  My Uncle was living in Atlanta and got tickets for a concert to help fund the fox Theater, when my two older brothers and I went to visit he gave them to us, its where they recorded one more from the road and its the live version for Free Bird! I was young but have been a fan ever since, Ronnie never wore shoes on stage but towered over the band! I miss that guy, he was dead within 2 years I think.

Sorry, I 've read the humor for long enough! How about we help the man who killed raped, tortured etc. people etc. But, oh, wait a minute; let's kill the fetus (Latin word for little one... BTW) and not give a hoot. Then you have the folks who can't stand having pictures of aborted babies on the hub. My, my.......

Now, as for Beck, the only reason people are applauding him is because he has the gonads to speak his mind about obama. There are millions of us who feel that way. This is just the beginning of what the American people who are tired of what the government is trying to do. Don’t try the racist issue – such a moot point.

For some liberals, when they run out of venomous comments they resort to asinine ones. Thus making us all feel like we've returned to our elementary days in the playground.

Kool-aid - the comment was made due to the fact that some liberals will buy anything Obama says hook, line and sinker. I did not say they had drunk it, I said they were drinking it - interpretation for those so elementary in dire need of adult remedial education; some liberals are drinking the poison spewing from the White House. I would love to hear what the left would say if a right-winger made the comment about hoping all lefties would drink some. Infantile to say the least.

  They would say what Beck is saying, that the president is a fascist and wants to control every citizen and there could possibly be internment camps for political prisoners. They in fact did say those things along with Bush will declare Martial law and subvert the election process, but he didn't. So now when things like obama is a racist comes up the libs scream you have gone too far when you call a President a racist, but none of them defended Bush when the same thing happened to him!

  A a very right wing politician that acts like a dictator, such as Hitler or Mussolini, can only be called a Fascist. It is contradictory to call Obama a Facsist because often people in your camp complain of him socializing America, which is not was fascist do because they are far right wing. A true socialist would be bordering on being a Communist, but Obama is definitely not that! Obama is pretty moderate actually, and why he wants to placate the conservatives so much on health care is evident of that!

  I draw your attention to Ludwig von Mises. "He published one of his least-known masterworks: Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War. Drawing on his prewar experience in Vienna, watching the rise of the national socialists in Germany (the Nazis), who would eventually take over his own homeland, he set out to draw parallels between the Russian and German experience with socialism."
  
  "It was common in those days, as it is in ours, to identify the Communists as leftist and the Nazis as rightists, as if they stood on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But Mises knew differently. They both sported the same ideological pedigree of socialism. "The German and Russian systems of socialism have in common the fact that the government has full control of the means of production. It decides what shall be produced and how. It allots to each individual a share of consumer's goods for his consumption."
  
  This is a very common mistake SP. I'm not criticizing you, but you are not correct. So I ask you, is it more important to hold on to your liberal status than it is to know the truth?
  
  You don't have to take my word for it. But there is a lot more reading that goes much more in depth than you have read already.

  Yeah, I get "the usual" take on things, you extra, extra not-charming bunch 'o guys. I've seen Clinton speak 4 times. He made quite a few speeches at the University of Iowa, when we could get him cheap especially after his presidency. I also know about his legendary womanizing, the boxers/briefs, accent, use of his hands while speaking, and all that crap.
  
  But it was very, very studied. HE WAS over compensating for the fact he was, indeed, "a fat band boy," back in the day (his own quote). See his books (oh, yeah, Tex, given the way you write, I realize you don't like books and prefer talk radio).
  
  His style as a politician (as is Hillary's) is also still old school, slightly dirty-tricked, and although I admire him very much, and when you see him speak, he is engaging and extremely intelligent, and I believe he has deep seated convictions at the core, I would not call him charming (I don't think many women actually would, ).
  
  Barack Obama, on the other hand is of a different breed/generation. That's why, incidentally, he was ultimately elected. IMHO (of course as I will meet 'violent,' haha, opposition here), his character is high, he is very well spoken; carefully spoken when need be, and the only way his measured,'cool,' and subtle responses and political style could ever engender division is in the heated minds of the far right/Glen Beck style 'politcos.' (I don't have another adequate name for them I can use.) He has indeed charmed the world...if not a few of our own crazy countrymen...in a way that needs to be at this point in history. In the true sense of the word. You Baby Boomers and retirees can keep your boxers and briefs.

