Bow Down To The State
So speaks Barney Frank, the man who selected TARP recipients on the basis of their skin color (let me denounce myself as racist) and who hired a male prostitute/pimp – with whom he’d had sexual relations, of course – as his Congressional aide (let me denounce myself as homophobic).
I hate to break this to you, Barney, but government has never been popular (with the exception, of course, of its being very popular with those whom it pays to be kept in its deathly embrace).
With good reason. Government is a necessary evil, something that people tolerate out of the realization that the alternative – anarchy – is even worse. Problem is, anarchy is looking better and better by the minute. Though it will be a shattering blow to many if the government is no longer there to steal huge chunks of what they have earned, I’m sure that those of us who don’t rely on government for fulfillment will find a way to deal with the loss.
This is the friendly face of totalitarianism, and never has it been more acceptable to a greater number of people than it is today. They believe with absolute faith that government is or can be fair, benevolent and efficient, all the things that it is not, and willingly surrender whatever is asked of them. We are enslaving ourselves to the state, and the Left-leaning masses welcome it.
Government does not improve our lives. We improve our own lives. The role of the state should be only to ensure that we enjoy the freedom required to do so.

This is what happens when citizens do not know or do not care about history.

I guess Mr. Frank knows a lot about the subject of “Blowing”
Pardon the pun…

Arby is absolutely right. But, since the public school system is controlled by the liberals, the children that are warehoused there do not get the benefit of a balanced education. When I was in school we were taught the difference between socialism, communism and all the different -isms. I don’t think they teach about them now. Wouldn’t want a pesky thing like thinking being nurtured now, would we? And they sure don’t teach about the Constitution.

‘Our corruption is better than their corruption.’ Sheesh.

The government’s purpose is to protect life and property and nothing else. Now when a government becomes the instrument of taking life and property, what’s the point? What makes that better than anarchy where you have to fight to the death to protect your own life and property? It doesn’t. Tyranny is just organized, or better defined, centralized anarchy. For once the government becomes the thug that does the taking of life and property, you just have anarchy with a bigger and more evil gang that make the one in the Road Warrior seems like whimps in comparison.

Cons, communism is dead. We are not going back. Lets move on.

Every time I see a pic of Barney, I think the guy’s got some kind of a gastric problem. Doesn’t he look in need of some ExLax, or maybe some Beano?
