(15,438 posts)who have an unhealthy distrust and dislike of government and are no different and no better than their Teabagger brethren. The sad part is, unlike the willfully ignorant Teabaggers, Libertarians and Liberaltarians - who are generally more intelligent - don't even see that commonality between them.
As a Democrat, I believe in government. I believe government has a vital role to play in protection of and working in the best interest of those who don't have the resources to keep millionaires and billionaires from trampling all over us, our rights, and that of our children.
There is only ONE entity powerful enough to take them all on - the U.S. Government. Therefore, as a wage-earner, I believe in Government - something Teabaggers, Liberaltarians, and Libertarians are incapable of understanding, let alone, are willing to accept. They think they can do it all on their own; that they can go up against powerful corporations with their legion of high-paid corporate attorneys - and win. They don't understand that the only thing standing in-between us and perpetual slavery under neocolonialism that's spreading through this country at alarming rate, is the Government "of, by, and for the People", and that we need to have a government devoid of pro-Corporate Republicans who make no bones about to whom they've pledged their loyalty.
