Both parties will certainly find a way to come together and screw Americans.
+1000, this is the only thing that is assured.
Tylers... I am disappoint. You know the GOP does not stand for individuality, freedom, peace, truth, or anything else even remotely American. The members of the GOP like to think that, but they believe the official story just like everyone else. They want to extract money from my pocket and spend it on human killing machinery and kill innocent brown people with it. How is that NOT wealth redistribution? These insecure assholes are not to be defended.
Why can't I do drugs in the land of the free? Why can't I bang hookers? Why can't I gamble? Cuz a dude with a shaved face and a crew cut with a history of violence (military service) sez I can't. Not my kinda people.
AWW... what the matter ZHers? I thought you were Libertarians and Anarchists. Boohoohoo. I guest yall are LINOS and AINOS huh? Old habits hard to break faggots? The republicans are just as much a homogeneous violent hivemind as the Dems. The only difference? The dems acknowlege that they are collectivistic. Go wave your flags, go wear a camo hat, go drive your truck, go believe the official story of everything and go shave your face and go cut your hair faggots! go drink a budweiser and go watch FOOTBALL (A bureaucratic and violent militaristc hivemind sport which trains young men up to be cannon fodder). USA! USA! USA! USA!. Faggots.

...What Republicans Hear When Obama Speaks?
A giant sucking sound??? ;-)
Looney
Interesting quote about Obomba/Romney Care:
Jonathan Gruber, has come out and admitted that the Obamacare legislation was drafted to intentionally be so confusing that the average American public would never know that their healthcare would rise in price and decline in service. Here is the full transcript and a link to the video:
“You can’t do it political, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes the bill dies. Okay? So it’s written to do that,” Gruber said. “In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass. Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”

I find it funny that on Drudge Report today the faux controversy amongst the neocons is that Eminem uses cuss words at a Veteran's Day concert.
Let me get this straight. The neocons are so disconnected to reality from being in their ivory towers that they have never actually spoken to a veteran before?
All the vets I know say f**k and MFer in every sentence. That's just how they talk. That's their language. This is just Eminem using their lingo.
It's so funny how the social conservatives are so gung-ho military but are completely ignorant of the military culture, mainly because they are chickenhawks that have never served.
"All the vets I know say f**k and MFer in every sentence."
Not back in my day!!
But the weird thing is that nowdays even officers include the f word in every sentence, which never happened 40 years ago.
Wars are won by men who can keep their concentration while under fire. Self discipline, self control, clear thinking and quick reaction win wars.
Makes you wonder.
Whenever Obama opens his mouth, all I hear is garbled noise, much like the sound that Charlie Brown's parents make whenever they speak...
And here is what's really going on behind the facade of the Left/Right Paradigm...

WHAT GOP POWER BROKERS HEAR WHEN OBAMA SPEAKS:
Good he's feeding them narrative of false differences. We need the stupid Americans to believe in the two party system.
Dont wonder at all... When's the last time USSA "won" a "war?"
USSA (Corporate fascist USSA) has been winning a lot of wars.
Americans not so much.
I have no idea what kind of outfit you were in, or where you took basic training, but profanity was ever-present where I was 45 years ago. On top of that, as a military brat, I saw plenty of formations in the 50's & 60's laced with colorful language as a senior NCO "addressed" the troops.
On top of that, the guy who said the American public is dumb is 100% correct. His mistake is not taking advantage of the opportunity to point out just how stupid the public really is. After all, we make fun of the general public 24/7 on this site the Tyler's post articles about it all the time.
I'm really not trolling. I'm totally sincere. The GOP does not stand for freedom. They take credit for it so as to convince their constituents to vote GOP, but they want a giant militarized control grid, huge sums of tax dollars for intelligence community, and laws preventing the American citizens from achiving personal liberty. They DO NOT STAND FOR FREEDOM.
just messin with ya.. besides, we're on the same page on at least one thing, I ask myself the same:
Why can't I do drugs in the land of the free? Why can't I bang hookers? Why can't I gamble?
Why can't I bang a hooker while on drugs at the poker table? Why can't I have a concubine, an 3D printed uzi, and gold coins with my own face on them? True libertarianism would be much more fun than today's society.
