@sickburnbro in other words, it was an act of domestic terrorism.

Ok boys, time to start rounding them up!

Right?

@sickburnbro We can't forget that the establishment doesn't only consist of one political party. It makes it more difficult, but we all have to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions and then act upon those conclusions rather than let us get swept up into a collective that may not reflect our actual beliefs.

@sickburnbro The key for me is an ideology where you don't need to need to marry the leader who will dictate every part of your life. That's why I've thrown in with the PPC up here in Canada -- I don't need to like everything about Maxime Bernier, because his ideology is that it isn't his job to tell everyone how to live.

@sickburnbro I understand where you're coming from, I've spoken before about the megacorp recipe:

1. "Limited government!"
2. Get big under limited government
3. "We need more regulation!"
4. Door for the next big company closed behind them

But that works for any ideology. The keynesians have the same issue, and they're arguably full socialist. The original idea there is that you spend while times are bad and save while times are good. Instead, politicians spend while times are bad, and also spend while times are good, until our kids all belong to bankers in Shanghai.

The key isn't to throw out a good ideology, it's to have your ideology while doing the hard work of making sure it's followed through with.

@sickburnbro It's easy to stop at the last step. People make it easy to stop at the last step. The groups clamoring for you to stop following your ideals often make it really lucrative to sell out, and that's the problem every time.

It's easy to follow your ideals when it's the good times. It's the bad times that prove whether you ever believed in them or not. Unfortunately, many people and most politicians fail.

@sickburnbro It depends on the perspective. The times that are good for your ideology may be times that are bad for others. The times that are bad for your ideology may be great for others.

The worst moment for the idea of liberty is when some group is doing very well and wants to close the door behind them.
