do republican “individual freedoms” extend anywhere beyond guns and paying less taxes?
i can see how paying less taxes leads to more individual economic freedom. but does that really justify using the phrase to represent their party?
i mean, if we actually enforced conservative policies — no abortion, no gay marriage, no marijuana, internet censorship, etc — it would involve more government intrusion than liberal ones. yes, libs support gun control, but no liberal seriously advocates a total gun ban; meanwhile, conservatives generally try to eliminate most non-christian behavior they don’t approve of — even ones that take place in the privacy of our homes.
economic freedom is important, but the first amendment and freedom from imposed will is at least as important.
i understand their other buzzword: “personal responsibility.” that one makes sense. but can we just drop the we-support-personal-freedoms claim?
hey, i’m just quoting conservapedia.
i’ve always wondered why there aren’t more libertarians. it always seemed like a good idea to me.
We believe in a states power over Obama’s joke of opinion!
youre looking for the libertarian party if you want the party of personal responsibility and freedom.
Is that the GOP’s slogan? Thats ridiculous. You are correct that the Republican party focuses on giving economic freedom (supposedly) but is extremely restrictive as far as personal freedoms. The Democratic party is the opposite, allowing personal freedom, but desiring to control the economy. They are both utterly wrong. The Libertarian party takes the best parts of each, advocating personal AND economic freedom.
Interesting! So lets get this straight Socialists aka; democrats promote aristocrats to profit from decapitated fetuses, promote social anal fornication, drug induced melancholia, and pedophilia (NAMBLA) on the media waves is better than guns and less taxes?
Then you wish to promote National Socialism by following left wing socialists like Hitler/Mussolini/Lenin/Mao Tse Tung which prevents personal protection using guns and promotes burning Jews/Christians/homosexuals/and gypsies in the ovens, restricts property acreage to grow food, tells you who to marry and how many children you can have?
The Constitution of the United States was platformed upon the Holy Bible Of Christianity which allows freedom of Religion such as Christianity, Jewish, Earth, Secularism aka; atheism, Hinduism.
Ascribing to left wing supremacists restricts all freedoms which allowed America to grow and allowed even socialists to run in the House & Senate. But even they must abide by the Constitution which protects everyone’s freedom.
Don’t fall victim to the socialist/democrat propaganda bastardizing the Founding Fathers of this Great Country.
Republicans want smaller government over all that alone says we wish to have more individual freedoms & more personal responsibility than Democrats. The Democrats wants to impose their laws & thinking to insure safety. All their good intentions come at a cost to our freedom.