Hey, I would consider myself an independent, don't know if that will suffice but I give you permission to bang all the hookers you like. Actually, I Hit the ATM the other day, thinking I might bang one myself this weekend.
it's called doing your part for the GDP
A lot of libertarians don't stand for freedom either. They have this view that the state is evil (which I agree with), but yet they want us all to be ruled by businessmen.
I agree with Bob Black...
Wrong
Excellent insight! (sarc) Care to explain?
two points:
1) no libertarians i know want to be "ruled by businessmen". if you're going to make such an outlandish claim, you need to back it up, instead of throwing ridiculous statements like this out there, without any basis.
2) your comment about employer "duress" is dishonest. there is a clear distinction between relationships that we enter into VOLUNTARILY (like employment) and those that are imposed by force (government). free people have the right to free association, including making or ending relationships (whether personal or business) unless certain critera are met. shitty people like overly demanding employers will suffer the consequences of their behavior, as no good people will want to work for them, and the good, talented people will be able to find work elsewhere.
Businessmen? Real or 'Crony' capitalist? Very few 'real' businesmen left. So, a genuine Libertarian knows that most businessmen today are 'Crony' and therfore unfit to run a lemonade stand let alone a major country.....
Not true. Most of the "businessmen" you'll hear about on TV or whatever fit your description to a T but small businesses tend to be run by real people (non-psychopaths). You'll only hear about them if you personally do business with them though.
Amen.
No shit just paid slaves
-1
dishonest use of the word "slaves".
a slave does not have a choice of whether to work for a master or not.
if you have a job you've chosen to accept, you're not a slave.
You're wrong too. A slave absolutely has a choice. "Option B" may be, "Die Horribly To Serve As An Example To The Others," but it is most definitely an available option. See the long history of slave revolts.
that's tangential to the point i was making.
with a slave, they are forced / coerced.
with someone going to a job volutarily, they can walk away any time.
Gee Doc,
I can vote +/- for everyone else's comments but yours? Wonder what that means?
+1 BTW
It means he started his post with parentheses or italics.
Nope.
Found another poster that begann a post with italics and was able to vote the post just fine. Only Doc's posts seem to have a "problem".

Your post is relvant to my interests
So basically your calling the GOP and Democrats statists?
"I thought you were Libertarians and Anarchists."
Many here just say so because it is fashionable, while they secretly root for the Red Team because it's the "lesser of evils." I've come to realize that this manner of thinking is pervasive in our society, even among those who say they realize the mistake in it. Nothing is ever going to change. If there's ever a revolution, it will be to put one of the Teams back in power.
Have you been reading Rothbard again?
You are correct, the majority of the people whom would identify with libertarianism don't actually understand what libertariansim means. Most of them wouldn't have the instestinal fortitude to live that sort of lifestyle.
+1 take a lot of work and courage to blaze your own trail and stand on your own. But its worth it.
As usual LTER gets a ton of downvotes from the neocons who have infested this site.
The word anarchist is very fashionable nowadays. So much so that the Lew Rockwell crowd renamed Corportism as anarcho-capitalism. Private courts, private armies, private security, private toll roads, private property (as in public lands for camping, hiking, recreation are now off limits and those activities are now constituted as trespassing by the new private owners). None of this "private" is freedom. Especially if only big banks with their bailouts are the only ones in the world who have the financial resources to privatize everything. An excellent example is Goldman Sachs buying up Greece.
Yeah, those corporate shills have freedom. You the working class joe, well you need to work harder you lazy SOB. Keep slaving away to the big boys! And remember, minimum wage is anti-market, so spend the 5 tokens a week you earn from the private business at their company store. There are no unions and no osha so enjoy your 16 hour shift, 7 days a week to keep up with their production.
Your bosses live it up, and you have nothing. That's their version of "anarchy" dude!
No wonder the Rockefellers gave Mises their original funding. It's their old system all over again.
"None of this "private" is freedom.
"Common-good" is a dirty-word amongst those who preach the cliche "personal responsibility," i.e.; selfishness, greed, and a "fuck-thy-neighbor" sense of social responsibility.
