I voted LibertarianLand. Conservatism and Liberalism as they are being defined and practiced by extremes by both parties are so wacky that I don't think I would be happy in either. I am already living in LiberalLand and I'm not thrilled about going down with the sinking ship.

As for those exalting LiberalLand in real life. Do you really want to pay 50 percent tax right off of your paycheck on top of exorbantly high VATs? I have a friend from Sweden originally, well educated with two college degrees but couldn't find a job. She came here along with her sister when they were in their 20s. Both started out working in menial jobs but loved it here and eventually became part of the successful middle class (and US citizens).

Go libertarians. America is libertarian, not liberal, not right wing.

The only way to prosper.

Liberals are nothing but a sack of lazy bums that will avert the word 'work'. They will jump, and stump, and scream for any 'solution' as long as it doesn't involve them getting off their butts or them paying. They are all good so long as someone else pays. Liberalism is a cancer, i would not put conservatives or libertarians near them.

Two years later and it seems that based on the poll most Americans desire to live in a nation of libertarian principles.

Perhaps there is hope for the Ron Paul supporters after all.

It would be interesting to see how the C-D community would split up if given the option to move to their "perfect political situation".
Ill live right on the border of libertarian and conservative, probably no churches to go to in libertarian land.

I like a balance of differnet aspects where you can infuence certain things with a vote. In other words I like the USA the way it is now, and has always been.

Why not?

Libertarians would never ban churches.

They aren't communists or radical Muslims.

I wouldn't want to live in the extreme of either conservatives or liberals.

The urban blight created by the policies and principles of the fringe lunatic left and the ultra conservative mid west is evidence enough.
