It won't necessarily lead to dictatorship, but certainly to corruption. Propaganda exists
to convince people that Clinton really does have their welfare at heart. She's actually in the pockets of insurance companies, whcih isn't hard to find out.

Of course, another slimy propaganda tactic (one basically evident in this thread) is the term "America haters" (and what have you). Many would have me believe that this country has such a proud history and that to criticize it is some great sin. But that's nonsense, fit only for totalitarian minds. True libertarians would never go for it. Nationalism is almost totally incompatible with basic libertarian principles.
It's slightly off-topic, I know. But some "libertarian" posters practically compel me to make these corrections.
First, grandpa, I think he was talking about liberals and not libertarians.

I agree on your stance on America haters, however, the current health care system in America needs to be changed. From your point of view it should be a step in the right direction. You try "shock therapy" and just switch to your ideals in one night, and you end up the same as post cold war Russia. A body of people not ready for the change.


Don't forget this is all in good fun!
