[FSBlueApocalypse]

So, why does one Jacksonville city councilman feel the need to outlaw the city's thriving food truck industry?

Brown said he wanted better clarification after seeing one business sell food out of a single axle trailer without a city license.

Yet another sad testament to our failing school system: people not being able to differentiate between capitalism and fascism.

Now, I tried to like this guy on DA for posting this (not a fail):  zucca-xerfantes.deviantart.com/journal/ObamaCare-now-has-a-death-toll-436429663
But after seeing this shitstain in his favorites:  http://zucca-xerfantes.deviantart.com/art/Pseudo-scientific-comparison-425851049
I figured him to be just another conservatard.  If Romney was elected and pulling this crap like he did as Governor of his state, this pillock would be looking the other way and roaring for more support of his wars.  Just like they did with Bush.  Because as we all know, it only counts when the other side does it.

In a discussion group on Facebook that i'm a part of.

Ancient Greeks would feel insulted if they knew we were comparing them to Americans. One key thing, idiots, otherwise apolitical or indifferent people in athens weren't given right to vote,most importantly, slaves didn't have right to vote. American model is a britney spears type democracy, its a monocracy or slavocracy in other words. in such a system shit like capitalism flourishes and no wonder, sick + sick = great lol

The Constitution is not meant for us, you moron!

[MrBogosity]

So, since the Constitution hasn't been changed to allow the Federal government to do things like drone strikes, NSA spying, health care, and the War on Drugs, Congress should be governed by it and "basically consent" to it? Great! Glad we agree!

5. Trickle-down economics works

Not too many jobs are being created these days, even though corporate profits are at record heights. Perhaps the most widely accepted (even by Democrats) of the lies right-wing media have perpetuated is that we all prosper when the rich get richer.

Fewer taxes for corporations and individuals, along with lax market oversight, have entrenched us in the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Research from Mark Rank at Washington University indicates 54% of Americans will experience poverty or near poverty in their lifetimes.

Those high "corporate profits" haven't exactly been deturred with all of the corporate bailouts the Fed has been handing out in gratis (with most of them having been handed out in secret by the trillions!). If the article were merely about cutting corporate welfare like that, I would agree with them, but they have to add the bogons "fewer taxes for corporations" and "lax market oversight"--both of which fly in the face of observable reality! Not only does America have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, but contrary to popular misconeption, federal regulations have been on the sharp increase!

I'm going to call bluff on American Atheists here. This seems more like a publicity stunt than an actual attempt to bring atheists into conservatism. I understand that many atheists are conservatives, but I highly doubt any of the atheists at AA are of that political bent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't David Silverman a Democrat? If that's the case, then CPAC did not oppose his group for being atheist, they opposed it for being liberal!

Then again, the only good thing about CPAC is Ron and Rand Paul (whom have consistently won the staw polls each year!) Other than that, it's a neocon circus tent.

That's not what's said in the article:

When CPAC spoke to Silverman about this "divisive and inappropriate language," Snyder said, "he pledged that he will attack the very idea that Christianity is an important element of conservatism."

"People of any faith tradition should not be attacked for their beliefs, especially at our conference. He has left us with no choice but to return his money," she said.

So simply saying "You don't need to be a Christian to be a conservative" is, according to Meghan Snyder, attacking people "for their beliefs."

And then there's bullshit like this:

But revoking American Atheists' booth wasn't enough to appease some conservative groups angered by the invitation itself.

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell said that revoking the booth "makes no difference" and is urging all conservative groups to withdraw entirely from CPAC.

"American Atheists is an organization devoted to the hatred of God. How on earth could CPAC, or the ACU and its board of directors, and Al Cardenas condone such an atrocity?" Bozell said in a statement.

Sounds to me like it's not AA that has the problem!

I understand that many atheists are conservatives

I know a HUGE amount of liberal atheists, I know a bunch of libertarianism and anarcho capitalist atheists, but the only 'atheist conservative' I ever knew was CapnOAwesome on YouTube before he closed his account, and even then, he leaned more towards libertarianism.

Then again, the only good thing about CPAC is Ron and Rand Paul (whom have consistently won the staw polls each year!) Other than that, it's a neocon circus tent.

Rand Paul has long since betrayed libertarians, so I don't know what you mean there.

Yet another reason why I don't call myself an anarchist...

Yet another reason why I don't call myself an anarchist...

It's also why I call myself an anarcho capitalist.  To differentiate between these fucktards.  The logic (as proven by Stefan and Hawkeye and no doubt others) is that anarchism is but a logical consequence/conclusion of capitalism--free trade without interference/force from uninvolved outside parties.  Simple.  Would it kill these guys to learn how to check a dictionary?  And yeah, these are also the same idiots who say "You libertarians stole that word from us; it used to mean anarcho communist!" and use oxymorons like "libertarian socialist" to describe themselves.

That's just it: basically this guy says that anarchism means "without rulers" (which it does), but then he goes on about how we shouldn't have free and voluntary exchange! Well, HOW'S HE GOING TO STOP IT??? Doesn't he need rulers to do that?
