Yeah, the Saturday photo was taken after he had gotten the opportunity to bathe in the blood of newborn Christian children to restore his youth and vigor.  Oprah gave him the idea - it's done wonders for her.

It's called closed captioning dim wit.

Ummm...  Chuck....  There's an edit button available that allows you to eliminate spelling errors and jackass comments.

If this wasn't a political rally, then why did teh jumbotron tell the crowd to applaud?

Because it was closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.

Or is it perhaps a standard prompt put into most politicians' (end entertainers) speeches to suggest that the audience will applaud at this point and the speaker should pause to wait for the applause to finish?

Can you all possibly have overlooked this? Or is it just that High Street is the haunt of Libertarians? (who, after all, are just uncommitted republicans)

Depends on your definition of libertarian.  The word has become so watered down that just about anyone can claim to be a libertarian these days.  The most adamant communist can be called a food libertarian because they want to choose what they have for lunch.

Ha!  Maybe that might be technically true, but we've all faced "libertarians" every day.  They're conservatives that are allergic to the word, just the same as the way "progressive" is the refuge of liberals who are ashamed to state that as their political leaning.

Libertarian was originally and still is defined by it's communard/leftist origins.  The right wing versions didn't show up until nearly 50 or more years after the original form.  Fact.  The right stole it via that slut Ayn Rand.

Oh, that's not fair, Ayn Rand enjoys having her female protagonists be raped by strong male leads.  Therefore they aren't sluts.  They're willing, jubilant victims!

You can be a "small 'L' libertarian" or a "big 'L' Libertarian". "Small L" folks tend to believe the same as "Large L" folks but don't agree on the methods employed to foster change. "L"ibertarians look to themselves as an alternate political party but with much the same organizational style as the other political parties. "l"ibertarians reject the concept of a political party as being too oppressive to the free will of the individual. Unfortunately the generally relegates them to the job of running in circles with their hair on fire and being ignored as irrelevant.

I like to think of myself as a libertarian, but mostly because I am a peg that doesn't fit in either the round or square hole. "Fiscally conservative and socially liberal" would describe a lot of my brethren.

The teabaggers are what used to be known as Birchers back in the day. And as much as I'd like to make hay about it, low IQ just doesn't enter into the equation except as a constant. And Gray, I don't mind being called a Libertarian, but Republican is right out. I agree with much of what Libertarians say except that I see a great deal of good coming from public ownership of land.

Public ownership of land as the only function of government? Sounds more Republican than anything to me.

I've been highly amused over the last year or so with the "sky is falling" hysteria over so-called "socialised medicine". I assume those opponents would regard Britain, Australia, Canada et al to be failed societies? Somehow lacking that pure adventurous spirit of the US? Where the poor don't have to live in cardboard boxes, where being sick doesn't cost you your house, where the promotion of health care doesn't make you a Communist Nazi?

I can see how sadly lacking we are in comparison to that bastion of freedom, the United States. You, after all, are free to carry guns and kill each other, free to watch 999 channels of porn, free to die without a doctor interfering, free to roam alleyways looking for food if you lose your job, free to bang on relentlessly about God and Jesus and the Constitution without paying any heed to the real messages originating with any of them. I think dear old Ronnie Reagan started something when he said that government wasn't the solution, it was the problem. You do realise he was insane? Maybe you should stop following his advice.

Hey now, give him a break.  His government gets to pick and choose what porn he's allowed to watch.  Clearly he needs another outlet, and we should be happy to provide it to him.
