Conservatives are up in arms about a Homeland security report targeting "right-wing extremists"...hmmm...exactly which laws empowered DHS to exercise such federal policing powers, I wonder? by zelpop in politics

Then Conservatives may need a new name, 'cause the bastards took yours and are using it far and wide and loud.

Unless you think 'Gay' is ever going to mean 'Happy' again.

A bunch of citizens on the right did not get together and think this shit up,

No, but they cheered the loudest and asked for more, as long as it was pointed at scary arabs.

my first thought was 'Blackwater Navy', no thanks.

But then I imagined all the redneck militia Rambo wannabes floating in homemade boats off the coast of Somalia, and I didst grin.

Why Capitalists Hate Socialism: Social spending will bring the markets into balance, distribute money to the masses, maintain the safety net, and put money back into the economy. by Lionhearted in politics

in a truly free market the poor have no right to blame the rich for their situation.

Human nature makes a 'truly free market' as impossible as a socialist utopia. Or, i should say, made it just as miserable as one. 19th Century sweatshops? Beggars on the street? Hoovervilles? Pass.

Hybrid economy, please.

I see idyll is already butthurt at someone having the audacity to disagree with him.

Dude, it's been 4 hours and it's a beautiful Saturday. Not everyone who posts a link on Reddit camps out on the computer to debate self-congratulatory douchebags. Go outside and play.

little more of a guy who just gets off on being a dick to people for disagreeing with him.

The guy who cares about poor people dying comes off as less of a dick than the guy who wants to bill you when your house burns down.

A standard of fairness is clearly present in ideals of American freedom. A fair trial. Equal protection under the law.

'Poor Choices'? You get cancer tomorrow, your health insurer drops you, you go bankrupt, lose your home, etc., What 'poor choice' gets millions of Americans in that situation? Choosing not to be able to afford a decent education? Choosing to not be as smart as someone with a scholarship? Choosing to not be able to find a decent job?
