You do realize you can believe a particular group of people are ignorant without thinking an entire ideology is right ?
It's my impression that there are far more conservatives and libertarians in this forum than there were in the early years - I'm just curious about how many more.
Registered Independent but Libertarian here - former Republican.
As for the stance of this board, the mix has changed from the early days to now as has the dialogue. More often than not, I wouldn't say it's changed for the better. This board has become so partisan, so full of rhetoric, bs, and simple minded name calling that I go long periods without visiting just to keep my sanity.
You could post a thread about gas stoves vs electrics and it will devolve into name calling party crap in 5 posts or less. It's sad really.
I'm not going to lie, I have a very bad opinion of the tea party to the point when I see common sense American equated to the tea party my instant, knee jerk reaction is to laugh. Some of the party may be exactly that but unfortunately for you, the appearance of your party is much like giving a national microphone to someone in the south after a disaster. You can almost guarantee the stupidest among us (southerners) will get the mic. In the case of the tea party, the craziest among the party have left their mark and a strong, negative impression that will be hard to shake.

The board has really taken a dive in the last couple of years and the posters that had intellectual content do not post as much or no longer are part of the forum.
I'm center-left overall. After flirting with Ron Paulism for a few years, I'm back to where I originally was. If I had to call myself a Democrat, then I identify with the Rust BeltDemocrats (I lived most of my life in the Rust Belt, coincidentally), not the hippy West Coast faction. Ergo, economic issues are much more important to me than social
You just identified the reason, it is called the rust belt and not steel city.
The Tea Party is not libertarian. They are yokels who discovered the joys of limited government the day a black man with an Arabic name became the prominent executive officer of the government.
These opportunists and dregs of the hillbilly enclaves of American society ought to be denounced and opposed at every turn.
Wow! Another highly educated intellectual thoughtful unbiased observer heard from ...
That's sarcasm, in case you dont know. You are a mind numb brainwashed hater.
