Who is currently the most conservative US Supreme Court Justice?
Clarence Thomas, a Republican nominated by George H. W. Bush in 1991, is considered the most conservative, with Antonin Scalia, a 1986 Reagan nominee, running a close second. Thomas has strong Libertarian leanings, supporting state's rights and taking an orthodox approach toward interpreting the Constitution. Scalia is considered an "originalist" in his thinking, meaning he considers the intention of those who framed and amended the Constitution in his interpretations.

What is the origin of freedom?
The origin of freedom is deeply rooted in philosophical, historical, and social contexts. Philosophically, concepts of freedom emerged from Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who emphasized individual rights and the social contract. Historically, movements for freedom have arisen in response to oppression, such as the abolition of slavery, civil rights movements, and decolonization. Ultimately, freedom is seen as a fundamental human right that evolves through societal values and struggles for justice.
What doesn't a Democrat believe in?
Unlike Republicans, Democrats are all over the map on this one. Some Democrats look more like moderate Republicans; these are called Blue Dogs. Many Democrats don't believe we should have invaded Iraq. A lot of Democrats don't believe we should be building the New Berlin Wall along the Mexican border.
Freedom is an ambiguous term which means very different things to various people in various times and places. Personally, I believe freedom has two main components:
- The freedom from the exercise of arbitrary power against you. That is, people cannot simply do what they want against you with your permission.
- The freedom to express oneself without fear of reprisal. This is a more complicated part because it often involves one's capacity to express oneself and expression in some kind of political system.
People often also distinguish between negative and positive freedom. A negative freedom is the right to not have something done to you; a positive freedom is the right for something to be given to you.
Why are Libertarians unpopular?
Libertarians are unpopular because they threaten the status quo of the United States two party system. The Republican and Democratic parties essentially "own" the political landscape, supported by followers who with religious conviction demonize anyone not like them.
Ironically, it is the libertarians who are most like the founding fathers who valued individual liberty and responsibility while limiting the power and focus of government.
Sadly, the United States is in deterioration due to the over reaching agendas of both Democrats and Republicans who require votes and contributions to maintain power thereby forcing an ever expanding vortex of bigger government & higher taxes.
Libertarians understand the waste and threat of an ever expanding government.
What is the Comparison between authoritarian and libertarian?
They are antonyms. Authoritarianism is the belief that the government should have almost all power, and the individuals very little. Libertarianism is the belief that the government should have almost no power, and the individuals very much (though this power is diluted through a large population).

Was Eisenhower's policy of massive retaliation effective?
Eisenhower's policy of massive retaliation aimed to deter Soviet aggression by threatening nuclear response to any act of aggression. While it successfully conveyed the U.S. commitment to defending its allies and maintaining a strong deterrent posture, it also escalated tensions during the Cold War and limited U.S. options in conflicts requiring more nuanced responses. Critics argue that the policy could have provoked rather than prevented conflicts, as seen in situations like the Taiwan Strait Crisis. Overall, its effectiveness is debated, as it shaped military strategy but also contributed to a precarious global standoff.

How do you determine the number of ridings in Canada?
The number of ridings in Canada is determined by the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, which mandates a review of electoral districts every ten years. The process involves analyzing population data from the national census and considering geographic and demographic factors to ensure effective representation. Each province and territory is allocated a specific number of ridings based on its population relative to others. Adjustments may also occur due to changes in population distribution or shifts in demographics.
Which group's views are considered to be on the left?
In politics, the term 'the left' refers to the radical or socialist views and political position of certain parties of a political system, or may refer to the position taken by members within a particular political group, party or sector. ('The right' refers to a more conservative position, one that preserves traditional or cultural values.) Related political terms: left wing, center (holding moderate views, neither left nor right), right wing. ---- NOTE:
1. While it is easy to describe certain political positions as being either 'left' or 'right', in reality such a clear distinction cannot always be made between their respective policies. Many right-wing groups embrace left-wing principles, and vice versa. Party manifestos cover a wide range of social, financial and commercial issues, and often there is very little difference, if any, between the position of the 'leftists' and the 'rightists' on some matters. (In order to identify how far 'left' or 'right' a particular position is, a close and detailed analysis of each political stance is recommended.) 2. Political views are far more complex than simply left or right. See related links below. ---- IDEOLOGIES
Some ideologies considered to be ...
* left: communism, anarchism, social democracy, anti-capitalist * right: monarchists, 'aristocrats', royalists, imperialism, fascism, religious fundamentalism, capitalist. EXTREMES: Some leftist or rightist views are considered by others to be extreme-left or extreme-right (far right). ------------------------------------------------------- A few examples of political positions, by country:

What are the policies of the Libertarian Party?
In short, Libertarians believe the government should never violate an individuals rights (socially liberal), and should be extremely limited its power, especially in regards to the economy (economically conservative).
Carried forward, Libertarians generally support gay rights, a woman's right to choose ("pro-choice"), and an individuals privacy (opposed to the Patriot Act, and to a degree also opposed to the CIA). Anything that expands the individuals' rights, Libertarians support.
Economically, Libertarians generally believe that Capitalism should be unregulated. There are some blatant problems with monopoly and scams (i.e. Ponzi schemes), and a certain number of Libertarians believe there ought to be some regulation.
In a similar vein, Libertarians generally are opposed to the power of the monopoly called government. As a political philosophy, Libertarians believe the government should exist only to protect the liberties of its citizens. A strong military is acceptable, but Libertarians favor the philosophy of the founding fathers - nonintervention.
These "policies" are only as I understand them, and should not be taken as representative of all Libertarians. Visit www.LP.org to learn more.
Foreign policy is the practices associated with a government's handling foreign nations. Nations can change their foreign policies at any time with the right votes.
