"I am opposed to anarchy. Apparently, you are not." The passage of Obamacare was a prime example of anarchy....

I am opposed to anarchy. Anarchy is the collapse of tyranny. And since tyranny always brings about its own collapse, you are, indirectly, favoring anarchy by supporting this tyrannical regime. If tyrants aren't stopped lawfully, they always bring anarchy with their downfall.

Put this in your file under "lost another one". BTW, it was blatant ANARCHY in Wisconsin by you whacked-out libs, and you approved every minute of it, you pathetic hypocrite. Federal Court Upholds Wisconsin Limits on Collective Bargaining By Government Workers In a ruling issued today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit handed Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker a victory in his efforts to change state law governing labor relations with government employees. According to the AFL-CIO, Wisconsin’s Act 10, which had largely prohibited collective bargaining by public-sector workers, violated the rights of the state's municipal employees. But the 7th Circuit disagreed, ruling today: The unions...assert that "[t]he ability of municipal employees to engage in the activity of bargaining collectively with their employers, in the hope of reaching a voluntary agreement regarding their wages and other conditions of employment, is a fundamental right." The unions further aver that both the Supreme Court and our court have long recognized that the Constitution protects this right.... None of those cases [cited by the unions] establish what the unions assert here: that they have a constitutional entitlement to collectively bargain with the state. And we find that the unions' contention that this is a long-standing fundamental right difficult to square with the fact that several states have prohibited public-sector collective bargaining over at least some topics. The 7th Circuit's ruling in Laborers Local 236, AFL-CIO v. Walker is available here.

revolt against high taxes isn't anarchy at all. Unless of course you believe the tax revolt that began the American Revolution was "anarchy". Of course you often don't understand the meaning of the words you employ.
