Dan Carlin, Hillary Clinton, and Authoritarianism
Posted on December 1st, 2006 by JTkPosted in politico |
I was listening to Dan Carlins excellent podcast the other day and he called Hillary Clinton a “rather leftist politician” and he’s is wrong about that. His point is well taken, he was talking about her moving to the center to try to appeal to voters for a presidential run, but in the larger picture she is not a leftist politico or a centrist.
She is an authoritarian.
So is George Bush, so is Joe Liberman, Trent Lott, Newt, Pelosi, et. all. These people, along with 99% of our national elected officials, all think that they know what’s good for you. They are going to make sure that they pass laws and regulation to help you, because goodness knows, we are all to stupid to live our lives as we wish.
They are going to protect us, guide us, and make sure that we don’t have to think for ourselves about what is logical or moral.
Want to take a drive by yourself down a quiet country road without a seatbelt?
Not so fast my friend, Mommy government is gonna punish you ( in 49 states ) if she finds out. She has decided this is is not safe for you - Hey she’s just looking out for you - no reason for you to have to worry your pretty little head, she’s doing this for your own good.
The problem is that, on the flip side of authoritarianism is authoritarian submission, where wanna be authoritarian’s bend over for people that they feel are their superiors.
Our once noble and independent citizenry have become sheeple that submit to big nanny government and feel safe because the politicians ( not leaders ) are taking care of them. These politicians have convinced the vast majority of the American Idol watching, Walmart shopping, lemmings that they only have the rights that they give them.
This is completely the opposite of the way our founding fathers set up this republic. We ( the people ) are supposed to have all of the liberties that are not expressly granted to the government.
The Authoritarian’s would have you believe that you only have the liberties that they give you. By continuing to elect authoritarian Republicans and authoritarian Democrats we will continue to allow them to pervert the founding documents of this country.
You’r an asshole. I love Amerikan Idol and shop at Walmart - this is real America
I very well may be an asshole, but at least I am not one of the sheeple…
And American Idol is not “real America” it is a celebration of ignorance. Walmart is not “real america” it is a mega corporation that exists to serve the lowest common denominator.
This is real America. This is real America
