Quote:Now hold on, I've never claimed to hold every view as strict libertarian. I'm not even sure I know all the libertarian points, it's a big party with a diverse base.

 

 

Everyone claims to be a moderate, I meet very few people that don't try and claim the moderate name. Which means usually they just kind of go with the flow or the most popular opinion at the time, I have a deeper respect for people that hold views even when contrary to popular trends or views, that includes the radical left and right.

 

I have more respect for people who view issues on a case by case basis and form an opinion accordingly, rather than going with the radical status quo of their respective party. I also have more respect for people who can concede, at least sometimes, that they are wrong and/or may not be as knowledgeable on certain topics as others.
