Again? These are my first political posts here. You only use again when you have a previous statement to compare to.
I do. Your posts in this thread.

FFS, Lame argument is Lame.

Sure they are. We believe you.
And you actually believe socialism is better than the principles enshrined in the Constitution?
Where did I say that? Since you're new here, I'll explain a few things:
I'm a libertarian.
I have no religion (I'm agnostic).
I think I'm a better spender of my money than the government is.
I think consumers can wield more regulatory power over business and industry (to bring about desired environmental and product quality/safety standards) with their wallets than government can wield with laws and rules and committees.
I think people should be free to do whatever they want to the extent that it doesn't intrude upon anyone else's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I think people should be free to own and use guns.
I think that if the government must have a role in recognizing the benefits of committed monogamous relationships it should do so regardless of the gender of the participants.
I think religious views are not a good basis for new laws or a justification for reducing people's freedoms.
I think abortion should be safe, legal, and encouraged by society (rather than law) to be as rare as possible.
I think the war on drugs is a monumental waste of time, resources, and most of all.. money. Drugs should be legalized, and any harm caused to others as a result of their use should be punished severely. Those who become addicted to drugs should be treated as patients who need medical/psychological help instead of as criminals who must be locked away.
I think "hate crimes" are unnecessary and unjust. A crime is a crime. Personal beliefs that serve as the root of the crime are not the problem... the crime is the problem and is the only thing the government has a right to prosecute.
There's more, but that's a brief synopsis. I don't fit in well with either of the two major parties.
Wow! For as often as zsdersw disagrees with me, I am almost 100% in agreement with the positions in his self-description. What we have here is a failure to communicate. Hehehe.
I disagree with only the lopsided nature of your posts. Where's your criticism of Jim DeMint? (see this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2110171)
LOL, I only spend a little time in this forum and pick and choose the topics I approach.
Hey, I went to the DeMint thread and posted.Indeed you do pick and choose... to only criticize one "side" and not another.
Hey, I went to the DeMint thread and posted.
Are you suggesting that I follow 1 Corinthians 9:1923?
Name calling. That's just what I expect from lefty libtards. Why don't you argue with facts and try to convince me that Democracy is so great instead of name calling? Because you can't.

Although I'm not agnostic*, you and I are in agreement on pretty much everything here. The only place I disagree is in treating drug addicts as medical patients; I think the vast majority of people taking drugs do so because they like it, and go through rehab only to escape the consequences of taking drugs.
What we need is a fiscally responsible, freedom loving party not in love with taking things away from the people to redistribute, not in love with borrowing money to buy votes, and not in love with using the power of government to force people to behave in ways that 50 percent plus one of voters find appropriate.
*Non-attending Baptist-leaning generic Christian, though unlike a true Baptist I will speak to you in a liquor store.
My research shows that almost all of the voter registration malfeasance, for the last couple of years at least, has been by Democrat voter registration efforts, including substantial failures to deliver a quality product by ACORN and affiliates.
