    Of course it's true. That was a major debate from the beginning and still is.

    capitalism is what this country was founded upon, the founding fathers absolutely despised big government. small businesses aren't hurting people. big government is.
    No one is saying small business is hurting people. But you go ahead and keep fighting that fight I guess.

    You may want to go back and review the articles of confederation and subsequent Cons ution if you think they all hated big government. Oh, and the federalist papers.

    So basically the argument only goes one way. That's probably why you never see the reverse argument and that answers your question.

    No, you're making it into either or. Its not either or. Being in favor of a reasonable government does not mean you're against small business but thats the strawman you go to.

    There's a legitamate debate and differences in ideology regarding the amount of government you need. That has absolutely NOTHING to do with the bull rhetoric you hear about Obama being socialist (just ing laughable) and how we're stifled by government.

    Making the argument that small businesses benefit greatly from government provided infrastructure and services is one that should be common ing sense but the fact that its having to be explained to people shows that Obama was obviously correct in pointing it out.

    Sure. But when the state becomes religion in this country, and takes away your civil liberties in the name of fear, while rapidly expanding and running massive deficits so that they can wage war against you via militarization of police and massive fusion centers where we are all being spied on funded by tax payer dollars, I think it's safe for everyone to say that's a bit too much. Obama comes from a different ideology, he thinks the state should reign supreme and dominate every aspect of our lives. It's the liberal "utopia" described in 1984.

    You don't lead with the straw man.

    And George Orwell was a socialist.

    George Orwell was a strong believer in socialism, yet 1984 was him describing a "Liberal Utopia"....

    He heard Alex Jones' interpretation of 1984, which is basically the same thing

    Because there's nothing at all Big Brother-ish about forcing an entire nation to read a novel.

    I'm just wondering why a socialist would write literature that depicted a "liberal utopia" so negatively.
