“You’ve got an awfully loose view of what constitutes a dictatorship,then.”
I didnt say “dictatorship”, I said “dictorial”
Funny you ducked my question
Okay, I'll answer your question. None of those things you list compel me to do anything. I don't have to pray if I don't want to. I don't have to have an abortion. I don't have to enter into a gay marriage. So, no, I don't feel that my freedom is impinged by any of those.
And the mechanisms that would allow you to change any of those are intact--the constitutional amendment process. Gather enough people who agree with you and you can change the laws, or the government, to suit you. Like I said, you have a loose definition of dictatorial. Or dictorial.
Now answer my question: Was the United States a freer country when it allowed slavery?
