Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Derek, there are plenty of “winger quotes” on both sides. The right doesn’t own it and the left doesn’t own it. The idea in this cartoon that Uga has a political leaning is just dumb.
I like the idea of the political spectrum as a circle … the extreme left and the extreme right are very similar in their leanings and their rhetoric. They are against the rest of us who just want to live our lives, let others live their lives and be left alone.

So Luckovich believes that a dog has political leanings? Huh? I’d suggest that anyone who thinks that of Luckovich probably needs immediate professional assistance.
I think he was just trying to be funny and that he wasn’t suggesting that UGA follows politics.
Yes there are all sorts of wacko birds on the left too. The sad thing about the GOP letting this ass hat get the nomination is that they are handing the left political power. Lack of credibility from the right first led to the new deal and then to the great society. If you really want to keep the left at bay, you’d better be tending to your own house. I’m a pragmatist first and foremost. I don’t believe in ideology and both extremes are scary as shit as they’ve both proven throughout history.
In short, the GOP should throw this guy off the island for the sake of the country. Country is more important than party.

Ok – a political cartoonist’s cartoons aren’t supposed to be looked at through a political lens (only as humor)? That’s as ridiculous as thinking Uga has a political leaning. Then allow me to revise my statement … Uga (representing the UGA community including the fan base) should pi$$ on Vince Dooley for his endorsement of Trump. The only other times Luckovich has used Uga in his cartoons have been to mark certain days in the Bulldog Nation — the firing of Mark Richt, the death of Larry Munson, and the deaths of the various Ugas to name a few. To use the image of Uga in this context is pure politics and nothing more or less.
The problem with throwing the guy off the island is that the process is over on both sides. With 300,000,000 people, the best we could find is a businessman blowhard and a lying, corrupt lifetime political hack to be the major party candidates for the CEO of the government of the most powerful country in the free world? That’s a pretty sad statement for the environment in our country.

First political like book I ever read was ‘Libertarianism — A primer” by Harry Browne (RIP) back in college in the late 90’s. I’ve been a Libertarian ever since and only rarely vote for a member of either of the two established parties.
One of my favorite quotes from that book went something like: “Republicans want to be your daddy — telling you what to do, how to do it, what you’re doing wrong, etc. Democrats want to be your mommy — feeding you, clothing you, and basically cradle you from birth to death. Libertarians, meanwhile, simply want to treat you as an adult.”

The problem with libertarianism is its naïveté. The world doesn’t work the way libertarians suppose that it does. For example I think it’s fine to suggest that in a meritocracy, and without the mingling of the government, that prosperity and failure will find those who deserve it. However, it ignores two basic problems. 1) the people who win the race initially pay to rig the system in the favor of heir useless children and grandchildren in the future. It’s unavoidable and there’s no way prevent it. Libertarians depends upon that not being true, but it’s an immutable fact of elected governments. It will serve money and money will serve itself. Can’t get around it. Much like Castro expected Cubans to work the sugar cane fields for free because patriotism, you can’t rid yourself of people who want to (and can) tilt the playing field for themselves. 2) if you want to look at what the natural order of things are without a strong central government, there’s a very profound historical example. Look at Europe after the fall of Rome. You know, the Dark Ages. Lords and Knights and peasants. That’s how society naturally orders itself without representative government. It took some 500 years to go from the Magna Carta to the bill of rights. Do we really need to redo this again?
In short libertarianism has the same flaws as communism. It doesn’t reflect who we are. It assumes we are something that we are not. We may eventually evolve out of it, but most of our fellow citizens are fascists and we should just thank God that one half of them can’t agree with the other half. Once your organizing prinicple relies upon the charity and good will of my fellow citizens, I’m sorry, you’ve lost me. I’d rather organize are government the way the founders did: assume everyone is a total bastard. At least it’s a more accurate assessment.

How could libertarians dramatically shrink the government and return power to the individual (or at least make it a bit more local), without reducing the amount of pork available to be handed out to ones progeny or cronies?
You say you don’t trust your neighbors to be charitable or ethical, but the bigger the govt the greater the influence they have on you. If people are self-interested, why give them your money and power to divert to their own causes? I actually do trust my neighbors to be sensible and ethical, but only when they’re spending their own money or feel personally responsible for a decision. I don’t think the “principal-agent” problem in Washington can be overstated – it’s the whole problem, perhaps.
As to your second point about societies without a strong central government – I think most libertarians would agree the central government has certain duties only it can perform. But I disagree with the idea that we must choose between anarchy and Castro.
LikeLike
The choice isn’t anarchy or Castro. The dark ages weren’t necessarily anarchy, but just closer to the state of nature than we are today. Someone was in charge, just not anybody who was elected by you. Your chance of freedom or independence was nil. Upward mobility was non-existent.
Those in charge were because they could and would kill you. Then they decided that they were in charge because of God or “watery tarts tossing sabers” and they still killed, but maybe not as often.
I hear what you say about others taking from you and then deciding what to do with it. The problem I see is two fold. First, the concept that you have or earn anything is really dependent upon the health and security of society you live in as a whole. In other words, if society collapses, your bank account is meaningless. It is in your interest to have, and to pay for, a stable, productive society.
Personally, I’ve never understood why its better that you keep all your money so that you don’t have to educate people so that you can then worry about them taking from you by force and then paying more to incarcerate them. Poverty and hopelessness has its costs and they are substantial. More costly than school lunches and books. It is supposed to be an investment. Whether those investments pay for themselves, as any investment should, is certainly something to be analyzed.
Second, your money is taken and redistributed only as we as a society decide. We voted for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIPS, etc… The people get to decide where to invest the nations wealth. You can agree or you can disagree. If you lose the argument, you lose the argument. That’s democracy.

How true. But the divisive strategy of the leftists is working. Their hate filled, racist agenda and strong attempts to limit free speech is deliberately played by the media to distort conversation away from the critical issues.
Unfortunately the two party system, which served us well for many decades, has now changed to force voters into two hopelessly divided camps with little chance of compromise. Would love a splintered electorate and candidates where negotiated positions would keep the extremists on the periphery. Voters would then have to know the actual positions of their representatives and not just vote for the distant party leaders’ positions which represent only a few. I don’t think we, collectively, could have become so stupid, so fast.

“In the end, I believe the goals of the Brownback administration are going exactly to plan – starve the state of resources to the point where it just makes sense to turn over critical government functions to for-profit entities. I can’t, in good conscience, continue to give our tax money to a government that actively works against the needs of its citizens; a state that is systematically targeting the citizens in most need, denying them critical care and reducing their cost of life as if they’re simply a tax burden that should be ignored. It’s because of these moves that I have decided to deny Kansas revenue from Pathfinder’s taxes by moving our company to Missouri.” CEO Jeff Blackwood
“This guy says it flat out–Brownback has engineered the failure of government in Kansas to prove to himself and to the world that government inevitably fails. It’s not often that you see it made that plain, and now it’s time to point out that enough voters in Kansas showed up and re-elected this cluck in what only can be seen now as a suicide pact.” Charles Pierce
