Quote:I'd say TAM is closer to the Green Party than Libertarian. Since he doesn't seem to want to privatize everything, and doesn't think the government is an EVIL entity, and businesses are bastions of goodness who only do good.


But it's an easy mistake to make, to think it's libertarian to want the government to still do things, but to cut back on some of the things they shouldn't be doing. You know, expecting some sort of fiscal responsibility, but not privatize everything and cut funding to everything except the military.

Yeah, I like a lot of what the green party has to say.


I'm glad you get my point, though. The fact that you must pass some purity test to be considered libertarian is stupid. But that's always been the problem with conservatives... They want to make exclude people and shrink the number of people that would support the majority of their views.


The libertarian and green party actually have a lot of issues in common. But conservatives are to blinded by fighting an "us versus them" war that they can't recognize that.
