In their rejection of government and governance, Republicans are the next best thing to Anarchists

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

If you think about it.

They tell sweet little fables about why governance and regulations are unnecessary bureaucratic strangulation of private enterprise which is entirely capable of regulating itself through make believe entities like "the invisible hand of the marketplace."

Self-regulation is a myth. If there is no oversight, no consequences, no rules, you will literally create anarchy which has just about occurred. No boundaries creates a world where economic robber barons take over with a limitless lust. The word "enough" ceases to have meaning. It's like expecting the Mongols or the Visigoths or the Vandals to say something like, "Well, that's enough plundering and looting of this town. Let's leave some for the next horde." Ain't gonna happen.

It's childish, it's stupid and it's dangerous to demonize government the way the Republicans have done.

1. They are a hoot

They grew the gov't the past eight years, things have gone to crap and their message:? bush wasn't a conservative and conservative values were dormant the past eight years. limbaugh is right, they are all comedians.

Not one member of the party of responsibility wants to take responsibility for anything.

2. No, anarchists are socialist libertarians.

By contrast, GOPers are like the garden-variety capitalist libertarians, but without the latter's lip service to personal liberty.

3. I'm sorry, but how is it possible to be both a socialist and an anarchist?

How could one possibly be a "socialist libertarian"?
