Political Preference

[b.k. barunt]

According to happysadfun, "Joe McCarthy was a great american patriot". I was starting to take your spiel halfway serious til you wrote that. No one could be that stupid. Anarchist is right - it is time for the guillotine.

it is time for the guillotine.

I prefer gladiatorial games.

I am conservative:

I believe that the nation is important ad greater than any one person.

I believe that the right of citizens to bear arms is essential.

Religion is an important part of society. Without religion there is almost never ethics or morals.

Capitalism is the best economic system, because it allows you to keep what you earn rather than to spread it equally between people who work hard and people who are lazy.

The misery of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, and the blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. (Eloquent version of what I just said.)

A nation trying to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to pull himself up by the handles.

There is a major difference between right and wrong, and the wrong should usually be outlawed. The best use of governmental powers is to outlaw things that people shouldn't do and to promote things that people should do.

Joe McCarthy was a great American patriot.

Crime should be punished swiftly and justly. Murder should be punishable by death, attempted murder by life in prison, and other crimes according to how badly they affect society, how badly they affect the victim, and how badly they affect the nation.

Protesting is almost always useless.

if anything religion shows us the best examples of unmorality

i think our surroundings teach us morals,our teachers in life show us morals.ourselves decide what morals we follow

Never heard of it, please explain.

They probably meant immoral seing how they were referring to the negative side of morality.

And I would like to ask Jesse, do you honestly believe there has ever been capitalism without State interference? Or that it would be possible to break down all States? I tend to think of mercantilism as an old economic system where the government made decisions in their own interest and tried to force the businesses under them to comply. Capitalism has become the reverse, businesses acting in their own interest and trying to keep the government from infringing.

The ExxonValdez case just got half the penalty withdrawn

I think it is wrong to say that government and corporations today are inherently dependant on each other and always working together. Not all power rests in their hands. You call people slaves but they are willing to accept their low stations for many reasons. It isn't all control going on in the world.
