My American Government professor is seriously trying to convince this class that the Iraq War was formally declared
If you are truly opposed to war with Iran, and you vote for Obama in November, that would be as stupid as being against war with Iran and voting for Barack Obama in November.
I couldn’t even finish that analogy, because nothing really compares to how STUPID you’d have to be to continue believing that Obama is any different than his neo-conservative warmonger contemporaries.
How anyone with a conscience can defend the actions of Obama is beyond me.
It is truly sickening how spineless the modern American left wing has become.
P.S.- The right wing is just as horrific.
People get up in arms that Ron Paul wants to abolish the EPA.
Get up in arms that the EPA does THIS.
THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROGRESSIVISM/SOCIALISM and LIBERTARIANISM/ANARCHO-CAPITALISM
Progressivism/Socialism: believes that the state can legislate in such a way that all results and prosperity will be equal and plentiful for everyone.
Libertarianism/Anarcho-Capitalism: believes that no collection of legislative force, even with the best intentions, could ever overcome the difficulty of providing guaranteed equality of results while also preserving individual freedom. Some people would suffer in a libertarian society. Anti-statists acknowledge the reality that there will be inequality regardless of what kind of government (or lack-thereof) we have. Therefore, the only prudent and moral goal of societal progression must be the respect of freedom, the protection of basic rights, the non-aggression principle, and a lack of positive or negative discrimination against any individuals or groups under the law.
