1. the liberty to discriminate against gays, people of color, religions other than Christian, for example.
Hmm. Okay.
Examples?
2. If you don't know who the less fortunate in our society are, you are one of the mentally less fortunate in our society.
The people who qualify for government assistance that conservatives oppose, that's who.
Remember how I just said my posts serve unique purposes? Well my previous post just got you to revert to another emotional argument. Oh, and let's not forget the insult there at the end.
I am far from "mentally less fortunate". For me to reasonably handle acute bi-polar disorder with borderline suicidal bouts of depression shows just how mentally superior to you I am.
Your argument rests on the fact that conservatives like me are heartless because they don't want people to rely on government assistance forever. That's not an honest argument, it's an emotional one. Liberals like you on this board are often making fun of my lack of employment, but are also encouraging me to rely on a method of income that will discourage me from ever becoming self reliant in the future. You fail to realize that government assistance is a temporary measure, not a permanent one. When someone challenges that idea that it should be permanent, you accuse them of preying on the less fortunate. When conservatives want to encourage them to be self reliant, you accuse them of preying on the less fortunate.
Seriously. This little essay shouldn't have been necessary to explain how flawed your reasoning is.
3. Dictating values on abortion, sexual orientation, religion, for example.
Oh, you mean like the PC culture on college campuses pervading the rest of American society?
