I've Asked, and Seen Nothing but Avoidance

Was that so fucking hard?

I feel like I'm counseling addicts.

You are so goddamn annoyin.

Yeah I guess the multiple comments chugged out inside a couple of minutes can get grating, but I have to give my props to the guy, he's still to date the only Liberalish person I've ever seen care about the Constitution.

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Dano, you have no idea how I feel about The Constitution.

You are WAY to wrapped up in ideology to care about said document.

I'm addicted to infrequented political message boards. Nothing is so rewarding as debating the same small group of people day in, day out, pretending they might actually have a chance of changing views.

Are you drunk again? Quick where's Desh, this night could end up interesting after all...

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Nice argument. Could you try something less ridiculous?

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Try looking at the original post. Are you capable of doing something more than Straw Man?

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Dano, most of those watching know that you are little more than cannon fodder. Try to present yourself as something more.

To answer you, BAC, this is what I think the core mission of government should be (also, everyone here needs to realize that I asked about the mission of government in general, not the mission of OUR government)

"To establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty for everyone."

I don't disagree with any of that.

The government is what it is, AC. It has no "mission'.

I have to agree with this.
Of course all have their ideal of what they think govts mission is, but are any of them correct ?

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Dano, could you please define "Liberalish"?

Does not being a conservative automatically make some "Liberalish"?

What IS the mission of government? I've asked this question several times, and all I see is people AVOIDING the question.

CLUE: What you feel THE Government should NOT do, is NOT an explanation of what you think A government's mission should be, in general.

Honestly, too many of you are too afraid to answer the question honestly, because you KNOW that you are unwilling to accept the REAL consequences of your ideologies.

What IS the mission of government?


"...establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"
