When was the last time the anarchy gang called for regulators to go easier on companies that put lead in children's toys? Or for inspectors to stop checking whether the meat in our grocery stores is crawling with deadly bacteria? Or for the FDA to ignore whether morning sickness drugs will cause horrible deformities in our babies?
When? Never. In fact, whenever the anarchists make any headway in their quest and cause damage to our government, the opposite happens.
...
Why do they do this? Because the boogeyman government in the alternate universe of their fiery political speeches isn't real. It doesn't exist.
Government is real, and it has three basic functions:
1. Provide for the national defense.
2. Put rules in place rules, like traffic lights and bank regulations, that are fair and transparent.
3. Build the things together that none of us can build alone – roads, schools, power grids – the things that give everyone a chance to succeed.
...
We are alive, we are healthier, we are stronger because of government.

It would be nice if they stuck with those three and kept things simple but they are forever interfering and trying to control everything, and that goes for both liberals and conservatives.

Those Tea Party guys are libertarian, not anarchists.
That woman doesn't understand or is purposely dishonest.

CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT
(And yeah bill is a politician. He pushes agendas.)

Tea partiers don't want an end to government. They want an end to elected accountable government. Totally different things.

And definitely not anarchist, since anarchists don't want a government at all.

Indeed, but so do the opponents of tea partiers. You'll find absolutely no moral values or loyalty to country on either side.

Anarchism is a good political philosophy for forming base theories.
However, since its ideas rarely work in the real world, you have to make compromises with reality.
When you make those compromises, you end up at some form of Minarchism or Libertarianism.
