"The federal government must step up assistance to help protect" ???

Trump met with Bill Gates prior to Covid and we got a new Federal Agency OWS. MTG is Trump-Humping so hard it appears that she is following in his same footsteps.

That same Microsoft that recently released "Recall" product that snapshots your desktop?

Rand and Massie, that's it.

[Anti Globalist]

Oh yes, because the government has done such an amazing job when it comes to cyber security.

.gov are usually the ones causing the problem.

And they use human beings as "Pawns for Profit". But instead of DEFUNDING all of these programs, stupid human beings would rather blame other innocent human beings, while .gov and the crony corporations really rake it in.

Just ask @Anti Federalist

According to your deed, how much property is your home on? They actually made it onto your private property?

[PAF]

MTG: "competition is healthy... but it would be extremely important for there to be assistance from the federal government".

So, MTG, how much is this going to cost me, to "protect companies" of which products I don't own???

[Anti Federalist]

Not yet, but they did at the last place I lived...turned it into an urban $#@!hole and trespassed and destroyed and stole my property on a nightly basis.

Besides, my home does not end at my property line, nor does my neighbor's.

Community and trust and a nation are all built on the give and take of decent people living in a society.

But you don't believe in any of that, so why are we having tehis conversation yet again.

Correct. I don't. I don't subscribe to communism, even if you try to persuade me that it's nationalism. Or a communal society. Or for the greater good.

Principles. Who needs them?


Which goes back to:

MTG: "competition is healthy... but it would be extremely important for there to be assistance from the federal government".

[Anti Federalist]

You call it communism, I call it a home and nation and community in which to live, thrive and prosper.

And that my children and their children can do the same.

It's called posterity, and I don't want my posterity to be third class citizens in the nation their family built.

You're an anarchist and don't believe in any of this, I get it.

But I am not, in fact, I am no longer what could be called a "Ron Paul Libertarian" if there was such a thing.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have the greatest and utmost respect for Dr. Ron, and would support him in any endeavor he wished to undertake, even at his age.

But politically, I have come a full 360 degrees and am now right back where I started 40 some odd years ago, as a Pat Buchanan, "blood and soil" man.

For a while, I so hated what my home and nation and culture had become, that I was willing to see it all burn down as well.

But I've changed my mind, with age comes wisdom, and I now realize that there are diamonds worth saving, that NEED saving, in the dung pile.

I'm no longer going to take part in tearing western civilization down, just because my enemies have sullied and tarnished and befouled it.

I know you don't believe a word of that...whatever.

Call me commie or a Nazi or whatever you damn please, it means no more to me than being called a racist or homophobe or xenophobe, which is to say, it all means less than nothing to me: I'm calling this $#@! what it is.

And I'll just drop this off here:

"There was an insurrection, but to me, the insurrection has been the people who were allowed into our country to undermine everything that we do, and have free reign, and get a free lunch out of the whole deal anyway. That's probably where there's a bigger insurrection." - Ron Paul

[PAF]

You call it communism,

Call me commie or a Nazi or whatever you damn please

A commie-nazi? A fascist-lib, like Trump?

How'd that bike run go, btw? I might be going to Montana for the bike event, but they only rent Harleys, not Indians, so I might have to eat my words for a few days ;-)

Your blaming the wrong folks, AF. Until the People figure that out, the Left and the Right, and all of the contractors, will continue to profit in an endless cycle - and thank you for it.

So Ron's wrong as well?

Gorgeous day here today. Low 70s and sunny.

Not the best picture, I took that from the top of the hill at Weir's Beach, but zoom it in, it's bikes by the thousands down the hill.

[PAF]

So Ron's wrong as well?

I can't speak for Ron, but I believe if he examined the facts and knew that the government was in fact paying NGOs with tax payer money, his first course of action would be to defund the NGOs. I can't imagine a scenario where if he did understand those facts that he would be fine with continuing the tax payer burden while condoning spending more tax payer money for government solutions.

It's very basic logic.

This should go in the other thread, but damn, that looks just like one of the streets that we stopped to eat at East Coast Sturgis in Maryland!

Oh yes, because the government has done such an amazing job when it comes to cyber security.

Microsoft has done the really amazing job on cyber security. Has there ever been an operating system more accommodating to viruses?

Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting by talking about the thread topic? How did you trigger the statist this time, PAF? Did you call into question the conservatism of a blonde, slightly overweight, not bright but loud female Republican or something?

Ron was the one who encouraged us all to "open up the constitution and read it". He's the one that pointed out that it's only about 6 pages. I learned from someone else at LRC that it's written at an 11th grade level and should be comprehendable by any high school graduate.

Well, I graduated high school, so I'm equipped to understand what's in that document, and yeah, Ron's wrong.

Outside of the very questionably enacted 16th amendment, where in the main body of the constitution does it authorize the fedgov to levy taxes, in a floating, unequal and "progressive" manner, on wages, salaries and tips earned from one's labor?

FFS, you guys accuse ME of going off the rails, and here ya'll are calling Ron wrong about wanting to abolish the income tax.

Strange days indeed...

ETA - The constitution specifically prohibits an income tax as it is not proportional.

No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.

[PAF]

Strange days indeed...

I get that it's the immigrants with no money or political clout who are to blame, and not the fed.gov for funding the NGOs.

So back to topic, are you going to comment on MTG's desire to have Fed.gov assist companies and other people with their personal products, of which you may or may not own? You know, for the benefit of your "community/society/for the greater good"?

[acptulsa]

Why does that put me in mind of Biden and Teslas?

Why isn't @Anti Federalist commenting on that?

Don't you dig his screen name lol?

[Brian4Liberty]

This was actually an interesting discussion. It appears that Biden created the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) to investigate and share best practices for cyber security. They gathered all the information they could from Microsoft, then excluded Microsoft and shared everything with their competitors (which would obviously be Apple). In other words, the usual cronyism and favoritism.

...

It's strange that MTG emphasized that, as the discussion was more about the failure and favoritism of the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB).

"The federal government must step up assistance to help protect" ???
...

The only role I see for government in this is prosecuting cyber criminals (theft, fraud, scams, ransoms, cyber attacks, etc), and having secure government computers.

...Trump met with Bill Gates prior to Covid and we got a new Federal Agency OWS. MTG is Trump-Humping so hard it appears that she is following in his same footsteps.

Oh, another thread about Trump. Never mind then.
