NEWS: 2nd, 3rd Anime Political Ads of This Year's Elections Posted

As I said before, when people went apeshit(both right and left) when Bush said he wanted a liberal democracy in Iraq, these are people who have likely never opened a history book. It wasn't ironic, it was completely appropriate, made sense, and valid goal set forth that both parties (from an American perspective) should have cheered.

Anyway, as I was saying it is not ironic in the least that the LDP happens to be a party of conservative leanings since the two are not mutually exclusive (a liberal democratic structure does not clash with a conservative ideology).

For an interesting international view, I like that Political Compass website and viewpoint. They have left and right only one axis of the political spectrum. Not sure if they list Japanese parties or if it's mostly Europe and the US.

Because of American thought background and unfamiliar queries for Japanese,
when Japanese test it, there are a tendency to get "Left Libertarian" result.

And I wonder if it's "coincidence" that the white, american-accented customer asks for "more abura" (note "abura" can mean both "oil" or "fat") ...not that I could vote.

You have to admit that it's somewhat justified, though.
