welcome to the awakening, respectfully. this has been afoot for decades. either you are for individual liberty and all it implies, as an absolute, or you are a statist and all IT implies, as an absolute.

now, tell as many as will listen. freedom is absolute, period.

also, there is no moderation between statism and liberty. liberty ceases to exist when it is restricted, to any degree, barring anarchy, of course.

it is merely a matter of degree between one who believes the state has the authority to take or issue SOME rights, and one who believes the state has the authority to take or issue ALL or MOST rights. this is the choice you are faced with regarding the dems and repubs. think about it.

they both agree the state has the authority to take or issue some rights, they disagree only on which ones.

individual liberty believes that rights exist as a part of being man, or only from man himself, or God, but that they exist in man as man is.
