Just call it what is a big government power grab and we can go on about our merry way.

Pardon my presumption, but I took Josh’s statement as ironic.

If you think we’re in an “unregulated free market” you’re disgustingly misinformed.

NOTHING could be further from the truth. The responsible party to the financial crisis is solely with the government banks. You think it’s industry because you have been educated by left wing idiots that believe government is the solution to every thing. I don’t care how benevolent you think the government is, it is nothing more than organized coercion (with guns if necessary). Printing fiat currency based on nothing but a fantasy has never failed historically to collapse the economy. It is happening this time too. If you think we’re on the road to “recovery” you’re simply wrong. (I know the media keeps talking about “recovery” but they’re LYING.) They have managed to extend the agony longer than historic precedent but they can’t stop the inevitable collapse. Quit depending on mass media for information. It is ALL biased and designed to lead you where they want you to be. Go to the library and read real economics books. Learn the different schools of economic theory. Educate yourself and question EVERYTHING you think you know.

None of the above. I prefer to sit back and watch the demise of the nation/economy. After all, it is the gen-Xers and their children who will reap the life of serfdom. And as the majority of them continually vote for socialism, it is their just reward.

/ a really old guy who may not even be around for the 2012 election. I’ve had no children (that I’m aware of), so; Screw you guys – I’m going home.

I like Peter’s solution (below), but I’m too chicken.
As for (c), I think a new “country” will just lead us back into the same mess eventually. Or maybe we just “rent” Freedom?

(d) Take up arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them

“Time to leave the Asylum,” says Cat Mike, “the inmates have DEFINITELY taken over.”
Agreed, but where to go? And I say it with all seriousness.

A few options:
(a) Bug out into the wilds and live like the bush folks in Alaska.
(b) Try to continue fighting the good fight from within, and be called a selfish loony by your co-committee members on local budget committees; pay ever-higher taxes as you denounce them; watch your small-government candidates lose and/or lie every time.
(c) Create a new country on land/sea/space that someone doesn’t already own.

Depressing.

“…laborious procedural hurdles we face.”

Cognitive dissonance at its best. I wonder if he said that while writing new regulations for some sector of the economy he does have power over.

Saying he is not a man is a tad harsh, but hate him all you want! I think hate is still legal?

Come on guys, an attempt to expand Leviathan was thwarted today, if only by a little bit! This is cause to be happy.

I think you are forgetting that ALL industries in our unregulated free marker system are responsible for the financial crisis.

You stole my thunder! I immediately said when I read S.M.’s post: “Tell me how you ***REALLY*** feel!”

And, I also admit I feel the same!

Time to leave the Asylum, the inmates have DEFINITELY taken over.

Damn, man. Tell us how you really feel.

However, I do agree the person in question is garbage.
