In the first stop on President Obama's week-long midwestern bus tour, the president appeared to attempt to take ownership of the term "Obamacare" - a phrase Republicans have been lobbing at him as a pejorative since the 2008 passage of his controversial health care bill - telling audience members, "I have no problem with people saying Obama cares."
"I do care," he pointed out. "If the other side wants to be the folks who don't care? That's fine with me."

Communism isn't a bad idea for any time, it's just in putting it into practice where it gets screwed up.

In age of dictators where communism is hijacked as "system of control aka 1984." We get . 'father Stalin'.thedoc wrote:Hjarloprillar wrote:Communism

Communism in and of itself is but an idea of a system.
As is Democracy. [or plutocracy]
Even new age crystal consciousnesses can be shaped to a dictatorship of raw power.
Human rationalization is deep and onerous [wonderous].
My beef is that the 'practical application' Stalinist communism was brilliant and horrific.
Even Catholicism comes second to it in 'control/horror factor'

Re: ~~~ Worst Philosophy in the History of Mankind ~~~
First of all, if you're going to write a piece online, I wouldn't use so much space, as it does not seem to look anywhere serious or mature. Second, you are defining only the American definition of what conservatism means. Being a Conservative, outside of America, means to just uphold traditional values. The "conservatism" you're describing is not really actual conservatism; it is simply corporatism, and/or "neo-conservatism", in which that also is not actual conservatism. Third, I don't think you need to over-sensationalize (let alone sensationalize, at all) your thesis. Try at least be more clear and concise.

Worst Philosophy in the History of Mankind
Me personally, I’ve always looked at philosophy as being one of the most important positive aspects of my adult life, possibly THE most important aspect of my adult life.
Well, now is the time I must admit the anti-thesis of this tremendously positive feeling I have developed towards all things philosophical.
Today I must admit, and attempt to verbalize The worst Philosophy in the History of Mankind.
Today I must confront philosophy as being the worst overall influence put upon me from outside.
This blackest of all black philosophy that I'm referring to affects ALL people on earth. And for 99%, of us, yes for a full 6 Billion people, this philosophy is now crushing us. Crushing our bodies and stealing our souls.
Each day, the world turns, only to discover she is entering a new gate of hell. An ever more darker and deeper gate of hell on earth.
And you will sell your soul... And you will sell your soul. Just to be here.
Because we have lost all our belief. We have sold our belief. We have bought a ticket to hell.
Philosophy. Oh philosophy, the god of wisdom, is now the darkest enemy man has ever faced. And there is no apparent way out. No end in sight. Not now.
What is this philosophy that I speak of?
What is by far the worst scourge of all scourges in the history of mankind?
It is the philosophy of conservatism.
I do not know where it started and I cannot foresee an end but I will share the point at which the world visibly took note.
It was back in August of 1981 in America. Ronald Reagan, the 40 President of the United States did Beelzebub's bidding as he destroyed the Air Traffic Controllers Union ability to bargain effectively.
In short, he put profit before people. He said it was for national interest and national security. Thirty years later, the world witnesses that on that day, August 1, 1981 the United States of America sacrificed both. The United States of America betrayed her own people, and the world's corporate headquarters took note.
The air traffic controllers’ strike was a major union movement in America. It proved the importance of worker’s rights and liberties. The strike proved that unions could make a difference in a society based on capitalism.
As they say, the rest is history.
The philosophy of profit was put before people.
The philosophy that government is the problem was openly accepted by the leader of the world's largest government and, at the time, the most successful society the world has ever known.
Upside-down. On our heads. Nothing anymore made sense.
And for the next thirty years the daily headlines of all major newspapers reflected that theme at an ever increasingly bold pace.
And then it eventually became all the media outlets of all media, and the paid announcers, writers, and performers...
This hell. This all encompassing hell on earth.
The economic and emotional race to the bottom that all countries, all peoples must participate in.
The race to hell.
Fast track forward to today. We are the dying fruit of this horrible disease. We are the end.
Philosophy, this philosophy of the night undoes all the apparent good that any school or mode of philosophy has ever accomplished.
You and I are now witnessing, you and I are a part of this dark night of the soul.
And when they look back and say, why didn't someone do something? Why didn't someone stop this?
Because we couldn’t. We, the dust in the wind. We couldn’t.
As you finish reading this post are you able to accept the fact that philosophy, namely the philosophical lie that is conservatism, has ruined your life?
I will state that here on this site philosophy is THE most important aspect of our adult life.
The only thing I would add is that philosophy has become the most overall negative aspect in our lives.

It's not unionism trickling down, it's the lies.
