Actually, I've been considering it for a couple of months now. If more of us start leaning this way, they won't be wasted votes. Who's this year's libertarian candidate? Perhaps you should write Steve Forbes in on your ballots. Quote

Did you ever see that bit on the Daily Show (I think) about Forbes and how he's an alien...he never blinks his eyes. They showed some loooong clip of him speaking, a headshot, without sound, and I swear the dude blinked twice in two or three minutes. Spooky.... Quote
chelle Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Hadn't noticed the lack of blinking. When he ran in 96 I thought some of the stuff he said made sense. That was before I got reaquainted with my liberal leftist roots. Quote

assmonkey Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Assmonkey is Left-Liberal. Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality, and in general are on average 52% more intelligent than all people of other political persuasions, and fully 98% more intelligent than people who voted for W.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 SWEET! DFA's a damn Left-lib'ral! Divert all military spending to social justice immediately! Quote

Hey dumb fuck unamazing - If this country is ever attacked and we NRA stiffs are given no choice but to defend the homeland with our own weapons, I'll give ya about a 50/50 chance of getting fragged by an American.

Off_White Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Well Trask, that's why Liberals make better leaders and the Libertarians and Conservatives make good career military personnel. Quote

Silly rabbit, you were on a pretty good roll there for awhile. Stalin is a classic example of an Authoritarian. How would you justify him as in favor of individual liberty? Don't revert to being a knee-jerk neo-con, you're much more interesting as a thinking Libertarian. Quote
scott_harpell Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 actually you are missing my point. in theory he is a liberal, but in practice an authoritarian. it kinda shows how true liberalism would fall on its ass if it weren't for the checks and balances of other parties. i think liberalism is needed, but only as a checks and balances for the other real forms of government.

scott_harpell Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 make sure you have an ending that says .gif or .jpg or something... right click and open picture (or whatever) Quote
Off_White Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I don't think Stalin valued individual liberty even in theory, but I'd agree that we need the whole political melange to achieve something useful. Quote

Theoretically, socialism was for the people; to rid them of the evils of the uber-rich. but in practice it was bastardized. it has been everytime it has been tried. i dont see why it would be any different here than there. so again. why be proud of this affiliation? Quote
scott_harpell Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 is the pride due to the false assumption that liberals are moer intelligent than others? Quote
AlpineK Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Stalin was an opportunist who joined the communist party; also he knew a thing or two about using political power, knocking heads, and dirty tricks. Quote
