Joe, it's ethics that you constantly dance around. You expect them from everyone on the left. You either live in a paradoxical fantasy world which contradicts your very own moral ethics OR your moral ethics have been replaced by those of the Rendroid.
You totally avoided a question about super pack money, leaving me to draw my own conclusion based on your apparent fear to disclose your opinion. Something you are only afraid to do when placed in a paradoxical situation.
I have moral ethics which are strongly tied to my religion. Even people without a belief in God still have strong moral ethics. One of these ethics is selflessness.
Selflessness is the opposite of the Rand theory of selfishness, although she manages to regard the selfish in high esteem without using the word selfish. She manages to convince people like you that if we collectively engage in selflessness via a government we are slaves.
I'm currently reading a book by Lee Brobst. Perhaps you are familiar with Brobst ? He's big on slavery too. One of his points is that your life is controlled by church law as public policy. You seem to be annoyed by the morality of laws that pertain to public protection at the cost of your personal rights. "Freedoms" as you have been "conditioned" to call them.
Therein lies the paradox that keeps you from answering questions in a straight forward and honest way. Read that again. Your moral compass appears to be in a struggle with your Rand view of Utopia. I could be wrong though. Perhaps you have lost your moral ethics and replaced them with "selfishness" in order to fulfill the Rand persona.
You may think some of us are too dumb to recognize our slavery but we think it is you that doesn't recognize the freedoms you have.
Not everyone studies philosophy, yet everyone has a philosophical opinion relative to their own life.
I personally don't like race based discrimination. I think laws that protect against it are good laws. Whether in the private or public sector. I believe you don't really want to see race based discrimination happen, yet you would strongly support it in the private sector. A paradox in which your loyalty to your philosophy of life contradicts your own ethical morality. That's the paradox.
Or, you totally gave up your moral ethics and are for race based discrimination. If you support race based discrimination in the name of personal freedom, doesn't that make you morally inept? A choice you seem to have made yet greatly fear disclosing.
Similar with super pack money. You fail to give a direct opinion on it. You dance around it like it is a sacred apparatus aimed toward assisting the Rand view of Utopia. But where are your moral ethics ? Having a few rich powerful people buy the government is unethical in my book. it would contradict your opinion of poor choices of political candidates. Yet it is only a negative thing in your book if it Soros. The conclusion one draws from your continued negative onslaught against Soros is that it must be a positive thing when the money supports a Rand point of view. Yet another paradox. You lost your moral ethics in a stance of support for the Rand point of view.
Yes Joe, I know, my morals are not your morals. I hear it on right wing radio all the time. "Don't force your morals on me."
But that is what it all boils down to. Your philosophy vs. my philosophy. My morality vs. your morality. Or as I see it, your lack of morality.
In a given situation you would be for saving money rather than saving lives relative to mercury polution (cap and trade). I on the other hand would side on the side of saving lives.
I see your morals as selfish and very self centered. And the fact that the government intervenes on your selfishness with taxes is the sad reason you think you are a slave.
I hope I didn't use too many words while holding up a mirror for you to see yourself.
