My favourite Twitterer is Norm MacDonald. Before he got Sports Show he was live-tweeting watching shit on TV... hilarious.

I think you mean neoconservatives... who call themselves "classical liberals" or "libertarians", but have sort of missed the point of, say, Locke.

I'm not sure what else I can say to show why I think that view of things is mistaken... and likewise, you've said a few things there that you assume are obviously true, but they aren't obvious (if they were, everyone would see that they were true), and I don't think they're true either.

Re: Republican Debate 8-11-11

Well, the point is more that it's almost impossible to agree on everything that should be "cut" from federal programs. The "principled" position that Ron Paul and like-minded folk take (included Obama on gay rights, by the way) of "states' rights" sounds good when it's applied, say, to frontier cult...

Re: Irresistible Force

I also agree with a sentiment expressed by Perry, that a band/person is lucky if they ever write ONE great song... and JA wrote at least four (Jane Says, Ted, Then She Did, Three Days)... So I can't expect Perry, Dave, and Steven to be held up to that standard anymore... It's a very conservative, an...

Coldpay aren't horrible, they're just a different style of music... and that's what's disturbing about JA 3.0... it shouldn't be called JA precisely because it's not proto-alternative punk-prog-funk-metal fusion. It's straightforward adult contemporary "rock", which is what Coldplay and U2 excel at....

As I said in the other thread, even though I dislike him (for both reasons and non-reasons), he sometimes says things I agree with, though almost always for different reasons, which is interesting in itself. I'm for individual liberty, but I have a different conception of liberty than Paul does. His...

I don't think anyone can actually believe we should do all the things he's said we should do, over the years, and I also think he knows less about the subjects he talks about than he portrays himself as knowing.

I don't have time or energy to hate any politician(s), but I do have more or less respect for lots of them. The politician I respect the least is Ron Paul.
