Check out my new blog, homes. “Capitalist Dove is for peace, freedom, liberty, justice, constitutionally limited democracy, and global prosperity.”

Classically liberal is a great way to put it.
What exactly would you describe yourself as? Pragmatic libertarian?
Im a Constitutional Minarchist I suppose.

Trent: In case you haven’t noticed, undercover_anarchist to globalist_elitist to G.E. Smith the Capitalist Dove has been a gradual transformation into a kinder, gentler a-hole. I value achievement, and even in my more acidic days, I doubt you could find me knocking down something that someone actually DID. I prefer to smear ideas, not actions.

Seriously, though—I think you and I much are closer together (ideologically, not sexually or anything like that) than we were six months or a year ago. I think we are both more classically liberal than then.

Treasure it,lol.

For the Professor: there are consistent technical issues that (for whatever reason) seem to keep me at a reduced volume at BlogTalkRadio.com. Still trying to work that out.

For Nigel Watt: it was a contract position and therefore temporary by nature. I was axed because, after three months of 75-to-80-hour weeks, I became extremely ill and had to be hospitalized. That’s consulting for you.

Koko: you rock, kid. Keep it up; you’ll find a flow that’s all your own.

I asked the question becouse Steve thinks global warming is a big threat so i asked if he would support the carbon tax.

I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to the debate yet, but don’t let anyone tell you you didn’t do a good thing.

GE is exactly right here … YOU DID IT. Maybe someone else could have done it better, maybe not, but the fact remains that someone else didn’t do it at all. YOU did, and it by God got done.

Thanks for doing it. How many teenagers can say they’ve even TALKED with four presidential candidates, let alone put four presidential candidates together for a debate? That’s the kind of thing that should be encouraged, not nitpicked.

I can state with some certainty that Kubby isn’t going to endorse a carbon tax any more than he would endorse any other tax.

However, that’s a far cry from saying that he “would allow individuals to pollute the air with impunity.” For one thing, he’s already stated several policy positions which, if implemented (and some of them are already being implemented, albeit in a distorted way), would result in reduced carbon emissions.

I’ve been pulling together some information on “cap and trade” for his consideration, but I’m hoping he’ll adopt a simpler and more libertarian solution. There is one, and if you look closely enough at some stuff I’ve written in the past, you’ll find it. Milsted hates it because it accomplishes exactly the same thing the carbon tax does without letting him advocate a tax to prove how mainstream he is.

When i e-mailed the candidates i told them to check me out before responding!! And i do have experince with the BTR system i tried tomute the caller but it accidently was Kubby
