Apparently, Romney wants to explore space. o.O
By eliminating NASA and letting the private sector immediately take over and be more effective, as it always does in any situation. Praise be to Free Market Jesus.

But I said that NASA should receive more government funding. Nothing about the free market or whatever.

And another naive young male discovers libertarianism and think's it's special.

Spoiler alert: Libertarianism is nothing but corporate shills who are always MIA when social issues come up.
that's is rather harsh. The basic concepts behind libertarian philosophy are good. The trouble is that they tend to foccus singlemindedly on a highly abstract economic model that was known to be problematic and lead to corporate despotism and economic inequity even by its creator Adam Smith. If only they bothered to take a deeper look at the realities of economic disenfranchisement and the inevitaable corruption resulting from unregulated markets.

It's like you want there to be a New Dark Age or something. Why can't you see the value of science to our society, Romney lover?

Very useful tool to determine who you side with.
This thing.
Yes, I have used it, but there's no "export shitloads of nonsense" button for BBCode.

Well, in that case...

Okay, so maybe I'm no libertarian. I'm apparently a super-left leaner.

Who is Jill Stein and why do my super-left Euro values make me match 95% with her?

You guys have one of them? Wow. TBH Obama came in at 85%, with Romney 49%. Apparently my immigration opinions are a little like his, which is worrying. Maybe I am some kind of racist in denial.

We've had a Green party for years :|
They aren't very big or powerful, admittedly, but they are around.

Not really. The green party never get more than 1% for president, they have never held a seat in the federal congresses, and only 3 have ever been elected to state offices, the other 130something have held only local offices.
