I’m going to miss you, your are a voice of reason snd compromise here. I know it is tough, in my case, of being libertarian and/or a Barry Goldwater type (or South Park) of conservative. One thing I do fear is the tyranny of the left but I’m also afraid of a tyranny from something akin to an American version of a Taliban. I have very conservative views myself and I do believe in God and religion but it is something for each of us to find their own way and it cannot, nor should not, be pushed on society by the power of the gun. If we feel the left should not to that, we should hold ourselves to the same standard. I think we need to stress responsibility and accountability too.
Any example of just who it is that is pushing religion on society by the power of the gun?
So conservative FReepers are the Taliban?
I don't think you know what the word "Taliban" really means.
Nowhere Man: “...American version of a Taliban.”
You really need to get over this particular phobia of yours. I say phobia because your fear isn’t rational. There’s no Christian Taliban waiting in the wings ready to swoop in and steal your porn collection, bust down your door while you’re fornicating with your girlfriend, or getting ready to seize your weed (not saying you engage in any of the above, just making a point). We aren’t even out to ban alcohol (which was at least done legally/constitutionally and popularly imposed—gotta give ‘em credit for that).
The Christian “Taliban” at the point simply wants to keep the sodomists from indoctrinating our children and taking over our institutions. We also want to protect and preserve life, whether it’s old or very young. The blue laws aren’t coming back, my FRiend. Relax!
