    The lesson here is that Tariffs do not work, whether it be Obama, Bush, or Trump. Personally, I feel the binary system we have now just pits us against each other and we miss the lesson all together. The big picture lesson is that governments cannot intervene in the free market without distorting it, thus creating higher prices. But no, that's not the fashionable thing to do....we have to call the President every name in the book and show glee that his supporters (and I bet non-supporters) are hurting because some of his poor policy choices. It would be different if you guys were getting to the heart of the matter, but the divisive rhetoric and constant Trump bashing really drives a wedge between all of us.

    You actually feel joy that American citizens are being hurt by tariffs? This right here is what's wrong with party politics. I would hope you were as rabid about Obama's tariffs on tires, but it wouldn't surprise me if you were not aware we spent 1.1 billion more on domestic tires due to those tariffs. The issue here is tariffs do not work and Trump and Obama were both regarded for implementing tariffs that hurt consumers.

    I'm really wondering if he was under the influence of drugs (legal or illegal.)

    He still looks like a normal dude amongst goofballs though imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just discovered Mark Tippetts, he doesn't fit the mold of the goofballs that Anastasis illustrated: https://mark4gov.com/

    I'm more interested in the Mises Caucus of the LP that has been coined the libertarian wing of the Libertarian Party of all things!

    What swindle is that? The cynical view that organized religion has been a tool to control the masses by corrupt men? That they hijacked what Jesus Christ stood for (helping the poor and selflessness) to serve their own selfish ends? I hold that view now, but that doesn't mean that Jesus Christ, the Man, did not exist in our history. Also, I still doubt a lot of the Bible's stories, but I don't rule out the possibility that it was written by men embellishing as to how Jesus Christ lived. Is that so far fetched? Please elaborate on how you still think I fell for what you claim is the biggest swindle of all.

    Well there you go, a reasonable answer. I don’t know either. I think it’s pretty sad that some on the board will just shit on everyone else over a disagreement on beliefs or history. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay, forgive me for the negative question. Let me ask this way: Some suggest Jesus' early opponents never made the argument that he never existed. Why would you think that was? Some would argue that it's rather suggestive of his existence.

    I suppose I did do that. My bad.
  12. American Swindle
    I get it. I suppose I imagined that we could have a simple discussion, because I, myself, have been looking into it as of late. Anyway, yeah good points. I concede.
  13. American Swindle
    Let me ask you directly: Did Jesus Christ exist or not?
  14. American Swindle
    Okay well I'll admit the "asking for a friend" part was a joke. Let me put it positively then. My question simply is: Did the man, Jesus Christ, exist or not and are their any texts that lend proof, besides the bible, that he in fact was a documented human being? Seriously. Threw in asking for a friend because I thought it would put that surly, jerky spin on it, but apparently it struck a nerve with some of you guys. Sorry it hit some of you in the vag. And nice work throwing me in with the Qanon group, wouldn't be a Surly politics thread without generalizing anyone who disagrees as a Trumper conspiracy theorist.

    What proof do you have that Jesus did not exist? Asking for a friend.

    In my opinion, I that there's likely many more Sanders supporters that said "fuck the DNC, i'm voting for Trump."
  17. American Swindle
    I know first hand people that were Bernie Sanders supporters that voted Trump as a protest vote. What does that say about the effect that the DNC had on the election?

    Thankfully your not. Moderation, discipline dude.

    This is cockamamie. The government should protect private property rights, if a private company is dumping toxic waste or contaminating water, then the free market would force them out of business and hold them accountable. Did the state DEQ of Michigan protect those in Flint from dirty water? Is that organization still alive and well? Some people got fired, but the state apparatus (which is likely ridden with un-incentived workers) is still intact.

    Moderation is key and takes discipline, which is what freedom is all about. It seems a lot of people on this forum trust our state overlords to regulate and do the right thing. The state is the locus of sociopathic and narcissistic behavior and I for one DESPISE narcissists that think they have the solutions to everyone's everyday lives.

    You’d rather risk war with a nuclear power than ease things throw diplomacy? Where have all the anti-war Democrats gone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you remember what helped end the Cuban Missile Crisis? If Rand is truly for peace, then would you not support such a thing? To boot, you are spewing vitriol and resorting to name calling rather than providing anything of substance. I am trying not to stoop to that level with you guys, because frankly, it's not really bringing anything meaningful to the discussion.

    You mean burglarized your house? Does this burglar have nuclear weapons that could wipe out the face of the Earth? If building relations with a foreign adversary prevented Nuclear war, would you be for or against it?
  24. American Swindle
    Exactly. Oh, and how about Saudi Arabia? They literally crucify people for attending anti-government rallies and for being a homosexual, but we sure do have a relationship with them don't we? They make Russia look like San Francisco when it comes the treatment of the LGBTQ+ community.

    When it comes to the so called "Decline" of Rand, the hysteria and backlash coming from those on the Left in the country is on a berserk and staggering level. Surely he knew such backlash would come. This begs a simple question: What if he is truly seeking peace? If the answer is yes, then he's doing a lot more than all the other assclowns in Congress aside from a select few in my opinion.
