		<description><![CDATA[Not sure if you read the first line in my post.... &quot;an 1800s liberal&quot; ....or &quot;as liberalism was understood in the 1800s&quot; if you prefer.
Yes, Tea Party &amp; Libertarians, of which I consider myself to be one. Couldn&#039;t agree with you more. But if you were to put those platforms side by side in the 1800s--you would most closely be associated with what was called  &quot;liberalism&quot; in those days.
An odd parallel with how perceptions can be skewed is in the old Soviet Union where &quot;Conservatives&quot; were in charge &amp; protective of the status quo, expansive government &amp; were resistant to change &amp; reform.......while what were called &quot;liberals&quot; were the group clamoring for a reduction in the size &amp; scope of the state &amp; the introduction of market reforms.
I never could figure that one out back in the 1970s &amp; 1980s when those terms were used in reporting on the USSR--erroneously.

That was my only point.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fantastic article! An excellent explanation of Regressives and their ilk. Only a brain-dead idiot can&#039;t see the blatant hypocrisy!
Time to start fighting back by reminding them that if they really, truly believed what they preached, they would put their money where their mouths are and live up to their own rhetoric. Watch how apoplectic Regressives get when you use that against them. They can&#039;t stand it.
Regressives are hypocrites of the highest order and mentally deranged.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, we shouldn&#039;t be using the term &quot;carbon footprint&quot; at all, in ANY context, because it&#039;s a bull$hit term made up by the far left liberal progressives to describe something that they made up that doesn&#039;t even exist.

CO2 isn&#039;t carbon!  Calling CO2 &quot;carbon&quot; is like calling H2O &quot;hydrogen&quot;. There&#039;s no such thing as a &quot;carbon footprint&quot;, &amp; people don&#039;t leave &quot;carbon footprints&quot; unless they&#039;re coal miners, walking on a white rug with their work boots. When we use these made up words we give them legitimacy that they don&#039;t have or deserve.

I hate Al Gore because he&#039;s a lying POS, not because he uses lots of fuel. With our current technology, we&#039;re perfectly capable of burning hydrocarbon based fuels without doing any damage to our environment, which happens to be doing just fine BTW. And we might as well do so since, contrary to one of the many BIG lies our government has been telling us, we have more than enough of it to last us for a couple of hundred years or more.

How evil is our current government?

They won&#039;t let our oil companies drill for oil in our coastal oil fields, because of the alleged environmental risks, but they give billions of dollars in loans to Petrobas, a Brazilian oil company owned in part by George Soros, so that they can drill for oil on OUR continental shelf, and sell it to our enemies (communist China). 

Since they won&#039;t allow our own oil companies to satisfy our energy needs with OUR OWN OIL, we&#039;re forced to buy a huge percentage of the oil we use from the arab oil states, who use our money to support international Islamic terrorism, and from other communist oil producing states such as Venezuela. Talk about giving aid and comfort to our enemies... jeeez... They should all be stood up in front of a firing squad....

We&#039;re running out of time folks... if we don&#039;t put an end to these $cumbags soon, the America which we know and love will be gone forever..

Atlas is getting ready to shrug!

		<description><![CDATA[I disagree.  
The Tea Party believes in self-reliance, the concept of the individual, small gov&#039;t, small taxes, and free-market capitalism.  They also believe that both parties have gone beyond the Constitutional constraints on gov&#039;t power, and both parties are leading the country to financial ruin.  Contrary to these beliefs, classical liberals believe in big gov&#039;t, and big taxes, and big gov&#039;t intrusion into the lives of people and the economy (although not gov&#039;t control to the degree that Marxists do).

Libertarians (whom I don&#039;t know enough about.....yet) have a very conservative and fundamental approach to the economy.  Keep gov&#039;t out of the economy.  I&#039;m really positively impressed with their approach to the economy, as exemplified by their support for the Austrian School of Economics (http://mises.org/) as the basis of Libertarian economic thought.  

