If you actually believed that we would not be having this conversation. The conservative version of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is almost entirely self-centered and involves some very definite lines that must not be crossed. Time and again we have seen republicans try to set those boundaries in law and make the individual rights of others illegal.If you care so much about individual rights why do you hate it so much when someone is not conforming to your idea of what is acceptable? Gays, feminists, people of other faiths, races and nationalities very much know the price of non-conformity. When did you ever step outside the lines and feel the consequences of pissing off the First Baptist Church crowd?You're a pretentious hack that attacks people for disagreeing with you rather than ever discussing anything in an honest way. If you truly respected individualism you would actually be interested in other individuals and how they do their version of distinguishing themselves from the herd.I've forgotten more about respect than you'll ever know- in fact, I have, in this forum, been on a podium/soap box about it numerous times- I know what respect is, and how it works and where it comes from- IF you really want to get into an argument with me about it, get a flashlight and bring some food- you will need it-You are so much like a million other people It's almost like they make you in some factory from the same set of molds. To truly respect individualism you have to respect it even when someone is not exactly like you are.
If you care so much about "individual rights", why then do you support the same people and the same policies that have caused the staggering death tolls that exist in black communities for 50+ years?
Conservatives believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Accordingly, I support people living their life as they like.
