"President Bush will be well thought of for trying to reform social security."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. It's Obvious Some Republicans Want To Dismantle The Welfare State

Grover Norquist said he wants to shrink government to the size so it can fit in a bathtub...

[EVDebs]

5. It used to be Marxist/Leninists trying to 'wither away the state'...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. I Like The Marx Quote...

After the state withers away man can be a fisherman in the morning, a worker in the afternoon, and a philosopher at night...

[EVDebs]

13. But the 'state' is US ! People that is. Us people ain't going witherin'

away anytime soon, unless Bush's guestworkers decide to take over completely !

12. I Always Thought About How Much Libertarianism And

Marx's withered away state had in common...

The big difference is that society had to go through several stages to get there to address the inequalities caused by capitalism...


Libertarians want to skip the stages and lock in the inequalities..

[Placebo]

3. Wait a minute...

4. I refused to take part in the Buchanan petting of yesterday,

because I knew he'd bite us all in the ass.

He. Is. Our. Enemy. Even when he says what we want to hear.

8. Pat Buchanan is so annoying and

not all men are annoying. Some are dead.

11. I get scared when I agree with Buchanan

But then he says something stupid and then I'm okay.

14. Read his "Suicide by free trade" and you have the same reaction

"Indeed, if the issue is jobs, Republicans ought to be thrown out. For not only are they not creating them, they have no idea how to stop exporting them. In their hearts, some of them think it a good thing. They are like the doctors of old who sincerely believed bleeding the patient was the way to get rid of the disease because that is what their textbooks and wise men told them."

I understand that Bush, after four years in office now, has yet to create a 'net' job. Unbe-freaking-lievable !

15. Like I said yesterday

He is Sybilesque.

I prefer Charlie Reese if I'm going to listen to a Conservative. Charlie is at least not Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
