$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ian807', 'F')ormerly uninterested. Despise republicrats and demicans. Loathe radical left and right. Dubious about many aspects of libertarianism. Greens have their own wackiness too.

Vehemently anti-stupidity. Totally reality oriented and pragmatic. Uninterested in the "morality" as currently promulgated by the current political "dialogue." I'm interested in solving problems, not how the masses feel about anything.

I don't think there *is* a party for people like me.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AlexdeLarge', 'I') support a novel idea.

A return to the constitution as it is written and amended. A literal intrepretation that every man with greater than an 8th grade education understands, not the BS these f#cking lawyers try to make it out to be, where they twist words and meanings and say it is a "living" document to be interpreted by a select few. The Constitution is a document where rights are carved in stone and changes made only by consent of the people.

Yeah......I'm a dreamer..............................................

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrestonSturges', 'W')hy so sad little buckeroo, that all you can manage is an "Lol?"


meh, its just casually funny now that you can't manage to carry on a conversation; you're so blinded by hate that you can't see that the flaws you attribute only to your opponents, are honestly flaws shared by all notable participants in our political system.

How is my platform racist. My platform is the one that is good for this country, and the only that will allow this country to survive. If you don't support my platform than you hate this country.

You mean politically active as exemplified by many of the fine folks in this thread who start throwing mud at about post 7?

Naw.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

Why do you want on line gambling illegal? Yet you want pot use legalized. Both are private behaviors and should be allowed.

Being locally active, is being politically active. Better doing the tiniest thing locally than keeping the mouth wide open which big ideas what should be done. Participating in a local group or even helping a neighbour out is much more activism than just talking. If you are an active guy in your neighbourhood then the others might listen to you a bit more carefully.

Gambling is a sickness that feeds on the hopes of the poor. It funnels money to the already rich. It also funnels money out of this country into the hands of criminals and foreign governments.
