Libertarians believe in liberalism. That makes sense to me. Liberals (US version) believe in modernised capitalism and conservatives believe in traditional values and capitalism?

Does that some it up?



Not even remotely. Political divisions in the United States:

Conservatives - Believe in a limited government. The rights and freedoms of the individual are paramount. Most of these tend to be in the Republican Party which would be equivalent to England's Conservative Party.

Liberalism - Code word for Socialist. Liberals in the U.S. preach BIG government. Personal freedoms are to be sacrificed in favor of government run social programs. Most of these folks belong to the Democrat Party and would be right at home with England's "Labour" Party.

Libertarians - Borderline anarchists. They believe in absolute individualism. Personal freedoms should be almost boundless. The government is the cause of most problems...NOT the cure. I am not aware of a British equivalent.

Unless its the military, then the bigger the better. In fact, it would be awesome if everyone was in the military, then it could have near unlimited funding.

Unless those rights/freedom involve the following:
- Having an abortion
- Marrying someone of the same sex
- Burning a flag
- etc,etc,etc.

Which personal freedoms, specifically, are you talking about?

Iraq was never a threat to us.



Saddam was threat to the world. How many UN inspections were denied?

I am glad we went to Iraq. It is time to return now. The threat is no longer there.

A lot of countries are a threat to the world.

Is it your suggestion that we should immediately spend 1 trillion+ each invading each of the following countries?

- Pakistan
- North Korea
- Iran
- Syria
- Myanmar

That's $5 trillion bucks!

So let's get started ridding the world of all countries that pose a threat. Bring your credit card.

We can't. Our government is more concerned about using the credit card on "cash for clunker" programs and botch health care programs that can;t even get a leg up. Ha Ha Ha

Saddam was very proud of his nukes.
The state department has pictures of him showing them off.
Where are they now?
I hope I don?t find out.
Hint:
The Old Soviet Union is missing five, they aren?t in my garage.
