Videos from Porcfest 2009

[dalebert]

I was just chatting with some folks about things we can do to try and get all the various Porcfest videos sort of grouped together on YouTube by using similar tags and such. Good tags can also help the videos to be discovered by more of the right people. Here are some tags I used and I'd be up for suggestions for others. Feel free to copy & paste and use these in addition to whatever you want to add.

I'm uploading mine now.. it was the breakfast party in a bikini event. I used those tags, plus I may add a couple of tantalizing ones as well. It should be up in about an hour.

I think what they mean is that they are libertarians who don't comprehend economics.

With all due respect, that spectrum is historically incorrect and completely confuses the issue. There are a few threads on a couple of forums where there is an attempt to clarify this. Rather than re-start those threads here, could I refer you to those threads for the discussion:

"Definition of Capitalism": https://www.nhteaparty.org/index.php/topic,1465.30.html#lastPost

"Context for the Bailout - Confessions of a Monopolist": http://nhunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=15537.165#bot

"Libertarianism is on the left": http://nhunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=16787.30#bot

For the short historical info, see the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_and_right_in_politics
The key historical part is:

Originally, the defining point on the ideological spectrum were the attitudes towards the ancien régime ("old order"). "The Right" thus implied support for aristocratic, royal and clerical interests, while "The Left" implied support for republicanism, secularism and civil liberties.[1] At that time, support for socialism and liberalism were regarded as being on the left. The earlier "left-wing" politicians were advocates of laissez faire capitalism[citation needed] and the "right-wing" politicians opposed it, until the early nineteenth century when anti-capitalism gained favour among the leftists due to the rise of socialism.

For more discussion of this important concept, we oughta go back to one of the other threads. Now back to PorcFest videos