Thanks Doc-- in six words you helped me articulate many an argument against Obamacare, charter schools, and military contractors!
(Off to grab my chainsaw to prep for a bit of minor-surgery-- thanks again!)
I don't support "common good" either, so what is your point?
Common good is collectivism, and I support strong individualism and selfhood, hence my criticisms of BOTH the state and corporatism.
Strong individualism and selfhood, tempered with INTELLIGENCE, is The Common Good.

Neoliberal.

I don't recognize the Dickensian world you describe.
I don't recognize what you advocate in terms of governance either.
I'm a libertarian, by temperament, and I ran as a libertarian for state rep in Missouri.
But first and foremost I oppose collectivism, and that's what Obama and his crowd represent to a far greater extent than any Republican. So given the practical limits of voting libertarian - you're not going to see your candidate win, in all likelihood - damage limitation dictates that you vote Republican.
It's like amputation. You don't like cutting the gangrenous half of your leg off, but the alternative is far worse.
You might want to take the time to read about anarcho-capitalism before you write about it. It is the exact opposite of corporatism.
While I do not personally agree with all of its' tenets, none of them include your wish list of private facilities. They do include people agreeing to facilitate trade through private interactions without a state to interfere. This is a big difference. A court would have no power to enforce an action unless both parties agreed beforehand to this type of mediation. Private armies would be vulnerable to the actions of the community to frustrate it. Toll roads would be an option, but may fall into disfavor if an enterprising set of communities encouraged trade with free passage. Property would be limited to your ability to control it or the community might enforce claims. Businesses could be held liable for their actions environmentally.
How would big banks buy up everything? Money would be valued according to what people accept, not "legal tender". Why would I care how many paper dollars you have?
Most important, people could redefine all these terms in view of liberty, rather than have the State define it for them. Law is the means by which they enslave us all. Eliminate the written law and liberty becomes a possibility.
There are no perfect systems. It might be nice to have a choice however, which you presently don't have. To call a system that is ill defined with plenty of potential the same as the corporatism we suffer under today is just a bad lie.
American sheeple have been trained to do what they are told to do...
Regarding "You are correct, the majority of the people whom would identify with libertarianism don't actually understand what libertariansim means. Most of them wouldn't have the instestinal fortitude to live that sort of lifestyle."
The true beauty is that they would not have too and no one would force them too. Their personal box could be as open or confining as they like.
Yes, I've noticed that as well. Normally the left are given in to trendiness, but notice that as soon as Obmam was elected, suddenly everyone had a mind of their own. Suddenly everone was a conspiracy theorist or an anarchist. Lest we forget the military men and intelligence functionaries that carried out 9/11? Like I said, old habits are hard to break, and the GOPers are a very very proud bunch. Not eager to engage in the sort of humility it takes to admit that they are, in fact, the bureaucratic, Nazi-like hivemind that believes the official story, supports invading other countries and killing the people to be found there. That take s a lot of fucking humility.
As a former GOPer I can say you are right in some ways. I should probably thank john McCain, since it was when he was the presidential nominee, that pretty much did it with the GOP for me. Hearing RP speak on the same stage changed my stance on many things. I was never a fan of GWB (lesser of two evils, so I thought at the time) but McCain VS Obama was the last straw. But it is hard to completely let go of old bias. In some ways I loathe the GOP worse than the dems simply because, going all the way back to Reagan, they get themselves elected by spouting all this libertarian/freedom/small limited govt rhetoric, then do the exact opposite once they get into office. Case in point, name any good that came out of them having senate, congress, and the White House.
fuckin' labels, though man. Do more harm...
'Libertarians' will often call me a "socialist" because I'm not myopic and think, for example, a well educated and healthy citizenry is vital to the health of the country [the nation, not necessarily the state].
I think we all do our best to determine what's fair/just/best. Here, I feel 'liberal' sometimes. When I read Daily Kos or Salon I'm reminded why, mostly, I disagree with the Left. The whole government coercion thing. That isn't to say a little coercion isn't necessary sometimes.
