Politcal Pirate Question

[Captain Leo Blackheart]

Would pirates be republicans, democrats, or independents?

[Captain Gato Bajau]

Anarchists , pirates did not believe in any form of governing authority. But anarchy with the basic belief in the rights of others and being responsible for ones own actions. Anarchy in it's most idealistic form, which seems to exist only in the minds of way too few.

[Captain Leo Blackheart]

good point, Captain

[Captain Blackstrap]

Were not pirates the ones what came up with Libertarian as a political stance?

[Captain Aries Thunderskull]

Actually, they'd be Independants!

[Jamaica Rose]

They're Libertarians. Didn't ya read in Captain Johnson's "General History of the Pirates" about the pirate settlement of Libertalia. That's where the name comes from.

[Captain Aries Thunderskull]

Aye, I did, but thats not to say ALL pirates were settled there, or followed that philosiphy...and Libertarians ain't what they used ta be. In our currert political climate, I still think they'd be Independants, if not revolutionarys!

[Talena]

Pirates mostly likely would be a bit of all. it would depend on the individual pirate in my opinion so everyone is right.

[Captain Max]

A real pirate would only care about which party had the most easily obtainable gold...

[Captain Blackstrap]

So.... republican then....? ^_~

[Captain Max]

I do believe I am describing Democrats. They are the most careless with tax money and will fund anything. They must have a butt load o' coin.

[Captain Gato Bajau]

It's not the Democrats wasting billions of dollars in a dumb war over gas prices to make Bush's family even richer.

[Melena]

It seems to me that a pirate would be a free spirited, adventurous type of person and perhaps even a thief, not one to be bothered with the responsibility of political entanglements. I think of Captain Sparrow and his shifting loyalties which made him adorable if not reliable. What does that say about us, who like to play at being pirates?
