See this is where it gets confusing, because both sides claim they are following civil liberties, and both parties believe it. But the truth is that both parties are constantly breaking the constitution, but each side believes that only the other is.
I'm not going to dispute that, which is why I'm a Libertarian.
Our Bill of Rights is not a living document. Our emotions which inspire change may be, however our Bill of Rights is etched in stone.
I believe we need to leave our "wants" or "emotions" at the door and respect our civil rights.
We cant bend them or abolish them because we want X, Y, Z etc..
We have the Bill of rights to prevent ideas like that from becoming rule....
Sorry did not realize you were a Libertarian. I have a ton of respect for libertarians on their principals of freedoms. I was thinking you were a republican, who I do not respect on those lines. All in all on the concept of freedoms (in my opinion) libertarians are the closest to getting it right.
edit: I should say, by FAR the closest to getting it right.
Most republicans are aligned with libertarian views (at least where I'm from)...
Democrats are more a threat to freedom.
Some republicans can be tyrannical asshats tho.
