They used to be called conservatives, and there were actually some in the Republican party. Not so much these days.folks that don't want any gvt regulation are called Libertarians. They don't like Trump
Nope. You have some really weird ideas.Exactly. Regulation is only bad when the other guy does it.
Nope. They've always been called Libertarians. They actually have their own political party, in case you didn't know.They used to be called conservatives, and there were actually some in the Republican party. Not so much these days.
Nope. There used to be many Republicans who supported limited government, who saw the dangers of "free shit" and ham-handed government regulation - even if it benefited them personally in some way.

Well, there are regs and then there are regs. All Americans working together achieved clean air and water by simply setting limits of commercial pollution, and letting industryies bid to buy the right to pollute. Stuff like that, and catalytic converters, proved popular and effective. No one could honestly say "it didn't help overall." Even conservatives if they were honest had to admit it.They used to be called conservatives, and there were actually some in the Republican party. Not so much these days.
I think he's obnoxious and crass.
You find paying for IVF treatments intolerable?

I support that.Nope. There used to be many Republicans who supported limited government,
Some free shit is bad, some is good. You have a very black and white view of lifewho saw the dangers of "free shit" and ham-handed government regulation - even if it benefited them personally in some way. That's what distinguished them from Democrats. Used to be.
Yes. The word "regulation" is constantly equivocated on. When libertarians oppose regulation, liberals love to accuse them of being against all laws. But we have no problem with laws that actual punish wrong-doers. Laws that hold people or corporations accountable when they pollute the environment are fine and proper. But laws that tell them they have to use solar energy supplied by approved government vendors or other kinds of government "management", are wrong. That's what we refer to as "regulation" - laws that mandate conformity for convenience sake (always the convenience of some at the expense of others).Well, there are regs and then there are regs.

Sure. Like stop signs at intersections. Nominally, a hardcore libertarian might argue that's a violation of our rights. But there's an obvious, widely supported benefit to all of us agreeing to stop at stop signs. Far too many of the regulations we impose via the state aren't widely supported. Regulations mandating conformity when it's simply not necessary. ACA for example.Imo, Americans will accept regulation even if it hinders their freedom IF everyone gets treated the same, and there's some obvious overriding benefit
Well, it depends on why you oppose "free shit". I oppose it because it's not the purpose of government and invariably violates equal protection. It promotes dependency and the notion that government is there to take care of us. It exists primarily because Congress wants more power to extract money from lobbyists. (eg you can bet the IVF companies will be adamant champions, and aggressive lobbyists, for Trump's IVF requirement.)I support that.

Nope. It was meant to be a caustic insult. How'd it go?

Today's Republicans don't oppose "free shit" on principle. They just want different free shit than the Democrats.
You find communism acceptable?
Uh... no they don't. If you read my posts, you'd know that. Not that you're under any obligation to read my posts, but I oppose this kind of crap across the board.I love you 'middle of the road' people, you're no better than what you accuse others of. So, since R's are supposed to be about freedom and less government, they get taken to task if they support something that goes against those principles, but D's can support that shit all day, every day and they get a pass from you guys because that's what they're supposedly about.
I can only suggest that you're not paying attention.Again, where's your ridicule for the D supporters? I only ever see it for the Trump supporters.
