Dudes using the computer and internet to speak about government intrusion, government allocating of funds for public works, etc..

The irony.

Odyssey is always advocating Christian ethics and culture, but I guess he hasn't got around to reading Christian doctrine yet:

"All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need."

"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions were his own, but they shared everything they had."

"There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from their sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need."

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Poor Yeshua, he didn't have a chance to read Rand it seems.

Is there a bigger self-ether than advocating Anarcho-Capitalism and Christianity at the same damn time?

The cognitive dissonance on display borders on entertaining.

Yea, but if you were to pick yourself up from the bootstraps like our lord and savior Je$u$ ©hri$t did you can own it all.

More ether for the delusional capitalism supporters. Don't make the mistake calling them Capitalists as we already have. Cats like Odyssey, TWISM, DEAd7 and the rest aren't capitalists, they are being exploited along with everyone else. They don't own shyt.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

You may not realize it, but you could be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. Do you plan to someday in the future have more money? Are you concerned that your taxes are too high, because someday you might pay too much tax? Do you ride the bus only because this year you can’t afford that luxury car you’re going to have? Do you live pay check to pay check like most people just because you haven’t had your lucky break?
