You agreed with the original poster, so I thought you would buy some more stupid crap.

Statists are communists, socialists and totalitarians, so you and the original poster think this board is full of communists, socialists and totalitarians? It did blow my mind that you would think that Freepers could be statists, so I took it one step further for you.

I have been on this board a long time because it is a conservative board with good conservative people that I can discuss issues and candidates with without being insulted and maligned. I have respect for a lot of the Libertarians on this board, but I draw the line when one would call us phony conservatives.

Who said only, "Prohibitionists arriving in 5-4-3-2-1..."

Statists are communists, socialists and totalitarians

That's not an exhaustive list - and I said "moral-statist," which is not coterminous with "statist."

I draw the line when one would call us phony conservatives.

IMO anyone who is so kowtowing toward government as to post "Laws don’t get passed until problems arise" is a statist and no true conservative.

And speaking of lines, I draw one at "libertarians of today don’t believe in personal responsibility."
