Or he’s going to get brownshirts to drag us ‘kicking and screaming’ to his re-education camps.

Levi’s comment at #6 is the most egotistical thing I’ve ever read on any blog anywhere. Ever.

Perfectly illustrating the point abut leftist arrogance. And ND30 capably tore him apart.

Remember that Marxism, and now socialism (progressive-ism) is largely reactionary – “please slow down the rate of change, creative destruction and need to compete every day. We’d much rather hasten the change the social fabric and attempt to perfect humankind over the keeping society stable, adhering to the old and traditional mores, so all that energy can be invested in competition, improving everyone’s lot.”

What a god complex Levi has.

Rep Thaddeus McCotter On Cavuto 9 February 2010. Sitting in for Neil Cavuto, Charles Payne, asks Rep McCotter.

“Is the GOP up for this, are you going to take the bait.”

Thaddeus McCotter responds “I certainly don’t think we should take the bait.

I just don’t know anymore. I’ve reached the point where I’ve given up on both parties. They are full of people who think they know better. The funny thing is, I know I don’t know better and that all of history has proven no one else knows better, which is why I want others to stay out of my life.

Only a truly enlightened intelligence could come up with something this dazzling.

Our society is the free market, Levi. It’s what this country was founded on. As you and your fellow travelers have strangled our freedom in the past fifty years, things have not gotten better.

You may fool yourself, and you may fool your oh-so-sophisticated friends, but the rest of us see right through your line of bullshit and we’re gonna call it out for exactly what it is. You can’t call yourself a friend of liberty and then complain that people enjoy too much freedom. Not if you want to be taken seriously.

I’m not one of those who’ll argue that the free market is perfect, but given the choice between a system whose failure results in ten million people losing 30% of their retirement assets, and a system whose failure results in ten million people killed outright by the State, I’ll take the former every time, thanks.

The condescension, the haughty moral and intellectual superiority–it’s breathtaking.

I’m so glad that we toothless, illiterate bitter-clingers out here in the swamp have such brilliant men to lead us, kicking and screaming, into the bright utopian future! Because, you know, we-uns is too stoopid to know what’s best for us.

And this:

“a competitive private sector working cooperatively with an organized public sector. Both entities have their strengths and weaknesses but they’re both fundamentally necessary, and when they’re working together correctly, the strengths are multiplied and the weaknesses are minimized.”

Fascist much, Levi?

Dragging people anywhere against their will is called “tyranny” in truly liberal parlance…the fact that so-called liberals repeatedly use this kind of language of “enslaving the masses unto their own freedom” reveals your true colors. I guess the will-to-power requires doublespeak.

That all makes perfect sense, and the only thing a reasonable person could want is to reduce the size of government further and give more control of our society to the free market

The whole idea of the “free market” is that no one gets to control society. That’s why it’s called the “free” market. Because, y’know, it’s actually free. Not “free” in the liberal sense of of “free to do as you’re told under the modern surveillance state,” but “free” in the sense of “being able to do as you like with your body and your property.”

Unfortunately, Levi is right–the march of history was toward liberty and individual rights during the 18th and 19th century, but for the last century, the march of history has been toward concentrating absolute power in the hands of a wealthy, educated class of oligarchs. You know, like the Middle Ages. It’s like were on a road to…something.

I’m smarter than most conservatives, this is beyond any doubt.

gillie #8 attacks Levi:

The danger in our using stereotypes is that speakers or listeners will not realize that even the best stereotypes are accurate only when taken probabilistically. As a consequence, the use of stereotypes can breed racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry.

Levi brushes off gillie and #12 proclaims:

As it stands, a few corporate interests have effectively captured the government and paralyzed it so they can steal absurd amounts of money. It’s not government that’s causing our problems right now, it’s lack of government.

Whew!

Apparently, the blockhead conservatives (acting as corporate interests) who are mostly all dumber than Levi have raped and pillaged the government (yea, verily paralyzed it!) and stolen obscene amounts of money.

Now, according to the enlightened Levi, this battle can only be fought with more government.

Wouldn’t more government just be a larger village of enlightened smart people for the dull witted corporate Huns to pillage and drag off even more booty?

Certainly it was true that when Rome had grown fat and lazy that all that was needed was to increase the size of government. Had they done so, they would still rule the world.

I have never felt more jealous of enlightened, smart people in my whole miserable life. I may order some waygu beef on a silver toothpick to go with my fries and catfish.
