• Jonah Goldberg Joins ‘Real News From The Blaze’ to Discuss His New Book ‘Tyranny of Cliches’

  You seem to skip over content as well. You are making a nonsensical distinction. One is a textbook definition and the other is that idea put into practice. Animal Farm may criticize the one while embracing the other, but that just makes the author naive.

  Right SPQR1, Stalinism was an aberration, totally unlike the wonderful “socialism in general” that so often occurs in nature.

  So, JZS, a given statist idea is not really a statist idea if some Repuplican or other supports it? Talk about an appeal to false authority. Ideas stand and fall on their own merit, not by who endorses them.

• Beck Makes List of Top 50 Pundits Going Into 2012 Campaign Season

  @Vivian,

  Well said. Also, the left will argue interminably that corporations are the problem, not government. Government possesses the monopoly on the use of force, companies don’t. If there’s crony capitalism, then the person in the position of power, i.e. the government official, allowed it to happen. Companies don‘t send their employees to your home to take you away at gunpoint if you don’t buy their products.

  The larger government gets, the greater is its attack surface – places where union bosses, lobbyists, and corporate executives can glom onto it for mutual benefit, and the harder it is for us to keep track of it.

  @Down,

  I should stop hating and work with you for the common good.

  Translation: I should compromise away my fundamental principles to give looters and starry eyed dreamers whatever they want.

  “It’s not about “his” marriage, it is about what is best for society as a whole.”

  @just-sayin,

  To infringe on someone‘s individual rights because it’s best for society as a whole is a progressive mindset. Just because you look to God to justify your actions instead of the state does not change that fact. Government has no business doing anything, including defining marriage, that falls outside its one and only mandate of protecting individual rights.

  @jzs,

  The percentage of wealth owned by x% of the population is, by itself, an irrelevant fact from my point of view. The control that those people or any others have over me is what’s relevant. If you stand in my way when I’m trying to maintain or improve my employment situation, move freely around this country, or do what I want with my private property, then we have a problem. I don’t see those 400 doing that to me. It’s none of my business how much wealth they have.

  UnreconstructedLibertarian,

  I see what you mean. Hopefully I just misunderstood his usage of the term.

  Germany made a huge mistake in getting mixed up in that mess, and maybe they’ll find their way out again. If this man‘s words don’t resonate with them and cause them to see the light, then nothing will.

  UnreconstructedLibertarian,

  I would carefully look at his glowing remarks concerning direct democracy. Whatever the majority says, the rest should accept, or something to that effect. That’s very dangerous, and I would remove that from my list of things to praise him about.

• AFL-CIO President Says Beck, Limbaugh ‘Pushed Open the Door to Hate’ After 9/11

  We should not be individuals. We should be one mind, one brain. Thinking independently is dangerous to a collective because it often causes one part to rub against another part in a way that wasn’t designed by the social engineer, causing heat and premature wear. Since thinking is the defining characteristic of humans, and the machine is better served by removing those friction inducing parts, it follows that we are all better off if we defy our nature by not thinking independently. Curiously, only certain of those who want power over the machine are allowed to remain human. People who are in one or more of the other compatible camps, which can be labeled “those who read and believe certain books deemed correct”, “those who believe human nature can be changed”, “those who feel guilty”, and “those who want something from me” have arrived at the factory in ready made condition and require no further alterations.

  Those who don’t fall into one of the aforementioned groups are attempting to act according to their nature as humans and need to be modified. They are the parts that cause friction and wear. They must be fixed or replaced with a properly functioning unit, preferably one identical to the rest.

  We are Richard Trumka. We are Barack Obama. We are the Borg.