Anyway, you might be interested:
Thomas Paine Was A Red: Or a Primer on Libertarian Welfare SchemesThe original definition of liberal was the opposition to Monarchy and the Divine Right of Kings.
Liberalism in its classical definition is pretty much unanimous amongst the ZH readership.
The problem I have with the Salon, Daily Kos, HuffPo crowd is that they want the state to control every facet of my life. The problem I have with the WND, The Blaze, Infowars crowd is that they want the state to enforce their particular nuanced interpretation of the King James Version on to my life. The problem I have with the Lew Rockwell, Mises, Ron Paul crowd is that they want corporate rule over my life.
The problem I have with the new Zero Hedge (as opposed to the die hard libertarians of years past) is that they have gotten way too GOP. When LTER gets a boatload of downvotes for pointing that out, I know this place is infested with righty termites.
I miss the old debates of Mises vs. Menger; Bitcoin vs PMs; anarchy vs. libertarian; geolibertarianism vs. anarcho-capitalism; right-libertarians vs left-libertarians; stawks vs metals. Nowadays its this GOP shill is not as bad as those democrats. The quality of debate has regressed back to the brain dead 1990s.
LTER gets downvotes because he's a self-righteous, arrogant prick with an ayn rand fetish.
i've never been a righty, btw; if anything, i used to be left-leaning; now, anarchist.
to hell with the GOP and the dems, both.
What ever happend to that 'no labels' movement?..guess they must have gotten labeled..
"You are correct, the majority of the people whom would identify with libertarianism don't actually understand what libertariansim means. Most of them wouldn't have the instestinal fortitude to live that sort of lifestyle."
Libertaria as a society without social and behavioral restraints is a dream that will never happen. Successful human societies always exert social pressure upon fellow members to behave in ways that benefit the group, keep it cohesive, keep its collective cradle full and keep invaders from subjugating them.
A successful society or nation is one in which social pressure bears most of the responsibility for inducing beneficial behavior among individuals and minimizes the power of government to interfere and change those group social pressures. As long as libertaria allows freedom of association - which means freedom to discriminate - then like minded individuals will gather themselves and concentrate in certain neighborhoods, counties and states and thereby exclude, through private transactions, those who want to indulge in vices of which they disapprove, thus blocking entry and driving out individuals who wish to engage in behaviors and belief systems that are repugnant to the group.
But if libertaria is intending to keep all the so called "civil rights" laws and use goverment force to ensure they are obeyed, then libertaria is yet another attack on people who want to live in communities that uphold traditional Christian morals or by other means ensure the willingness to sacrifice for the benefit of the group and uphold its behavioral standards. In a true libertaria like minded individuals would set up their own schools, teach what they want and exclude who they want, and do the same with neighborhood housing patterns, and with commerce and employment.
After twenty or so years of the sorting out process, I would not be surprised if libertarians do not discover how limited the remaining practical opportunities for vice really are and how difficult it is to prey upon and seduce members of those healthy communities who have developed rigorous methods of social pressure and exclusion and pervasive reward structures for adhering to community standards, and thus are no longer under the sway of public school conditioning, main stream media and advertising, and incessant government meddling and subsidies to favored business.
Homo econonomicus has his collective and instinctive limitations.
Fucking correct. While man sees that conservatism and perhaps free thinking libertarianism will lead to as much sovereignty as can be cut from the pie, God sees that riches and wealth invariably leads to spoiled people. People forget the desperation of the masses, the competition for GDP, what it would take to steal more wealth from a) and b).
Anarchism is idiotic and juvenile, at least if you understand the basics of human cuntery, but I'm surprised you got so many junks in the OP. Lots of repugnicunts here now?
You're right - they engage in wealth redistribution too. I'm not sure, over the course of the past 100 years, however, that it can be said that Dems are less bloodthirsty than the GOP.
Both parties long ago abandoned the idea that American soldiers and Marines should only be asked to risk their lives defending the United States directly, or its vital interests.
Not oil, not gas pipelines, not the petrodllar, and not Israel.
I don't think it is idiotic and juvenile. Considering the amount of destruction the state and banking cartel have caused over the centuries...
sorry, not aiming to get into an argument over it. I disagree with it as hopelessly idealistic and nedlessly callous in practice.
