Bushie should join a charismatic church, not Southern Baptist.

Yes. He should form a hipster church in Kenya.

Someone should, but Bushie doesn't strike me as the best choice.

Why not? you don't think Bushie is edgy and hip enough?

Someone should also fill him in on the Yates and JSojourner incidents. I think he's already briefed on the BushOklahoma saga.

I heard about all 3. They were hilarious.

 Haven't heard about CaDan, though.

The remind me of Somalian pirates taking over anything that passes by then again a Paulite world is basically Somalia.

Have you ever even researched Paul's stances on well, anything?

I vomited when I watched it, which is rare for me.

Same here.

Didn't you have a constitution party avatar earlier?

Neither. The 19th century was more libertarian than now, yet due to cultural decay combined with multiple long wars to justify larger and larger states we ended up with our current model of social democracy being the dominant ideological current. Be glad that it wasn't worse. After all, imagine if it had been national socialism or communism that won out in the 20th century.

Trying to implement libertarianism at this point wouldn't work. If you'd like a polity more libertarian in practice than current western nations, be prepared to favor reactionary notions such as limiting or abolishing the universal franchise.

Yeah, the thing is that "discussion" doesn't mean being subjected to social Darwinist rhetoric on health care every time the topic of discussion is even vaguely related.

It's kind of annoying that whenever the topic of UHC comes up everybody seems convinced anyone who doesn't believe in its holy splendor is a total idiot. I have no idea what you mean by "social Darwinist rhetoric." I do believe mankind evolve from an ape, but I don't remember placing emphasis on that or even noting it anywhere on the forum except here now.

He's referring to your not supporting UHC.

Singapore without the drug laws or media censorship. Structured on corporate lines of course, with me as a shareholder getting dividends. I'd hire competent people to do the actual running of it. Hell, I'd even get people from the UAE, Japan, Hong Kong, singapore, Lichtenstein and Monaco as consultants to help structure things.

I'd take millions from donors, end up voting for him and put approximately zero effort in my campaign. After all, campaigning would mean using money gained from donors on it and not stuffing it in a swiss bank account.

[Do any of these "stick out" in terms of your political views? (i.e. a conservative Republican who reads the NYT; a liberal Democrat who owns a gun and attends church every week).]

(1) Secular anti-democratic reactionary. I'm registered as a democrat because I'm too lazy to change my registration.
(2) RT, Al Jazeera, other online sources. Some blogs.
(3) Agnostic
(4) No, but I'd like to.

Yes. I'm non-white and not left-wing. Also, I'm non-religious and not lefty, since that also seems to be common.

Ah, finally some people I know appear in this thread! ^_^

Any really long threads full of hackery I should read?

Ha. Thanks man. *puts on to read list*

Even the title screams "Hack".

Who?

Someone needs to give me a detailed dossier on everyone whose joined since november 2007 since I don't recognize 3/4 of the people posting.

Hi, I'm Smid. I joined in about February of 2008.

You're still posting here?

Nice to see you again.

Which of my timelines? I do post AH stuff, but it's mainly in the form of world descriptions with some maps these days and no longer timelines.

Looking at your views.... Outside of your foreign policy, your anti-tobacco stance and your being overly pro-immigration you seem relatively reasonable. If anything, you strike me as a secular law and order conservative. pity it's more neo than paleo.

Something about a realistic version of the Drakaverse. It was a while ago, I don't quite recall. Yeah, you seem to have gotten the measure of my political views quite accurately.

Realistic Draka? That was a LONG time ago that I've done anything with the draka.

If you like, I could PM you a link to where I post my stuff.

I discovered you can change the email  related to your account and got it reactivated.

Also, I noticed the "humble men" cult had finally died.

BRTD narrowly wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral vote. So BRTD/Tweed.  Then the military takes over.

Romney is tone deaf and out of touch with the 99.99% of Americans who aren't multi-millionaires. Yes, Obama is also out of touch with that same group, but  he's at least less out of touch.

It's honestly enough to make one ill at the prospect of those two being elected president.

If Romney's campaign is limp and the economy continues to slowly chug along without major troubles that map would be a reasonable guess. The only things I'd change would be marking most states with the 40% shade.

Of course, this raises the question: What are the likely shifts in congress with a narrow dem win?

How do the democrats lose over 30% of their approval rating just for passing an amendment to end term limits?

In this matchup between the down home, folksy wannabe troll, the incompetent democratic leader and the first captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise who do YOU pick? I pick James T. Kirk since he's displayed leadership skills which the other two lack.

Zachary, I beg you. In the name of humanity, please stop making polls. Every poll you make makes Jesus weep.

Please stop, Zachary.

A nice young man and a better potential president than Barack Obama.
