It's not like the US has a relatively low population density or anything. No, if there is ever a problem, it has to be due to a lack of regulations.

"If you enjoy paid time off, or a fair wage, or paid vacation time. or workplace standards, or overtime, or a middle class status then thank a union, because a corporation would have never allowed these to exist. Be careful in what you ask for, eliminate the wage standard and you will find yourself working for pennies too. I already see it. The nursing field was once the field to go in because of nice wages. Now that these corporations are eliminating unions power to collective bargaining we are finding nursing wages are dropping and dropping fast. I told my wife when she became a RN that nurses will be working for pennies in 25 years or so, and it is certainly going that way. The older you get the bigger a liability you become. I have full faith most in this country will not waste their time being a nurse when it won`t pay any better than the grocery store clerk does. The reason there are no jobs is because those who have the money to create these jobs are not because of the Muslim Marxist in the oval office. It is that simple. You watch, as soon as the Muslim Marxist is ousted investments in job making will start to boom. I`ll bet a $100 bill on that one to any of you that want to take that bet."

Yes, because corporations never pay one penny above MW; because none of the safety standards or vacation time or other benefits happen in non-union companies; because your anecdote trumps supply and demand; and because Obama doesn't have his nose firmly up the rears of the unions. Riiiight...

I've come to the conclusion that Alex Jones CANNOT be for real. He HAS to be the world's biggest Poe, coming up with all sorts of crap to see what his audience will swallow and laughing about it when the microphones are off.

Yeah, I've seen that video before. Alex Jones is completely worthless as far as I'm concerned.

Saw this in the comments of the Abramovitch piece.

The society you seem to have such disdain for raised and educated you and kept you safe (schools, museums, hospitals, police, fire, etc.) and now you want to live in it without pitching in for the upkeep? Basically, if you live through your childhood in this country, you have a responsibility to give something back...you owe it to future generations to prepare the way for them just as it was prepared for you. Unless you were raised by a pack of wolves and self-educated from a set of Encyclopedia Britannica found in the woods, you owe *something* to society. Even if you ran off to live in the woods alone raising your own veggies and hunting for game, you'd still have a societal safety net of public services standing by to assist you if you should ask for help.

Love the NEA shout-out , by the way, that or NASA must be in every anti-government rant lately....how come the billions-per-week we're spending in Iraq and Afghanistan isn't the first issue? The NEA would barely pay for the port-o-potties in the green zone. I have no problem with whittling away a bit at government spending and government involvement in people's lives, but I'd rather there were more "big picture" thinkers involved in making those decisions, rather than the "special interest death match" every small-government proponent seems to be in favor of.

So children who have no means to get out of such a system are automatically in debt to it. That only seems like further reason to believe that the state is performing a massive screw job.

There are times where I find myself frustrated... Truly trapped by the limitations of language. There are so many words for expressing the various states on the human emotional expression. At times, it can be difficult when it feels like these emotions cannot be expressed.

I say this because I know of no word in the English language to express what I feel at watching that clip. Oh, sure, I can describe aspects of it, such as despair, dumbfounded, revulsion, etc... but none seems quite strong enough. I can't conceive how any combination of words would accurately express my reaction to that microcosm of lunacy/stupidity/idiocy/arrogance/ignorance/etc/etc.

I am, quite literally, at a loss for words.

Funny, I give them my personal anecdote of how minimum wage made my life hell trying to break into the market and they blow it off.  Spent over a year and couldn't get a regular job.  More experienced people ALWAYS muscled in on me and I couldn't compete.  If I had the option to undercut them, it would have made things much easier.

Only serves to reinforce Wayne Allen Root would be a death sentence for the Libertarian Party

Nice to see somebody downgraded my bogometer already...

Geez, full of himself much?

Wait...so he would keep all the "good" parts of Reagan (presumably his rhetoric, which is libertarian) and get rid of the "bad" parts, which are the parts that aren't libertarian, and this make it libertarian-conservative fusion?

Sounds like a lame attempt to appeal to traditionally conservative voters if you ask me.

Also for Wayne Allen Root, why is a "Libertarian-Conservative" hybrid any more viable than a "Libertarian-Liberal" hybrid

On another forum I go to, someone made a thread about Don't Ask, Don't Tell being repealed. This pile of idiocy was thrown on the thread.

Honestly, I could careless if they were gay or not that is their problem...just don't tell me and I won't ask. Long as you are fighting for the same thing I am and we have each others back...even though gayness is wrong in my eyes.
