You’ve decided to make a jump to interject stealing and deceit into the conversation, instead of specifically speaking to the merits of the case I’ve outlined.
If you read through the progression of steps that I explained to arrive at the conclusions I’ve drawn, and you truly don’t understand how I arrived there, perhaps you’d like to explain where along my chain of reasoning you start to disagree, instead of taking the dialog to the level of stating I’ve lost touch with reality or am trying to deceive you.
I’m not going launch into a defense of my conservatism when you are not speaking to the merits of what I’ve taken the time to write thus far.
Your choice, you can tell me how what I’ve written is wrong if you choose. As far as I’m concerned it stands on its own merits until you specifically refute it.

The fact that your freedom can be stolen by those with more power than you is a valid point which counters your notion that our freedom is completely within our own individual control.

You cannot make such blatantly false statements like “the left is not anti-religion”, and expect me to follow your reasoning beyond that point. If you really believe that socialistic/communist forms of government are not anti-religion, you should spend a little time in China to find out just how blessed you truly are here where God is openly acknowledged as our source of freedom. Ignorance of truth makes your reasoning moot.

At this point, I seriously doubt you know what it is, or understand it, or believe in it for that matter. There appears to be no common ground from which a relevant discussion can occur if you refuse to define your base.
Your smelling like a troll to me now.
>>> I’m not going launch into a defense of my conservatism when you are not speaking to the merits of what I’ve taken the time to write thus far.
I didn’t ask you to defend your conservatism.
I asked you to define it.
I’m looking for common ground here.
