So, I lurk on Free Republic quite a bit. Usually it's to read some of the outrageous comments some post here and some of it is to see what your opinions are on certain articles that also get posted elsewhere.
So, a little bit about myself. I'm in my 20s and of Hispanic origin. I was born in New York but moved to Florida when I was three years old. I'm what you guys would consider a "socialist". I don't consider myself a socialist, I'm a supporter of the free market economy except I favor strong government regulations.
While on many issues am probably to the left of the Democratic Party there is one issue I agree with the Republicans but it isn't an issue that would ever sway me to vote for the Republican Party. That issue is gun rights. I love guns and I believe the 2nd amendment is a fundamental right to the people of the United States. I don't believe in a ban on "assault" weapons or on accessories like there is on certain sized magazines. I also support the right for one to properly defend themselves with or without deadly force with your legally owned firearm.
However, on economic and social issues I side with the DNC. I'm probably to the left of the DNC on most issues.
So anyways, ask away.
When you moved to Florida, you became a pollutionist
You’re a baby killer with a gun!?! Ain’t that speshul?
Time will pry you away from the dark side.
Did we scare him off?
Sorry. Anyone declaring themselves a Socialist is claiming fellowship to those who have killed and enslaved millions. You’re damn right I’m done “talking”.
IBTZ!!!
They are destroying my country and the society in which I live. I no longer have patience for their games.
Do you believe in excusing the lawless entry of foreign nationals in the U.S. by granting amnesty?
You’re very young and lack an education on the real history of this country. For that I’m truly regretful. You wouldn’t be a socialist if you had the truth.
Winston Churchill said it best “If you aren’t a liberal in your 20s, you have no heart; if you aren’t a conservative in your 40s, you have no brain.” We will wait patiently for your brain to develop. In the meantime, perhaps you should read the writings of our founders. The Federalist Papers, etc. The nanny state is coming to an end, and perhaps - if your brain is developed enough - you should consider standing on your own without “government regulation.” The very government that will enslave you if you let it. BTW, how’s Cuba working out?
So where were your parents from and why did they come to the United States? Did they come here legally or are they hiding under the illegal flag?
It’s OK, I was an idiot at your age, just like you. There is hope.
I maintain Mr. Churchill was half right.
He’s back.
So, you want us to bake you a cake?
I think you have just written your own obit. Ya me despido.
Obviously, you haven't yet learned the true meaning of the word "free." If you're in favor of more government control of the market, then you must be in favor of more government control of your life. They go hand in hand.
So go to the Koz and leave us alone, your liberalism has polluted and ruined...the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Episcopal Church, Christianity in General, education, finance, and on and on...just go the hell away. And don’t drop your pollution here!
