Something that people like Ann Coulter and other neoconservatives misrepresent. The Green and Libertarian parties both embrace the philosophy of liberalism.
Liberalism has nothing to do with economy. It is completely independent of capitalism or any other economic system. Liberalism is a strictly social philosophy.
It is the opposite of authoritarianism.
It is also NOT the opposite of conservatism.
Under liberalism, the government has little role in regulating social affairs. Under liberalism, the government exists to protect liberties, not take them away.

"Liberalism is a political current embracing several historical and present-day ideologies that claim defense of individual liberty as the purpose of government. It typically favors the right to dissent from orthodox tenets or established authorities in political or religious matters. In this respect, it is sometimes held in contrast to conservatism. Since liberalism also focuses on the ability of individuals to structure a society, it is almost always opposed to totalitarianism, and often to collectivist ideologies, particularly communism." - Wikipedia.com
The Bill of Rights is a product of liberalism.

An alternate spelling of all right.
Although sometimes considered improper English, it is a completely logical contraction. The words altogether and already are similar contractions that are widely accepted.

Alright isn't a word for retards. It'll be a real English word in dictionaries a few years down the road.
People that criticize the use of the word "alright" are probably guilty of scores of grammatical errors anyway, like everyone who speaks the English language.

Green Party presidential candidate for 2004, ran with Pat LaMarche.
Was arrested for attempting to enter a presidential debate (which he, along with Ralph Nader and Michael Badnarik were excluded) run by the CPD. Michael Badnarik was arrested for doing the same moments later.
A respectable man with close ties to Michael Badnarik. They share similar and differing beliefs. They held numerous debates with each other, each of them containing less attacking and more debating than the CPD-sponsored presidential debates. Also worked with Badnarik in the 2004 Ohio recount.

Libertarian presidential candidate for 2004.
Probably the best and most respectable Libertarian candidate yet.
Worked with David Cobb throughout the election for the fight to get third party candidates into the CPD-sponsored presidential debates. Was arrested with Cobb for attempting to enter one.

An awesome browser that has features that IE neglected. Popup blocking, tabbed browsing, keyword searching... extentions let you do mouse gestures and a lot more.
Oh, did I mention, it's faster too. And it's only 14 MB.

People come to me with their computer problems, saying that IE stopped working. I send them the Firefox as a solution, and later, they always thank me for it.

Because extreme sports punks have so little personality, they don't even deserve proper naming.
