Title: Anarcho capitalism is alive and well in the U.S., and it's called Conservative

"Anarcho-capitalism is an individualist anarchist political philosophy that advocates the elimination of the state and the elevation of the sovereign individual in a free market. In an anarcho-capitalist society, law enforcement, courts, and all other security services would be provided by voluntarily-funded competitors such as *PRIVATE DEFENSE AGENCIES rather than through taxation, (hmm, what does that make me think of?) and money would be privately and competitively provided in an open market. According to anarcho-capitalists, personal and economic activities would be regulated by the natural laws of the market and through private law rather than through politics. Furthermore, victimless crimes and crimes against the state would be rendered moot. (Wikipedia) Conservative anarcho capitalists consider taxation to be on the same level as burglary, fraud and theft...but here's the rub. No taxes would mean no governmental infrastructure. So who would pave the roads, make sure drinking water was clean and poisonous toxins and diseases were kept out of the food supply, provide a military, fire departments and local police, build bridges, hospitals, schools? That's where Halliburton and *Blackwater come in. Pay as you go is the mantra of the conservatives. If someone's robbing your house -- you can't call 911 anymore. Gotta hire a private police force. The only reason the Conservatives hate Obama (and they would have hated Hillary Clinton as well) is because he is rebuilding the infrastructure that the previous administration spent 8 years tearing down. The Katrina tragedy happened, not because of the storm, but because FEMA was an agency in name only - no one was sitting at the desks. People died because the governmental infrastructure did not exist. You may disagree with me. Certainly that is your right. I could be totally wrong. Or not.

Title: Don't want to pay taxes?

Here's a suggestion for all the Conservatives, oh, I mean, anarcho capitalists out there. Move onto the Residensea, and travel the world without having to pay taxes to the United States.

Title:

I can see why "anonymous" ised that name when writing. He is an idiot. Although I am not a member of the Tea Party, their ranks include an estimated 43% of Independants and Democrats. They are voices the opinion of many other who remain silent but welcome a dissenting view from the bias media reporting. We are a country that is in trouble. Obama is not the one to get us out of our woes. His policies will not work as history has shown us. What makes them different now? Because Obama says o. Wake up America.

Title:

O'Malley is obama inside out. Montgomery always supports this idiot and they deserve what they got with him and all the other left wing rads that permeate that county. It's time to wake up people and get O'malley, obama and leggett out of office and replace them with others more attuned to the wishes of the electorate.

Title: The Tyranny Response Team rules!

Though most Tea Party activists, both nationwide and locally, are conservative Republicans, there are many libertarians, independents, and even some Democrats, who have joined their ranks as well. The anti-big-government, anti-socialist movement here in America stared in the early nineties and we were just as disappointed with the Bush/Cheney administration as we were with Clinton/Gore all these years.

Title: Richest county broke?

The richest county in the MD broke? And this nitwit Legget is running unopposed for another term? You're kidding, right? We're out of money, and his brilliant idea is to come up with an energy tax, or raise the current one by 67? Is this guy for real? Why hasn't he resigned? I know this place is run entirely by Democrats, but seriously, is this the best they can do? 1Billion in the hole, and still no real spending cuts, no changes to county pensions, no salary or hiring freezes. Could we get a fiscal conservative to run for office around here, please?!

Title:

You're kidding right? If you had said the government was out of control 5 years ago, I would have agreed 100%. Under the Bush Administration, we very nearly lost our democratic way of life under the despotic rule of Cheney/Bush, and I put Cheney's name first intentionally. They used crooked lawyers to attempt to rewrite the Constitution. I am not an Obama supporter by any means, but I do love this nation and believe that the Tea Partiers are just unknowing pawns for the third party "Conservatives" who are really libertarian capitalists, creating a distraction while the third party continues to systematically take over the GOP. If you're a Republican politician in the GOP these days, they're coming after your seat. They dislike Republicans as much as they do Democrats.

Title: health care bill,,,,,,,,,,,, free ????!!!!

I am from montreal , been here since 1962,in rockville maryland,just love usa. Some ppl think that obamacare will be free,, well they will be in shock if it goes full course. In quebec for example, they taxe your income at 52 percent ,, then you go to the store or go buy a car,, well the sales tax is 15 percent,that.s not all if you call a plumber ,, electrician, painter ,, etc ,, there is a service tax,, 15 percent,, getting your hairdone haircut ,15 percent,, and with all that taxation the roads are awful to ride by,, the health care is screwed up ( recently a friend of mine with pancreas cancer had to sleep on a cot in the hall way in a montreal hospital), if need a hip replace ,,you have to wait in line, if you need a rotator cuff repaired,, it might be 2 years before they get to you,, ,, and so on and so on, Some ppl are just credulous,,gullabil!!! I cant believe how naive some people are !!!

Title: Disgusted

If they truly want to improve our nation they'll answer Glen Beck, Rush, et al. who spew lies and incite hatred; all supported by my (ex) party. We pay less taxes then most developed countries's citizens, but it's an issue that always gets the rabble riled up.
