ALL YOU bush bashers.
If we didn't have Bush we would have been led by the inventor of the internet.
He later became rich pushing man caused global warming. Also like Carter a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. How he was more deserving than the Polish lady that saved over 2500 children from the gas chambers shows how realistic that award is.
By the way there is another large storm on Jupiter caused by a warming atmosphere and I believe that Mars is also warming. Both caused by Mans warming effects no doubt.I'm done. Heypa.

First, are you now claiming to be a libertarian?
And second, do you spell that with a capital L?
I think you are incredibly confused, based on what you've written in past posts, in the event you are trying to claim the libertarian badge.
I also think you're confused about me, but I don't think it could be based on what I've written. I think I'm pretty clear and unambiguous in expressing my political philosophy. I'm most certainly conservative, which in it's purest American interpretation, is actually not far removed from libertarianism (the greatest difference being the degree of the use of allowable force by the state in imposing social order/law and order), despite great success the CURRENT GOP has had in convincing the general public that it is conservative (again, in the American tradition), which is most certainly not.
The modern GOP is not conservative. It has espoused theory and action that is contradictory to conservatism, especially in the areas of foreign policy and the size, scope and role of government.
As far as neoconism is concerned, it's not a 'real' philosophy, AFAIC. It's more akin to a barnacle of an outgrowth of a small group of individuals that believe they can hijack certain elements of conservatism, which in the American tradition, is not interventionist in terms of foreign policy, and morph it and twist in ways such that it becomes a tool to use American resources to benefit particular groups or nations, at the expense of American interests.
Neoconism is really a kinder, gentler and newer word for fascism. And that's why the neocons (I'll call them that for now for lack of a better term) currently associated with and influencing the GOP have proven so injurious to true, American conservatism, the Republican Party itself, and the chances of increasing public support for politicians that truly do favor smaller government, more intelligent and less interventionist (and preemptive) foreign policy, and a the beautiful and poetic truism that government should fear its citizens, and not the converse.
The neoconism permeating the GOP for the last 8 years has set the cause of conservatism back for perhaps several decades. It will take that long for Republicans to disassociate themselves from neocon principles, assuming they are willing and able to, and begin to rebuild a reservoir of trust with the American electorate.
In the interim, there's now a greater chance that a tidal wave of welfare state liberalism will rise again in the U.S., than perhaps in 40 years.
If it does, it may just manage to outdo Bush II in deficit spending. But we can at least hope that no unnecessary wars or further trampling of the constitution will occur during that time.
That's the best that we true conservatives can hope for in the wake of Bush II. And that's a damn shame.
True, although he was an Illinois State Senator during the period in question and spoke out strongly against waging war in Iraq. Here are his remarks made on October 2, 2002 which reinforce the merits of his foresight in judgment -

When one takes into account Rev Wright, Father Flagler, Rezko, the terrorist, etc., Obama's judgement is remarkably flawed. The fact that he could make a speech with leftist anti war talking points prove little.
I've always claimed that, with a small "l". Just do a search for libertarian under my username. I would use the term classical liberal (Jefferson/19th century type, minus the slaves - unless they consent of course
) except that in the US "liberal" now means socialist. Check my posts on politics here, they are almost always in favour of free markets and individual liberty.
Yeah Gramm - He's the other Texan that fooled me real good
For years, I swallowed his bait on everything that came out of Senate Banking.
So Bush made all his Oil company constituents rich beyond belief but the rest of the country isn't allowed along for the ride. 
I seriously think the world has lost it's mind.
How is this shite happening ?
Bush is the kid in high school that I use to beat up because he was such a kiss ass dweeb.
When will you folks (US) finally wake up - I say it's still not too late to empeech the bum and make an example of him.
