Mafoo's kind of outside what most Republicans believe. Mafoo is pretty libertarian but is also more pro-military than most libertarians.

Tyrannical is more in line with the "Republican philosophy".

This, although I think most libertarians are for a strong military. I have a very strong respect for the people in our military, even though I dislike the decision by our politicians to go to war in Iraq.

As for people calling me “right wing” earlier, that's funny. We have been talking about fiscal responsibility in these forums. If we were talking about abortion, gay rights, legalizing drugs, or any number of other social responsibilities, the last thing people would call me is “right wing” ;)

 

Yeah, ironically for how many fights me and Mafoo get in the only issues we really disagree on are the government's role in the economy (obviously that is a pretty big issue) and the degree to which we are "pro-military."  Other than that, we don't disagree on very much.  I'm not sure about his stance on environmental issues.

I like Libertarians more than Republicans because they actually do stick to their fiscally conservative guns.  I'm all for the reduction of the national debt, I just disagree on the means to acheive reducing the national debt and don't think the time to start being fiscally conservative is the middle of a recession verging on depression.

Republicans are for the most part fiscally conservative in name only. So in many ways I don't see eye-to-eye with Republicans on just about anything considering how socially conservative the party has become.

I think its the recent economic turmoil that has brought all these economic issues to the forefront, which is why there has been so much arguing about them to the exclusion of other issues.

 

 

Why would you want the debt to be lowered. And of course Republicans aren't responsible, their politicians. Someone get the guillotine.
