New-school Politics

It isn't a new thing to conjecture what the new-school is all about. Everyday I read the paper I find some ominous idea replete in this new school. There is either a reinvention of what we call a semblance of hope or some contrived plan to maintain the status quo. I know that I said I was going to maintain this group discussion for religious ideas, specifically a reformed ideal, but let's get real--Reformed ideas stem into the political realm. Though I don't agree with Roussau completely (that man is the noble savage), he is right that man is a political animal. Okay, maybe not the animal part, but he is right that we are politically inclined to think in like manner. I've recently joined the Libertarian Party for reason only I can explain for myself; however I am inclined to say that we (LPs) are motivated by liberty and freedom. Notwithstanding my reasons, there is a blog in which the writer, Bob Barr, the nominee for President in the Libertarian Party, expresses his irritation with the new bailouts of Wall Street, explicating them as egregious and presumptious. Here is the article. If you are as irritated as I am, please respond.
