You've got it wrong on the freedom thing. The republicans speak of less government and many think that means have them stay out of your business. That's not true. The Republicans are all about the family values. Well wonderful, so am I. But the Republicans try to impose their values upon others. They are less government for business unless they don't like your business, which includes adult. It's not just GWB, it was under either Regan or Bush number 1 that the foundation for 2257 was laid. I've wondered for years why it was not being enforced. I guess it needed more teeth. And here comes 44 fixing what his dad screwed up again?
I don't think you're alone in this misunderstanding, I've been yelling for years that I'd rather be broke and free than rich and in prison. Of course rich and free is better but until we get the libertarians in power that ain't likely to happen.
I'm a libertarian, I think the government needs to stay out of everything as much as possible. I guess I'm a more realistic libertarian. We need taxes to build roads and others expenses to improve our standard of living that only a government can do. And for defense and kicking ass when we need to. We need to kick ass in Iran but now we are over extended in Iraq and we are tired of war now. But now we have one we need to go fight.
I know, I'll run for president. LOL What, anyone in this nation can be president, right?