On social issues, and maybe this is where Libertarians are similar, in some ways, to classical liberals, they believe in individual freedoms, namely that the gov&#039;t should stay out of the culture wars, that as long as nobody is being harmed by another&#039;s actions that gov&#039;t should not use its coercive power that only results in dividing society.  Classical liberals would differ in that they would want to use gov&#039;t power to settle cultural issues in favor of the liberal perspective.

It looks to me, at this time, that the Libertarian party is &quot;the&quot; party of freedom.  They speak often about individual liberty, and I can&#039;t remember when the Reps have last promoted individual freedom....especially now that the Dems have become the only viable Marxist party in America and are seeking to replace individual freedom with government control and collectivism.]]></description>

<p>Libertarians (whom I don&#8217;t know enough about&#8230;..yet) have a very conservative and fundamental approach to the economy.  Keep gov&#8217;t out of the economy.  I&#8217;m really positively impressed with their approach to the economy, as exemplified by their support for the Austrian School of Economics (<a href="http://mises.org/" rel="nofollow">http://mises.org/</a>) as the basis of Libertarian economic thought.  </p>
<p>On social issues, and maybe this is where Libertarians are similar, in some ways, to classical liberals, they believe in individual freedoms, namely that the gov&#8217;t should stay out of the culture wars, that as long as nobody is being harmed by another&#8217;s actions that gov&#8217;t should not use its coercive power that only results in dividing society.  Classical liberals would differ in that they would want to use gov&#8217;t power to settle cultural issues in favor of the liberal perspective.</p>
<p>It looks to me, at this time, that the Libertarian party is &#8220;the&#8221; party of freedom.  They speak often about individual liberty, and I can&#8217;t remember when the Reps have last promoted individual freedom&#8230;.especially now that the Dems have become the only viable Marxist party in America and are seeking to replace individual freedom with government control and collectivism.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Reps and Dems have both allowed companies to help write laws pertaining to their industries.  This has been going on since the early days.  There&#039;s a simple reason for it, and I believe a positively functioning reason for it, namely that Congressionals and their staffs are ill-equipped to know the industries, their sub-sectors, and the markets they deal in.  

The main cause, at hand, is not to cripple companies, industries, etc., since they contribute to employment of US families, to economic development, and toward raising the standard of living for all Americans.  So, companies help write new legislation and regulations because they know their areas of functioning and Congressionals don&#039;t.  

So, the contribution of companies, overseen by Congressionals, is a very positive relationship when it comes to drafting new legislation or regulations that effect companies and, hence, the economy, the standard of living, employment, etc
.
To leave companies out of it would result in central planning and that arrangement never works to the benefit of anyone except the political class.

Your assertion that nobody pays attention to Chomsky, Moore, etc., is nothing more that a reflection of your personal judgment and, perhaps, your own ignorance of the influence such people have on the voters.  I know the opposite of what you know, namely, I know Moore, Chomsky, et al, do indeed have an influence.  Hey, witness Moore being sat next to Jimmy Carter during a Dem national convention.  (and don&#039;t try to discount the importance of it by saying Carter is a jerk and that nobody listens to him besides aging Quaker hippies, or some such other demeaning statement that only reflects the limitations of your own intellect and of your own knowledge.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rhetorically, this article succeeds where Daniel Greenfield&#039;s article about Saudi Arabia being &quot;the real&quot; apartheid state fails. Namely, this article does rhetorically construct the uneven contrast between progressive fundraisers and conservative fundraisers. Where the article fails, though is in two places. One, the author attempts at the beginning to do brain salad psychology, which is out of his field. Two, Mr. Thornton falsifies the true comparative size of the money both conservatives and progressives invest to bribe, skew, and circumvent the political functioning of our country. Part of this falsification is the misdirection by half-truth that progressives subvert various foundations. The other unstated rest of truth is that conservatives allow corporations to write laws outright or provide staff directly to the government, or manipulate core commodities. Really, both conservatives and progressives are meddlesome oligarchs in the same regard. This leads to the third failing of the rhetoric of Mr. Thornton&#039;s article, which is that he contends that people take limousine liberals like Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky seriously. Really, only a handful of balding Quaker hippies do that. Moore and Chomsky at best capitalize upon suffering. The general public recognizes them as as much a part of the Establishment as the Koch Brothers are.]]></description>
