Movie Theaters don't kill people...

I align myself with personal freedom and individual responsibility. I align myself with those who would limit the role of government to protecting individuals from having their life, liberty or property taken from them by force or fraud. I align myself with those that believe the rights of the individual are supreme, and so long as my activities do not interfere with others exercising the rights, I should be allowed to do whatever the hell I want. I don't believe in forced taxation, which is theft. I don't think the government needs to know where I live, what I do or how much I make, so long as I make it honestly, and not engaged in cheating or unfair market manipulation. I believe in helping those less fortunate than me, but I want to determine who will be the beneficiary of my charity, and how much. I will not give aid and encouragement to our enemies, foreign or domestic. That includes corrupt politicians from any party. I would not support foreign aid to any country, least of those who oppose U.S. Internationally.

Call me what you want, but this is freedom. This is what made us great. This is what we are losing, and why we are spiraling toward tyranny. Greece fell, Rome fell, we will fall, unless we change quickly and dramatically. We won't. We are toast. And when all is said and done, the cronyists are going to toss you aside, just as quickly as they will me. You're a useful idiot. They don't care about you. They don't respect you, and once the full extent of their control is revealed, you will receive no benefit for your mindless support. Your just a pawn, as am I, and everyone else on this board.


Our government was never designed to make sure people had enough, or to make our lives easier. It was designed to keep us free. The first duty of government is not to keep us safe. It is to keep us free.


Government has failed because we have failed. We believed the lies. We voted for corruption. We condone, and reward dishonesty. We allow the corporations and banks decide our candidates. We have no choice. Nothing changes. McCain would have passed the same health care bill. It was going to pass regardless. If McCain had passed it, the Democrats would be pretending to try to repeal it, and meet with no success. It was coming regardless who won.


What do Dems and Reps always agree on? Police state expansion, the Patriot Act, the NDAA, and other bills restricting freedom. Their phony arguments are on irrelevant issues, to keep us from paying attention to what's really going on. And the state controlled media follow suit, and yes, that includes FOX. FOX only serves to give the illusion of disagreement, but they are as phony as the others.


What needs to happen, won't happen. The elitists have too much control. The people are effectively distracted.


We are entering a very dark period. My heart breaks for my grandchildren. I'll be gone when the worst hits. Focus on the important. Love your kids. And grandkids. Give them a base of love and courage, and self worth. Those are the tools they need to survive. That's my mission for my remaining years. That, and pissing off WPF occasionally. I need to have fun, too! Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Why are there so many similarities between you and JLIdiot?

Hmmmm! Could it be that you two Idiots are actually, one and the same Idiot?

JL was a wannabee Lawyer then.

JL is a wannabe Baker now.

Busted!

The Constitution provides for a court system. States can provide for a police force, and courts. Nothing anti-Libertarian about that. It's just that freedom and individual rights are supreme. LE are servants of the people, not enforcers for government.


You are an idiot.

Wholly chit, Whiny!

I'm not willing to give my life for your freedom to carry a gun into a movie theater.

And that's my right under the fucking constitution, too.

That's not a realistic proposition. And in your comment we find a microcosm of what's wrong with most libertarian policies. They just aren't realistic. You have to deal with this on the level of real life, with real people. They aren't chess pieces to be moved around, with no thought to how it will affect their lives. They have jobs, they help their communities, they have families, etc. And I don't want to here about the reverse and how mexico would treat immigrants. We aren't mexico. I thought we were supposed to be the shining example for the world? What happened to that shit? I guess we only shine when it's convenient. Other than that, we're no better than anyone else.

It just so happens that men have over stepped the law in order to afford us added security at the expense of our liberties and that is against the law.

Pay attention. You have a comprehension problem.


At least in the service you learned how to clean latrines. Must be nice for your customers to have a tidy glory hole.

You're hopeless. Anyone who doesn't agree with you is an idiot. Not everyone, but you are. Freedom without safety is pointless. Ask Benjamin Franklin. How you don't get that is beyond me. If you're not safe, you're not really free. Are you? If you are completely safe, you are not free at all. My entire point is that while you might be right in some of your argument, you're never going to see it. I never will, because it's stupid. You want the government to keep you safe. Fine. I want the government to keep me free. Better. Ever. Originally Posted by WombRaider
