Statism is a Cult

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “I Fucking Hate Government,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Statists be all, 'Sit your black ass in the back!,' 'Stand your black ass up!'"

There’s Almost No Difference Between Democrats and Republicans:

Name a single significant part of the federal government that Bush cut when he went into office. You can’t. Now name a single significant piece of Bush’s government that Obama “changed”. You can’t do that either. Both Presidents were all talk and are in relatively complete agreement about what 95% of the government does. The fact is there isn’t much difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Just look at that Venn diagram above that lays out many of the most important issues of today. There’s almost no difference between Democrats and Republicans there. The only things separating them are a few token issues. The deep state of unelected bureaucrats continues on unhindered no matter which party occupies the White House or controls the Congress. The only thing that changes within Federal departments are the increases of their budgets. Republicans and Democrats defend that status quo.

My Commentary: They both want to rule over the innocent and peaceful, making them completely illegitimate aggressors.

A Rule Meant to Reduce Neurosurgeon’s Fatigue Went Terribly Wrong:
http://www.learnliberty.org/blog/good-intentions-bad-policy-neurosurgeon-regulation/

Richard Menger, a neurosurgery resident at Louisiana State University’s Health Sciences Center, tells a surprising tale in an article for the Foundation for Economic Education: how a rule meant to reduce doctors’ fatigue made neurosurgery less safe.

The rule was made with good intentions. Tired doctors are more likely to make mistakes, so by limiting the hours medical residents are permitted to work in a given week, there should be fewer tired doctors making fewer mistakes.

The good intentions didn’t lead to good results, however…
