Again, you hit me with this accusation that I’m “wrapped up” in some kind of left-right dogma, when I didn’t even use those words in the comment I posted. If you really did respect my views as you’ve said, you wouldn’t keep trying to pigeonhole me into some box that seems to exist only in your own mind about me.
If I choose to support the stated VALUES that have always been espoused by many on the left, that has nothing to do with whether so many in power have sold themselves out on those issues. I make no secret that I believe in the same values put forth by those who believe in a government that has a place for a safety net and regulating human greed that goes against the common good. Anyone posting on this forum for unemployment benefits would be a hypocrite not to have those beliefs.

You disappoint me with that post…
You made you position clear many times here that you though the Democrats could be our saviors. I would never hold that against you because there was a time when I did that myself…
@(sigh) I know damn well that we agree on 99% of the basic principles here; why quibble over labels on this board?
That is my whole point!
I am trying to make more people understand that the left vs right game is just a way to control them. look at that “bi-partisan” bill that the main stream media somehow missed that the whole future of the internet lies on…
I’m sorry if you disagree with my Libertarian beliefs, but the opposite end of the scale is Hitler, one of the most Authoritarian leaders in history.
Do you think our government should be able to censor the web?…or murder American citizens at will based on some “secret” interpretation of the patriot act the public is not allowed to read?

This is not about “left” vs “right”, it is about the majority of us that have been like a frog in a pot of slowly heating water waking up and jumping out.
I think Sam said it better than I can now,
“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds”

There was a discussion on one site as to where the most millionaires live. The original poster used it against CA at #9.
CT is #3 and FL is #2 :)
Do you feel richer now ;)

I would be interested to know where you think Chris Hedges stands politically. Or Naomi Klein, or Michael Moore, or Noam Chomsky, or George Orwell, or Thomas Paine…

YES they are!

For Heaven’s sake, you’re mistaken there. Just because some Ron Paul supporters discovered they have something in common with Michael Moore doesn’t mean Michael Moore has joined the Libertarian Party!!!
I was a philosophy major before going into the arts, until I realized that the history of philosophy is simply riddled with terms that people cling to in order to try to distinguish themselves intellectually from others, even though the basis for that distinction is quite often based simply on some inner ego drive to grab more of whatever it is they are after. And so some terms end up with especially muddled and deliberately obfuscated definitions.
The term Libertarian is riddled with the same confusion. Pick your own “brand” of Libertarianism; you might as well just say “human” and attach a few more adjectives:

Oh jeeze girl…
The American libertarian party is conservative libertarian….
Libertarian simply means anti Authoritarian in reality.
We dont have a left, or even central Libertarian party in this country.
Maybe if we did things would be different…
No wonder so much of the word thinks we are crazy when most all our politicians fall into the right authoritarian segment of world politics….

I think I may have asked this long ago, but I would honestly like to know where you come out on this test.

I have a feeling we would not be all that far apart…
You’re right!
(I took that test a long time ago. I don’t remember the exact score or label, but I don’t need to. And usually those tests have far too many questions that I have to answer with “it depends.”)
