Reid: 'Anarchists have taken over'

[green73]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday said “anarchists” have taken over Congress.

Reid (D-Nev.) said Tea Party Republicans are preventing progress on an energy efficiency bill by offering amendments on ObamaCare and other unrelated issues.

“We’re diverted totally from what this bill is about. Why? Because the anarchists have taken over,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “They’ve taken over the House and now they’ve taken over the Senate.

“People who don’t believe in government — and that’s what the Tea Party is all about — are winning, and that’s a shame.”

Well, Harry, see the problem is that nobody makes a coherent argument for believing in government.
All we have is the same tired old platitudes that haven't worked ever since free speech was given its first real platform in the history of mankind on the internet.

Like I said yesterday, there is a subtle shift going on. In our favor mind you.

Reid has spent his entire adult life enriching himself on the government dole off taxpayer's backs. 44 years in government... does anyone expect any less from a statist Con Men... how's the Audit of the Federal Reserve you demanded during the 1980s & 90s Harry? Oh that's right, it's all about the bankers and THE FED controlling the country you POS sellout for your power position.

Harry Reid is one sick fuck.

[A Son of Liberty]

The anarchists have taken over, eh? Well I guess that means I can ignore my "tax bill" without consequence now then, right? L. LO. LOL. LO-FUCKING-L! LO-FUCK YOU HARRY L!

NOT YET WE HAVENT.
C U IN 2016 BITCH

[Snew]

[Noob]

Democrates always offer amendments on unrelated bills.

It's probably not a good strategy to give any kind of legs to Reid's ridiculous statement. The Tea Party aren't anarchists and it certainly isn't what our liberty candidates are about, either. They are about upholding the Constitution and that includes putting the federal government back within its constitutional boundaries.

Somebody needs to "take over"..

[donnay]

In 1913 we were taken over by Fascists! A little anarchy is only a transition to get us back on the right heading.

One amendment that needs to be proposed often is term limits.

Yeah! As soon as we overthrow the off-shore bankers, everything will be just fine and jim-dandy!

[Red Green]

By Reid's definition, if you don't want the feds regulating the way you wipe your ass and having the NSA watching to make sure you do it right, you're an anarchist. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

[buck000]

Am I the only one who finds irony in his statement? I mean, wouldn't true anarchists have nothing to do with being in an established government?

Minarchists, maybe.

Small government statists, maybe.

Libertarians, even.

But anarchists (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchy)?

If I'm not understanding the term he uses, then my apologies...

The irony is that we actually need true anarchists in govt now. They're the only ones who understand that govt sucks ass at everything and will act accordingly.

I wish! The anarchists are in Washington, and they're not the good kind of anarchists either.

Anarchists "taking over"? Isn't that a logical fallacy? :p

[Athan]

I also see this shift going on. The statists are staggering. We should start coalitioning more with democratic leaning groups and nail them harder. Help them to take out RINOS encumbents, protests of Monsanto, and have them help us more with undermining the Federal Reserve and going after big brother.

Individually, maybe, but not as the liberty movement. Not unless the goal is to drive voters away from our candidates who are running as Republicans.

I thought we had pretty much come to terms that your goals and our goals aren't the same.
Perhaps if you didn't bail out on those arguments after two posts you might have realized that by now.

[Carlybee]

The puppets in Washington are minions of bad anarchy....chaos peddlers there to keep everything off balance and totally fubared.

[donnay]

Yeah! As soon as we overthrow the off-shore bankers, everything will be just fine and jim-dandy!

It's doable.

[A Son of Liberty]

It's doable.

No it's not. Because the enemy of liberty does not end - nor does it even BEGIN - with "the off-shore bankers who've occupied our government". Not even in the slightest. And to imagine that is all it would take is to be even more deluded than those people whom you consider to be "not awake".

[Suzanimal]

I'm not an Anarchist but turds like Reid are really pushing me more and more in that direction.

Perhaps things wouldn't change to an overnight utopia considering the natural inclination of man to exercise petty power over their neighbors as well as the natural evil (various degrees, of course) in man but that is not to say that these assholes need not be out of dictating our monetary policy. One thing that would stop overnight is the endless, aggressive wars. Priorities would have to be set and with the right mindset instilled in the people, that could really work out. Hell I'd be elated if at some point in my lifetime taxes weren't levied to evaporate men, women, and children in countries that have not done me, or anyone I can speak of, any wrong.

It would be a game changer, though there is always a tyrant waiting for the opportune moment.

I agree. It would be a start, and a grand one at that. But this idea that all it's going to take is "kicking out the offshore bankers" is a pipe dream. The work will have only just begun. Indeed, I would say that would be the easier part of it.

If only the claim were true - Reid is a dangerous little sissy and the world would be better off were his means of transportation to become involved in a catastrophic event of some localized sort while in the back seat Barney Frank was riding him reverse cowgirl style as Nancy Pelosi sat on his face.

