i want the government to leave me the fuck alone.
Don't you mean until you need it to do something for YOU? If not, then go here:
Private Island Bahamas, Islands for Sale
no, i mean period. Why is it so hard to comprehend that some people on this planet are capable of taking care of themselves without some looming big brother to "do something" for them? Government's job in a free society is to safeguard the boarders from foreign invaders and make sure that no one impedes on anyone else's liberty. THAT IS ALL. Anyone who expects more than that out of government should be ashamed to call themselves American.
I look at this constant mischaracterization of "liberty" this way: My own "liberty" has been threatened by the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the United States, which had the effect of expanding the effectiveness of al-Qaeda a thousand-fold. Just because you need to pay taxes on certain things that benefit others and not you, personally, is about as UNAmerican as anything and is NOT the kind of attitude the framers of the Constitution had in mind. The fact that that war will cost trillions in the long run doesn't seem to affect you at all, I'm guessing. But Heaven Forbid all Americans should have a little more assurance that they can stay healthy in this the LAND OF THE FREE is worthy of massive protesting. Gotcha.
