    Well that just sounds crazy on its own merits, but consider the implications of what you're saying in terms of your ideology. Do you really believe that tens of millions of poor, unemployed people who have just been deprived of their only means of subsistence will just lie down and die? That there won't be massive riots and social chaos? Remember that nothing breeds insurrection surer and faster than destitution. Even if it's only as a token gesture to keep the dirty proles in line, the relative cost/benefit analysis of welfare programs makes them desirable.

    This is a valid point but if the poor rose up I can't see them standing a chance against our armed forces. This isn't libya.

    And when the armed forces side with the poor? Then what?

    Really. Really. Just no. Think of the ramifications. That would be a modern day holocaust. Millions killed because they were poor and wanted their basic human rights. The US would collapse. The army isn't all mindless murderers you know. I think they wouldn't follow orders to butcher their own countrymen. Besides, what fucked up man/woman would order the death of millions? Its fucking loony.

    But if the poor rose up do you really think they would be their only supporters? Other politicians would simply recreate the welfare system.

    I can admit when I'm wrong. Even though I do view them as parasites the idea of them rising up is something I foolishly didn't consider.

    Of course he isn't. He is just another human being. Hate to be a such a bore, but he simply has views that are extremist to your own.

    Wow. Do you have proof of such claims. If so, then that is pretty badass.

    Way to turn the thread back the right way after a discussion based on killing around 10 million Americans. Seriously that's impressive.

    Real fucking skill if you ask me. Us talking about Obama and what he did and blah blah blah, and he turns it into how Rick Perry is actually sane.

    I'm for legalizing weed but strongly opposed to legalizing gay marriage. Imo marriage is between a man and a woman and that's that.

    Regardless it is a state's decision to legalize it.

    Rick Perry is for that and I am more happy than ever.
