Neo-con pulling for Bush in 2000

Bush didn't seem like a neocon in 2000.

"WHEN THE HELL IS PENN JILLETTE GONNA RUN FOR OFFICE!!!"

Penn Jillette is an anarchist. Therefore, will not run for office.

I've seen a market anarchist lady run for office...

Yes. I have leaned Democrat before Ron Paul. Not that I really changed my ideology, but I have learned to to trust any Democrat, Republican, or any Cabinet members (IE Henry Paulson), The Fed Reserve/Bernanke/Greenspan or Fed Govenment mouthpiece. It's hard for me to believe almost everything they say is a lie. 98% of them are crooks and lifetime politicians that like the lifestyle on the back of the taxpayer. I have never been more angry than I am now about the job they are doing to ruin this country.

About the only guys I will listen to anymore are Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, The Judge, Jesse Ventura, Martin Weiss and maybe a few of the honest politicians in Washington/financial people. There might be a few I missed like Marcy Kaptur, Brad Sherman, Russ Feingold (sometimes), and Kucinich.

There seems to be distrust over Barr because he used to be a neocon. Some people on this board still associate him with that title.

So my question is, have you changed your political ideology? Were you a neocon like Barr? Were you liberal, as I was?

I'm not sure it's recent, but up until about 4 years ago, I was convinced that socialism was the answer. I voted for Kucinich in the Democratic primaries.

I'm not sure if I really was a socialist, or I just thought I was. It was basically the idiocy of many liberals that pushed me out of that camp, and from there my ideology just consistantly went further and further into the libertarian realm.

Moderate turned libertarian turned market anarchist.

I was a minarchist and now I am an anarchist.

I have changed. I went from libertarian (small 'l') to anarcho-capitalist after the RP campaign.

Good to see others transitioning to supporting total freedom. I feel that many new people to the liberty message will be with us within a few years.
