Do you think Michelle should run for President, so that Barack can still govern unofficially for a third term?
She could appoint him Secretary of State, or could he run as Vice-President? Most of us can't imagine running the country without Barack Obama, considering the mess that was left by the previous President.

From Bloomberg: American Gun Deaths to Exceed Traffic Fatalities by 2015. And before I even started reading, I noticed this little spin:



Notice the long-term trends. It's sad when your fail gets picked up before you say a single word.

From a guy on my message boards.

I'm getting so fucking tired of this holier than thou bullshit from libertarians. It's laughable.

I'm sorry, holier-then-thou? Which of us is claiming that we know what to do with others money better then they do? Which of us is claiming that our ideas are so right that they need to eb enforced at the barrel of a gun?

Actually, no.  He's pretty sane about drug prohibition.  He's also a violent, thieving, racist putz, but I've never heard of a liberal who wasn't.

Racist? that one I havn't noticed. This quote is my favorite.

Freedom from coercion is not a basic human right.

Ugh he's still at it. I don't even know how tor espond to this.

Just because states have done bad things doesn't mean they are inherently evil, inherently morally wrong, or that they shouldn't exist.

I would extend your logic to businesses and capitalists who have ruined thousands of lives, put countless people into debt for their duration of their lives, extorted people through monopolization and manipulation of markets for personal gain. Therefore businesses should not exist. (Notice I'm completely ignoring the benefits businesses and markets have brought just as you have ignored the tremendous benefits of government).

Hey guys. How does this sound in response? for reference. His stuff in bold mine in plain text.

They also did these thigns without consequence and with money extorted form the people without their consent.

Stop conflating capitalism with mercantilism. what business has ever been able to  to extort money without backing form a state? (Corporations and LLC's of any kind are automatically because, being legal entities, they are naturally established and protected by the state.)

extorted people through monopolization and manipulation of markets for personal gain.


How are they able to do this without a state? Monopolies are literally unsustainable  unless they are backed by force. Predatory pricing, collusion and buyng out the competition do not work without some sort of state involvement. How do they manipulate markets without being backed by a state?

Wow this really has to be taken in to context. for refrence my friend is in green and the fail is in red. I'm in blue.

This is true, but if you do not pay your taxes, the authorities will drag you off to spend a great deal of time in a location where you are likely to be raped. You cannot leave, have no weapons to defend yourself, and if you complain, you will probably not be pitied but rather mocked for your misfortune.


I don't think you can call it that [misfortune] when you are deliberately choosing such a future for yourself.

Maybe mocked for your horrible life choices would be a better way to put it?


"HOw are you choosing such a future exactly?"

By repeatedly refusing to pay taxes knowing full well what the consequence is.
