Don't get him started on his futurist rantings about technology taking care of our needs and moving towards a resourced based economy and all that. He's got it all figured out and it's all he reads about. Usually he rants while I'm playing video games or sewing, so I listen with only half an ear. Love is when someone does that and you don't mind them disturbing you. I'd have punched anyone else.

RE: What's your alignment?
I am a Republican, left libertarian, Christian conservative, to some degree, non-doctrinaire libertarian socialist (libertarian in the sense of free, socialist in the sense that I think capitalism should be replaced with some other form of ownership, financing, education, organization that should reflect institutionalized concerns of economic equality and democracy, as well as spiritual concerns). I am an environmentalist, against nuclear weapons, pro peace and pro military pragmatist regarding foreign policy. I am against abortion. I am skeptical of the use of reason as a means to achieve political ends in a theoretical context (the labor theory of value anyone?) and accept much of the conservative epistemological outlook. I consider myself to be a feminist but am against the goal of trying to remove all distinctions between men and women.

I am an advocate of free education to achieve economic equality and redistribution of wealth. I am skeptical of taxation as a means to mediate virtue. I am interested in the political philosophers Alaisdair MacIntyre, Russell Kirk and the political philosophy of the Bible. I agree substantially with MacIntyre critique of modernity, though I have not studied it as much as I should. I am skeptical of political correctness and all forms of bullshit.

I am a firm believe in a no bullshit approach to political discernment that says, before anything else, POLITICS IS ABOUT POWER. POLITICS IS ABOUT POWER. POLITICS IS ABOUT POWER.

You guys are questioning me about whether atheism is predominately a left wing movement and 60% of the people in this thread are to the left of the democratic party...

Does somebody have a list I can refer to? All I know is I am a liberal - but I hate the bleeding heart variety.

So what you're saying is you're a fascist commie who believes in liberty but also in forcing religion down the throats of other, who also happens to be pro-peace but for the use of military force for the sake of economic or cultural expansion [which is what military pragmatism is really about].

You are the biggest fucking contradiction ever, you know what? I don't think you have any sense of direction. You think up is down, down is left, right is cubed and left is squigglebox. Your compass is just spinning all over the place.
