Quote:And some of us reject either label. I am starting to trend populist, in the Perot and Andrew Jackson sense. That means a sorta Libertarian who holds the diverse and disunited Libertarian movement in mild contempt.
There is a role for government, and it's not going to be perfect. Get over it, Libertarians. It how much, and how, not whether or not.
Also, Ashock, Liberal in what sense? Conservative in what sense? Neo conservatives seem to spend a whole lot of other people's money, just like old school LBJ Liberals.
Their kids probably go to the same private schools. :whistling:

By "liberal" I do not mean a liberal from 40 years ago. I mean "liberal" from how leftists describe themselves today. You know, the Berkeley type when it comes to social issues and foreign policy. With my mentality (and not just mine, I know) I probably would have been described as liberal, 40-50 years ago. However, I'm talking about today, not yesterday. It is sad to see that we no longer have a good option to vote for. The Republican party is going way too right and the Democratic party, way too left. The way I look at it though, is that the Republican party is not a good option, but the Democratic party is not a viable option at all. Voting Libertarian is throwing your vote away completely. It's just a question of voting for the lesser of two evils.
