You make yourself the issue when you espouse libertarian ideals and you characterize them as "my conservative values." This is ostensibly a conservative website, and I won't have you perverting it.

I espouse no libertarian ideals. My values include an appreciation for what the Republican Party was created for...freedom. My values include a total commitment to the Bill of Rights, which was ratified to protect the minority, not the majority. It's provisions should not be the playground of those who can't stomach the actual exercise of those freedoms if that exercise contradicts certain values. The freedom of speech is no one's personal political toy, to be tossed about at will whenever an election year comes about. It is far too sacred for that. When we start deciding that the freedom of speech must be curtailed if it does not please the majority, then it no longer exists.

So you needn't talk to me about perverting anything. Any curtailing of our God-given rights is a complete perversion of what our great Constitution stands for.
