Just because I like showing off my UTSA education, it's "toe the line."

Incorrect.

And to be clear, so I dont come across as some dim-witted moron looking for an excuse to go all McVeigh on that ass, this is the San Antonio Spurs Political Forum.

Its nice to get into some good debates with well-informed to totally bat crazy people spanning all topics. TBQH, I learn a lot here. Not about the news of the day, but more about the different perspectives different people have on the world. Mostly its an American point of view, but as you all know, you guys here at ST have some globe-trotting members who lend their perspective as well. Thats what interests me.

I want to make this short, but thats hard for me to do...

Bravo. This country used to be about raising the middle finger to tyranny. Then the powers that be found out that tyranny isn't such a bad thing and that the American people can be made to give up their liberty with the right kind of bribes. Somewhere along the way the people acquiesced to the notion that their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness was not the end to which the state served, but rather a distraction from the real business of serving the American state in its rush to greatness. Just think, you could be part of something bigger than yourself. Here's some free too!!!1

We will not learn our lesson from this crisis. More liberty will be expended and yet, the same old, same old, will keep on. We'll try to have low taxes and a larger nanny state while still expecting to leverage ourselves to the hilt to cover that, as well as to buy all the wonderful which the world wants to sell to us. It's a national emergency anytime economic growth declines, let alone disappears altogether, because so many promises require it never to fade, even for an instant. Not to mention that we're generally soft as a people.

I too, do not see a pleasant end to this. We are in uncharted territory. It's the end of a decadent people in a decadent time.

"Tyranny" is when the other guys are in power.

It's all the time now.

...regardless of some meaningless consonant at the end of some politicians le.

Why otherwise intelligent people get hung up on party affiliation is something I will die never understanding.

Your name could be Suck from the Flamboyant got Pageant Party...if youre for government non-intervention in social issues and your entire economic policy is one sentence that reads "Balance budget, reduce deficit", I dont care whose youre swallowing. Youve got my vote.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

do you suspect foul play?

no
