I'm willing to vote for self reliance, how about the rest of you?........
You have to be self reliant, nobody likes you!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that these philosophical discussions about the size and scope of government were taking place online since at least the time I joined the politics.com forum back in 2002. That would be before anyone here had even heard of Mr. Obama, but, again, I could be mistaken in all of this speculation...
You have to be self reliant, nobody likes you!
If these discussions can be classed as philosophy I've been wrong about Plato, Descartes an Wittgenstein all these years!
Philosophy 101
Plato: 'You suck.'
Descartes: 'Then shove it up your arse.'
Wittgenstein: 'Your mother is a stinkin whore.'
Plato: 'Say that again, you bloody kraut, and I'll punch your lights out.'
Descartes: 'OK. That's it. You are on ignore!'
What would your answer be if you were asked how big your government should be? Or how much tax you should pay, or whether you wanted the defence of your country or hospitals or schools?
I would love to see those right wing lunatics who have lost the plot, have to repair the roads outside their own houses, to put out the fire in their neighbours house, to watch a murderer walk free because there was no money to run the courts. It would be good news for the terrorists who could just walk in unhindered , kill and then walk out again.....
Oh, wait a minute, you don't actually mean the government is too big, do you? Because you have no idea just how big it is. But by the hell, you want to get rid of that 'boy' in the whitehouse, dont you? He doesn't get any whiter with the weather does he, and by golly if ever he is successful with your economy you'll never see his black ass disappear!!
So no national government but unlimited local government, huh. That's OK then. Who will pay, then, when you find there are two firemen where there should be one? You?
Anyway I guess it would be OK just so long as they didn't tax caravans or ban guns.
What is the English for Yeee-hahhh?
A conservative is a person who will look at a person suffering from a seizure and say, since the brain is simply composed of individual neurons pursuing their own self-interest, it would be evil and immoral to take any action to stop the seizure. The American economy is in a seizure, and because conservatives hate their country, they seek to destroy America.
"painful era of self-reliance in America."
That is absolutely a poor choice of words. Seriously... That was stupid. Remember when just saying that he wanted to redistribute some wealth was a huge thing in the last election?
So all the parasites are upset. Too damn bad.
That's not what he said.
The millionaires and the temporarily embarrassed millionaires are the parasites. The 99% produces all, the 1% receives all. We need to pick the tick of the upper class off of the body of American society.
The 53% pays for it all, the 47% gets a lot... I think somebody has gotten excited about the wrong percentages and convinced by idiots on how to apply the math.

The ticks are those sucking up all the freebies- not those paying for it all. Your envy is showing once again. If you don't like wealth- don't create any.
Oh man, Dennis Richie, what a slouch. You only created the most prolific programming language on the face of the Earth and revolutionized operating system design. What has that done? We would've been much better had another banker been born in your place, creating so much more wealth, making the economy run so much better, as would've been shown by his much greater salary. It is the bankers who create wealth in this society, after all.
A conservative would seek the root cause of the seizure and attempt to find a cure, a liberal would give them other people's money so they could stay at home and have more seizures.
See? I can make stupid inaccurate statements stereotyping liberals, just like you can make stupid inaccurate statements stereotyping "conservatives"...
