How do I balance my views of personal liberty with current republican policy
26/01/2026 | godguy687

Posted on 01/26/2026 7:34:25 PM PST by godguy687

I'm losing faith in republicans to be completely honest, I believe in "Liberal Democracy" I mean people should have the freedom to choose and elect what is they system and political alignment that best suits their values and worldview having a goon squad shoot American citizens is nowhere near what my values are I am a conservative, I believe in Person responsibility, governance by consent, limited government control over personal legal enterprise and entrepreneurship

“How do I balance my views of personal liberty with current republican policy”

easy peasy: just dig up a Romney, McCain or Bush scion to vote for; they’d lose of course, so then there wouldn’t be a Republican “policy” for you to fret over ...

either that, or just vote for whatever idiot fascists the Democrats put up for election, and likewise you wouldn’t need to worry about how many of your personal liberties could dance on the head of a republican policy ...

First thing I looked up, too. Need to know morer about who godguy687 is, more than the header tells, to craft a helpful comment:
o Age range

o Education level

o Familiarity with government structure

o How much personal liberty one must give up to gain unity with others understanding and obeying laws

o Difference between a democracy vs a republic vs a kingdom vs a collective vs anarchy

o definition of "conservative" vs "liberal"

o How the above relates to a membeer of, or a supporter of, the Republican Party

I fail to understand why law enforcement officers carrying out their assigned duties would be called a "goon squad" especially if it becomes necessary to forcefully quell a person behaving unlawfully while forceibly resisting a lawful command. (And it doesn't matter whether the person is a citizen oran adult, or not.)

Ah, gee, we haven’t had a left tard troll like this to abuse in a long time. Let it stay around a little longer. I haven’t even extended my claws yet. :)

Yes, I miss the days when Jim and the Mods would let us play with ‘em for a bit. The Mods would even add fun things to the thread title once the lightning and the kitties appeared.

Ahhh, memories…

Ah, the good old days!

Nothing brings FReepers together like a newly minted lefty troll posting a vanity.

We should thank this turd for bringing us together in fellowship and camaraderie.
He’s done a lot to unite us in common cause.

Naaaaaaaaaaw! Just kidding.

What is happening in Minneapolis is occurring because some people in state/local government, and some private citizens, believe they have the right to obstruct the enforcement of valid federal immigration law, simply because they disagree with that law. They are deliberately provoking confrontations with federal law enforcement in pursuit of that end.

The issue is indistinguishable legally from some state/local governments in the south that attempted to enforce segregation despite federal law banning it. The federal government is entitled to enforce federal law. I'm fact, the Constitution require the President "Take Care that the laws be faithfully executed."

The entire reason we got in this mess is because some Presidents not only ignored that obligation, but actively undermined it in the area of immigration. Well, those chickens are coming home to roost, and the laws are finally being enforced as required.

If someone doesn't like that, then they need to win elections and change those laws. Until then, federal immigration law can and should be enforced.
