It is true that few people REALLY like freedom and liberty, if someone uses it in ways they do not like.

Yeah.

People should be free to do whatever they feel like.

For example, is someone wants to improve their neighborhood by decorating fences and buildings with graffiti, busybodies should not be permitted to make laws preventing that.

And if someone wants the freedom to blast his car stereo and horn under other peoples' windows, he should be free to do so.

Freedom means anything goes, man. And if someone else doesn't like it, he should mind his own business.

"Freedom means anything goes, man. And if someone else doesn't like it, he should mind his own business."

None of us said any such nonsense. Do you often argue with such obvious strawmen?

LIBERTY, if you do not know, means being able to live one's life as one chooses, so long as one does not violate the life, liberty, or property of another through force or fraud.

Far too many people do as you have, and compare acts against others' lives and property to acts one performs on oneself. It is apples and oranges. Oh, and "neocon" as a pejorative is pretty much only used by leftists and Pat Buchanan. Neither one is in any way credible; nor does its use make you look intelligent.
