From a theoretical point of view wouldnt the right wing want to abolish goverment all together? Just from the point of view that its not the job of anyone to surport anyone else and you get what you can take surly that would mean they are oposed to ANY form of goverment wouldnt it? Doesnt that mean that any polly who comes from a right wing philosophy is a hypocrit just for runing for office?
But thats what they are arnt they? either that or they are just using it as an excuse to get money in which case they are corupt by defult. In order to want to help other people dont you HAVE to lean at least a little to the left?
A good chunk of the right basically has the position that the federal government shouldn't have to do whatever private citizens or state governments can feasably do. It should basically keep to doing stuff like maintaining national infrastructure, fighting wars, preventing piracy, national security, and keeping the states in line. Anarchists believe that man is inherently good and that we really don't need government or police or anyone telling us what to do. This scenario can be seen in the wreckage of New Orleans when order evaporated. What happens here The chunk of the right in question believes that man is inherently stupid, but the stupidity will partially cancel itself out on a large scale if a basic framework is set to supply the guidelines and a little enforcement. This position can be observed working in the free hand of the market in capitalistic economies, among other places.
AH but even if we just take your example how many people belive in a true free econamy? That would say that those who have are free to sell to the highest bidder with no other concerns but money right? Using oil for example and picking on the USA Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!p sorry but you guys do claim to be the bastion of captialisum) If for example china said that they will pay any price for all the oil that can be bought and so the US lost its surplie of forign oil (say that the oil companys inside the US are more patriotic and that your surplie is lessend rather that compleatly cut) would the US goverment and citizans alike aploud how captilaisum was winning out or cry poor?
Asguard, I think you're seeing or commenting ONLY on the extremes and that does no one any good. The normal, usual right wing advocates are as Clockwood mentioned in his first paragraph. In your own response, you've countered with an extreme example in some attempt to show that right wingers are wrong or don't consider all of the possibilities ....but then no one considers ALL of the possibilities ....and that's why we have governments and elections and the military. There's just no way to use extremist actions/attitudes to prove anything ...just don't work. The right believes in a free economy, but they're not so stupid as to think that a "true" free economy would work either. Baron Max
yea, just seems that politics is drifting that way, still i cant see how anyone on the right (and this time i mean people like bush and howard who are surposedly MAINSTRAEM right) could complaine with that example without being a compleate hipocrite. Or am i missing something?
No, ye're not missing anything ......but ye're allowing yourself to be deluded into thinking that there's no hypocracy in the world! How foolish of you! Every human on Earth, including all of the bleeding-heart, doo-gooder liberals are NOTHING but hipocritcal! In fact, I'm not sure, but I think a person needs injections of "hypocrit" in order to even be in politics!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Baron Max
Yes, it is. Now ....what to do about that? Ooooh, let's just not let people BE politicians!!!!! Make it a law that no one can be a politician for more than one term. In that way, no one can actually last long enough to BE what we call "politicians". As soon as they began to show signs of the "disease", we kick 'em out of office and elect someone else that does not have the "disease". Back in the old days, democratic politicians seemed to have ....ahh, honor and integrity. That's not the case any longer, if it actually ever was. Baron Max
