    Not saying that the French revolution did not "work". I am saying that for those who went through it that the revolution became something that all feared.
    The revolution took on life of its own and most of that life was hell bent on the taking of lives. Even lives that helped start the revolution. Once it began it soon became clear that no one rich or poor were safe.

    That is because it is the government doing the contracting.
    Halliburton does a much better and cheaper job for private companies.
    If they did not the private corps would use someone else.
    So this is not a problem of Halliburton being worse than the government. It was the government. Just going through Halliburton.
    Are you really incapable of seeing this?

    I can solve the banking issues.
    Kill FDIC. Take it away and shoot it. It is a horrible monster which has made the banks customers fools.
    FDIC makes it so you do not have to think about what a bank is doing with your money. All you want to hear about is low costs and high interests.
    Safety means nothing. "My money is federally insured. I want a toaster!"
    Banks used to have to compete on the safety of your money as well as service and interest rates. What did you think would happen when it no longer made any business sense to compete on safety? I am not an anarchist. I believe that there are things that only a strong federal government can and should do.
    Rest assured though that the government will do those things slowly, badly and expensively. But the truth here is that we have not seen an unregulated banking system.
    What we have seen is a banking system with most of the federal rules torn out but with a big federal banner stating that no bank can ever again fairly compete on safety.

    Mostly you do not have other people coming in and fixing your problems for you.

    The tea part is not against taxes. They are against very high taxes and wasteful spending.
    (Side note: Thank you so much for using the term "tea party". So many feel the need to disparage all they disagree with and use the term "tea baggers". It makes me listen to nothing they have to say afterwards.)
    The government makes it fiscally irresponsible to not report your charitable donations. Are you saying that Liberals give just as much as a percentage of income as conservatives they just are refusing to get the tax benefits?
    Also I have never thought of Newt as an actual conservative. He is a politician. He wants in the end the government to have the power. The difference between big government republicans and big government democrats does not concern me in the least. They are both equally bad in slightly different ways.

    I wasn't going to respond to your original troll since it was at -1 and nobody would see it, but since someone else did (rather stupidly IMO) I must.

    I am a Christian. I am also a liberal. Now, your statements about ME (you asshole):

    Really Christian there.

    You have to remember that if you are a liberal everything to do with religion is horribly bad.

    Jesus was a liberal. "Liberal" means "generous," "conservative" means "stingy". "Conservative Christian" seems to me an oxymoron.

    Mixing definitions liberal only proves that you are incapable of thinking or that you are doing on pourpose to prove a point that you can not prove in any other way. Liberal. In the way we both knew I meant was in the political sense.

    Jesus was against everything conservatives are for. Taxes? "Render unto ceasar that which is ceasar's."

    Conservatives are not against taxes. Never heard of a non anarchist that thought that we should pay zero taxes.

    Feeding the poor? Conservatives are against it, Christians and liberals are for it.

    Ever looked at the difference in percentage of income given to charities between liberals and conservatives?

    Accumulating wealth? Jesus was against it. "It is as hard for a rich man to enter heaven as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Then there's the story of the starving, ill Lazarus and the rich man. Guess which one went to hell?

    So you are saying that liberals are against being wealthy? I think that you would find many liberals that would call you out on that. By all means though go on.

    They do not believe in freedom of speech. Or freedom of religion. Speech is for ideas you agree with and religious freedom is the freedom to never have to see it in your peripheral vision.

    Absolute bullshit. You're either ignorant or lying.

    Are you saying that I am wrong about everything ever?

    I don't know about him, but I am. You want to worship Satan or Rick Perry, that's fine with me, fool. You want to call me a fool? Go ahead, I'll laugh in your face.

    Now go take your meds.

    So the liberal left is not trying to strip religion from seals, courtrooms, crosses on mountains and every where else? You can choose to see it or not but calling me ignorant or a liar is a bit strong when we both can see the direction these things are taking.
    I hate to dissect your post in such a way as to not allow much room for you to save some face. Next time put a little thought into your pissed off rant. use a little less name calling and try to be a little bit nicer. It will make you better and happier.

    Worker safety started as workers started getting more opportunities to work. As opportunity rose the need to risk ones life to work went down and companies started giving workers safer and safer workplaces to compete for workers. As workers started demanding more safety not only were they getting it but that drove the government into action as well. Creating OSHA. OSHAs creation was the result of the same demands that workers were already making.

    But I am sure that you are right. Only because of OSHA did workers get safer. Any data showing safety rising in the years just before OSHA are made up by lunatic right wing nut jobs who only want mega world corps running rough shod over the hard working little guy.
