I guess the "milquetoast centrist" flavour of liberal would fit well in the LibDems. And yeah, if Obama were Canadian or British, what are the odds that he'd be a Tory?

The Coalition is the catch-all term for Liberals and Nationals, as the Nationals are essentially the Liberal Country Party.

I have never heard a Pitbull song that I'm aware of and my only recollection of him is that time the internet forced him to play a concert at a Walmart in nowhere Alaska, but I have this impression of his target market overlapping heavily with Kid Rock.

The OP of the current Auspol thread has a really good rundown of the main political parties in Australia, and I found it both enlightening and entertaining. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3646846 They have an actual functioning multi-party system, with Senators from 9 different parties, including one from the "Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party."

He was really cool about that though, or at least sufficiently acted like he was cool about it.

I don't know, maybe? I've seen a fair number of Kid Rock fans that I doubt listen to Pitbull. Kid Rock has that angry white male thing going on.

To vastly oversimplify, Liberalism was originally the term for a bunch of philosophies built on individually oriented universal deonotological rights systems, quite primitive ones at first. These were some of the foundational philosophies that got us to the modern era of republicanism, but it turns out (shocker) that building a society around an absolute, fundamental and God-given right to personal property that supersedes all other things has a tendency to make people kill each other.

Note the "extremely oversimplified" part, though. I can't give you a full history of philosophical liberalism, but the wikipedia page looks to be very good aside from the very top of the article. Here's the definition/etymology section:"wikipedia posted:Words such as liberal, liberty, libertarian, and libertine all trace their history to the Latin liber, which means "free". One of the first recorded instances of the word liberal occurs in 1375, when it was used to describe the liberal arts in the context of an education desirable for a free-born man. The word's early connection with the classical education of a medieval university soon gave way to a proliferation of different denotations and connotations. Liberal could refer to "free in bestowing" as early as 1387, "made without stint" in 1433, "freely permitted" in 1530, and "free from restraint"—often as a pejorative remark—in the 16th and the 17th centuries. In 16th century England, liberal could have positive or negative attributes in referring to someone's generosity or indiscretion.[13] In Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare wrote of "a liberal villaine" who "hath...confest his vile encounters". With the rise of the Enlightenment, the word acquired decisively more positive undertones, being defined as "free from narrow prejudice" in 1781 and "free from bigotry" in 1823. In 1815, the first use of the word liberalism appeared in English. By the middle of the 19th century, liberal started to be used as a politicised term for parties and movements all over the world. Boiled down, you could say Liberalism is a big tent for all ARE FREEDUHMS arguments, with all the rhetorical power and political/practical problems that that entails.

Doughbaron posted:SCOTUS legalized virtual and drawn CP in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition I believe, so Japan isn't the only country to be ashamed of here. Most countries have it legal, but usable as additional evidence against someone who already has actual child pornogrpahy or has been caught actually molesting children. This was used recently for some school teacher in Idaho who had download real child porn but erased it, and was suspected of molesting his students; and he was nailed on the vast amount of drawn stuff he had as well the fact ISP logs showed he had also access real stuff at similar times.

Our trains are already privatised and its poo poo so I dont think libertarians want to draw attention to that here. What is the deal with trains in the us are they private? National? Or is it a region by region thing?
