I don't know if this one has been tried yet, but damn it, it should! I'm offering my candidates based on their acceptance of reality, despite their personal political beliefs.


Best Conservative: Corneliu
Best Moderate: Eutrusca (an easy pick)
Best Liberal: Potaria
Best Libertarian: Backwoods Squatches
Best Nazi: Free Emerica (formerly a Nazi but now a Conservative, see, best sense of perspective)
Best Leftist: Hmm, I'll leave this one open, I think a good portion of them have a great sense of perspective, which also isn't fair because I am a leftist. Possibly Pure Metal

Now, I could start some flaimbait on your pick for best conservative, but I would just make sense and we can't have any of that on NS :D .

I would say Best Conservative would probably be Whispering Legs. I don't agree with him often (or maybe ever) but you can't take him lightly.

Cat-Tribe and The Nazz on the left, however you'd want to arrange that.

Super-Power or Swimmingpool, is one of those guys libertarian? I don't know if either of them impress me for looking at issues or if that's an illusion because I get the two of them mixed up so it looks like they are complex.

Well, Corneliu just lied and is now unable to admit it in another thread, so I'm not sure about his spot there. I agree with Whispering Legs being best conservative: he (or she?) doesn't piss me off (much) and presents good reason to his arguements.

Eutrusca pretends to be a moderate but is actually one of the most conservative (in its real meaning) poster that we have (He is currently on a two week enforced rest from posting).

In my opinion I would nominate

Conservative: Whispering Legs
Moderate: Niccolo Medici
Liberal (Classic): Vittos Ordination/Santa Barbara + many others
Libertarian: Whipjangle or Eichen
Nazi: Contradiction in terms
Leftist: Pure Metal/Ariddia

In Portland, all the pot is home-grown right in the city. Peak freshness and stone, with the best tastes and lowest prices on bongs and things around. The Oregon weed most people smoke is Guerilla grown up in the Mountains, but in Portland, it's all home-grown.

I think a true moderate would be hard to find on a forum like this. First, there is the 'with us against us' attitude of the 'right in charge' that strives to make them look like the normal right and hopes to paint everything to the left of them as 'extreme.' That has muddied the center.

Next, conditions have come to the point where the fence is no longer a place anyone can really sit. The climate is forcing people to chose sides. Look at Jon Stewart-under any other circumstance he would be a moderate, a centrist. But he dares question King George so he's a crazy lefty. (Never mind that he spends almost as much time picking on the left. Not as much, but they're not in charge, there simply aren't as many opportunities.)

Lastly, a sight to debate politics is not as likely to attract moderates as it is to attract people who've got a horse in the race. Moderates will come here, but not as likely to make attention grabing posts. Rather they may poke and prod at a subject to get as much information as they can, almost allowing them to go unnoticed.

He was/is very conservative on all kinds of issues. He likes to present himself as being centrist, but when challenged or pressured he reverts to conservative traditional values. He is not a neocon, but he is definately right of centre in his actual beliefs.

Best Moderate suggestions: Niccolo Medici, Knootoss, White Hats, Demipublicents, Sinahue? (This last one is a little difficult to place)

That's what I'm talking about. Do people in British Columbia fly when they're high? I don't think so! (Well, maybe they think they're flying, I wouldn't know ;) )


The problem is, it's only his stash, no one else gets to smoke it.

But he flies, dude! And he's stupid enough to give out toys for free, instead of selling them on eBay. ;)

Pff. If he ain't gonna kick down them I'm not worrying about being naughty or nice...

I'll give this to Portland-while we where having this back and forth I flipped to PBS and History's Detectives was trying to verify if this chick's dad really did get Bird's* sax from a pawn shop in Portland. They concluded that in fact he did.

That's too subjective. For instance, I am more extreme than Potaria, (Potaria isn't a revolutionary) despite his higher to the left score.

Dude, he and his reindeer fucking fly! Their weed is so good they defy physics! Plus, Santa is always laughing, jolly, and he has a great time making the whole world a better place.

Santa must have awesome weed.

