    and rulers he may idolize. He's a sycophant in search of his object. Right now it's Trump, but he's preparing for his fall.

    I'm very familiar with words.

    I like the government staying in it's rightful function. its doesn't have to be big for that.

    oh and the general welfare clause is not meant to make sure corporations always get their way.

    sometimes things are wrong even if there's a buyer and a seller. capitalism is not a moral framework.

    You want government big for when you want it big. You should just admit your big government predilections.

    Dumb post is dumb. And off topic.

    The post regarding 'The Sound of Freedom' has absolutely nothing to do with thread, not close to even tangentially. Warning regarding derailing-no more thread bans.

    is it big government when a war is used to procure resources for corporations, but the cost is put on people in general?

    you brought up government size preferences.

    Again, totally off topic. Start your own thread or find something else to do for 24. Last warning.

    It's so much easier to move on in place of doing more of the same. Choices though, we all have them.

    Once again proving Trump is out for nothing but political revenge. Speaking or horrible people -- the way he lashes out at anyone who disagrees with him or he perceives a threat? Unacceptable personal behavior, much less professional.

    There is no upside to this person.
