Could it be that Michael Moore and Bill O'rielly haven't told any of you political scientists what to think of these cats?
I'm using the term scientist very loosely I might add.

From what I have read. I have no problem with it I figure if you looked hard enough you would find their types in all the political parties. They are just part of the spectrum

Just trying to illustrate a point that I brought up in a previous thread. That point was that political philosophy, like everything else in life, is not cut and dry.
As far as what I think about 'em. I don't support any political parties because I see them all as having an agenda. An agenda that has very little to do with we the common people. I do have to say, they are more progressive than your standard democrats and republicans.
I tend to have a very libertarian philosophy toward life, but vote more republican. I vote this way because the republicans are closer in philosophy to libertarians than democrats, and libertarians are a long way from landing the big seats in office.
If you do some research on the political spectrum, you find that the further to the right you go it's more about freedom. So, libertarians fall further to the right than republicans. Some of the close minded ideas of some republicans don't seem like they are champions of freedom, but they are more so than democrats.
The concept of creating equality can only be achieved by limiting the freedom of the people. Since the dem's stive more toward creating an equal and level playing field they are, in my opinion, against many of my personal freedoms.
Of course, I don't copy and paste my thoughts off radically biased news websites, like I've seen here in the past. I also tend to form my own non-partisan opinions about everything. None of the opinions I form could be packaged neatly in to one little box. Like those of all the "political scientists" on this board.

Dare I say racists come in all colors and creeds. So, while you don't get jewish nazis and black clansmen. You do get hate groups who's memberships are comprised of blacks and jews.

It's all along the same lines of the tired old discussion; Are guys that get topped by t-girls gay?
Not cut and dry.

BOTH Dems and Reps want to limit your freedom. There is no question about that. The only questions are WHICH freedoms they each want to limit. As an example, is the Republican Patriot Act giving you more personal freedom?
I don't think anyone on this board is claiming to be a "political scientist" any more than you are. We are all just giving our opinions.
(I edited out the question I asked. I didn't see that you had already answered it)
