Why do so few get this, especially on FR as supposedly “conservative” website?

I mean the market economy free of government interference is fundamental freedom in action. Aren’t “conservatives” supposed to be for limited constitutional government and individual freedom?

Here on FR, so many defend government interference and decry freedom. I don’t get it. It certainly is not a good sign for the rest of our country if a “conservative” site is like this. Our country needs a re-education on what freedom from government is really all about and why it should be defended at all costs. Lord, help us.

Because they don’t want to “get it”. They are thinking emotionally, like liberals do. That’s why logic doesn’t seem to penetrate. You can’t argue logically with someone who is clinging to a notion because it pleases them emotionally.

Ridicule is just about the only thing I know of that can counteract that. You have to fight emotions with stronger emotions.
