Seems to me that the basic premise of American conservatism is to KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF ISSUES THAT AREN'T THEIR BUSINESS.
If that is the case then one cannot possible be a real American conservative if one wants to grant the government the right to decide what a woman does with her own womb.
I look at the conservative team and the liberal team and I don't see either as being truly conservative or liberal, folks.
I see them as nothing more than opposing teams vieing for power who had taken sides on current issues which are often entirely inconsistent with what they CLAIM to stand for.
The right to control one's own body is about as CONSERVATIVE a principle as one can find.
Yet the so-called, self proclaiming conservatives mostly do NOT support that principle, either in the abortion issue OR the drug issue OR in the homosexuality issue.
You guys aren't conservatives, you are merely people who want to control people according to you own value systems.
That's not American conservatism, that's merely authoritarianism by another name.
And YES, the so called liberals are likely mostly merely AUTHORITARIANS, only their transgressions are typicall against personal freedom on a slightly different set of issues.
They likewise think that they have the right to tell people what to do with their bodies, their land, their money, and these so called liberals also like to think they have the right to tell people what to to THINK, too.
A pox on both these houses filled with lying hypocrites who do not stand for what they claim to stand for.
And a pox on you clueless partisans who are either so stupid, or so decietful that you support these anti-American authoritarian criminals.
This is why I am not already a revolutionary, ya' know.
There aren't enough people in this land who really understand what freedom really means (in a civil society) to make a revolution worth my time.
If the far right took over we'd live in a right wing version of hell and if the left took over we'd have a left wing version of hell.
But mark my words, none of us would like the outcome regardless of which set of idiots took over.
I clearly need to start my own nation.
I need one no less that Willian Joyce needs one, or no less Agna needs one, only mine wouldn't look remotely like either of theirs.
Where is Teddy Roosevelt when we really need him?
