lol I understand the limitations of current political parties, stop being so dense so I can tell you I am more Rand/Hayek/laissez-faire than even you are.
That's your argument? Really? Ok, you win.


I still retained a decent amount of respect for your opinion up until this point. I'm not getting into a dick-size comparison with a child.

In my honest opinion, if you were to look at the political compass, between your socially authoritarian stances and apparent love for Keynesian economics, you match up quite well with Hitler.

I am below and slightly to the left of Friedman.

god. damn. This was not an "argument", I am saying you are making all these nasty accusations about me being a hardcore liberal in the American sense, when in fact I don't prefer those beliefs you say I am espousing, I just consider them for what they are.

also, hitler comparison, nice

It wasn't a Hitler comparison, it was a comparison to your expressed beliefs here on this forum and where I feel you place on the political compass. Hitler was simply a reference point. Do I think you would become a mass murderer if you somehow gained power? No. Do I think you're a control freak? Isn't that obvious? I simply meant that your social and economic views line up pretty closely to his.

You are clearly not getting this, my social and political values aren't anything close to what you are saying they are. The thing is I have no qualms taking the opposition at face value instead of twisting it into something it's not to beat it.
