    The issue of your vulgar and offensive language aside, your use of such childish straw man tactics is pretty pathetic, even for you.

    Should all be abolished.

    All are a legitimate function of government. However, there should be no federal involvement and no militarization of police.

    Should be privatized.

    Should be limited to state and local control.

    The FAA and TSA should be abolished.

    Should be privatized.

    Should be privatized.

    Travelling through Virginia this weekend, I noticed that several rest areas were sponsored by Geico.

    Why not just privatize them?

    A legitimate function of local government.

    Agreed.

    Should be privatized.

    Legitimate function of state and local government. But I would have no problem with privatizing them.

    Legitimate function of local governments.

    Should be privatized.

    Agreed.

    Should be privatized.

    It's not an illegitimate function of local government, but libraries work much better when they're privatized.

    Parks are a legitimate function of state and local government. However, like most things, they work much better when they're privatized.

    Abolish it.

    Should be privatized.

    Why?

    Why?

    Why?

    Why?

    Why?

    Good for you. I get better coverage privately than I do through the VA anyway.


    The Capitol isn't "socialist".

    Should be privatized.

    How are those things "socialist"?

    Honestly, I've been there a couple of times. I don't know why anybody would want to go there in the first place.

    Ditto. It's a hole in the ground.

    How are those things "socialist"?

    I'm conflicted about Arlington. While I believe our soldiers should be honored with national cemetery, I have serious moral problems with how the land for that cemetery was obtained (particularly since I'm a descendant of the family that owned that land).

    Agreed.

    Oh, so you're a Democrat?

    Agreed.

    My family and I have never believed we would have those things, anyway, so we took the initiative to be entrepreneurial about it and take our future into our own hands. I'm forty seven. I'm retiring next year. Couldn't have done that if I'd waited on the government.

    Arminians tell us we're not Christians all the time.

    The thread title has been allowed to stay up for more than twenty-four hours. Draw your own conclusions.

    To clarify, I didn't respond because I "fell for it". I responded because even though I'm just one person, each time I get to speak out on those issues, whether the thread is legitimate or not, it's one more time the truth gets out.

    It's pretty stupid in its assumptions, as is typical for LCTB. We're not against government. If we were, we'd be calling for the abolition of government, not the reform of government and we would keep calling for a return to the Constitution.

    But because LCTB is unable to argue issues, this is the best he's got.

    I was sure that you hadn't. No reasonable person would have.

    I appreciate your response to him.

    I changed the title but am not deleting the thread as too many folks have put too much effort into their replies. But I am closing it.
