This amid a call for unity. What a crock.
These "personal liberties" are little more than a ruse, a false sense of license with which to build a society incapable of self-government, requiring a massive police state to settle disputes and a welfare state to mitigate the damage of its own doing.
I too about choked when I read,"Democrats may want to expand personal liberties, but Republicans have spent the last few years working feverishly to restrict them." Huh? I had to reread it to make sure I read it right. Do these people live on the same planet?
They really think that a massive centralized federal government that taxes us to death and cranks out 50-100 regulations a day is 'expanding our personal liberties?' Do they think that socialized medicine, czars, bloated bureaucracies, trashing the constitution, Cloward-Piven strategy, orchestrated economic destruction, and planned gun control is 'expanding our personal liberties?' HHS, Homeland Security, all the 'Departments of,' executive orders almost daily, TSA, . . you name it.
As others have said, at least he recognizes the divide. It's not going to get any closer. . .
