It also happens to be my viewpoint.
There's lies, and there's damn lies, and your slander is a damn lie...
You clearly stated that you wouldn't personally condone animal torture, but a man can choose to do as he wishes with his property.
Hence, the Anarchist Ayn Randian sliver of "Conservatism" that is fine with watching Western Civilization burn as long as everybody is free to do as they choose.
You are perfectly willing to live in a neighborhood of savages, surrounded by the screams and wails of dogs and cats.
You're not personally participating in the torture, and you disagree with how those people choose to use their property, but those people are doing nothing wrong.
You're certainly not taking a moral stance against animal torture, simply a use of property stance. You disagree with how an animal torturer chooses to use his property, but you're certainly not willing to do anything about it.
That's American freedom! It should be celebrated!
I've watched you people for years. It's a very bleak and dystopian viewpoint.
Take a dump in the street? Fine, a person is free to do as he chooses.
Marry and breed with your daughter? Fine, a person is free to do as he chooses.
Torture the family dog? Fine, a person is free to do as he chooses.
Sure, that's all "freedom" and "liberty" but you weirdos ALWAYS ignore culture and morality. Right and wrong. Good and evil.
And that's why nobody takes you people seriously any more.
