    Winter Storm! WHOOT!

    The roads are still horrible here. It took me two hours to get to work, and two hours back. It's finally supposed to be above freezing tomorrow, so I hope the roads are better.

    What party am I?

    I keep holding out hope for third parties. I'm thinking the Green party. Alot of socialism tends to favor big government, which I'm against. Just how much, I'm not sure, but I've been wondering lately how viable anarchism might actually be. I wonder how many Greens favor a small government...

    What party am I?

    This was partly inspired by Mystic's thread, but instead of asking for people to try to convert me to their party, I'm asking, "what party am I"? My political beliefs are basically green, anarchism, socialism, and I'm very liberal. If I had to rank these three in order of importance, it...

    My funny conversation with an Evangelical Christian

    Unexpected, but kind of neat.

    A great video that discusses and rationalizes the combined practice of Zen and Pure Land, in China

    I've never understood separating Zen and Pure Land practice. I practice both.

    Winter Storm! WHOOT!

    Lucky. It's not supposed to get above zero here today, with wind chills still well below zero.

    Winter Storm! WHOOT!

    Negative thirty-something wind chill, with lows in the negative teens. They cancelled work today, and I'm hoping they do tomorrow as well. It's going to take at least a few days before they have the roads cleared enough to drive on again. Kids' school has been cancelled as well. I've thought...

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    Why does it seem like Libertarians are always agreeing with conservatives, or is it just me? On another note, our military is way over-funded. If we'd just stay out of other countries' business, we wouldn't have to spend so much.

    Simply the Most Entertaining Pitches for Christianity E V E R

    Yeah, that guy is a real nut job.

    Convert me to your political party

    I would try to convert you to my party, but I have none. My views are taken from liberalism, green, socialist, and anarchist. I fit nowhere, I'm unique.

    Left behind reboot (2014) starring Nicholas Cage

    I don't like either, so it doesn't really interest me, other than the fact that it's Cage in a Left Behind movie. Should be pretty funny.

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    Well yeah, but I was saying both anarchism and socialism could work, but people falsely equate them with worse things, and gave Stalin and Hitler's regimes as examples, I meant to add of socialism, not really comparing them to anarchism. That's my fault, I just didn't fully flesh out my...

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    I disagree, but this made me think of something. Alot of people in the US associate things like socialism and anarchism with regimes like Hitler's, or Stalin's, but socialism and anarchism, if done right, can work- it's just that it's never really been done.

    Detroit police chief says armed citizens deter crime

    See, it is possible to be one party and still find the good in other parties. Who knew?

    Winter Storm! WHOOT!

    Yeah, I'm not even going to try to start my car, and I'm calling in to work. So you guys are stuck with me all day. :D

    Winter Storm! WHOOT!

    We got a foot of now. Some places around here got fifteen. Now it's time for the high temps in the negatives. The power went out for a while, but just as soon as I got the kerosene heater going, it came back on.

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    Demonization, that's probably most of it. But I wonder just how many people who throw the terms 'socialism' and 'fascism' around actually know what they mean, what they entail.

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    Legion, no need to apologize. I do want to say one thing about something you said in your post, and it kind of goes along with what you were saying. You said: What's interesting to me, is how many people who consider themselves liberal identify as libertarians. This goes along with what you...

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    For starters, we have too many conservatives in this country who think Obama is a socialist, when he's still right of center, and can't really even be considered liberal.

    Facism Anyone? History Comparison

    I doubt it. We've become too lazy, complacent, and satisfied with the status quo, no matter how inane it may be. Every country has their problems. Politics does more to create problems than to solve them. But I'm referring more to an understanding of political philosophy. They know more...