Economically Bush did not act like a dictator, for sure. He was the antithesis of wanting government control of the means of production.
But his actions in relation to our "War on Terror" and the Patriot Act and forbidding any/all criticism of his invasion of Iraq as "unpatriotic" (remember all those 'support our troops' stickers on cars?) would, in my view, be considered dictatorial.

It also seems to me that SP is right. Politicians on both ends of the political spectrum can be dictatorial in certain areas. The difference is in which areas they want government control!

A little Hungarian history, in 1954 Mátyás Rákosi attempted to impose authoritarian rule on Hungary. An estimated 2,000 people were executed and over 100,000 were imprisoned. Approximately 350,000 officials and intellectuals were purged from 1948 to 1956. Many people were secretly arrested and taken to inland or foreign concentration camps without any judicial sentence. Hungary experienced one of the harshest dictatorships in Europe.

During the Hungarian Uprising an estimated 20,000 people were killed, nearly all during the Soviet intervention. Nearly a quarter of a million people left the country during the brief time that the borders were open in 1956.

  They may be thinking of a strain of anarchism that mixed with communism late in the 19th century. True anarchism only concerns it self with no government, not the shape of society. That is left up for people to decide for themselves. The benefit to having no government is that force is no longer monopolized by authority. Since people can choose to employ force, a higher premium is placed on talking things out and finding mutually agreeable methods of solving problems between people.

  Now we are talking different events. A branch of Anarchists were responsible for czar bombing and several other similar episodes before the revolution, and for a long period of time were pretty close with Bolsheviks, that's what you reminded me about.
  
  Yet after the Revolution, or rather after the civil war Bolsheviks pretty fast got rid of all temporary allies, including anarchists.
  
  What you are talking about happened in between, during the civil war, and there were many various powers and governments all over the place, including the Anarchist "republic" of Nestor Mahno in Ukraine. Eventually Bolsheviks got him, too - despite of him helping them quite a bit against foreign powers - and i believe it was even before Stalin came to full power...

  Okay, you were talking about the Decembrist uprising. I was looking more at the post-revolution period. I have to admit that my knowledge of czarist Russia is somewhat lacking as compared to Russia under the Soviets. Yet come to think of it, I think it was Lenin who broke the power of the anarchists. I guess he really did want to share power. Heck, the Ukrainians even helped the Nazis, at least in the beginning, until they started getting sent to the camps. Stuff like that can make history pretty sorry reading. Although it can serve as a warning that sometimes the people you think are your friends are really your friends.
  
  I was actually thinking about the Chicago bombing the 19th century in the United States. That was done by an anarchist group who had more communistic leanings than Lysander Spooner, let's say.

  I'm not so sure I entirely agree with that. Reason being that if you consider towns and villages prior to the historical era, it does not seem as if there were large-scale empires or nations as we would recognize them. If anything, they would create confederations, much like the ones that were seen in North America with the Native Americans, and these confederations were able to build monolithic tombs, Stonehenge and other large-scale projects. So it does not seem that government is necessary for groups of people to get together and embark on cooperative ventures. What it does require is some sort of contract law and ways to enforce that contract, as well as property rights.
  
  Normally I would say that agriculture changed that, but Neolithic farmers do not seem to have had any sort of organization above the level of village which would band into confederations for these sorts of projects.

  The main difference between marxism and anarchy is that marxism is a totalitarianistic form of "government" while anarchy is the absence of any government. The control of production, while an aspect of marxist government control, is only the control of resources in anarchy. Anarchists don't tell anyone what to do or how to do it, they just defend their property.

  To be thrown in the same category as Ralph is indeed a compliment, Misha. Thank you.
  
  Ralph is a former Clinton appointee and a Harvard educated economist. Our resident statesman, a good writer, liberal, and the father of Paul Deeds, who works for Hubpages.

It's all verbiage taken from, I guess, Glenn Beck shows. And you actually all believe it--quite ripping those who write liberal political essays, too, it seems. Some friends have said they felt "stalked."
  
  The most exposure I've had to anything like that is actually nonpolitical types who say they are conservatives making shorthand conversation at dinner using Beck as reference. Not pages and pages of screaming like that.
