*should have been*...*probably was aware* :lol: That's a fine looking strawman right there, but the truth is Friedman never advocated for anything like it...but he probably and should and stuff. :lol: That’s your takeaway from that article? :lol: You actually think that was an article? :lol: It was...

Here's a good place for you to start. F. A. Hayek and Milton Friedman - both have real PhD's in Economics and both are Nobel Laureates. I highly recommend Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" , and Friedman's "Free to Choose" series. The Free to Choose series is on Amazon Prime, and Fr...

Keep looking at polls, kid. I'll keep looking at the real-world numbers. Thanks to capitalistic free-market economies, the world has never been as prosperous as it is now. Massive increases in technological innovation, medical sciences, capital, wages while seeing drastic reductions in worldwide vi...

World Record surrender. Are you sure you're not French? Nah, your statement is the exact same one mocked by the piece I posted. I don't need to justify anything; I trust economists when the majority say that investing into infrastructure and people (healthcare, welfare, education) has a larger ROI ...

Whose taxes, and by how much? Show your work. Unless you plan to widen the tax base by a w-i-d-e margin (Donks will never let that happen), the majority of people who receive won't be paying for those "benefits" ... i.e. FREE. :nod: No thanks. I'm going to ignore the mathematics explanati...

ALL this coming from the free college, free health care, free universal basic income cheerleader. :? :rofl: Free? I've always argued an increase of taxes for them. I've simply argued that the majority of the tax increase would be directed towards ultra-wealthy individuals and corporations. Whose ta...

'It is stomach-churning': Progressives' dread rises as Warren and Sanders collide The Progressive peace treaty is breaking down... The public breakdown began with the revelation on Sunday, as first reported by Politico, that some Sanders' volunteers had been instructed to tell voters leaning toward...

Whoops. :lol: I guess we're just ignoring the spiking deficit, or deficit-to-growth ratio. I can borrow a ton of money too and make my life instantly better...even more so when I can just push it on my children. But I'm sure the question of debt is only applicable to Donks: https://www.washingtonpo...

Saddam Hussein Moammar Qaddafi I mean, if it’s Trump’s fault that Iran shot down an airliner then surely we can take credit for those two? I’m just trying to figure out your particular brand of dementia Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Huh? Who’s arguing that we caused the airliner to be shot dow...

So JSO really came on here spewing msm talking points about how this whole crisis was brought about by Trump so it's his fault? :? :rofl: Wow...just wow...yeah let's ignore that their proxies attacked...err I guess JSO would call it "protest"... an embassy. JFC the delusion on the left. A...

Oddly, Democrats never had a problem with the 3,797 people, including 324 civilians, that Obama killed with 542 drones without consulting Congress.

Of course not, Droney McPeaceprize won the Nobel...duh

Yes, I totally stole that name from someone else.

I suppose that's a satrical take off of the Republican spin about Democrats sympathizing with Soleimani or ...

Does this mean he thinks the train is off the track and he won't face reprisal from Trump, who is renowned for his vindictiveness? What could happen to him? Not get hired back in 2021? That wasn't happening anyway. He'll just keep writing books and making speeches and cashing million dollar checks....

I didn’t say anything about 150 billion. Gee, that pile of cash in that meme looks closer to a billion or 2. FACT: The US paid Iran 1.7 billion in CASH.. https://nypost.com/2016/09/07/us-payment-of-1-7-billion-to-iran-made-entirely-in-cash/ Fact: using non-U.S. currency... it was Irans money the wh...

Poor Ricky Gervais.....shunned by Hollywood and on a revenge crusade.

Ideas and people are explicitly tied together, so you can't say the people come and go and change over time without saying the idea of America changes over time. If you believe in the ideals of the Enlightenment, you have to acknowledge the main tenants: liberty, self-governance, and progress. Libe...

I'm talking about basing a society on those beliefs, and this is exactly what Trip is suggesting..." people should take care of the community first instead of themselves ". Literally every society in history, including the US, is based on community and not the individual. Otherwise we wou...

If only society would come together as one and help each other... :lol: You know, collectivist societies of all types have been tried over several millennia. There is a reason none of them have worked. As any writing from Aristotle, Plato, Locke, or Freud on this subject will tell you, collectivism...

I'm not a fan, but communism transformed a poor agrarian society into an industrial/military superpower, and increased the standard of living for hundreds of millions of people. The USSR's downfall wasn't simply communism, but a government which stopped taking care of its own and bankrupted itself ...

Parody or not, Politifact will still fact check it.

Just calling out the bullsh*t when I see it: our system of governance is garbage. It promotes neither fair representation in Congress nor good democratic philosophies. And it promotes the tyranny of the minority or majority, and very little in between. You'd think people who claim to hate our Govt ...
