    There are always at least 3 ways to go about an objective. 1: The easy way. 2: The hard way. 3: The middle of the road way. Goal: less government interference. 1: DOWN WIT GUB'MENT!!!! 2: Slowly but surely erode at the power of government until the system collapses. 3: Work within the system to build a situation where the government can naturally and efficiently reduce the system to hit the goal. 1: won't work, no matter how often you scream. 2: Seems pretty cool, until you realise nothing works anymore. 3: Is probably the only way it will work without it being a horrible situation. He is advocating #3. Maybe you should too? Government is NEEDED. Without the ability of an entity who's sole purpose is to defend individuals, entities will behave horribly to take advantage of those people. It's all through history. People bitch about the government sucking and being horrible and most never pay attention to the fact that it is EVERYWHERE and it runs smoothly in most cases. Someone posted a day in the life of an average person and how each action was influenced by a government entity looking out for us. It was pretty amazing and no one ever pays attention to it.

      At your behest, I watched The Obama Deception and the Bohemia Grove sagas. I sat through them, taking notes, and then researching the books, news items and video clips quoted within. It became plain that Uncle Al deliberately misinterprets what he has seen or read in order to spread disinformation. Why? Evidently, it sells.

      Rather than subject myself to the above 'documentaries' again, I searched for "alex jones" exposed. Apparently, he is a Jesuit/Zionist. :) (There are weird people out there - you are not alone.) So, I tried "alex jones" debunked. Bingo[^]! Their opinions are not mine - but they quote from similar sources. Other than the documentaries, there was the Hardin debacle, the scanner scam, and all the 'genocide' misrepresentations you have been called on.

            Glenn Beck is being characterized by the establishment as the leader of the freedom movement and yet a closer analysis of his ideology reveals that Beck is nothing more than a fake revolutionary who has supported and is pushing policies that are diametrically opposed to those embraced by true constitutionalists. Beck and Fox News have hijacked the patriot movement and are leading conservatives and libertarians down a meaningless partisan rabbit hole in a clear attempt to neutralize genuine opposition to the big government agenda of the Obama administration. http://www.infowars.com/glenn-beck-for-dummies/[^]

                -5 pts for a strawman. Attempting to equate cited examples that have been proven truthful with a fantasy in an attempt to discredit the examples. Next time just insult his mom, it has more integrity. We all know you don't have a leg to stand on.

                    Thats called big government deficit spending. New roads wont fix the problem of reckless government spending, it wont stop corruption.

                        DING! Here's the herring of the day. I never said anything about centralizing power, my goal is reducing the number of people/systems doing the same damn thing and costing time, resources, and occasionally lives while they try to get their acts together. Imagine if the intelligence agencies had a single repository which linked related intelligence together? How much do you want to bet we'd have managed to stop the significant terrorist attacks of the last few decades? It wasn't for a lack of information, but because it was so separate. Of course, linking it would be it's own problem, but it's certainly possible.

                        Nope, it won't fix those problems, but if we had the ability to create a nationwide high speed network for government(or even public) use and could use that to reduce costs by using standardized systems for information handling we could cut down on later costs. And if we open it up to the public we could make a couple bucks off the system in usage fees. If we had standard voting systems with encryption that would stump the military and redundant backups at the local, county, state and federal levels which key off someone's validated social security information(though separate from the vote itself, it does indicate that the person has voted). We could nip a great deal of potential voting fraud in the bud AND reduce costs of voting machines by being able to replace them with a bit of standard equipment. But hey, you've obviously thought this through and found no merit I'm sure. Edit: And I'm still quite annoyed that this isn't the goal of technocrats, it seems so much more sensible to me than assuming engineers should run everything. Screw that, let's build everything so well and easy to use that even an elected official can't screw it up. Ok, another pipe dream.

                          That is your ignorant and insignificant opinion. How about some hard evidence? You see, the article I posted as direct hard evidence of Glenn Beck's flip-flopping neocon spew.

                              What part of it exactly? Creating a better system which could require less intervention, less resources, maintain effectiveness while reducing overhead? The right hand knowing what the left was doing, without three weeks of communication between five departments and thirty seven appointees? The basic structure is good, the theory is sound enough, but we could implement it far better by further integrating the system itself, and using technology to do so.

                                What part of it exactly? Creating a better system which could require less intervention, less resources, maintain effectiveness while reducing overhead? The right hand knowing what the left was doing, without three weeks of communication between five departments and thirty seven appointees? The basic structure is good, the theory is sound enough, but we could implement it far better by further integrating the system itself, and using technology to do so.

                                The part where you want to centralize power, increase government spending, and have special government highways and roads for government officials, where the people have to pay for it once, and then be charged again for using the roads.

                                  Bucko, the monetary unit of this country is effectively based on the people's belief that the country will maintain itself and continue to pay it's bills. What better measure is there than improving the quality of government, showing that people SHOULD have faith in it, that it CAN manage it's obligations, and that it WILL be able to keep up with the times to form a stepping stone towards paying off the nation's debt. I'll also note, my choices here are far from just intended as cost reducing measures, but rather to improve the *warning buzzword ahead* agility of the government when attempting to respond to something. Anything from detecting fraud and responding to crime, to sharing intelligence and disaster relief. I don't aim to make everything cheaper, I'm aiming to make everything it does better. Once you can actually do your job right the first time, you can start fixing the things you never should have done in the first place.

                                    Glenn Beck is being characterized by the establishment as the leader of the freedom movement and yet a closer analysis of his ideology reveals that Beck is nothing more than a fake revolutionary who has supported and is pushing policies that are diametrically opposed to those embraced by true constitutionalists. Beck and Fox News have hijacked the patriot movement and are leading conservatives and libertarians down a meaningless partisan rabbit hole in a clear attempt to neutralize genuine opposition to the big government agenda of the Obama administration. http://www.infowars.com/glenn-beck-for-dummies/[^]

                                    Odd you should think because most of the stuff ive read seems to be characterising Glen Beck as a cunt

                                      You know, I had a post all ready to go about how spending money on infrastructure is never wasteful, but I had to go. CSS won't get it, he cahnges what you say to make it sound like you want something you don't and attacks that instead of dealing with what you said. The moment you beat him anyway, he resorts to insulting you. Seriously, I think Ian was on to something when it came to programming his behavior as if it was a bot.

                                          He does vary it up though. Sometimes he insults your mom, sometimes he finds some word that might set you off and calls it. Sometimes he just states the opposite and thinks that because arguing with him is like arguing with God that will be enough.
