Statist Bingo

Play at home with your anarchist friends, but don’t get caught crossing out boxes. They might want to protect you from your gambling addiction.

The Illusion of the State

Since the state is not actually a thing that exists, it is a very accurate observation to define the state as an idea in someone’s (a statist’s) mind.

This idea that a group should be given the permission to aggress and steal rests on a very low, unconscious or subconscious level.

Army Suicides Exceed Combat Deaths

The consensus in the comments in this conservative news site seems to be that these guys are killing themselves because they hate the president. That doesn’t fit. I don’t imagine people kill themselves because they hate their boss several levels up the chain.

Santorum considers happiness overrated

This outrageous rhetoric is what you’d expect from a monk from the 14th century or over a loudspeaker while waiting hours for bread in Soviet Russia. Did God grant us the right to be happy? No. God does not exist. Rights don’t exist. Reality exists, and if it’s not obvious to you that a human being requires freedom to live as a human being, you are mentally ill.

There is nothing more significant to pursue but your own happiness. If you consider the pursuit of happiness to be overrated or somehow not a highest value, I can only conclude you wish to enslave me.

Rick Santorum slams ‘pursuit of happiness’ – Patrick Gavin – POLITICO.com

For those who might think Rick Santorum is a bit old-fashioned, they need look no further than his new book, “American Patriots.” The book goes back — way back — to recall the glory days of the Revolutionary War. “There are so many Revolutionary heroes and heroines from all walks of life,” writes Santorum, who seems…
