Democrats sound good to me. They want people to be free but at the same time have a safety net....

Good joke.

I'll go with the Libertarians.

I am serious man, who actually likes Ayers? He is a domestic terrorist who believes in Anarcho-Marxism for Christ's sake!

Ayers isn't an "Anarcho" anything, he's a communist.


Dead0man's a libertarian, they're about limited government, not about having no government.

Not libertarians cause you need some government to help maintain structure.
You are confusing libertarians with anarchists again.  Please stop.  Libertarians don't want NO govt, we want LESS govt.  Huge difference.

Well if you get want you want then the least amount of government might be no government.

How could any amount of government be no government?

simply the fact that no government means it simply does not exists.

Of course, but that's not what I asked you. Smiley

How does 'least amount of government' mean no government? It's not logical.

Considering you can't physically have zero of something, and still say you possess it, then least amount doesn't mean "none". Having even the smallest portion still counts as actually possessing some. Zero is a place holder digit, a concept. I may have the least amount of foresight here for falling into your trap, but I've still got some left. Smiley

zero is a #. If it was not then 1 and so on would not be #'s either.

I never said zero wasn't a number. It makes no difference, but the numbers one and so on were devised before the concept of zero was. I thought this thread is about politics.

Haha, it's fun talking to you. I said:


Zero is a number, but it has no physical equivalent. The least amount of government, in the libertarian view, still means government exists. It doesn't mean zero government, just a smaller one than what we have now, depending on the politicians in charge.
