Okay, I’ll bite. I think live music is thrilling. A terrific singer can change up phrasing and intonation, decide to come in ahead of or behind the beat, respond to what’s in her heart or what’s going on in the world. She can keep the material fresh. There is a reason fans of acts like the Grateful Dead or Bruce

It says, “social media meltdown,” as in, others melted down on social media when she failed to perform.

Oh my lard I am laughing anew, there are MEN lurking behind her feather arch, men waiting to fan her. This is bacon-flavored cheese whiz straight outta the can.

I worked retail during the R. Kelly’s Space Jam “I Believe I Can Fly” holiday season.

I name thee ... brother.

Here is the thing, our military was something like the 17th biggest in the world before world war 2. Like the size of portugal’s army or something. Yet within 5 years of Pearl Harbor we had built up the greatest military in the world and we separately defeated the two of the largest military forces in the world while

DON’T YOU SHIT TALK MAMMON, INFIDEL!

Man, if only presidential term limits didn’t exist. Imagine how thoroughly and spectacularly Obama would’ve thrashed him in the debates.

The bayonets line gets me every time. Midway-through, I started trying to imagine if Trump were trying to articulate this same point, and all I got was some jumble about the military being the best and greatest and doing a great job and how he has great respect for it and how its just great.

I live in the US, but by all accounts I’ve heard (from surveys and polls administered in other countries, mostly), Obama and Hillary are well-respected in pretty much every country that didn’t already have a negative view towards America. By all accounts, America’s general standing fell in the Bush years and has risen

“You are just another dramatic fruitcake. You can’t predict the future. However you can read the Bible it tells us how it will end.”

Who produces and distributes public education? Who produces and distributes public roads? Who produces and distributes military protection? Who produces and distributes police and fire departments?

And in ALL of your screed you write this “You have wealth. The government passes a law that taxes that wealth” No. The Fed gov taxes income not wealth unless the estate you’re passing on is 5mil+.

Umm, you ever driven on a road that didn’t have tolls on it? That’s socialism. Ever been to a public school? Socialism. That military people like to salute before football games? Socialism.

“Sure, we’d all love a new bridge to replace the increasingly unsafe one we have. But I’m certainly not willing to murder a man with my bare hands while his family watches me do it, begging for his life, knowing there’s so much more he wanted to do, so much he wants to say, but unable to say it to his loved ones, in

So your test is literally “Is this piece of government spending worth killing stubborn rich people for?” You need to find a new litmus test, my man.

The notion that taxes equal theft is neither technically nor obviously correct in any sense.

You don’t like what they want to spend it on, so you don’t pay your taxes.

One does not have to be a commie, but one does have to be a socialist -something we all are and there is nothing wrong with it. Every country is socialist, they very nature of government is socialist. It exists on a spectrum with varying economic principals -

You lost me at taxing wealth. My wealth isn’t taxed, at all, in any way. Income is taxed. Not wealth.

Who gets killed so we can provide government services? Lots of people die for lack of services, I’m no commie, but police, roads, infrastructure military are all services I couldn’t do without.
