Libertarian, absolutely. :hi:
Good that, girl.
Libertarian, absolutely. :hi:
I side more with Democrats and vote from them. Lesser of two evils.
Present day Republicans, aka Neocons, are definitely more evil than present day Democrats with respect to my own values and sentiments. To each his own. I care not for unrealistic ideals or allegiances, only tangible results. I'm glad GOP/McCain/Palin is not running the country at the moment.Says you. Others say the Republicans are the lesser of two evils. I say they're both evil.

I accept the Democratic party. I use the "lesser of two evils" argument to get my point across using the skeptic's own language. I thought my post above clarified my position to support and vote for the Democrats for the past two elections (I'm fairly young). I do not like the culture of the modern Republican Party.
I am also not heavily into politics. I go on gut feelings, mostly. I'm sure many Republican supporters do as well. Don't confuse that for ignorance, though, as I do look things up when necessary to feel comfortable taking a position.

Libertarianism is ungood. A Communist monad is the only worthy model of society.
I have lived in such a monad.
The clothes you wear are communally washed. Your linen is communally washed.
Private washing machines are banned.
A maid arrives in your room every morning and picks after you. You do not need to pay anything for it, because private money is banned.
You eat in a central dining hall. Private kitchens are banned.
Your children are fed and clothed and provided for, by the monad.
Every minute you spend with your kids is quality time.
You watch TV in the central TV room. Private TV sets are banned.
Private motor cars are banned. It is prohibited to drive in the village.
What a good, decent life.
Libertarianism is not a rational way of life. It is individualistic, selfish, unconstructive.
A society is a cooperation. Be happy in your communal work.
Libertarianism is rational. Communities are nice, too. People are individuals and they are inherently selfish. I like to have my cake and eat it too, and so should you. I'm a quarter jewish. I don't see how you equate libertarians with an "unconstructive" lifestyle though.
The people I see who are most unconstructive are the ones who rely on government checks to survive. Food stamps for Cheetos. Libertarianism and Society don't contradict each other. You're crazy. Eat it. NOW.
yes, i know. don't rub it in my face. I was born two months shy of 1984. you know what that means, don't you? yes you do, take it.
Libertarianism is irrational because libertarians don't stop and reflect how chaotic the world was 200 years ago before social programs. Libertarianism is irrational because libertarians don't stop to think that the quality of their own selfish lives will be complicated (in a bad way) with lots more poor, starving, hungry, homeless people running around.
A truly rational person understands that sometimes thinking of others is actually the most beneficially selfish thing to do, after all.