Disorder/entropy is more powerful than chaos.... if your worldview counts largely on the honesty and ethicality of human beings in the absence of real costs to dishonesty [or violence] - its time to examine your premises.
Civilization, meaning civilized behavior, is a very, very fragile thing.
I see anarchism as a counterbalance to statism. Not as an end but as a means to prevent tyrrany, democide. It is both formless and platformless, and doesnt rely on laws and politics, but instead on guerilla tactics: bitcoin, dark wallet, darknet, non-hierarchical communication, self-organizing systems. You are right, in that anarchism is generally seen as callous in practice- a round black bomb with a hissing fuse hurled at a government building, but in reality it is peaceful AND revolutionary. i think we are moving toward a collapse. This collapse with bring with it a new ethos- worldwide. It will bring and end to all power and authority, or so the prophecy goes. We are right on the cusp of it.
Masses depending on a big daddy authority figure, to me, seems much more idiotic and juvenile, than self-ownership.
The reason why humans need a state is that they are still psychologically infantile and are still developing and maturing. Only 250 years ago, did humans challenge monarchism; then just the last century challenged communism and fascism; nowadays we are challenging corporatism. Who knows with the rapid advancement what challenges will be faced in this century, let alone, the next one.
"The reason why humans need a state is that they are still psychologically infantile and are still developing and maturing. "
it's not a state that they need. humans are social for the most part. human contact, security, free trade, education might be considered to be needs, but they don't need to be provided by a "state" - i.e., institution of violence.
do you have an example of something that the state provides, that is a genuine human need, that can't be provided without the state?
because, the only thing the state provides that i'm aware of, is violence, coercion, and theft of wealth through taxation and inflation and market manipulation.

Seriously, how old are you, twelve?
"I see anarchism as a counterbalance to statism. Not as an end but as a means to prevent tyrrany (sic), democide."
Anarchism is more or less what they had in Las Vegas, you know, lawlessness and the Mafia mob rule. Why do you think it can be any different? No law => might is right => law of the jungle => tyranny, the worst thugs in power and terrorized people. Of course...
Well, actually, no, mobs, gangs and mafias emerge around black markets. Black markets are created by governments. If the private sector is allowed to compete for market share of drugs hookers and gambling (and everything else now illegal) supply would increase and price would fall dramatically, and then the criminals would go out of business. Indeed the only reason the Italian Mafias emerged in the 1920 was due to prohibition. Prohibition created a supply dearth of alcohol and the price skyrocketed. The criminals saw an opportunity make millions (and they did). Mafias and gangsters are created by black markets. The are created by black markets.
This example you gave me was no different. Mafia mob rule in vegas was created by govenment. Nuff said.
12 year olds don't discuss anarchism as a political school of thought. Most 12 year olds discuss skateboards and call of duty. A lousy insult... stick to the argument and not ad hominems especially if you can't do them right.
"If the private sector is allowed to compete for market share of drugs hookers and gambling (and everything else now illegal) supply would increase and price would fall dramatically, and then the criminals would go out of business."
No, they wouldn't. The criminals (who would no longer be criminals under lawless circumstances) would fight tooth and nail each for their own share, you bet they would. And with guns and ammo, and you wouldn't want to cross them if you liked your kneecaps. And when your wife or daughter would be raped because, you see, there's no police or law enforcement (even though I suspect you have no wife), you could do nothing but join the opposite gang to set matters straight. With bullets.
Once again, how old are you?
Question: Have you ever wondered why no human group, ever, has been able to do without some sort of government or social order? (hint: because it's impossible/guaranteed hell on earth.)
I agree with your premise too.
Humanity just barely got out of monarchism only a little over 2 centuries ago. Nowadays its dealing with how much state or corporate intervention they want in their lives as a give and take.
I don't advocate anarchy tomorrow morning, because it would degenerate rapidly into the doom scenario you described, but Anarchism and its schools of thought, particularly on self-ownership, should be a goal (more like journey toward) in upcoming centuries.
if you don't advocate anarchy, then you advocate violence, and peoples' rights being trampled.
it's like a husband who says, i plan to stop beating my wife someday, but not yet, she's not ready for me to stop yet, it would be confusing and frightening to her.
