Accidentally telling the truth

Liberalism is a form of neurosis. It compels people to deceive themselves. Thus when they lie to others, they're not aware that they're lying.
What is unfolding in Detroit is a looking glass into the future of America, as brought to you by Tea Party darling governors and their right-wing brethren in Congress. They talk about saving taxpayers money and reducing the size of government, but there has been a common thread uniting the most controversial proposals from the right's newest champions: they all overreach -- and not by a little. Their agenda is not to fix what is not working in civil society. They want to starve the public sector and dismantle public employee unions. - Alternet
Sometimes they even admit it: the public sector and employee unions must go to "fix what is not working in civil society."

I suppose your problem is that a "civil society", by definition, should automatically be the best one we would want, an wouldn't need any fixing. Or you're assuming that by fixing it, they would replace it with a non-civil society. But no, that's not what they meant. There could be many possible civil societies, some of which work better than others; they just want to fix what is not working in ours, while keeping it a civil society. So, try again. - 04-04-’12 18:12
Classic ANUS opening. Vague target, followed by a wild and non-falsifiable accusation, followed by something that pissed you off recently.

Because as we all know, all 'leftists/liberals' everywhere only advocate a science/biology defying mechanical equality, and anyone who doesn't agree with my brand of cultural conformity and homogeneous hegemony is with them. Vijay Prolezak - 06-04-’12 19:48
