I am not the least bit religious, but I would take the side of a mainstream christian any day over the degenerates on the left, and have no doubt, if the entire country were to choose sides, we would have a much larger team.

As to G. Alston’s point about technology, its true, to an extent. However the Hutus managed pretty well with Iron Age tech, machetes, and they did in more in a lot shorter time than the Spanish Inquisition.

Besides, Spanish…200,000-400,000….Communists….100-200 million. Thats not all tech and more targets. Atheism opens the doors to hell wider than even the Inquisition.

The Four Axes theory is a clever bit, a neat model designed to overexzaggerate the importance of Libertarians, and while it has its uses, its not gospel. The point is thus: If by your definition Statism includes increased military, then Statism should perhaps be tossed as a useless term. Statism is a derogatory term for inappropriate state power. Only an anarcho-capitalist or a pacifist or a left wing moonbat should use it to describe Reagan’s efforts, I think.

And good to talk to you, Colonel.

Can’t face the observation? Call the observer silly names. Your MO, simplified. Pathetic, really. — G Alston

….since you put it THAT way….

….you’ve only reinforced the observation.

In military parlance, we refer to your reaction as ’secondary detonations’. It’s the indication of what we call a ‘catastrophic kill’.

Thanks…..

Well America got the popular choice, but not necessarily the competent part.

The Republicans should court the Constitutional party, the Libertarians and try to regain the Ron Paul groups.

The fuel being to tossed into the fire by the Democrats ought to rally every moderate, Conservative, and even the non-radical liberals. Between the current shenanigans by Pellosi, Reed, Obama, the liberal attacking media, and the One Party government, and their blatant attacks on individual and state rights there really should be a mass run away from the democrats:
1. Attacks on Miss California for her well voiced position on marriage by the liberal attack squads.
2. The Democrats desire to shut down free speech on radio and the internet( including conservative sites like these).
3. The Spending, spending, spending, etc…..
4. The proposal to give Washington DC representatives in Congress, which is a blatant violation of the constitution’s guarantees on state rights.
5. Stimulus package controls on states spending which is also a violation of state rights.
6. The blatant takeovers of the auto industry, banks, and soon to be healthcare.

etc…

Rubbish. Rather, you ignore the observation about militant Ayatollahs, thus proving your intellectual cowardice.

Can’t face the observation? Call the observer silly names. Your MO, simplified. Pathetic, really.

You’re a hoot. — G Alston

…VERY ‘trying’.

While I realize that to you this is the worst possible insult one can hurl at a human being, in the modern world this is akin to accusing me of having a preference for red jellybeans. — G Alson

That wasn’t an ‘insult’. It was an observation, as you later recognize. And you just proved it as being rather accurate.

Thanks for playing….

P.S. It’s not my place to ‘judge’ you. It’s His…..

But it is my place to recognize you for what you are.

Of course it is. Yeah, I know, all of you are a great deal smarter than Pournelle. Here he is again. Read and weep.

An increased military is not Statism. Statism is when the Federal Government gets too involved in the daily lives of the American citizens; for example, Barack Obama had a hand in firing private companies CEO’s.