How old am I? Not relevant.
How much do you rely on the government for your paycheck?
The GOP is a problem with a lot of non-conservative (what's in it for me) types. The GOP does have the only liberty candidates however. The Dems have killed all of theirs off in service to socialism.
Now we see Rand Paul trying to decide how much he has to compromise.
yes, but the GOP has John McCain.
Your point? the Liberal Technocrats have Zero, Reid and Piglousey (sp) I.E. Have to pass it, before we can read it. You could also make the argument that the recent kick in the nuts comment from the Zero Care architect was solely pointed to the Democratic voter since not one Republican voted for the Piece of shit bill.
Although, the Lib Tards still have the best chant in the nut house IMO.

To say the least I have little sympathy with parochial spirituality and scholastic beliefs, yet I had the occasion to attend the Church of Good Christian People in downtown Tuscaloosa. There was a sermon, and, although my concern here is not to pass upon the merits of the sermon, I can say the least. Benediction terminated the service, and everybody fled for the doors.
The incidence of spirituality occurred in the church parlor, and, kidding aside, I do respect reverences that are more than skin deep.
In the church parlor there was nothing out of the ordinary. When friends bumped into each other, they exchanged a slight hug, while their reciprocating perfumes engaged in a minor wrestle. Mismatched people smelled collars and armpits. Others who put on pious expressions and were altogether very superior, if not stuffy, shook hands heartily. All of it was tinged with an undertone of phony haste and a vehement striving to be charming. I privilege myself to believe that if the minister told them that it was a sin saying “goodness this and goodness that,” and then told them it was another sin saying, “Isn’t that charming,” they wouldn’t speak at all.
A moist pungent odor of contradictory perfumes saluted my nose, and I began overdosing not only on the good and the virtuous, but on the concentrated scent of lilacs, and other thick, gooey perfumes, insinuating sachets, musks of all sorts, and powders as dry as a Yemeni jock strap in June.
The congregation was Lilly-white except for one Punished woman. She was a sturdy, handsome Punished woman, and her walk was slow and easy, but with a slight roll, and she put me in mind of Wilma Rudolph, r.i.p. She neither gave nor received slight hugs, few people said hello, yet her large face was neither clouded nor ravaged, but finely serene, and her carriage was superb. She had presence.
Most women of the congregation made no sign of greeting but looked at her repellingly and some gave her scant hellos, yet the Punished woman, although not startlingly good looking was far above them all in walk, in air, in visage, and in person.
In a field of adults on the far side of the church parlor there was a child waiting for her mother. The Punished woman, who was near to me, had a sense that the child was troubled. She called “Stephanie” with just enough volume to reach the child’s ear. The child’s face brightened and the Punished woman, as graceful as graceful, curtsied into a crouch and opened her hands before her face. Stephanie skipped across the church parlor, flung opened her arms, and caught the Punished woman to her.
And there, on the brink of a tear in my eye, I felt some spirituality, if you call spirituality an impression with a latent truth that motivates.

How about blaming the banks, who buy politicians, who in turn buy voters, who secure the politicians, who secure the banks.
the banks and multinationals are impotent if congress and .gov in general is not buyable. because they are buyable they are bought. how does it stop? it doesn't. that is why china executes the corruptible as a matter of principle because it obviously doesn't stop corruption.
All one has to do is to look closely at how Ron Paul was systematically marginalized by the mainstream media during the 2012 campaign. Even Jon Stewart pointed it out on the "Daily Show." It is so obvious, so in-your-face, that you have to be willfully blind to not see it.

I hear a moron, I heard him speaking from China blathering about GoreBull Fucking Warming, it was 26F this morning in Chicago, upper Wisconsin had two fucking feet of snow, ti snowed south of here, West of here and East of here in places you would never imagine it snowing this early. We just came off of one of the latest springs and coldest summers I can remember and this assclown is talking about a lie in scope of destructivity equal to his obamacare bullshit.
