Until we meet again in the comments.

Our profoundly different, conflicting worldviews are both correct and anyone who disagrees with either of us is wrong and should probably be executed via one million paper cuts to the eyeball. This conversation is officially stale. Agreed?

ps: You must argue with some pretty lame liberals if 'chicken little' offends them.

Apples and oranges. Pointing out things you see as wrong is one thing. The chicken little comment comes from the inherent fear associated with freedom, such as saying if we follow the Constitution more closely then we must also accept flagrant racist slave ownership again. To me, chicken little arguments try to win the fight by juxtaposing extremely bad historical human events with giving people the right to life and liberty beyond the rule of government. I really love that chicken little moniker, because it really does get under Dem's skin.

Congratulations on getting the point. Same goes for pointing out the problems with 'libertarian philosophy'.

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Haha. Yes, pointing out problems with a two party system is exactly the same as being a chicken little. LOL. Right, right. Keep fighting the good fight, dft.

When you complain about the two party system and democracy hanging by a thread, it sounds an awful lot like 'The sky is falling'. Just saying... it's a little chicken littly.

The Philosophy of Liberty (aka Libertarianism made easy!)
DFT, Libertarian embodies exactly the tried principles of the framers. It is not a hypothesis. Self-actualized, self-reliant humans with natural rights to life and liberty no government can give them because they are natural. Thus, the government doesn't own you. These are the principles of the founding fathers. Public school systems, socialized health care and large government oversight are not.

The go to argument for chicken littles. You don't know much about the start of our country, do you? We almost didn't win our independence. We almost lost the Revolutionary War. The colonists and loyalists were divided. Our government almost dismantled itself before it begain. Jefferson wanted to add language into the Constitution declaring slaves to be self-actualized and free humans (paraphrasing), but the southern states with slave interests threatened succession if any language went into a document demanding slavery be abolished. Knowing solidarity was the only option to keep the colonies unified in this fight against England, they changed the language to hint that all men are created equal. Jefferson was a walking contradiction. He wanted slaves to be free, but he, too, was a servant owner. Nothing is ever perfect. Even people.

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
Sooooo, you're saying you want to return to a time when only white male property owners could vote and slavery was legal?

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
The Constitution isn't in the hypothesis stage. This has always been about restoring our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence to the Jeffersonian principles. It's the chicken littles who confuse our process of restoring Jeffersonian principles with trying to restore Hamiltonian principles, which is very much the opposite.

As Ron Paul would say, "Tyranny is an old idea; freedom is very new." We're trying to go back to the original ideas of this country and give freedom another chance before it was hijacked by the cock-a-doodle-doos.

I always knew we were at a political impasse, if by impasse you mean we've not reached an original intention of arriving at some sort of consensus. I don't debate you and and NR to change you or to prove I'm right. I really do it because it's the underdog perspective on the site, and the political meme is currently in a bad place with this two party system and Obama vs. McCain. Whoever wins, America loses.

And, yes, cat farts.


In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
My problem with Libertarianism is that it is still in the hypothesis phase. Why should I have any faith in this untried, untested, political philosophy? If there were some empirical evidence that suggested its effectiveness, I might be more receptive, but at this point it is a philosophy built entirely on faith and (sorry to say it) hype. If being skeptical of hypothetical politics makes me a chicken little, then I've got 4 words for you: Cock. A. Doodle. Do.

I think we are at a political impasse here, but it's important to remember that while differences may come between us, we still share a very deep and spiritual love for cat fart jokes. Truce.

Inherently so. Yes.

So.... a smaller government would be immune to corporate influence? Not buying it.
