It's a boogieman term.

'Anarchists have taken over' in Congress

it might be an improvement.

Agreed.

My perception of "anarchist" was the leftist, no property rights, "the enemy of being is having" so lets blow stuff up variety, a la turn of the century Europe. I didn't know of the anarcho-cap variety until I learned more about libertarianism.

If my old perception is similar to most America, then it is a scare tactic.

[lee n. field]

I'm more familiar with the libertarian an-cap type.

The euroleft claptrap socialist type anarchists just seem like nuts to me.

All I can say is we keep trying to kick him out, but voter fraud is strong in that one.

Is it possible for an anarchist to take over Congress?  Perhaps a self-claimed anarchist but not a true anarchist.  Congress and anarchy don't go together.

Reid really hates that Constitutionalists have infected Congress.  He thought they were shed of that silly document.

Yeah, a true anarchist would never seek government office.

Correct. He (or she) would just blow up government offices.

Reid's definition of "anarchists" is "People who don't vote the way I tell them to vote."

[AZRedhawk44]

Correct. He (or she) would just blow up ignore government offices.

Fixed.

The number of an-cap "used to be libertarian" anarchists far dwarfs the number of Seattle G20 arsonist anarchists. 

[gunsmith]

I'm an anarchist, if I was smarter though I would probably be libertarian.
Blow things up??
To dangerous, I'll watch from a safe distance and say oooh-wow though.
I like having fingers and hands to much to be making bombs.

edited to add: but you know what? I vote for Tea Party candidates when I can, as a Nevadan though I can assure you that the only way to get rid of Reid is a huge turnout and 100% vote for the other guy.

He lost the last election, but he stole it real well. The RNC/DNC are all old boy network here. Voters don't have much say.

[lee n. field]

Correct. He (or she) would just blow up government offices.

Or ignore them.

Did you hear about the anarchist who tried to blow up a school bus?









He burnt his lips on the tail pipe.
