You like it or you wouldn’t be promoting it.
The Ted Kennedy (I’m personally opposed...but) nonsense doesn’t work.
What works is a Constitutional Republic. What doesn't work is creating tyranny (scrapping the rule of law) so everyone is coerced to do what YOU think is right (the rule of man).
Ted Kennedy and the Socialists have never and will never believe in freedom. I'd say in this argument, you're a lot closer to them than I am.