It would be helpful if you would at least attempt to understand the carbon cycle and why climate change is happening, why it's real, why it's manmade, and that it has absolutely nothing to do with your local weather on any given day. You can begin your education here (http://www.skepticalscience.com/), if you wish. If you hope to discover a lie, then shouldn't you seek the truth?
It would be helpful if you would at least attempt to quit parroting bullshit propaganda from bullshit sources with bullshit smug moral righteousness.
You KNOW you bought the pet rock of the last 15 years...right?
Don't sweat it Michael. Zerohedge has a very dedicated cast of characters who ignore most real climate science and write it off to a conspiracy or some other equally implausible reason. When they freeze or boil off this planet they will still deny. True flat earthers. Somewhat amusing to watch as they think weather in the US somehow equates to condemning all the other evidence. Who don't get the effects of CO2, or as you mention, the carbon-cycle. They are clueless one and all and seem to enjoy being that way. Just look at the downvotes! As I said true flat earthers.
" real climate science "
Ha! Ha! Ha!
The very definition of an Oxymoron.
In 1988, you GoreBullWarmists predicted in 20 years, worldwide crop failures, dried up lakes, rising oceans, hotter summers, snowless winters. None of it ever came true. So given no evidence of what you predicted (you had an overly hot dry summer, can we please have some it?) why would we think it is anything but a lie.
You (and your upvoters) simply can't be this fucking stupid, can you?
Where I live we had the hottest, driest year in memory. Does that prove global warming?
You guys need to just stfu and continue voting for the reds...
...."Where I live we had the hottest, driest year in memory. Does that prove global warming? "
Nope'r, unless you're an ObamaBud Scientist, or other koolaid drinking leftist with nothing better to do (like think for yourself) than to believe that 'consensus of opinions' is scientific fact.
This fall we had the 'wettest season in memory' and no one is running around yelling "global wetting". Or at least not yet.
you confuse weather with climate
remember, global warming intensifies cold. The hotter it gets the colder it gets.
"Hot Ice", that way we get the best of both worlds.
A professional arsonist studies how to make the intentional look accidental. When you need to make money from destruction, who you gonna call?
Wall Street needs a fire, and Washington knows how to set it.
Come on Tyler's enough of this Dem's, Repub's bullshit. You all, we all know better. Well at least "WE" should.
Just because the Dems are just as bad, lie just as much, and are controlled by the same 0.1%-ers doesn't mean that what is said about the Repubs is not true. It is. It just doesn't matter one damned bit.

I'm not saying I disagree with this man; I just don't like the way he said it.
I don't understand why the Lib's are not just up in arms over this sack of shit comments. I take it he was directly speaking of Democratic voter's since not one Republican voted for the bill, not do I believe had a chance to read the bill prior to passage.
Wait till the one surfaces where he refers to the supreme court as a bunch of fucking idiots who can be BS'ed into believing anything.
More like they're idiot fucking lawyer politicians that have been NSA'd into voting as they're told.
6 republicans, 3 dems, dems are all Jews, the republicans are all Roman Catholic. What a fucked up mix! The Founders were mostly Deists. Not to worry, it won't prosper much longer and will do a belly flop.
Criticizing 'Dear Leader' is unlawful, appear at your local retraining camp, or we will send a participation team to 'assist' you!
Considering that Obama is a CIA manchurian president of the neo-cons, the cartoon is hilarious, but in ways unattended by the artist.
An American, not US subject.
"Now if we can just keep them believing that he's anti-Israel, Muslim and socialist for two more years."
For years Harry Reid, as leader of the Senate majority, has killed bills that were passed by the house, many with bipartisan support. He refused to bring them to the floor for a vote, a flagrant denial of the democratic process of government. He acted as a gatekeeper preventing bills, passed by both houses, landing on Obama's desk, that he would have chosen to veto.
Now that Reid will lose his positiion as leader and the Democrats will be in the minority, he wants "everbody to work together". Dream on Harry Reid, glad to see you gone.
...and it worked brilliantly!!
Look at how the spin doctors in the white house turned it all on its head and muddied the waters so much that they looked like victims.
