I swear to Freud, "neo-liberal" is the hipster leftist equivalent of "neo-confederate". Also, they might actually have a point regarding folks reading too much Hayek; look at the amount of times he's presented as second only to Friedman as a free market advocate, when the media's forced to give any remotely non-statist view

My honest question is, who defines the center? If we took the political spectrum as an aggregate total of human history, starting with Paleolithic hunter-gatherer family units and moving on down to modern democracies, the mainstream West is extremely far to the left and authoritarian ends on the political compass. Even restricting this sample to the

Wait a minute... wait a minute... WAIT A MINUTE. Survivalism, primitivism, decentralism and Islam... holy Shiite guys, I think F4M might be one of the Taliban.

I predict ( no pun intended ) Gingrich will win Iowa and Bachmann Virginia. Ultimately, the nomination will go to Rick Perry, and Romney will withdraw after a beatdown on Super Tuesday, the rest of the primaries after that being more of a formality than an actual contest. Perry will choose Gingrich or Bachmann as his running mate, and will go on to
