That's seems to be the overriding philosophy that they are applying these days.

(2,049 posts)brothers and sisters. But you insult a long and respectable tradition by suggesting Republicans are 'Anarchists.' I don't have time to review the intellectual pedigree of the latter right now, but I think a quick search on Wiki should give you ample reading material to reconsider your use of the term.
I prefer to call Republicans 'fascists' (in the 1920s-30s sense of the term).

(6,960 posts)Real 'anarchists' of the Noam Chomsky variety would take that as an insult.
House Repuglicans don't have the philosophical depth of genuine anarchists.
That crowd is simply comprised of anti-Obama bigots and corporate whores -- being anarchists would actually be a philosophical/political improvement for House Repuglicans.

(1,957 posts)Whatever law is fact, whatever rules are passed they want to take them apart. They have no ideas of what to do to move this country forward except take apart whatever rules and laws and on the books. They condemn what comes out of the Whitehouse but I never hear one original idea coming from their mouths. They despise Obamacare but outside of tearing it down to it's roots I never hear them give one idea of what to do instead. Their brains haven't progressed beyond that point. It reminds me of kids at the beach who are busy making sand castles and one bully comes along kicking in all those works of art. Not one idea does he make--just criticize the ideas of others.
