Top posting is a sin, Alan.

In the real universe (which you have yet to discover),
ORing the NOTs of two mutually exclusive sets (DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS) 
results in an ALWAYS TRUE evaluation.

If that is what you intended, why didn't you just write:

  if (1) {. . . }

or forgo the 'if' and just put the

  ignore_libertarians();

Cheers,
Larry G.
