*"Classical" liberalism is the antithesis of what Ann Coulter rants about as a cause for the apocalypse, and actually holds laissez-faire capitalism as an ideal.

good point. I remember when in a college class I was in some stupid blonde was shocked that Abe Lincoln was a republican.
Honestly though a lot of the "progressive" causes the democrats take up hasnt won me, the only reason i vote democrat tends to be obvious corruption on the opposing candidate, or standing for something i starkly disagree with.
funny though how a person AGIANST the draft is making the draft thread just as the two anti-draft democrats started the new draft legislation as a shameless scare tactic.
BTW they aren't as desperate as you think. The army just turned me down yesterday saying i wasnt healthy enough.
