![]() Joey is an ass but his posting is few and far between compared to Riot.
This forum needs a break. A battle of two alphas. One gone for good. For the betterment of Nerdy Trail. |

![]() A fallacy that will never happen in our lifetime under the current political structure. A carrot dangling in the wind. Just wait another 4 years...then another...then another.

![]() Having heard the term before but wanting to be precise, I looked it up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarianism According to Wikipedia, the article itself referencing Webster's dictionary, there are two standard definitions for egalitarianism: "It is defined either as a political doctrine that all people should be treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people or the decentralization of power." The first definition sounds like common sense and in keeping with the philosophical underpinnings of our Constitution. The second sounds like redistribution of wealth bordering on socialism. That one I will vote against. |

![]() I am familiar with Thomas Paine.
Barack Obama has very little in common with him, despite all of the grandiosity in the coverage of him by the media. |

you see, a decentralization of power was what our forefathers fought for eight years to gain, against the tyranny of the king (the centralized power), and against a ruling class (which caused economic equalities). i think geo washington and the other founding fathers would be shocked that you found them socialist. of course their peers in england called them worse. imo, romney would be less inclined toward egalitarianism than obama. |
