With love , Skipper.

Instead of focusing on the decentralization aspect of the Green Party’s Ten Key Values, we Greens allow the corporate media and parties to define us as “big government” types. I’m not saying there are no such Greens, but they are not the only voices to be heard in the GP.

Kudos to Mr. Jocoy. Unfortunately, it certainly seems that the loudest voices are of a Marxist bent, and not of the traditional decentralist variety. I think the lack of a strong national Socialist (and I don’t mean National Socialist) party funnels centralists into the Greens, and has eroded too much of the good things that Mr. Jocoy and others like him stand for.

It’s pronounced like coke, not like cock. So, perhaps kochheads.

Or you can call them stawberries.

NWA “Dopeman” lyrics:

There’s a another girl in tha dopeman’s life
Not quite a bitch but far from a wife
she’s called strawberry and everybody know
strawberry strawberry iz tha neighborhood ho
do any thing for a hit or2,
give tha bitch a rock
and she will fuck your whole damn crew
it might be yo wife and it might make u sick
come home and see her mouth on
tha dopeman’s dick
strawberry just look around you’ll see her
But don’t fuck around she’ll give you gonnorhea
if people out there ain’t hip to the fact
strawberry iz a girl selling pussy 4 crack

Perhaps for ratcheting up the drug war and the military industrial congressional complex, or the “moral” bolshevik agenda (Meese commission, etc). Maybe for raising FICA taxes? The S&L bailout? Proposing budgets even higher than Tip O’Neill’s some years? Joking about nuking Russia in five minutes? Announcing his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi (see Mississippi Burning) while talking about states rights? Honoring SS soldiers at Bitburg? Maybe Iran-Contra-Cocaine? Why, there is so much Reagan legacy to be proud of, I hardly know where to start.

Exactly the problem. The problem with monopoly government is institutional, not particular.

I think the original Greens were more decentralist, and there are still some around, but they are themselves decentrally organized and thus vulnerable to takeover-in-effect by dedicated enviro-Marxist cadres. Decentralist, power game hating libertarians are similarly under attack by Machiavellian New Rightists.

Here is where true greens and true libertarians are one and the same:

Reagan was a totalitarian.

This is, in my mind, one of the biggest areas where we Greens need to learn and grow. Sunset provisions are a GOOD thing. I have met very damn few Greens who want their local schools run from Washington. Most of us would prefer to see even our local school board play a smaller role, with students, teachers and parents running things.

I joined the Committee Against Registration and the Draft when I was 17 in 1979. Ronald Reagan promised to end Selective Service. He lied. He also promised to end the departments of energy and education. I don’t think these promises had ever been sincere.

Opps, I meant Kochsuckers.

Still want to be in a “coalition” with the Kochsuckers, Trent?”

LOL @ Kocksuckers!

Kinda. Socialists think deregulation and low taxes caused the crisis. Deran has the right culprit but is charging him with the wrong crime.

Reagan’s finest moment, of course, was the Savings & Loan scandal. “I think we just hit the jackpot,” Reagan chuckled gleefully when signing the legislation that deregulated the S&L industry — legislation, incidentally, that not only enriched a couple of the Bush brothers, but eventually cost the U.S. taxpayers more than $160 billion.

Funny how self-described “conservatives” gloss over things like that.
