I've seen the diagram. While it is convenient, I don't think it's comprehensive. If both Libertarians and Conservatives want to make the government smaller, how is that 90 degrees? My observation is that in practice conservatives want to grow government. Just in a different direction than progressi...

http://www.slate.com/id/2236504/ If Lomazow and Fettman are right, Republican Thomas E. Dewey or a different Democrat should have been elected president in 1944. In that case, Harry S. Truman, FDR's vice president, would almost certainly not have been commander-in-chief from 1945 to 1952. The Cold ...

And wait a second, they're conservative commentators, but they're not biased at all? Good thing they're not liberal, those guys bias ALL the news. Oh, and as an engineer it pleases me greatly to ask, where are your citations? I have two points. (Trying to compress this discussion to fewer points.) ...

Hmmm.....

Ask a Republican if he or she wants to get rid of the DEA. Answer almost ALWAYS, "no"! They don't want to make government smaller, just the parts they don't like. They are all too willing to grow government for their own agenda. Libertarians like to trot out the Government Prohibition against drugs...

I know that I've got some gross generalization in here, but so do you. And liberals are just as stupid as conservatives, make just as many idiot decisions. But most everyone here is conservative, so you see the stupidity of the liberals way more than the conservatives. I'm afraid my response is goi...

Defense of the nation is one thing that is ABSOLUTELY essential. It is one of the duties a government MUST do. The other things that people try to get the government to do are not essential for the survival of a nation. Defense is. I agree. The two most important things the government has to do are...

Conservatives and Libertarians agree on one thing certainly. "The government is too big and it spends too much." We have a vector agreement in direction, we just have a disagreement on the scalar value. Libertarians want to go further in the direction of Zero government, (anarchy) but conservatives...

Disagree with you on a lot of points there. Conservatives don't enter the government in self defense, they enter it for power and to 'stop the decay of society.' Conservatives believe in Free Markets. Conservatives want to make money so that they can take care of themselves and their family and so ...

Ah, politics. I really hate politics, you know? And the labels confuse me. Are conservatives people who want religion, guns and big government? Or are they small government, pro science gun owners. Are liberals big government, social science hippies? or are they freedom for all, pro personal rights...

I have not understood anything of what he said. A theory of unification would be quite awesome though. 8 dimensions is not that many either, compared to the - how many was that again?- 12?- of String Theory. Besides, what I always disliked about string theory was that it can not be proven or dispro...

When Tony Blair was Britain's prime minister, he set out to increase the proportion of youth getting higher education to 50%. He was presumably unaware that the overabundance of young people with advanced education preceded the political crises of the age of revolutions in Western Europe, in late T...

Wouldn't it be funny if some surfer dude punched all the other physicists in the G.U.T. ?

We've got a long wait in front of us for news WB8, so it's only natural to discuss other subjects, especially with everything else that happens in the world. If I might suggest, perhaps we could use a humour section just to balance things out a little. That's my thinking as well. In the words of an...
