The "authoritarian conservatives", just like the founders, believe that all people are inherently bad (this has to do with the Christian roots).

Say no more. You're delusional on the issue.
I won't bother you further. Thanks.

The problem with liberteens and the party, it's always about drugs, no one uses, but it still should be legal. I disagree.

The very essence of socialism is that people cannot care for themselves, and individuals owe others something, and must give up their rights and income for 'the greater good'. There is no 'leave people alone' in that equation.

The essence of socialism is covetness. It is a symbiotic covetness - those who covet the wealth and comfort that is not their's to have and those who covet the power to take and distribute that wealth and comfort which is not theirs to take. "Thou shall not covet" is the tenth commandment. And some idiots want to remove the ten commandments from the courts and the public. It is amazing that such an ancient wisdom could be so acutely applicable today.

What the Libertarians and Liberals have in common, among other things, is a hijacking of the concept of individual rights while dispensing with the belief system that formulated such rights.

Without the Creator (of Rights), you just have a hugfest of animal-humans who make up the rules as they go along while pretending that they are extra-special than any other animal. I now have a right to to kill fetuses...because I said so, now leave me alone...Gays have a right to marriage...because I said so, now leave me alone...Minorites are downtrodden...and deserve special treatment...because I said so, now leave me alone...
