How much experience have you had in the industry? Ever seen a plant grown...from seed? I have. Trust me, the scripture fits. Seems to me Conservatives are all about personal freedom, unless pot, abortion or gay marriage, all of which are up to God to punish, if you want to get scriptural about it. You’re usurping God’s authority, something you yourself will have to answer to Him for, not me.

Seems to me . . .

That's your problem right there. You are relying on emotional perception rather than facts.<


. . . Conservatives are all about personal freedom, unless pot, abortion or gay marriage, all of which are up to God to punish, if you want to get scriptural about it.

Conservatives such as myself believe that the citizens of a society should have the sole voice in shaping that society. If the members of a society want to legalize pot, or same-sex marriage, or teaching creation in our public schools, then so be it. THAT is the Conservative position. Now compare that to the liberal position that pot should be legalized despite what the members of society say, or that same-sex marriage should be sanctioned by government despite the will of that government chosen by the people believe. And liberals believe that creation should be prohibited from being taught in school despite the will of the members of that society.

Freedom? If it weren't for Conservatives, we wouldn't have any freedom left. If you want to smoke dope, then smoke to your heart's content. But it will be the Conservative who will be fighting for the personal freedom of the business owner to hire and fire whoever he wants, while the liberal will be the one denying the business owner that freedom.

How dare you lecture me about personal freedom when you should be going after the people who are dictating their version of morality upon an unwilling populace - liberals. Next time you think about personal freedom, ask yourself who it is that made it illegal to purchase an insurance policy that does not cover birth control. Ask yourself who it is that sacrifices the freedom of equal protection by implementing racial quotas that abridge liberty for all. Ask yourself who it is that uses the power of a central government to force a cake maker to design cakes against his will. And ask yourself who it is that jails farmers who dare to sell raw milk to consumers who want to purchase that milk.

Personal freedom? Sorry Charlie. The current fascism which we now live under is not conducive with personal freedom.

You need to read the Book of Romans. God put government over us and we are to pay our taxes and obey the law. That includes laws concerning illegal drugs, abortion and gay marriage. You do know how to create a libertarian, right? You take a conservative and remove all common sense.

Scripture says: "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
