Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Perhaps the most surprising is the role that special interests play in advancing the socialist movement. The traditional argument is that socialism is anti-special-interest — that it will eliminate cronyism and stamp out corruption. The opposite is true.

Entrenched interests, especially the well-connected and the unscrupulous, stand to gain the most in a socialist system. This stems from the simple fact that the rapid growth and centralization of governmental power gives them unprecedented opportunities to rig the system in their own favor. Far from eliminating cronyism, socialism makes it more prevalent.

At the same time, the vast expansion of governmental authority is always accompanied by a corresponding decline in liberty.
