one thing i've always liked about Vanessa is her involvement and political stance.  It doesn't matter to me what side she takes, the important thing is that she's out there being an advocate, unlike so many other performers.  Anyway, if they don't air the performance (i hope they do) I'm sure there will be pics from it.

Well, when she wrote Ameriteen, I would figure it's pretty obvious that she's not a member of the Grand Order of Pachyderms :(

True, could be worse; for no apparent reason, though, she seems to be the same sort of democrat that my mother is, rather moderate...

As far as parties go, I am closest to Libertarian. I'll take a Republican over a Democrat and a Democrat over a Green.

The major parties are all about restricting your freedom and running your life. Many Republicans seek to destroy your moral freedom. Democrats seem to be bent on destroying your economic and intellectual freedoms.

Why not chose a party that trusts you to run your own life and tells the government they can go fuck off? That's why I'm a Libertarian!

You don't understand Libertarianism. We don't advocate the elimination of government, just a reduction of it.

Libertarianism refers to the moral/ethical point of view on freedom etc, whereas Liberalism refers to the political branch of thought.

Not over here. In the United States, Libertarianism refers to the philosophy of the Libertarian party. As this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism) states at the beginning, you guys have a different definition of the word over there.

Nope, thats not what Liberals believe by default (it seems like they must teach it differently there). There are two main forms of Liberalism which can be identified (though there are loads more): Classical Liberalism- which is what Will refers to as Libertarianism, and Progressive/modern/whatever the hell you want to call it Liberalism which swings more to the left (hence the wealth redistribution and big government)- this is the definition you have of 'Liberals' above.

Yeah, they do teach it differently here. But what would you expect, we do a lot of things different  :lol:.

Not quite. If you would believe the Chomskyist wing of the Democratic party, the Republicans are the bourgeois. Because they have so much friggin money, they can afford real toilets, not those ghetto porta-potties.

Doesn't make them any less full of shit.  In fact they need the more efficient system of modern plumming just to handle it.  Just listen to conservative talk radio; that is proof enough.   :)
