Stewart or Beck?

Again, even now that my beliefs are so different than in the past, democrats might be leftier than republicans but they aren't the leftiest it can get (though I believe is more of a matter of political maneuvering than actual centrism). Republicans also aren't really a different extreme. Come one Mom or Llama, republicans are the same sh*t with sometimes saner economic ideas but they are still power-hungry politicians wanting the government to play their game, not really wanting the government to stop playing any games. Republicans, as democrats, are so government-dependent that this whole Stewart-Beck thing is really a confrontation of interests being defended. The difference might be that there are a few republicans that still believe in true old liberalism (the laissez faire kind, the "government get the f**k out of our lives" kind) or even libertarianism. I'm not sure we could find a democrat interested in government backing down though...

Mom, the opposite of total government is not less government, but NO government, I'd say.