I'm so fucking sick of politics in this shithole of a country. Bring on the collapse already. Maybe THEN we can finally get real political reform and maybe start to rebuild....
But I don't want a colapse! I eat every day, I have good clothes, I have a roof over my head and bed to sleep in. I also know a shitstorm is about to occur. But I don't want it to happen. God! I don't want it to happen.
The only thing keeping me from clinical depression is that I have enough personal assets/resources to hedge the future implosion. If not, I'd have a really hard time sleeping at night...
Tough shit! Man up and lead. The things you speak of, we all have. None of us wants to be without food, shelter and comfort. But I'm willing to live through the transition because it means living honestly, living truthfully. These rigged markets and bullshit political solutions are just as wearing on anybody looking to have free markets and real access to the work-reward paradigm without big government taking a chunk at every step or determining the market/rate/process.
I want freedom for myself and my fellow man. I want to follow the constitution that so many have sworn to and died for! If that means sacrificing for the end result count me in. Stack the silver, hoard some food and rack the slide! But it's time to get after it.
The collapse should act as a cleansing hellfire. After that the productive people will be better off, the parasites swept to perdition. Same thing happened at the break-up of Jugoslavia and even with hyperinflation and a vicious war countries like Slovenia and Croatia got themselves back on an even footing very quickly.

i was thinking about this very thing yesterday when i listened to:
Richard Duncan: QE4? “They’ll have to.” | McAlvany Commentary 2014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3yZ036QOUE
mcalvany's guest, richard duncan, while a staunch believer in austrian economics, has views that put him at odds with his pro-austrian economics friends. richard feels that if a collapse were to happen, it would wipe us out as a society and a civilization. he thinks that based on the predicament we find ourselves in, the best option at this point is to continue down the path of qe, and start investing in technology and energy, and try to grow our way out. otherwise, he says, there will be a depression that will last for decades, with lots of suffering and death.
his views don't sit well with me, but i find myself wondering if he might be right.
that exactly what the Pelosi led Congress did with George W Bush.
a sad predicament, indeed. the party founded on the premise of the abolition of slavery, so brow beaten into politically correct bullshit that they cannot even defend themselves using unequivocally undebiable facts in their favor. a sad predicament indeed. and yet, we or those of the libertarian faction within the GOP or completely separate from the GOP... we must not give up. never give up. never give up. vehemently hold to the truth and continue to stive to persuavively persuade our liberty loving friends whose psyche's have unfortunately been sullied by the PC bullshit. i urge you, zh'ers. do not give up.

It isn't so much what Obama(D) says to put someone else down....the real crisis is that no "journalist" will go after any of these lines from third rate speech writers. It is all very low hanging fruit. some "journalists" are squinting and glancing up at the low hanging fruit but at the end of the day they know they don't go up against "The Outfit".
The only real journalism today is found on blogs. The coroprate MSM are just paid shills and/or dumb as rocks.

When libertarians scream Holy Hell about coporate tyranny, then I might...might listen to what they have to say. Otherwise they are completely mute on the issue.
what is corporate tyranny?
does apple force you at gunpoint to go out and buy the latest iphone? no?
then how can it be compared to the state, where, if you don't "do your civic duty" (as defined by corrupt, bought and paid for politicians), then they will point guns at you and lock you in a metal box?
sure, there's shitty people in the corporate world just as in government, but do you understand the difference, and why these 2 things are not at all comparable?
exactly, corporations can't force you to do anything at the point of a gun as the state can......UNLESS they be in bed with the state as is somewhat the case these days.
fuckers all of them
I agree. When corps can lobby gov't for perks, regulations and laws that favor them...where's this "freedom" i hear bandied about all the time? And AGAIN, I NEVER hear libertarians complain about this whatsoever. When I see them attacking corps....and NOT just gov't...I might peruse their opinions. And what do we see today? Major telecomm begging, cajoling and manipulating the FCC to turn ur dialup speed lane to 5mph for double the cost. Wonder who that benefits?
and why would they "attack corps"?
you still seem to be missing the point.
a coropration doesn't have the power to force laws on you.
only the government does that, and that's why only the government is the target of libertarians.
