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

Welcome to FR. Just for the record, there is a difference between a democracy and a republic; the USA is a republic. Please take note:
A democracy is a political system in which the people periodically, by majority vote at the polls, select their rulers. The rulers then have absolute power to make whatever laws they please, by majority vote among themselves.

In a constitutional Republic, the people also, by majority vote at the polls, select rulers, who make laws by majority vote among themselves; but the rulers cannot make any laws they please because the Constitution severely restricts their lawmaking power.

The ideal of a democracy is universal equality. The ideal of a constitutional Republic is individual liberty.

In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our Republic and transforming it into a democracy. One tactic of the subverters is subversion of language. By calling the United States a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term, totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of our principles of government.

Dan Smoot Report, 1966
And too many Republican politicians are actually on the side of “democracy” these days.

All good ideas. The reality is that leftism can not be co- existed with. They seek to destroy all those things. They started this scare, we didn’t.

There are no goon squads going out to shoot American citizens and you are a fraud.

Well, the actual goon squad was the protesters with the guy with a loaded gun and 60 extra shells. He got shot when that gun went off, while he was fighting four+ ICE representatives.

He had no ID, so he was unlawfully carrying. He expected to kill US government employees.

Why do you have a personal crisis and lie about the truth when you claim to be for “Person responsibility?”

ICE did everything really well.

ICE people are also US Citizens and have full right to defend themselves.

Signed up today to make one solitary post, which is a vanity thread about how immigration enforcedment is terrible and done by “goons”.

I’m really no expert. But now and again you should use a period in your comments.

It’s too confusing otherwise.

You joined today and you have only one post and that is to post a vanity attacking ICE and Republicans’ values.

I doubt you’ll be around long.
