It's interesting to note that I agree with some posters on virtually everything, then they come here and look like loonies on religious/social issues.
I feel the EXACT same way! Then if you call someone out on it (hypocrisy of using the Constitution to serve your exclusive world-view), you are instantly a godless liberal.
I guess the philosophy of liberty and the non-aggression principle are just to impartial to have any value in our hyper-charged and over-emotional political circus diversion.
Oh yeah, if you attempt to use classical logic or any of the cognitive or rhetorical tools of philosophy and reason, you also get called an elitist or arrogant. That's depressing too...After all if you've attended college, you've obviously been programmed with the alternate liberal history.
It's sad but most people are concerned with 'getting theirs' from Uncle Sam, regardless of their political tribal color...Red or Blue are your only choices. The PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT is the real question that gets left in the dust unanswered every time. I think it's because the ONLY EQUITABLE answer to that question is the one that renders both tribes meaningless and powerless.
I am growing ever more pessimistic....
