After spending a long day protesting in New York City, I thought that I would share my experiences with fellow FREepers who unfortunately could not be there. I was thrilled with the turn out, and I was equally appalled with some of the comments I received from people when I was walking around with my Benedict Kerry sign. One woman told me how stupid my sign was and how stupid I was to carry it. Why am I stupid...because you don't want to face the facts that your precious John Kerry is a liar and a traitor? I had another man follow me around and tell me that Kerry did nothing wrong, because he was protesting America's police state...where do people come up with these things. I also had two young men try to taunt me, asking "What, you would rather vote for Bush"...which I promptly answered "Damn Right!" What amazes me is when they disagree with my message, they have to be so nasty about it.
Oh, and for those of you who want to know what I did...I smiled at them and laughed! I was not about to stoop down to their level, and when I tried to reason with Mr. Police State, he argued with me and told me that I was wrong..even though I had the facts to back up my sign.
Gotta love people!
Nasty John the Waffling French Undertaker, who is behind the atatacks on GWB's 9/11 ad, per both NewsMax & the American Spectator.
Kerry, who is personally endorsed by Yasser Arafat, Haiti's Aristide, Iran's Mullahs, Traitor "Red Jane" Fonda, Kim Jong Il, (& Kim Il Jong), Mugabe, Marxist thug Chavez of Venezuela, Castro of Cuba, & France's Jacques Chirac, is a weapon of mass economic destruction.
He'll destroy the troops in Iraq, the War on Terrorism,
& the U.S. stock market with all his negative talk and whiny-leftist-liberal sour-puss troop-bashing, Bush-bashing, America-bashing talk & self-aggrandizing, ultra-negative sourpuss whiny elitist personality.
The Republican Party can nominate anyone they want. I was just pointing out that they talk the talk of conservative but walk the walk of liberal candidates. They deserve to lose the vote of the real conservatives of the nation. And where might those conservatives go-they really have no better alternative than the Libertarians. The Constitution Party is close but to split the third party vote is pretty foolish, isn't it. The Libertarians have a much better organized structure, a significant ballot access base and a really exciting freedom loving platform.
LOL! License isn't freedom. Degeneracy isn't freedom. It's destructive behavior and it leads to enslavement.
3. Attack you personally (name calling, false accusations)
4. Manipulate the conversation so that you are no longer discussing the actual ISSUE
Spoken like someone who doesn't know what freedom means. What is your definition of degeneracy? Does it refer to religious beliefs? If it does, it does not belong as a reference for the criminal law.
Our standard is the non-initiation of force. Freedom is the right to do anything you think is right so long as you do not harm others. Any other definition makes you my superior who enforces your superior opinion with the guns of government. That is not freedom.
You probably believe the nonsense that "drug use is a victimless crime."
Degeneracy does harm yourself and others, because the people who live that way expect others to pick up the pieces when they finally fall apart.
Drug use is victemless activity and should not be a crime at all. On the other hand, the Drug War (and all the related evil laws) is a crime. It has loads of victims and does unbelievable damage. The cost of the Drug War is in excess of $150 billion/year, mostly the lost productivity of all those people in jail who are prevented from working and supporting themselves and their families. There is no dollar rating for the suffering of sick people who cannot get adequate pain killers because their doctors fear arrest. On the other hand, the world's terrorists love the drug war. They make a fortune from it.
Study the matter with an open mind and you cannot help but conclude that the drug war is pure insanity.
Drugs are not a victimless crime. Anyone who thinks so has blinders on.
