Any system of government that is not closely monitored by the governed eventually becomes more totalitarian. More power concentrated in fewer hands. While TEA Partiers, have the right idea in limiting government, that is only half of the solution. An informed, engaged electorate is vital. We are in our current mess because of the lack of one. Civics has been replaced by multi-cultural studies. A student may have no idea how the government works, but he can tell you all about digging Taro roots in the South Pacific. or underwater basket weaving in Rwanda, or a folk dance in Estonia. A republic cannot survive a stupid, apathetic voting constituency. An appalling number of people are absolutely clueless, cannot even name their Congressman, or one of their Senators. They are too busy watching "America's Got Talent." I'm glad America's got talent, because we appear to be running low on intelligence.

Prostitution existed in socialism and communistic societies as well it isn’t a form of capitalism if that is what you’re trying to say. It is a profession not an economic theory like consumerism, commercialism or corporatism. It was a profession before there was such a thing called capitalism. Before there is was capitalism, socialism and communism you had barbarism. I’ve done my research.

You have different schools of capitalism like you have the different schools of Socialism and Communism. As I said before “isms” are monuments to mankind’s stupidity. Capitalism was a term coined by Karl Marx to label the laize-faire or the free market. How convenient many stigmas would follow the modern etymologies encompassing the economic practice of capitalism seeing as how the term itself was made by a man who sought to destroy it. Convenient isn’t it? In point and fact Vladimir Lenin embellished Marxism by selling the idea that capitalism was another form of prostitution. So either you’re making that point or you have become a disciple of Lenin.

Money is a medium of exchange but money has been made into a vice of mankind. Capitalism didn’t make it this way it is human nature.

I didn’t have too much time to delve deeply into the Keystone and Bakken pipeline since I froze my ass off in Maryland all week inside a truck. I’m not keen on spending my time off researching just to prove the lefties here as a bunch of tool that they are. I would like to watch my Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones dvds sometime…

Anyway where was I?

This post makes no sense, especially this statement from you:

"and the one thing all of you have overlooked is keeping China away from our backdoor. I prefer the Canadians getting this piece of the pie than the godsdamned Chinese and I think the Koch brothers aren’t in the business of aiding our rivals overseas unlike our incompetent president and his administration."

You're kidding right? Do you have any idea who owns the tar sands?

That would be, in your words, "the godsdamned Chinese." That's who owns the tar sands genius. They're the largest owners along with Canada and Korea.

But don't take my word for it. Learn about it from the source.

Congratulations Ghost. You've become a shill for the Chinese. Your position and logic will help create a secure source of energy for "the godsdamned Chinese".

And then this was your comment:

I ain’t a shill to nobody. Your position and logic are flawed and out of the ass of the left-wing fear mongering propaganda. Unlike some of you left-wing shills who only cite garbage from left-wing rags here are some discussions on Keystone minus much of the “watch the other hand with this Koch brother hysteria” BS involved.

Stop wasting our time with your “eat the rich” dribble. Oh yes let’s focus on the Koch brothers but let’s overlook all the subsidies and sweet deals the governments are getting into. Typical progressive “watch the other hand” gesture so you’re not paying attention to the corruption happening elsewhere.

In the wake of a recent disaster regarding a train derailment from the Bakkens this whole thing about appeasing to the environmental aspects has only led to more environmental disasters than your intentions to safeguard it. Typical just many other pet projects and ponzy schemes your kind likes to sucker the people into because you prey on their fears and make up a bunch of lies and overblown misconceptions. You’re a tool of the fringe left. NEXT!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

So let me ask you something Ghost, how come you didn't know the tar sands were owned by the Chinese? Why didn't you accept that and debate it? Why did you try and change the subject? And what's the deal with the white trash talk? It makes you sound like an idiot.

Facts are facts. Chinese tar sands. Canadian pipeline. Refined oil destined for overseas markets. US takes all the risk to create a secure energy supply for someone else.

As an American capitalist, conservative republican and proud member of one of this countries founding oil families, I find your anti-American attitude disgusting. You're right Ghost. You aren't a shill. You a clueless butt boy for the People's Republic.

Enjoy your dvd's.
