Well, I think for a start, womenz, The Constitution, freedom, Photoshop, zombie movies and Mall Ninjas are all cool with him, just from my observation[:D].

My guess (and it's only a guess) would be
FREEDOM, the uncut, pure funk known as freedom. You know, the kind you can only (at present) find in the darkest alleys on the lonely backstreets of this once free land. "Psst. Hey buddy, I got something for ya, you looking for something?" "What you got there?" "FREEDOM. You want some?" "How much?" Yep. I bet he likes FREEDOM, and LIBERTY. Course, that's only a guess.

OK, if'fn y'all MUST turn this into a serious thread, here's my problem with the "Libertarian" mindset (that's basically what I'm thinkin' ya'll are talkin' about)
What I hear coming out of the mouths of Libertarians is "No one is ever tellin' me what to do. Ever." A sort of six-year old's defiance against mom. Basically, I interpret their desire to be for a society almost without law (beyond don't steal, kill, or pee in my still.) SORRY, CHARLIE, but laws exist for a reason. I'm for freedom and liberty as much as the next guy. More so, really. For some, MUCH more so. But I still embrace Constitutional laws. |

You mean like "Thou Shalt Not Build A Semiautomatic Assault Weapon On A Receiver Manufactured After September 1994; Defined As A Rifle Capable Of Accepting A Detachable Magazine And With Two Or More Of The Following Features: Flash Suppressor, Bayonet Lug, Conspicuously-Protruding Pistol Grip, Grenade Launcher, Beer Bottle Opener, Threaded Muzzle". That sort of Constitutional law?? Or how about "Thine Vehicle Fleet Shalt Get Average Gas Mileage Of At Least 32MPG For Passenger Cars And 20MPG For Light Trucks. If Thine Fleet Dost Not, Thou Shalt Be Finethed For Thine Efforts". Or maybe "Thou Shalt Depreciate Thine Rental Real-Estate Across A Period Of Thirty Years, Unless Thou Art A Recovering Forest-Products Industry In the State of Louisiana Engaged In The Rural Louisiana Forestry Job Creation Program In Which Case Thou Mayest Depreciate Your Holding Across A Period Of Five Years". |

Achmed -
Show me where the Constitution says the Fed gov't can make ANY firearms laws. Besides, my point was the general, overriding dislike against the CONCEPT of law that I hear in the voices of most Libertarians. I'm not saying that's what they beleive. I'm saying that what it SOUNDS LIKE they beleive. I DO NOT want to go law by law thru the entire US Code. |

Libertarians sound like they're against a lot of laws because we ARE against a lot of laws: the 95% of them that are unconstitutional, pointless, vague, or just plain criminally stupid (such as the "go ahead and rape that unarmed woman" NYC disarmament laws). Cut the crap laws out, enforce what actually matters, and you won't hear us complaining any more. Does that make sense to you, or would you insist upon forcing a lot of laws on everyone that try to enforce the utopia that YOU want to create? That's what got us into this mess in the first place (along with generalized corruption, stupidity, irrational reactions to events. . . .). |

Even Constitutional ones. It SCARES people into thinking ya'll are anarchists. Friggen jungle dwellers. Take speed limits. Am I "happy" about them? No. Do I embrace their existence as they reduce the danger to me from idiot motorists? Yes, I do. (Speed limits for interstates are constitutional under interstate commerce laws. Local jurisdictions HAVE jurisdiction over local roads) As far as me specifically, you KNOW I'm a very opinionated person with a viewpoint on every subject. And not even remotely hesitant in speaking that opinion. I challenge you to find a SINGLE example of where I have EVER advocated legislating "some utopia that I want to create" into existence. |

I don't think the Founders understood when they created the Legislative Branch that the members would find it necessary to pass innumerable laws as justification for their salaries. They should have put a Constitutional limit on what our "elected representatives" could pass annually. But then, I'm sure they'd have found some way around [i]that[/i] Constitutional restriction as well. |

Actually, I do believe they did understand the line they had to walk. It has been a while, but I think there was a Federalist Paper regarding term limits - more specifically, on how time in office corrupted the public servants, if left unchecked, and what could be done about that. They came down on the side of risking inexperience but favoring shorter term limits. If I am wrong, just smack me [BD] |

[:D] As for peoples' perceptions, some of that has to do with the "informational campaigns" that LP candidates run -- which tend to highlight the extremes of policy -- but IMHO a lot has to do with disinformation, especially by the media and other political parties' activists. They get to set the tone of debate, since they own the outlets and have the access, and they aren't shy about lying and distorting. What was the truth about Ruby Ridge? Most people even today think that Randy Weaver was a terrorist, if they remember it at all. Ask them about the Clinton impeachment and they'll still say it was all about Bill's private sex life. |

[peep] Imbroglio deleted the accustation of me and sukebe being domestic terrorists and then reposted a kinder and gentler post. Only Imbroglio can confirm whether it really posted that line or whether it will lie and deny posting it or whether it cowers and hides with a "no comment" reply. NOW Imbroglio has a chance to show if it has any credibility, honor and integrity by admitting that it DID post that accusation or if is just a contrarian troll. |

I thought it would be difficult to bring Imbroglio out of the woodwork. I was really just taking a cheap shot trying to see if I could get under his skin. I didn't think it would be so easy. In spite of his sense of humor he's pretty sensitive and doesn't like criticism. Like most people he can dish it out but can't take it. Or perhaps he just doesn't like it when people don't think the way he wants them to think. Anyway I was just turning the tables on him a little. Screwing with his head. Man was he easy. |
