Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Pretty Good. I don't think it would be a bad idea if they did have a quiz, instead of describing what a Conservative or Liberal thinks of Robin Hood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sturgis Report post Posted February 26, 2003 As a Libertarian I am pissed. Because it sets a very bad sterotype on the Libertarian Party and Libertarians in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted February 26, 2003 As a Libertarian I am pissed. Because it sets a very bad sterotype on the Libertarian Party and Libertarians in general. Every philosophy was stereotyped. The conservatives were portrayed as bible-thumpers. The liberals were portrayed as bleeding hearts. The libertarians were portrayed as anti-goverment. The communists were portrayed as... well, communists. I actually thought the libertarians were parodied the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sturgis Report post Posted February 27, 2003 I actually thought the libertarians were parodied the least. How so? I'm a Libertarian and I'm hardly like that, sure there were some things I agreed with, but for the most part it made Libertarians look bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted February 27, 2003 How so? I'm a Libertarian and I'm hardly like that, sure there were some things I agreed with, but for the most part it made Libertarians look bad. Every philosophy was portrayed in an extremist way. The Libertarians (although parodied) were not parodied as much as, say, Liberals and Conservatives.

Guest JMA Report post Posted February 27, 2003 pro-military Could you elaborate on this? What exactly does it mean to be pro-military? I mean, wouldn't everyone who wanted the US to have a military be pro-military? Or do you mean you support a strong military? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, wouldn't everyone who wanted the US to have a military be pro-military? Or do you mean you support a strong military? Strong military. Being that I grew up in a military household, I'd much rather have an administration in power that understands the importance of a strong military and can appreciate those who do risk their lives in order to keep our country free. What I don't support is shutting down military base after military base just because we aren't at war. *cough cough* like the Clinton administration did *cough cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted February 28, 2003 ... for the most part it made Libertarians look bad. At the risk of being thought uncharitable, they tend to do a good enough job of that themselves. The party itself is the main reason why I am a small-L libertarian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted February 28, 2003 Speaking as the topic starter, I just wanted to provide a little political humor. Things have gotten serious and I thought we could use a break from it. Every philosophy is parodied. If you read the top you see that only the extremist views of the respective parties are parodied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
