  1. Your average "conservative," today, is pretty much what a liberal was in the '60s. Yeah, there are quite a few who are against abortion, but I don't consider that a left-vs-right thing. It's more of a "How do you define human life?" thing.

  2.  @dallas9795  : I think you misspelled "pokahonkey." Meh. "Whiskey, whisky, whiskie..." "Potayto-Potawto." I'll show myself to the door.

  3. I'm torn on AOC, because her ignorance is something of a shield against the Swamp. She was OFFENDED by the fact that "Freshman Congress Orientation" was wall-to-wall lobbyists. She doesn't know how that game is played, which is ignorant, but the game, itself, is crooked as hell, and she was right to call them out. Ilhan Omar got it all wrong on the facts as to when CAIR was created (She said after 9/11, when it was created in 1994). But she NAILED it when she called out the Patriot Act for its police-state features, which you just don't hear "old hands" in Congress talking about. As more or less of a crusty old bastard, who believes in old-fashioned tolerance and basic individual rights, I'm pretty eclectic about things. When these clowns get something right, I try to see past my apparent tribe and not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Sometimes it's the Republicans acting all tribal and regressive. More often, of late, it's been the Democrats, and the degree to which they've regressed is far beyond anything the Republicans appear to be doing. Most of the things I disagree with are the things there's bipartisan support for. The Republicans LOVE Free Stuff just as much as Democrats, these days. The Democrats like the arms industry as much as any war-hawk Republican.

  4.  @theWashingtonPigskins  : I think if the Libertarians would push hard for - and be seen working hard for - LOCAL charities and social safety net, that the vast majority of the country would be more Libertarian than anything else. "Do your own thing" on the social front. "Respect the rights of others." "No foreign wars." "Even playing field." "No more crony capitalism (which is just a fancy phrase for fascism).
