What a foolish statement.
I have a friend who is a die-hard Republican. He has a special needs child. He’s all for ADA, government subsidies he recieves (because he deserves them) and government control of almost everything HE decides, according to his Calvinist doctrines, are “sinful.”
There is no difference between that kind of “conservative” and liberal, except in what they want to control.
Call me a conservative, libertarian, liberaltarian, or any other label, I believe in the America of Roger Williams, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and many other founders of the United States.
If a belief that a man by his very nature is free to make mistakes that injure himself alone and that he has the responsibility of caring for himself and accounting for those mistakes makes me an “amoral, treacherous crypto Dem,” then so be it. If this be so, then our nation was founded on amoral and treacherous principles and your views would be better served in Europe where top-down, big government control of individuals came from.
Scratch a libertarian, and you find someone who wants no restrictions whatsoever on porn, dope and very, very creepy sex. That was not what our Founders had in mind, and not the kind of worldview that.I want anywhere near me - even tbough.I live in NYC and am far from being a prude.
