I'm tired of all the politics happening. I don't mind politics, I discuss it regularly. But most of the people who try to be political don't know what the hell they're talking about. I'm tired hearing "Bu$H suxx0rs!!11". It's so easy to rip on Bush, isn't it? And most of the time people odn't even know why! They're just following the herd!

And most people don't even know basic things about political science! I told someone the other day I was a libertarian, what popped out of his mouth was this "Is that some kind of codename for commie?!!" Communist?! There's nothing furthur from communism than libertarianism! And God knows he doesn't know what communism is, he's probably never heard of, let along read Marx, or Trotsky, or Mao (all three of which are incredibly different)

Please, to everyone who may read this, don't discuss libertarianism unless you have a basic idea about it, same for communism and socialism, and for God's sake, don't refer to your political leanings by your party! "Are you a democrat or a republican?" "A republicn in the Jefferson sense? In the Taft sense? In the Reagan sense?" It's not too hard to remember liberal and conservative, is it?

And if someone isn't a fascist, and you're calling them far right, and someone isn't a communist, and you're calling them far left, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM IS AT ALL!

Man, won't people just pick up a book for once instead of repeating what they're told?!

True, Libertarians are far from Communists...and closest to Anarchists. I can see the appeal of free-for-all living, with as little government as is functionally necessary, but that just leads to chaos. History has taught us that when a central government has very little power, feudal systems develop, or in worse cases, warlords, and everything gets fucked up. You and Bill Maher don't see what Dennis Miller calls "the big picture", because Dennis Miller's philosophies are also wrong. I can give you at least a hundred reasons to rip on Bush, so I will continue to do so.

There are hundreds of reasons, but you should at least have a good point for doing so.

And I'm not too libertarian. Actually, I'm against the privatization of things such as schools.

And Bill Mahar is hardly a libertarian.

Well, he claims to be a Libertarian, just like yourself. What makes him not one?

I'd have to look more into his positions, but he does not sound to be one.

And saying you are something doesn't make it so.

First, you sounded right.
And then you started talking about liberals being for the privitization of schools.
Damn!
You dont know jack shit half as much as either me or you think you do!

I said libertarian! There's a big difference!

... You've spent the past week implying that I'm a communist, and now you want people to stop labeling you?

???
I've never called you communist and I think thats a good thing

Liberatarian does NOT mean being FOR private school. Most liberals i know have gone to/going/having kids at public schools.

Hey, there's a huge difference between being a liberal (like myself) and a libertarian. Look up the definitions, and then come back to this topic.
