Say what you will, but we now have a Libertarian as Speaker of the House.
Maybe I just have lower standards for politicians - but I'm kinda pleased about this.
Will it make any difference - I don't know - probably not. Seems its all bad news lately.
But I'll take what I can get.
We now have a person with strong free-market views 3rd in line for the Presidency!
Ha!

In adding up the tote Republican = Rino= Democrat = Dion = Socialist Party. Still the lapdogs of the left no matter the thespian skills.
Talking or acting is not the same as doing. That' a pure left wing trait.
In those rare moments when "the body opens and the soul looks out"
there is a raw beauty to the truth of that moment and a dignity that cannot be overlooked.
Each of us expresses our position at any given moment, along with our need and our desire.
There are different approaches to finding that congruent center within ourselves and, more often than not, can be misunderstood and misinterpreted... The importance is to stay the path.
Here is a +1 for jlc/Jan and MichaelA.
Thanks for the great post Zero!
Define Not Devine ....and do not accept the definitions of the opposition. Words have meanings and their meaning is totalitarian control and subjection of reason and freedom.
They just said so openly. Socialist Not democratic.
Leftist supporter? Of course you just chose and stated so in your reasoning to support the left. What other conclusion could there be?
I didn't make that decision you did.
Does the left have to be an evil institution. No it does not.
Some still have one foot in the center which is the Constitution for the rest of us. Those are people who believe in a bit more federalism than does the center. Which I think is what you are struggling to define as your position. But current definitions don't allow that do I changed them to suit reality. On the other side opposite government over people is citizens over government. They too must keep one foot in the sacred ground of the Constitution.
Both must use the Amendment system for substantive change including changing the amendment system.
Neither side can ignore or institute as dictatorship either by a President or a Judge nor by the whim of one State. Same Sex got in by those routes, Does that mean because Oregon voted for accepting ballots from the graveyard or recreational drug use the rest MUST follow. No it does not.
But if it means voting for a left wing progressive extremist of the now admittedly socialist camp I submit you have moved beyond the pale. Beyond the common bond and accepted evil. By my definition. I get to make that observation.
Which means more drift to the left. Drift? How about stampede.
Extreme Left complete government control
Left = government control over people
Its center puts the source of power somewhere between fascism and mind control.
Center and right by true definition is recognizing the source of power is not divine but defined as
Citizens over government.
One side recognizes Citizens the other recognizes persons in the same manner as serfs, slaves, peons and peasants.Not humans, some things to pee on.
Lest I forget the extreme right becomes Anarchy the complete absence of government and perhaps rejection of society.
Referring to my other submission.
By those standards almost every Republican and all Democrats are left wing and their center is not the sacred ground of the nation. It's too fascist too socialist and too progressive to have anything to do with center Its too extreme. It is too evil as it seeks to subjugate human independence, reason, thought and freedoms and is in no way democratic.
So we get to your choices? Of all the candidates of the left only one ended up being acceptable. A choice. None so far have come from the Republican/RINO wing of the left. So
I'm speaking of Jim Webb. Others may join him and those of us in or near the center by repudiating their connection as a group or as individuals. It remains to be seen. I support a complete split between RINO republicans and Centirst Republicans.
Enough......Read the other post on Define not Divine which alludes to Divine Right of Kings but means 'the source of power.'
think about it see if it answers any questions or can be improved but it's still your choice.
Perhaps you will find a way to smack me into some reality. I hope so.
I'm conducting a counter revolution against evil. Therefore I reject it completely. There is no need and compelling reasons to stand against it. But not with leftist PC definitions.
.
That is why libertarians do no consider themselves as being on the left right political spectrum.

The world is not going to match your vision of it. The only possibility of positive change lies in incremental improvements within the bounds of reality.
And - hey - Did I ask you to fight for me? I did my 4 in the USAF...A lot of people who were alive in the US at that time represented philosophies I did not personally care for. This did not determine what I did or what I believed.
Jan
Besides, if everyone knew what scumbags they all are the game would be over. They don't know because they are brainwashed, distracted, and somewhat naive. Oh, and insane, too.
Your post sounds treacherously close to a personal attack.
But I'm sure I'm reading it wrong. What reason would you have to be so rude?
I mean JLC is one of the good "guys" around here. Totally undeserving of such disrespect.

Toss back a couple of stiff ones, smoke a doob or cross your legs in that painful way and say "Uuhhhmmmmm" for 20 minutes.
What ever it takes.
Please note that Rand was not a conservative and wrote against the takeover of the Republican party by the conservatives.
As for Ryan, he tried to believe Rand's objective philosophy but let his belief in god get in the way. He then would no longer have anything to do with the that atheist philosophy.
