Wild West Politics?

Where in the world is the WBC? On 17 Jan 2011 was this:

WBC to preach to the world from the Mike Gallagher Show, in lieu of picketing the funerals of those dead from the GodSmack in Tucson, Arizona where God sent the shooter to punish this nation for her proud sins.

Maybe they need Limbaugh to write their material for them. Oh. Limbaugh is off on a new campaign of hate. This time about Nicole Kidman's baby.

He's moved on from being incredulous that anyone could understand Chinese?

This video (#303) is so slickly made it's easy to see it's superficial appeal,
but there are far too many deliberate false connections between
the blinking of violent images against the soft, smoothly presented dialog.

Understanding the physics of the solar system is not the same as understanding government.
Portraying non-violent actions as childish or ignorance is misleading.
Paying taxes is not "theft of your money"

These are propaganda techniques that draw people in, and then deliver very sinister messages:
"Rise Up" --- "You will be arrested" -- "You will be shot"

I back-tracked the UTube source to a blogger in Canada
who is so almost mesmerizing in delivering left-wing political arguments.
His views are at such extreme levels as to be beyond Libertarian.
I tolerate extreme political views, but I totally reject those which advocate uprisings, or anarchy.

tl;dw: the video is Radar's old argument, that the non-aggression principle is the sole defining law on how people should operate with each other.

The problems with this approach are left as an exercise for the reader.

IIRC, that whole schtick was W.HI.P.'s thing as well. And he's actually Canadian, unlike Radar.

Nicely said Lamp.

It's brain washing, the same as any. You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig.

It is the same way the some extremist religions and cults operate. They expect people to make an illogical leap of faith, and many people do. They will believe because they are chosen. Everyone wants to be special. Some people want it so badly they will leave common sense at the door.

I am tired. I don't even know if I am making sense,but I sure get chatty sometimes when I am tired and or not making sense.

[TheMercenary]

Extremist views on religion, in cults, and now with politics is all beginning to blur into one big messs.

I'm saying it on the basis of stories from fellow students and teachers at his junior college, and his YouTube videos.

As of yesterday, it's official.

Similarly, Dr. Carroll found after five interviews over seven hours that Mr. Loughner experienced delusions, bizarre thoughts and hallucinations and appeared to suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, the judge said. Dr. Carroll considered whether Mr. Loughner was faking a mental illness but reported that he showed no signs of that, the judge said.
