Miller is in no way a right-wing parrot; in fact, I’ve generally thought his positions lean left. Guy must be doing something—like actually thinking for himself—correctly. And I don’t even particularly like the guy, yet I feel compelled to defend him against your, in my opinion, misplaced charges against his character. Liberal is no extreme right wing nut either. He opposes nearly everything the current administration promotes, and most of what the Republican party has practiced going back to _at least_ Nixon. Liberal is pretty staunchly libertarian—in the classical meaning of the word (as his moniker implies); the way Camille Paglia was using it when she said: > [@](#): > > My thinking tends to be libertarian. That is, I oppose intrusions of the state into the private realm—as in abortion, sodomy, prostitution, pornography, drug use, or suicide, all of which I would strongly defend as matters of free choice in a representative democracy. And in fact, Liberal goes further and his provenance as libertarian can be seen in Patrick Henry’s use of the term, “liberty” when he (Henry, not Liberal, Liberal’s not that old) and fought for the effectuation of liberty for all U.S. citizens by championing the Bill of Rights in the Virginia Convention for the ratification of the Constitution. andros is much of the same mold as Liberal, with perhaps a slightly more left slant on social issues. I kinda think of andros as our Paul Kurtz. He advocates a truly free society which would strive greatly to develop a genuine and useful social conscience. > [@](#): > > I don’t participate in many of the political whingings of the board, so I am ignorant in many cases. Ignorant, I tell you! It shows. But my question then would be, why sling the accusations if you’re unsure of their validity? ---

> [@UncleBeer](#): > > Miller is in no way a right-wing parrot; in fact, I’ve generally thought his positions lean left. Guy must be doing something—like actually thinking for himself—correctly. I don’t see your logic there. If he leans left, then he’s thinking for himself? People who think correctly for themselves don’t just lean left–they are committed body and soul to the left. > [@](#): > > And I don’t even particularly like the guy, yet I feel compelled to defend him against your, in my opinion, misplaced charges against his character. My impression has simply been that he’s a rightwing fuckhead. That may change as he and I get to know each other better. > [@](#): > > Liberal is no extreme right wing nut either. No, you’re correct. He’s just a totally fucking retarded libertarian. And libertarians are the very dregs of the political types. They blab more than anyone about things less realistic than anything with a chance of executing their fuct ideas somewhere below nothing. > [@](#): > > andros is much of the same mold as Liberal, with perhaps a slightly more left slant on social issues. OK, so he’s Liberal’s little bitch. Thanks for the synopsis. > [@](#): > > But my question then would be, why sling the accusations if you’re unsure of their validity? I am justly chastened.