Oh GOD I just grossed myself out.

But notice how he misuses language - in this case "anarchy" to stretch the meaning, rather wildly I might add. If the meaners had any brains, education, and character, they'd be eviscerating him on this point relentlessly such that he would simply step down, go home, lock himself in his study, and shoot himself. Oh to dream the impossible dream.

Hehe, yes, the more I familiarize myself with politicians' behavior, the more dismayed I become... ;)

Well, Harry, see the problem is that nobody makes a coherent argument for believing in government.
All we have is the same tired old platitudes that haven't worked ever since free speech was given its first real platform in the history of mankind on the internet.

Other problem is Govt makes no coheret argument for anyone to believe in it. Trust is something that is earned, and they have proved to us time and time again that they will only abuse their powers to usurp more and more powers to abuse with. If they want people to trust their Govt, Govt needs to be Trustworthy.

Govt burned its own ass on this one by behaving as Untrustworthy as is possible.

[Occam's Banana]

His head would explode.


Probably would call them terrorists.

"Anarchists are terrorists - they make Statists' heads explode!!!"

That's right bitch, we are taking over step by step. This is our R3VOLUTION and it will not be stopped. We literally just stopped the next planned war and you politicians are incredulous. Suck it Reid!

The best thing about inept, crony, powerful politicians is that when they realize they are losing the battle for the hearts and minds of the public they simply don’t know what to do. Ultimately, this leads to moments of public displays of dementia, such as the one exhibited by Harry Reid on the Senate Floor earlier today. I find it quite interesting that he refers to Congressional Representatives elected by the public as “anarchists” in such a demeaning manner. I suppose it’s only when things go his way that he believes in democracy.

In any event, his display is a total embarrassment and his pathetic ramblings are merely more evidence of “the people’s” recent grassroots political victories. I suppose it’s also anarchic to want to not start World War III, right Harry? Enjoy!
[...]
Perhaps the following from the Ludwig von Mises Institute will help claify a few things for Mr. Reid,

Who Are The Real Anarchists?

Few political ideologies are as misunderstood as anarchism. Confusion is so widespread, in fact, that those ignorant of this intellectual tradition often use the word “anarchism” as a synonym for “chaos.” Some of the confusion may arise from the fact that anarchism is today often solely associated with the anti-private-property anarchists of the nineteenth century, such as the followers of Mikhail Bakunin.

Indeed, this variety of anarchism was so dominant through the first half of the twentieth century that Ludwig von Mises, writing in Liberalism, mockingly asked “[c]an it, then, be assumed, without falling completely into absurdity, that, in spite of all this, every individual in an anarchist society will have greater foresight and will power than a gluttonous dyspeptic?”

Writing in 1927, Mises’s experience with anarchists was with those who sought to tear down every form of human institution, from the market to the family to religious groups. Not surprisingly, Mises was somewhat skeptical that a society scraped bare of all tried and true human institutions would enter a phase of utopia.

In the libertarian tradition, however, the anarchist society is merely the society in which individuals are not governed by a state built on monopolized violence and coercion, but instead govern themselves through organizations into which they have entered voluntarily. Among such institutions can certainly be found churches, schools, families, professional associations, markets, and tribes.
[....]
Indeed, anarchism’s importance in the political realm is perhaps greater than ever, and its continued relevance again came to the fore in May when Kelefa Sanneh, writing in The New Yorker, discussed the influence of anti-capitalist anarchist David Graeber who has become prominent in the Occupy Wall Street Movement. In his article, however, Sanneh, could not ignore Murray Rothbard, whom Sanneh describes as “one anarchist who could be considered influential in Washington” and as “Ron Paul’s intellectual mentor, which makes him the godfather of the godfather of the Tea Party.”

One can certainly debate Rothbard’s anarchist influence among Tea Partiers themselves, but the importance of Rothbard’s anarcho-capitalist thought within the larger libertarian movement is noteworthy...

[Athan]

Individually, maybe, but not as the liberty movement. Not unless the goal is to drive voters away from our candidates who are running as Republicans.

I'm glad you brought this up. I would have agreed with you before as it was prudent to keep up our principles in focus since it would have been easy to get thrown in with people who aren't really sure what they are about, what they are fighting for, and how to fight for them. What I am seeing however now is some real disarray from their war plans being blown in their face and a united populace aware of their lies from the Snowden whistleblowing.

You NEVER hold back when your foes are in disarray even if it is with a movement. That is when you hammer them HARDER and don't waste time doing it. Keep them off balance, keep ruining their attempts to redevelop a plan, keep on them till serious cracks and fissures begin to develop in their ranks. RINO's are in a panic, democrats are now in a panic from the anti-war left, we don't need to agree with the philosphy, but organize our coalitions to politically hammer and route them.

If the "Liberty Movement" if it is just an image and nothing else, then the movement is a facade. If it is a tool then don't be afraid to use it for it's intended purpose.
