I'm new here - which way does this board lean? (nationalist, dictators)

As scheduled by Bush.

Might as well add Conservatives to that definition.

A non-Conservative.

okay, but that doesn't explain the difference in the terms, if there is any.

And "socialists" are so close to liberals/progressives, that it's hard to tell them apart sometimes.

And "conservatives" and "libertarians" are also so close that it's hard to tell them apart.

Socialists and Liberals are not the same thing. Please ****.

What on earth are you suggesting here? That socialists are conservatives?

Socialists and Liberals are exactly the same thing ... if you don't want to be labeled a socialist, too bad. Change your views ... not the nature of reality.

I do listen to more pragmatic types such as Tyler Cowen and Arnold Kling(both economist at GMU).

Libertarians understand the importance of spending wisely. Politicians use our money to pay back lobbyists and special interests in return for their pre-election support. Once in office they scratch their backs rather than doing the business of the people. We know: the war on drugs is a farse; that all the wars since WWII are money for lives exchanges to protect corporate interests in the name of defense; that the FDA is in the pocket of BIG Pharma (Phizer and Merck) and BIG Agra (Monsanto); that Obamacare will drive healthcare costs up and is designed to bankrupt all private insurers.

We see the hypocrisy of both parties which are working for their own common goals, rather than the nations best interests.

We have two choices this election:

Obama who will drive us off the cliff on a rail.
Romney who may slow the trainwreck down a bit.

Most Libertarians would rather have 4-8 years, in our attempt to change the system, than lose everything in 2-4.

Also: I'd lean toward any CATO Institute economist over say...DEMOS or Center for American Pro(re)gress

That would be fascist ala Hitler. Are you saying that you are a white supremist?


I have to question something though. If whites start any kind of pro-caucasion group they are white supremists and racists. If any other group does, they are activists and community-minded. Why is that exactly? Consider the fact that 2/3rds of all the poor in America are white. Seems to me they need a hand up as badly and the (soon to not be) minorities.

Interesting really...

Careful with the s-word, a couple you-know-whos are on a deleting binge when we bring up their extracurricular activities.
