Oh so I am a control freak now.
Not making the connection between eminent domain laws and totalitarianism, not having a tolerance for Men wanting to stick their penis in another Man's anus and of course having no real appreciation for smoking dope...
...this all makes "Me" a control freak.
Defaulting to Democrat debating tactics speaks volumes for where you as a person really stand in the grand scheme of things.
You're no Conservative...and from the looks of it, no Libertarian. You're simply an adolescent contrarian who does not like authority. Like I said in my opening post, beat it scrub.
Adolescent? Not for about twenty years, bub.
If you're not a control freak, then how do you explain your desire to CONTROL what people do sexually? Personally, I'd rather not hear about it, but I don't think it needs to be made illegal. If you want government to ride herd on consenting adults in their bedrooms, that DOES make you a control freak. Try looking at it objectively, not through the lens of "I don't like it, therefore it should be banned".
And YOU started this, with liberal tactics like childlike misspellings and veiled accusations of loyalty to my country.
And for the record, I have NEVER said I don't like authority. I just don't think we need huge, steaming piles of it. Obviously, you do.
I would like to know why the hell you threw down first, though. Thought I had a thin skin... you've got me beat there.
So, no, I'm not leaving. Don't like it, don't read it. Or write your congressman and have me made illegal. That's what statists like to do... solve problems with government.
If you want me to "beat it", why have you spent the last several posts trying to figure out what I am, especially if you had your mind made up in the first place?
If you're not a control freak, then maybe "rabid authoritarian goon" might be more descriptive. If you have a beef against gays, liberals would say you should be muzzled; I won't. You have the right to demean them all you want. But if you want an authority figure to have the added burden of policing what gays do to each other, just because you don't like them, then I don't know what to tell you. I'd rather see those resources go into cracking down on child porn, wife beating, and other tangible, harmful crimes.
Let's say you're a cop. You have the ability to stop one of the following activities: Two adults having unauthorized copulations, or a child being abused. Ready... go.
Or between these two: You can stop a bank robbery, or hand out a ticket for illegal parking. Hint: One of these crimes is more important than the other.
Have fun, and have a government-approved day!
It isn't just about eminent domain.
The big city in my area, Springfield, Missouri, has jumped on the liberal touchy-feely bandwagon and proposed banning smoking in ALL privately-owned establishments.
Now, you can't smoke in City Hall, or the post office, and that's okay. But if I owned a restaurant, a bar, or a cigar store - especially there - then I have the right to determine whether or not I will allow smoking in MY place of business.
But, since property rights aren't really all that important, I guess I'd have to let the local lawmakers run roughshod over my business and my clientele. Comply and obey, it's for "the common good".
