Let's face it, most Americans hate freedom | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 792087 11/05/2011 06:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Liberals want to ban guns, ban homeschooling, force vaccines on people, want to restrict free speech when it's about religion or talking about any issue they disagree with... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4699040 ``Conservatives`` want to ban homosexuals, want to ban gay marriage, want to ban drugs, want to put people in jail for things that shouldn't be crimes, want to restrict free speech when it's about religion, want to ban abortion, etc... Then there's people in the middle, libertarians, who want to leave anyone do what the fuck they want to the limits of reasons. Libertarians, like me, are almost alone in this world. Fascists on both sides of the isle trying to restrict freedom. potato! |

For example if you have freedom of religion and one religion's dogma is to dominate and enslave non-members of their religion then this freedom is the cause of slavery for many. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1552817 Think about it. Except nobody is gonna fucking join that. And if they start killing people, the army is gonna mow them down. |

We don't want to ban homosexuality, we just don't want the government to teach it as normal to our children. We do want to preserve traditional marriage. But if you want to have some sort of commitment ceremony, as long as you don't demand to me recognized by the state, then have at it. And yes, we want to protect the lives of everyone, including the unborn. I personally don't care what drugs you use, but some conservatives and some liberals do. If you look at where all the drug and alcohol laws originated from, it's the liberals and not conservatives. What are the things that we want to lock you up for that should be legal????? To some up conservatism. Leave me alone, and don't hurt anyone, and you and I will get along fine. |
