What is America's True Form of Government?

ThinkersAndSinkers Says:

Mar 14, 2012 - Actually, developing your Thinker nature does give one greater awareness. I do not profess to be omniscient. Firstly, Sinkers rely upon ridicule. This is designed to get the object to submit. Mocking with feigned pity...classic. Anyone view this ridicule will know they are in for it next if they step out of line or speak up. Like all coercive philosophies, people will have to be made to fall in line with Socialistic goals. Drop the Libertarian part because we know it doesn't apply. It's a ploy.

ThinkersAndSinkers Says:

Mar 14, 2012 - Read up on the id, ego, super ego construct. Hadn't before. Contrary to the fear-based mind of the Sinker mentality there is no comparison with Thinkers and Sinkers. What this lashing out does is illustrate the reactive and resistant mind of the Sinker mentality. No real surprise. Though like a starving person looking at an unknown food source they will continue to languish until they abandon their judgment and take from the Tree of Life. I put it that way because Spirituality spooks them too.

Mar 26, 2012 - @MsSexySocialist Can u plz help me understand what a 'libertarian socialist" is? That term seems oxymoronic to me as libertarian = freedom, but socialist = dependency. Those two states cannot exist simultaneously.

MsSexySocialist Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - The word "libertarian" was coined by a socialist all the way back in 1857 and for over a century meant "anti-statist/anti-authoritarian socialism" until the word was co-opted by American Right-wingers in the 1950s.It means the abolition of the state, authoritarian institutions, and all concentrations of power that allow for the subordination of one individual to another in favor of a society based upon individual autonomy, free and voluntary assocation, and direct participatory democracy.

joe brown Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Libertarianism originally was the same as anarchism or voluntary association Anarchism = no rulers Socialism (although ambiguous) originally meant that the means of production would be controlled by a cooperative sort of like a democracy Most agree (although confusing) that the rest of society would operate like it does now (with money)Most agree that one would still have all their own possessions And some people would be richer than others based on productivity Does this make sense?

MsSexySocialist Says:

Apr 7, 2012 - It seems you didn't read the next comment I made.The one where I pointed out that the very word "libertarian" was coined by a socialist all the way back in 1857 and was only co-opted by American Right-wingers in the 1950s.For over a century before that it was virtually synonymous with "anarchist" or "anti-statist socialism" - and still is today outside the US and other anglophone countries; particularly Spain and France.Please do some research in future.

MsSexySocialist Says:

Apr 7, 2012 - I'm willing to ignore the condescending sexism at the tail end of that comment but only just.I do promote the ideology itself. The term "libertarian socialism" does not presuppose that the use of the adjective by capitalists is illegitimate, simply that it is the originator of the term. Yet those who are ignorant of the term's origin act as if the inverse is illegitimate.And there's no such thing as "human nature", or at least not fixed human nature.So there's nothing for it to run against.

MsSexySocialist Says:

Apr 7, 2012 - Your assessment of human history runs contrary to virtually everything revealed by evolutionary biology and anthropology.What history shows is that with the progressive accumulation of collective knowledge there is a manifest decline in violence, barbarism, and authoritarianism and a manifest increase in personal freedom - in both the negative and positive sense.If there was such a thing as static "human nature", we'd still be throwing people into arenas and having them kill each other.

Lodatzor Says:

Apr 7, 2012 - Or better yet, as noted by one Havelock Vetinari, still hanging upside down in a tree.

MsSexySocialist Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - What you say is true but, as I pointed out, it's becoming progressively less true.In particular in the last 50 years.You say that having a desire for a better political and economic system is somehow "pie-in-the-sky", that's exactly what was said about each and every progressive thing achieved that we now take for granted; democracy, the end of slavery, women's rights, gay rights ect."The idea that what is must necessarily be is the acid that erodes all visionary thinking"-- Murray Bookchin

Apr 8, 2012 - I disagree people are what they are because they are indoctrinated to be (more or less)If you lock a child up with dogs for his life and restrict all other interactions this child will act like a dog, humans are born with very few natural innate instincts maybe 10% at most But if you lock a dog up with humans it will still act like a dog (more or less)This has been proven because they have unfortunately found extremely abused children.Also skinner did experiments on his daughter real nice guy

Apr 12, 2012 - This video has a lot of fallacies in it. A lot more then facts ....

thejordanconnellshow Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - This video loses credibility when it reaches anarchy, because it continues to perpetrate the same myths that in other areas (such as what America operates as) it seeks to overturn. The implementation of anarchy does not mean that you alone have to fend for yourself and your family wielding a gun. It simply means that the organisations of protection, education, and development can be established mutually and controlled directly, without a central control, or state.

Apr 15, 2012 - The left and right political spectrum made me laugh my fucking ass off.

ahorsenamedrex Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - This is a fallacious video full of misinformation. What else can you expect from the wackos at the John Birch Society. I couldn't get past where they talked about defending property in an anarchist society, obviously doesn't know anarchists are opposed to property so their argument is totally invalid. Weaksauce.

NaptownSubaru Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - @mssexysocialist in regards to, "We would still be throwing people into an arena to kill eachother," we have progressed from bare handed boxing to wearing gloves and now we have the UFC. All that's left is to remove the half inch of padding and toss in swords. Then we'll be back.

WilliamHCarney Says:

Apr 26, 2012 - Did you know, per hidden history and George Washington along with Benjamin Franklin are on record admitting they got the framework for our Constitution from the Algonquin Indian Tribe. They are in now Michigan all the very way to Quebec, Canada.

WilliamHCarney Says:

Apr 26, 2012 - Speaking of Constitution. I'm sick and fucking tired of local, state, and federal officials walking over the constitution. For example. In Nevada, a judge, Elissa Cadish says she believes its not a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Hey dummy, the 2nd Amendment says we ALL do. Another is the 14th Amendment: No state shall make or enforce any laws that bshall ABRIDGE the privileges and immunities of the people of the United States.

WilliamHCarney Says:

Apr 26, 2012 - My point with the 14th Amendment. NO state can make up any rule, law, provision, whatever, to deny a citizen from voting. NO matters what. Its eben in the Due Process Clause.

WilliamHCarney Says:

Apr 26, 2012 - Some or most may think an ex-felon should not be allowed to vote. However, how maliciously our Founding Fathers worded the constitution and the fact they had criminals back then. They would have putb that language in it.

DonJusko Says:

May 7, 2012 - I am not a "moderate constitutionalist" Opposite the left which is government control all is a limited government by the Constitution. This is the right. The Constitution protects me by giving the government no power that I don't give it. The States have the powers that Obama is usurping. Remove Obama, he is a proven lier. Remove any head of State that follows Obama.

tnguyen318 Says:

May 15, 2012 - We need to stop the government balogny and begin approaching matters from a real standpoint. It's called food and shelter.

tnguyen318 Says:

May 15, 2012 - If you want to give government no power, why do they have power?
