I really want John McClaine's wife from Die Hard to punch this guy in the face.

Imagine... Imagine a world where the poors died from easily treatable things, like God intended.

I like Cruz. He's got a "We really need to appeal to conservatives so we'll pick him to be our vice presidential candidate and screw ourselves over in the process, guaranteeing a democrat White House win" aura about him.

That got a chortle from me.
The courage to remove contraceptive coverage!
The courage to remove health care benefits for staffers!
The courage to
Truly courageous. If Kennedy were alive today he would write about them in his sequel "Profiles in Courage 2: Profile Harder".

No fucking way. It's not like Palin, who was an unknown to most, who turned into a disaster. Cruz is a known commodity with negatives rising by the day, and even a large chunk of Republicans don't like him. I just can't see it happening.
i like cruz. he's a master troll on the level of herman cain. disingenuous piece of shit or not, the level of crazy he blasts out save him from being annoying like the rand pauls of the world.
i also love that weird face he makes when trying to look like a passionate crus(z?)ader

Launching mah Cruz missiles:
It's not so important that it actually happens. He's doing his best to split the party into the true believers and the RINO's.
You might say this isn't socialism
But you'd be the only one
I hope some day you'll become a capitalist
And go to Walmart and buy a gun
Looks like a white flag to me. =D

Came upon this from the Washington Post recently. It's a small piece using talk of the Tea Party congresspeople/sympathizers as anarchists to discuss the spirit of anarchism.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-leadership/wp/2013/10/11/the-tea-party-is-giving-anarchism-a-bad-name/
It's pretty misguided in intention (where's Egypt at now? did anarchists really propagate the 1% narrative, and if so what's the difference between the anarchist "spirit" and being an anarchist) but I like a couple of things that it acknowledges from "anarchists" like this:
Like any ideology, it seems reasonable for anarchists to make these concessions, though I'm very skeptical of the mechanics of bolded. I don't see where the anarchists are in America anyway (besides the couple of twentysomethings that were arrested a year or two ago) but there you have it.
edit: this post's tone doesn't properly reflect what I think, in retrospect. First, I actually quite like the surface level things of what anarchism without adjectives propagates (except I need it to be that egalitarian shit, not ancap or whatever), at least with regards to this article. However, I'm skeptical of the article's decision to frame things like Occupy with reference to anarchism, or characterize movements that never seemed to identify themselves broadly speaking as anarchist, or say that it came from anarchists. I would buy that anarchists took part in Occupy, without a doubt. But Occupy, the Arab Spring, due to anarchists?
This is where my comment about the "anarchist" spirit comes in. I remember this Noam Chomsky quote going something like this--
(excuse the shamelessly quick wikiquote copying)
I don't really mind if this meant everyone were an anarchist, but what does anarchism mean? The spirit of rejecting illegitimate authority structures, and using non-hierarchical free associative relationships to progress toward an egalitarian society? The idea seems to suggest that on the surface most everyone is an anarchist or virtually no one is an anarchist. As for "where are the anarchists"...I don't see what impact they are having in the realm of policy, or where they manifest in movements. Is it the nature of anarchist movements to be so not prevalent in mainstream discourse that they seem undetectable, or is the movement just extremely small nowadays? Even environmental groups are cited as such.

Mr. Community
It's both hilarious and worrying at the same time that the conservative echo chamber conclusion to this debacle is "we need to go crazier".
Interesting times ahead heh.
