So how come everyone who attended a public school didn't build a billion dollar business,professor?
The internet was developed by the military. National defense is a legitimate constitutionally mandated function of the federal government.
What are you gonna do in 2017 when Obama is gone but the Tea Party is still around? Wait I know...Hillary in the WH... They hate women,that's it.

I gave you about 10 explicit examples of how you're complete hypocrites.  
   
 Here's another huge one:  You all cry 24/7/365 how "Obama is taking away our freedom" yet have NO PROBLEM saying, "Corporations are people, my friend, and they can buy our elections in complete secret.....even if it's people from other countries doing it."  
   
 That is taking away our FREEDOM more than anything else.  
   
 We get to "pick" from whoever HUGE MONEY lets us "pick" from.  
   
   
 Most of those med schools would not be there without tax dollars, Cletus.  
   
 Steve Jobs would have done what, exactly, without the internet?  
   
 And stop whizzing your pants when you're called racists because Tea Baggers have done nothing but make racial "jokes" from the second Obama made the scene.  
   
 All that Birther crap is nothing but racism.  They call his wife a "gorilla" every day.  All the "jokes" about Obama and watermelon and fried chicken.  Did you miss all those frats boys singing about "Hanging all the n*&^%^ers from the trees.....that they learned at the national convention?  
   
 At Palin's campaign rallies, people walked around interviewing her groupies and it was n-word this and n-word that when talking about Obama.

which one is preferable--to grow the power and influence of government or protect the rights and economic liberty of the individual?
 Which is better---government dependence or self dependence?
Notice whenever Obama speaks it's always in the collective,words like we,us together,community,the group. He disparages what the individual achieves on his own. Remember his despicable speech where he said if you're successful you didn't do it by yourself,if you have a business you didn't build that? What a jerk.
Leftists like him hate and fear what the individual can do because they prefer them to dependent on government.
Last question---do you realize the more the government grows the more the freedom of the individual shrinks?

The controlling corporate oligarchy and their banks entirely own and control both parties. The contrasting political ethos's have been manipulated and orchestrated to keep John Q Citizen suspicious and hateful of his very neighbor. With Conservatives its done through authoritarianism, prohibition, intolerance and nostalgia. With Liberals it done through regulation, subjugation, political correctness and 'the greater good'. Either way the "citizen" is being herded/brainwashed into lifelong fiscal slavery far removed from "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

Do all righties, like you, think in simplistic black or white terms. Yes, I'm an individual. However, when I became married, my wife and I became a we. We started balancing between what was the good or desire of one or the other of us, and what was the best for both of us. Because there were time when one or the other laid their needs aside, for the moment, we were able to do and attain more than what we could have as individuals. At least that is how I experienced it. When we had children, we were no longer a married couple, but a family. Then the balancing, I previously mentioned became even more complicated. As my membership into larger circles of society increases, my I-ness gets a bit deluted in all the we-ness. A good example was when I got drafted into the armed services. There was a lot of I-ness in the effort I put into my service, but I was draft because I was a part of "We the people." All societies struggle with the tension of I-ness and we-ness. Having a bunch of I's doing just as they please leads to chaos, and having too strong of we-ness can lead to oppressive governments, and possible disasters caused by rampant nationalism run amok. There's some place between black and white, and we as a society are trying to strike the right balance. Too much I-ness is just narcissism, which were are very susceptible to, which is why so many on the right do not truly have an accurate view on what American Exceptionalism means, let alone where the concept came from.  ;)

That's the debate---getting the balance right between the person and the state. Take a horizontal line.On the right tip you have anarchy. Keep moving left you'd have libertarians,then Tea Party conservatives,establishment Republicans,moderates in the center,liberals,socialists,and all the way at other end there is totalitarianism---a behemoth,all powerful centralized state.
  I'm on the right side of the line because I believe the state exists to serve the individual,not the other way around.When the left wants to demonize something they put Big in front of it--Big Business,Big Tobacco,etc. I worry about Big government. And I don't want government subsidizing business or corporate welfare That's a perversion of capitalism.
