of bamboo's comment:  1.  The sky would fall without God Gov't.  2.  But *I*, as an internet tough guy would be fine, you on the other hand, would be dead meat even though I have never met you and have no clue who you are, or what you are capable of, and should be grateful my glorious, honorable and infallible cult leaders give you vast wealth by robbing you of yours; you ungrateful gluttonous bastard .

From the same video's comment section:

"America has Waaay less crime than European countries and its BECAUSE they incarcerate more criminals. Look up "clearance rate" and stop spreading this lie that we can judge the amount of crime by the number of people in jail." --interstate317

(Boldface for emphasis added by me.)

Good lord....

Every sane person knows that criminals , broadly speaking, fall into two categories as far as deterrence goes:  Those than can be deterred (usually because they're making a calculated decision to commit the crime) and those that cannot be deterred (because they are NOT making a calculated decision to commit the crime, because they're crazy, or very stupid, or ignorant, or desperate, or similar problems).  What deters the deter-able is not primarily the severity of punishment, but the likelihood of punishment.  A 75% chance of getting 5 years in prison is usually a much better deterrent than a 0.01% chance of being executed.  (For an example of this, Egypt is a good example.  At one point, penalties for drug offenses were made so severe that the police were unwilling to enforce the laws.  The perception of risk, even though it was effectively absent, drove the prices very high, which naturally encouraged more drugs to be brought in and distributed by more people, resulting in drugs being much more prevalent than before.)

Nice! But come next podcast I'll be doing it with SCIENCE! (ience...ience...ience...ience...)

(And you all thought Rand Paul was a shoo-in for Idiot Extraordinaire...)

Actually I thought Obama was, what with his campaign plans of claiming Romney was an "extreme libertarian."

This ought to be good though.

Nah, he would have been BBE, but Krugman beat him...

[AnCap Dave]

Yeah, that would make sense considering Krugman decided basic concepts of time are meaningless.

An excerpt:

"[America] certainly has a followership problem...Vast majorities of Americans don't trust their institutions...It's mostly because more people are cynical and like to pretend that they are better than everything else around them...To have good leaders you have to have good followers — able to recognize just authority, admire it, be grateful for it and emulate it."

Oh boy....you can smell the statism juice all over this guy's face.

This video by a race surrealist, young earth creationist, Keynesian, Mitt Romney supporter. Hard to believe you can fit that much crazy into one vessel.

He's actually comparing people who are absolutely furious with Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney and calling him a sellout with jingoistic morons who blindly believe the terrorists just hate us for our freedom.