The whole "flying reindeer" thing comes from the fact that Siberian reindeer are known to dig up and eat Fly Agaric mushrooms which have a extremely potent hallucinogenic effect (though the effect varies based on the maturity, temperature, ageing, etc, of the mushroom.) This is also the mushroom that is thought to be responsible for the Norse Berserkers and everything that entails. :D

Cool, but Santa sure as hell smokes.

BTW, what's your opinion on the NSer with the best perspective?

Pot sometimes does that to a thread. I just wish it wasn't this one

But anyhow, opinions! Who actually admits they are wrong? Who accepts the other side's arguments if they are good? Who abstains from petty name-calling and insults?

Alright, it looks as though so far:

Whispering Legs is so far the conservative with the best sense of perspective

Eutrusca is the best moderate, though disputes regarding whether or not he is actually moderate are putting Niccolo Medici into a close second

Best liberal is still being contended

Best libertarian is Swimmingpool

Best Rightist/Nazi is VoteEarly

Best Leftist is The Cat-Tribe

Keep voting! Remember, voting is on the merits of best sense of perspective. That means most honest with themselves, most likely to admit fault, most likely to admit that certain political leaders do something right at least, and most likely to affirm the logic of an opposing ideological member.

I have to put in my extreme objection to two of the people on the list.

Eutrusca - Is NOT a moderate. He flames people a lot. You might want to say he's a conservative, but there is nothing moderate about him and as for being grounded, grounded people don't get tons of warnings and 2 forum bans. So, I think he should really not be considered.

Corneliu - Not grounded at all. Seems to have a good grasp of some history, but he is often wrong and will refuse to admit it. He also flames people quite a bit. I just don't think he should be up there for the simple fact that his information is often wrong and he does flame people.

Ok, that's my $0.02.

Same names always show up on these kinds of threads, these kinds of threads are always mainly about popularity, these kinds of threads are always tiresome displays of mutual brown nosing that serve no end purpose but to bolster the egoes of the local forum demagogues. And trust me they don't need bolstering.

But you haven't seen my sunglasses!

EDIT: SF>Portland. Sorry buddy.


You are soooo wrong about that, my friend. I got to this post as I was reading the thread, and I had to respond. Let me tell you, I've lived in bothe SF and Portland (though I live in Friday Harbor WA now). Portland and SF are a lot alike in many ways, but with the biggest differance being that Portland is cheaper to live in, and has the best bars on Earth, thanks to the McMeneman brothers.

As for my votes. I haven't been around long enough to really get a sense of most of the players, but I would have to agree with the earlier mentions of Neo-Rogolia and Corneliu. The others not not so sure of.

Edit: Goddamnit! I hate it when I don't catch my own typos! Sorry for the bad english. If you know proper punctuation and spelling, you know what I'm talking about... Capitolization, however, I give a pass on... most of the time

Sorry, but I think Corneliu's a little loopy. The most sensible and coherent conservative has got to be Whispering Legs.
And Cat-Tribe is the god of the left.

I don't know man, I've smoked Oregon pot and I've smoked NorCal pot-they're both pretty good, but the best of the best is still the NorCal weed.
damn yous all with your choices... round here you generally just get "weed" of any sort, from anywhere (bit of a gamble really) unless you know a really good dealer or can grow your own/buy homegrown


ah well... Amsterdam in a week! :D :D



anyways my choices

Best Conservative: Whispering Legs
Best Moderate: Eutrusca (has to be in here somewhere, "moderate" or not)
Best Liberal: Alien Born (depending on your definition of "liberal"... hey, this is subjective after all ;))
Best Libertarian: Swimmingpool
Best Nazi: pass
Best Leftist: Ariddia

I agree on Whispering Legs. Always prepared and well informed.

As far as the left- I dont know. I cant keep track of all of them. I do agree that Cat-Tribe is both knowledgable and well prepared when he makes a statement. I dont always agree with his stance on issues, but he does come prepared, so I never dismiss him. He has enlightened me on a few issues.
Many of the rest are too hysterical for me to pay any attention to.
So yeah-Cat-Tribe for the Left.
