WTF, you give a choice between two great evils?

False Dichotomy "Now, when left-liberals talk about these figures, they like to compare them with what the state might have done with these resources in terms of funding health care, public schools, Head Start centers, or food stamps. This is a mistake because it demonstrates that the Left isn't really providing an alternative to the Right. It merely has a different set of priorities in how it would use the resources raised by the inflation machine. It's true that public schools are less costly in terms of lives and property than war itself. But the inflation-funded welfare state also has a corrosive effect on society. The pipe dream that the inflation monster can be used to promote good instead of evil illustrates a certain naïveté about the nature of the state itself. If the state has the power and is asked to choose between doing good and waging war, what will it choose? Certainly in the American context, the choice has always been for war." ~ Llewellyn H.

wow if this was an actual choice people here would actually choose killing people over having our corporate healthcare taken over by a socialist one? i guess since it is poor brown people being killed way over there that issue isn't as important as our liberty over here. im surprised to see that ron paul people really are a bunch of white libertines, so apparently they think that "my freedom is more important than a poor brown man's life" what is wrong with you people?

You can't make a deal with the Devil and expect him to honor the contract. The state is force, taxation is theft; strike the root!

Gisbern: that is known as the fallacy of the middle ground. I choose ending both.
