    Quiet. Conservatives might be lurking in the obviously liberal-BG.

    I'm not conservative or liberal. I'm a progressive. I'm not entirely sure what's left of American society to conserve. Both sides have just about shit on human decency enough.

    I hope I'm not being wooshed, but I'm pretty confident that that isn't to be taken seriously.

    That picture would only be taken seriously by libertarians.
    And while it does reflect their ideals, most wouldn't believe the over-the-top end result part of it.

    Totally agree, for too long our nation has been corrupted by these evil socialist organizations.

    Seriously though, the more I learn, the more I am amazed every day by the ignorance and misinformation surrounding the word "socialism." Its like the new four letter word in politics. Nice little chart lol.

    What's a layman's definition of a Libertarian? I thought that they were way out there liberals but apparently they're so liberal they're conservative? Or so conservative they're liberal? My husband tried to explain it to me once but I find American politics to be a confusing quagmire.

    Libertarians hold more to a "do whatever you want as long as it doesn't negatively effect another." Basically, it's having maximum individual liberty. Unfortunately there are numerous people that call themselves Libertarian, but are not. This muddies the message, and has made the tag have a broad range. The name comes from Liberty, not Liberal which causes people to think Libertarians are liberal. Check lp.org for more information.

    Basically, it's anti-big government, pro-free market system, low taxes, and decriminalizing drugs*. There are more issues than that, obviously, but it's primarily about taking responsibility for yourself.

    * - Some Libertarians are legalize everything for population control. Some are only legalize pot which is primarily in regard to not having prison populations out of control/draining taxpayer money.

    Minarchist / Local Government. Pretty much the smallest Government possible without being in Anarchy. Liberty and all that.

    Edit: Check the PDF Link in my Signature. Communists have the Communist Manifesto. Anarchists and Libertarians got this.

    Basically in a utopian Libertarian society there are lots and lots of self supporting local communities that determine their own laws and rules. So where in the South it would be ok to lynch colored people, witches, and homosexuals in these local communities it is better than a big federal government because they had the freedom and liberty to do that!

    If you think this is being exaggerated take a look at these totally uninhibited, local, non-federally regulated tribes in Africa and South America that burn witches, conduct food raids and scalping raids, abduct children and women and use rape as a weapon.

    Archaic tribes in my Amurrica? It's more likely than you think.

    Thankfully with a large federal gumment we pass laws like this:

    Hate Crimes Bill Approved By Congress, Extends Protection To Gays


    and protect people's civil rights on a national basis regardless of ignorant and dated 'local' views on topics.

    OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE WE JUST TOOK SOMEONES LIBERTY N FREEDOMS TO KILL FAGGOTS BECAUSE OF REPRESSED HOMOSEXUAL EMOTIONS JEEZ I HATE AMERICA I CAN'T DO ANYTHING HERE ANY MORE I'M MOVING TO SUDAN FKYA

    Except no. Personal Liberty overrides some Klansman dislike of Nigs. Local government means deciding where your tax money goes and not having Washington decide whats best for your community.

    And your a tool if you think the law stops people from being biggots / racists.
